enigma-2

Actually, they still do. One of my work computers is an XP machine and Microsoft just updated it with several security updates yesterday.

Hard to tell by looking at the pictures but I can't see the sensor holders. Heres a video on how the are replaced. May help:

Local shops charge around 12-13, Ford garage will be up around 2k. Heres a video showing how to change the water pump, guides, tensioner and chain.

Your liftgate cylindars are weak and need replacing. Easy to do.

The five years was from when the car was sold new. Course there's always an extended warranty .......

You realize you're responding to a message that's 5-1/2 years old? lol. FWIW, my 09 MKX and gets around what yours is getting.

Be wary of Chinese clones. People have had problems with fake SD cards. Work for awhile and then fail. They look real, but for 40% of retail..... ?

Looking at the owners manual, navigation is default on start up. Takes all of left-hand side of screen, right side is split into audio and phone stuff. Is that the way yours looks (page 418) or are you saying that navigation takes up the entire screen?

We had a new Edge as a rental in Seattle. The hatch dropped slightly at the end of it's close. On my 2009 MKX it closes slowly to the end and an electric motor pulls it closes and locks. They must have found a way to cheapen it up. The 2018 worked fine in my opinion.

Apparently its 2 ohms. Discussed in the Explorer forum: https://www.explorerforum.com/forums/index.php?threads/stock-sub-ohms-voice-coils.283535/

I'm curious, why did you demand a rental car from the dealer? Do you have an extended warranty that covers extended repairs?

What's your mpg now?

Just asking, did you use Motorcraft spark plugs? One other area you could consider is you may have loosened or broken a vacume line when you changed the water pump or plugs, just enough to cause the car to malfunction at idle.

Doubt a third-party warranty will cover it as it hasent failed (just creates a poping sound).

Weak batteries can cause electrical problems like this. Back in the day you could count on a battery lasting 4 or 5 years. No so today. Once they have been fully discharged, they can be permanently weakened or destroyed (depending on the temperature). I would have it tested somewhere where they can tell you the CCA (cold cranking amps) remaining. I would also suspect it will fail. A weakened battery can cause all kinds of strange problems.

How old is your battery? The FORScan log indicates below normal voltage. I would do a CCA reading. Can't trust doing just a voltage reading like the dealers do. I use (as do others here) a Solar BA7 to watch mine. accurate. SOLAR BA7 100-1200 CCA Electronic Battery and System Tester https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0015PI7A4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_suQSBbAH3CFDN

Did they change just the seals or the entire PTU?

Try spraying it with silicone spray first. Probably dirt causing it to bind creating the poping as it releases. (I use WD40 Dry Lube on mine).

I *think* akirby was talking about 2017+ models.

On my 09 MKX, they're attached with velcro strips.

"And the answer is, what size shoe was the engineer wearing who drove the train that delivered the load of dead batteries to the supplier"?

Everything is read matches the responses above. Here's something I pulled off an different site "Transmission ratio, tranny/engine cooling, brakes and charging systems are all the same with/without trailer tow package. There are no mechanical differences between the two except as follows: The hitch included with the trailer tow package is an entirely different rear-bumper assembly compared to those without - it is not simply an add-on hitch." Everything I've also read says that the sway control is installed at the factory and CANNOT be added by the dealer or aftermarket. Keep in mind that the capacity is limited to 1,500 lbs with factory or aftermarket and no trailer brakes, 2000 lbs with aftermarket and trailer brakes or 3,500 lbs with factory tow pkg and trailer brakes.

I've never read what the actual loudness of the OEM horn is, but the DOT requirement is 110 db at 10 ft. Aftermarket horns are usually 135 db but that's usually measured right at the horn opening. I did read an interesting article where Ford changed the actual sound of the horn depending where on the world the car is sold. https://www.wheels.ca/news/theres-a-reason-your-car-horn-sounds-wimpy/ Wikipedia states OEM horns are 107 to 109 db. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_horn As for high/low pitch, not certain what your looking for. Both horns come mounted on a steel bracket. In my experience dating back many years ago, the last time I replaced a horn, each was marked either "high" or "low" on the horn.

My 98 Sable started doing this when I backed out of the garage after sitting all night. Turned out to be one (or both) rear brakes hanging the releasing. Some part needed to be greased.

kiss. Go to dealer and say The Works. Done.
