Hey Froggy372, you ever figure this out?

Ford Edge Towing Guide
enigma-2 replied to Edge Guide's topic in Cargo, Hauling, Roof Racks & Towing
Looking over the various trim levels, it' appears to be related to engine ft.lb. ratings. With the 2.0L its 1,500 lbs. and 3,500 lbs. with the 3.5L. Looking at the Sport, the engine isn't rating for towing even though it has higher hp rating. -
Most likely cause is corrosion in the connection. I'd pull each and look to see which is corroded. Spray with electrical contacr cleaner. This is what I use: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000BXOGNI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabt1_g4XPFbWVKGV57

I thought you were looking for the 307-584 - Compressor, 2-6 Spring (which is in the kit). Why not try writing the seller and see if he will measure the part and send you the dimensions? (Worth a try). You can buy a 303-1251 for $80 on Ebay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/OTC-303-1251-Ford-Rotunda-Front-Seal-Installer-and-Guide/274423189259?epid=1126233196&hash=item3fe4e58f0b:g:EfoAAOSw1tVfB4V6

2019+ Fog Lights
enigma-2 replied to IcyFridge's topic in Glass, Lenses, Lighting, Mirrors, Sunroof (BAMR), Wipers
Fog lamps may actually work against you in this case. They do throw more light on the road, but its close to the car and down to the sides. The extra light will appear as more light to your pupils, causing them to close slightly. This affects down road vision. (The true purpose of fog lights are to be used in periods of low visibility, fog, rain snow and are designed to light the edge of the roadway. It's assumed that in inclimate weather you are traveling at a very low speed, say 10 mph, and need extra light to find the edge of the road.) -
Is this what your looking for? https://www.ebay.com/itm/373245823046

Just guessing but it sounds like it's the "Parking Brake"? Page 187 of OM (1st edition).

2011 - 2014 Ford Edge Light Bar
enigma-2 replied to dfreeman332's topic in Accessories & Modifications
I'd be careful to keep rain, snow out of floorwell. Glad to hear the lights work out. I can't go anywhere around here (rural area) without having oncoming traffic. With some of the dark, rainy nights we've had, I don't think any amount of extra lightning would help. (Actually I think headlights act as a deer call.) -
Still getting bad certificate. Real pita. Every page get warning and takes several clicks to load. Also pages not loading properly.

Try a reset. Press the power button on the climate control and the defrost at the same time. (May have to do it more then once). -
Floor Mats similar to Findway's
enigma-2 replied to Zoey Marsdog's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
Link looks broken. That and Findway does not list any products for the Edge. I haven't seen anything that is carpeted and molded up the sides like Weathertech. These are not what your looking for, but fairly well known, carpeted and have a water resistant layer. https://www.carid.com/2020-ford-edge-floor-mats/lloyd-ultimat-floor-mats-161195.html Now, if you REALLY want great mats ......

When I discussed this with my service manager, he said they were told that Ford wants to go with this new coolant exclusively. He also told me this was the only coolant they new stock. Whenever an older vehicle comes in for a coolant change they switch the vehicle over to this. I think that you can use it to top off existing coolants, but not all. Would have to check on this , but I thought he said something about the early coolants (meaning gold) not being compatible. (Think that's why they did an acid wash and full flush on mine).

Sync 3 Navigation Map Update
enigma-2 replied to baronizer's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
Here and all of the other map makers spend millions each year to continuously develop and update maps each year. (A good example is the app called Waze paid $1.3 billion to Google for access to their maps). Ford charged us for the hardware and (to my understanding) never told us that we would get software updates for free for life. There's no real reason we need to update each year, I used to update every three years. And I also use Google maps on my cell phone when I need it. (But I prefer using my navigation system whenever I can). -
I bought Pirelli Scorpion's for my wife's Sebring Convertible and she lives them. But that car is a thousand pounds or more lighter. She has good traction in the snow with them. I had Bridgestone Dueler H/L's. Great tires. Replaced them with a new set before I needed to to restore tread for winter. I decided on Bridgestone's after reading results on Tirerack.com. They show best tires based on vehicle and use. I'm checking on their site and their now showing Pirelli Scoroion Verde All Season Plus and being top rated (2009 MKX with AWD). I don't trust any customer reviews unless they are showing at least 20,000 miles on the tire as all tires are great when new (and most reviews are written right after they had them installed). Before you decide, pick a couple of good choices thd read the reviews on Amazon. They tend to be more honest (more miles).

2011 - 2014 Ford Edge Light Bar
enigma-2 replied to dfreeman332's topic in Accessories & Modifications
That floorboard switch reminded me of some of my first cars. They had a switch like that to switch on tbe high beams. The problem with those switches is the rust out quickly (being exposed to the underside of the body and exposed to road salt/spray, etc.) You may soon regret this type of installation. I'd recommend you consider an inline fuse rated slightly over the draw to protect against shorts (when the switch terminals short due corrosion). -
Daylight running lamps are powered through the SJB. Same fuse as headlamps. As for the add-on exterior lighting, you could tie into several different circuits. For example, consider using one of the power point circuits (they are hardly used anyway) and provide a separate, online fuse to protect the circuit against road hazards. Fuse at 150% of the anticipated load. ""Use SAE rated wiring in ALL automotive accessory wiring as the cheaper stuff is a fire hazard.""

They told me that the replacement PTU they were installing was a redesigned and upgraded unit that Ford had come out with. Designed for my 09 Zmkx (presumably 07-11 MKX and Edges). Hearing this i was hoping for a drain but they said no. Lead me to assume that they were using the same casing. One other point, local dealer now recommends PTU fluid changes as a regular maintenance item. Got me wondering if it was a change in FoMoCo view on problem.
-
According to the Weathertech site, there is a different model specified for the 2020. Checked and they also fit my 09 MKX, so I'd imagine they fit 08 through 11. Possibly others. https://www.weathertech.com/side-window-deflectors/

Had my PTU replaced on my 09 MKX last year, under extended warranty. Talked to service and asked if the new unit had a drain plug like the latest designs. They said no, but it was a new design, with different gear(s) and more fluid capacity. (Think that's what he said). Wonder if the new idler is one of the changes in the new design?
-
I talked to my local service manager about this a few months ago (before he left). He said my 2009 should be good for "at least" 150,000. We talked about doing preventative maintenance R&R and he said he wouldn't consider it before 150k. I mentioned that I had read about problems and he said Ford isn't seeing a lot of problems on cars where the owners get regular oil and coolant changes. (by the book). (I still have mine covered under a Premium Care extended warranty to cover for concern like this - replaced the PTU last year and cost $0).

Yup! Absolutely agree. Looks half ass.

There were two different blues offered in 2016; Kona Blue Metallic and Too Good To Be Tue Metallic.

2020 Edge SEL & Random Audible Tones
enigma-2 replied to Gary B.'s topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
Can't wait for the 2022 models with the HAL sync system. "I'm sorry Gary, but I can't let you drive this fast, so I'm going to slow down now". Or perhaps a mother-in-law mode where the voice comes from the back seat "Does he always drive so fast? Wasn't that your turn? Are you watching where your going? It's awful warm in here, I'll just open a window". Can't wait. Yup.
