  1. It's my understanding that the front drive is full time (mechanically) and there is a controller at the rear that determines when the back axle is connected or not. This would require a total rework of the the transaxle, PTU and read end to make it work. And, you wouldnt really gain anything, imo. The car was designed and balanced for front wheel drive.
  2. Who wee. You live east of the steel mills? lol About how many miles on the filter? (Mostly highway or city?)
  3. Out of curiosity, about how many miles you have on the car? Just curious as to how long it can go until failure.
  4. The date is set through the GPS signal. To reset, press the hard MeNU button, then the soft CLOCK, then ("Restore Defaults") soft RESET. This will fource a reset to the current GPS settings.
  5. I wonder if the relay would also need changing? Haven't checked, but may be wise to check the rating as 2 horns draw twice as much and Ford may have put in a lower-rated relay.
  6. First of all, it's NOT a panic alarm. It's a parking lot car locator. ? I thought you were supposed to hit the unlock button to disable the alarm. As its 1:30 in the morning around here, I believe I'll wait until tomorrow to test this.
  7. Going on memory from earlier models, on vehicles with automatic transmissions, there is a gear selector switch on the left side. I would assume that this is working as the camera is working properly. The signal feeds the PCM which triggers the backup light relay in the power fuse panel. As power runs from the relay directly to the reverse lights, I would center in on this relay sticking on.
  8. If you already haven't found the problem, Does the AM band also contain static? If so it would most likely be the AM/FM antenna or mount. Remove the antenna by unscrewing it and check for corrosion in the connector. (The AM/FM antenna is the one at the front, top just in back of the windshield.) I would also pull down the overhead consul and look for any corrosion from a leak.
  9. Sounds like a software issue. I would try a full vehicle reset. Disconnect the battety negative cable for 10 minutes.
  10. I know that on some Ford vehicles you can park the wipers in the up position, called the maintenance position, by going into accessory position, then off, then pulling the stalk down for a couple of seconds. Its purpose is to facilitate changing blades. Kind of sounds like your car is doing this by accident. If so, I'd suspect the wiper stalk (several here have had problems with there's, for others reasons.)
  11. I found that switching to Phillip's X-tremeVision bulbs made a big difference over the OEM halogens. Example: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01C5QY7DW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_JD7qDbTAZNFXR
  12. Did you try doing a MFT reboot by pulling the fuse?
  13. What's the problem? Don't you like your Edge to sound like a 1950 Volkswagon? lol Dealers have the procedure for replacing now. But Ford refuses to warranty a dual horn setup. Go figure.
  14. Fascinating. But I wonder why they tear the production line down every night and then put it back together again in the morning?
  15. You can also add navigation (and Sync 3 if your so inclined) by changing the hardware. Here's a YouTube video describing how to do this. Here's one comete kit you can buy and go plug-and-play. (Not cheap, but neither was oem.)] https://www.4dtech.com/15-ford-edge-navigation-kit-for-myford-touch-systems/
  16. Check Ebay. I paid $25 for a usd version.
  17. YouTube video showing how to do this on a 2012 https://youtu.be/ODFY9TS6GsY
  18. I can give you wiring for a 2010, 6-way power seats (you didn't specify the year or type of seat.) Power from the battery junction box (fuse is F60 - 30 amp) to seat switch: Green with red stripe Grounds are black with blue stripe Front height (up): white with violet stripe Front height (down): gray Rear height (up): blue with brown stripe Rear height (down): yellow with blue stripe Horizontal (aft): green Horizontal (forward): green with violet stripe
  19. Thanks. But I was thinking of water blowing up into the engine compartment when driving on wet roads. (Winter months around here, et. al.) Really good idea about using the pin switch. I was looking at an old fashioned under hood light that employed a mercury switch.
  20. Change the transmission fluid, engine oil, PTU fluid and rear differential fluids. Check ALL of your fuses (Wil tell you which electrical connectors got water inside.) Required in owners manual for flooded cars (your car qualifies under flooded by Ford's definition.) I would imagine your insurance company will total out the car (most will do if flooded above floor level.) Really sorry to hear about your car. Hope it works out ok.
  21. Cooper Tire & Rubber Co. (Cooper Tire) is recalling certain size 235/65R18 Cooper Discoverer SRX, Evolution H/T, Discoverer HTP, Adventurer H/T CUV, Big O Big Foot A/S, Les Schwab Back Country QS3 Touring HT, and Mastercraft Courser HSX Tour tires. The tires may have been improperly manufactured with a ply cord distortion. For a full list of the Tire Identification Numbers (TIN) visit: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2019/RCLRPT-19T005-5639.pdf The distortion may cause parting of the lower sidewall compounds extending to the cord material, increasing the risk of tire failure and a crash. Cooper Tire has notified owners, and dealers will replace the tires, free of charge. The recall began June 14, 2019. Owners may contact Cooper Tire customer service at 1-800-854-6288. Cooper Tire's number for this recall is 172.
  22. Nice! You mentioned "simple LED strip", is the strip exterior rated (that is, rated to be waterproof)?
  23. Easiest and cheapest way is to use a pre-made harness (mirror-tap) that plugs into the back of your mirror connector. The mirror is on the time delay circuit, it powers on with the ignition and stays on until a door is opened or timed expires (just like the radio.)
