Try running a diagnostic test. Press and hold the power and defrost buttons - or power and auto buttons - (depending on your options) for two seconds and then within a second or two, the power button again. Often thats all it takes to get everything working again.

Thoughts. ... You're going to take a $2500 hit if you fix it or sell it (by dropping the price 2.5k). If you still like the car, its cheaper than buying a new one. (This is when those pesky extended warranties come in handy). ? I had something simular on the Sable I owned (only the compressor didn't fail, something kicked it to shut it all down when the gas and oil leaked out). Even though it was old. I just bit the bullet and fixed it. (Loved the Sable, most comfortable seats I've ever had in a car. Great car, body/frame rusted out from under it.)

When your looking in the engine compartment, look on the cowling and you'll see the PCM (has three large wiring harnesses connected to it). Reach UNDER the cowling, (under the PCM) and you will feel a felt-like pad covering the bottom of the cowling. That's where the air intake is located (air drawn in through this pad. (I think). Because the back of the PCM is installed in this duct, I think they are using the intake airstream to cool the PCM and then its drawn into the hvac cowling through a rectangular hole in the dashboard (or more properly, firewall inasmuch as the dashboard is actually the steel part angled up at a 45° angle where your feet go). If you getting mice in the blower motor, they are inside your engine compartment. Probably chewed a hole in the intake pad. Check ALL of your engine wiring as they love to chew on pvc insulation.

Lighting has a separate warranty. (As does glass). When I was buying my latest PremiumCARE extended warranty, the finance manager was reading all of the other warranties Ford offered and was shaking his head not to take. (Smile).

Add transmission cooler. On my 09 the tranny fluid is routed to the bottom of the radiator. Also keep in mind that the frontal area of the trailer is limited to 20 sq.ft. without tbe towing pkg. (Goes up to 30 sq.ft. with pkg).

Probably needs an ABS bleed. Dealer can do it with diagnostic tool. (Most likely a valve stuck open in the ABS module). Happened to me a few years ago. Was in for an oil change. Told dealer I had a soft pedal and went to floor. After I got the car back an hour or so later, had a firm pedal. Said they bled something. Posted here and response was they bled the ABS valve. Never charged me. No problems since.

I thought this system worked with BOTH 3G AND 4G networks!!!! At least that's what they advertised. It's only the 3G networks that are being turned off. Most everyone is currently on 4G anyways at this point (how many flip phones have you seen in use lately)? Don't see what the problem is, as the modem in the car works with both networks. (?)

4th year + going on five on this Motorcraft battery. I typically get 6 to 7 years on them. IMO they are one of the best on the market. (I used them in all of my cars, Ford or not). Two years means something is wrong. Have you ever checked your charging system? Belts?

Re: Is it obvious if the fan assembly isn't working properly or cycling correctly, or would I need a code scanner? Turn the ac on. Both fans should be running continuously. If not, you need a new assy. (Buy ONLY Motorcraft).

Just do a search in this forum. Dozens of posts talking about subwoofers and enclosures.

From the owners manual: Note: Splashing water may cause the hands-free liftgate to open. Keep the intelligent access key away from the rear bumper detection area when washing your vehicle.

Did you check the condition of the cabin air filter? A clogged filter may restrict air flow resulting in the resistor pack (and motor) to overheat. Basically located behind the glove box. Empty the glovebox, remove the tensioner cable, cock glovebox sideways and wiggle out. There is a small (approx 1-1/2"x11") that unclips on the left hand side. The filter just slides out. (Note that if it's really dirty, to take precaution (some newspaper) to catch the dirt that always seems to fall off.

On my 2009 MKX all power points stay hot and do not time out (gen 1). However ("I think") starting with gen 2 they changed the power points to time out at 15 minutes. (This can be changed using ForScan. The value can be set from 1 second to several hours). If you want it on all the time, change the value to 24 hours. There is another condition where all power points will shut off. If your ignotion is off and the battery voltage drops below 11 volt (think its 11) the power points (as well as all other accessories) will shut off.

Go to an aftermarket supplier (such as this one) and ask them who is a local installer of their products. https://www.autoease.com/product/liftgate/ At least thats a starting point. Try contacting several suppliers for their recommendations. I doubt anyone here has done this in your area. Not a common conversion. Post back what you find out. We'd all like to know how you made out.

First and foremost, either the driver side fan is failed or the fan controller. This will cause the engine to overheat when idling and going slow (at highway speeds the air flow through the heat exchanger is sufficient). An overheating engine will run rough. This happened to me couple of years ago. Had the local Ford garage change the fan assembly (both fans and controller are mounted to a frame as an assembly). If you do it yourself, don't think of using anything other than Motorcraft assembly (aftermarket assys have been poor at best). Should solve several problems. I'd also recommend turning off the AC when idling and at slow speeds until its repaired. This is really hard on an engine so don't put it off too much longer. Als recommend doing an oil change afterwards. Oil may have cooked if it got too hot. Synthetic has limits too.

What's the consensus of how this is happening? I've never had any fog or mist or condensation in my 09 MKX lights. Front or rear. not ever. Having actual liquid water inside a headlight is a lot of water. So where's it coming from. Condensation? Leaking bulb seals? Cracks in the housing? Q. Are the pressure relief vent hols so small that water vapor is forcing itself in but to small to allow it pass back out? (Water vapor is a pressure. There's more force to push the water into the lamp assemblies than out. By this I'm assuming water vapor is a pressure, the inside of the lights are very dry, therefore the pressure is to go from high pressure (outside) to low pressure (inside). In relieving the water vapor inside the lens, it's going from a low (or more precisely "lower") pressure into a high pressure. A. So, (and I'm thinking out loud) the fix is to enlarge the vent holes. Or drill additional holes to allow better equalization. (This assumes that the housing isn't cracked or bad bulb seals allowing rain or road spray to get in). edit: Was Googling and found that the main cause is a blocked vent. Try running a small wire into the housing vent to make certain it's open.

Years ago i had my 09 in for something (my have been an oil change). Mentioned I had a soft pedal. When I got the car back an hour later had a hard pedal. Asked what they did and said something about bleeding something in the brake system. Wasn't the brakes, something near the booster. Whatever it was they didn't charge for it.

I agree. I popped the LEDs back out. Too bright and too white. Prefer the look of the dimmer and yellower incandescent bulbs.

You guys with older Edges. Ever think of one of these fog-light kits? https://www.ebay.com/i/401896662213?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&itemid=401896662213&targetid=935065066747&device=m&mktype=pla&googleloc=9016241&poi=&campaignid=10459990476&mkgroupid=100467643141&rlsatarget=pla-935065066747&abcId=2146000&merchantid=6296724&gclid=Cj0KCQjwp4j6BRCRARIsAGq4yMEN9RO-tyZRTHV1VY44MXPMEYLojIgDZwucmdyFrgo0-EFFDxQkRfkaAq6lEALw_wcB

Those look like off-road "driving" lights to me. (No way they're fog lights). You certain you want to run with these? Tickets can get expensive.
