  2. Sounds like a failed update. Either that or it was the wrong version (did your car come equipped with FACTORY navigation?).In any case it sounds like a trip to the dealer.
  3. Hers what you can do with the old one after you remove it.
  4. Sorry for the delay, been away. Can't clean the nozzle with a paperclip, must replace. Headliner is basically the ceiling inside the car, not exterior. I did an older post on how I replaced my front ones, click on link below. http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/23597-windshield-washer-nozzle/?fromsearch=1 I'm betting that you have broken connection on the hood nozzle(s) and that's why the rear is weak. Fix front first. Can get aftermarket nozzles on Amazon. PT Auto Warehouse WNZ-FO705-F - Windshield Washer Nozzle, Black - Front Left/Right, Set of 2 $13.20 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077VQG2MZ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_4xTOBb19KM1SS
  5. Mine just trickled and upon close investigation found the one of the front ones was not working at all. Traced it down to a broken spray unit on the hood. The hoses make a sharp 90° bend going into the sprayers and the cheap plastic sprayer elbows break off. This meant that most all the washing fluid was squirting free from the broken hose and little pressure avaliable for the the other front, and hardly any for the back (more to overcome, higher elevation). Replaced both sprayers and all good. If both front are ok, you would need to pull the headliner to gain access to replace the hose. The most likely cause may be the rear nozzle is partly clogged and the hose is just fine. These nozzles just snap into the hole and you should be able to pry out to change. BUT I don't know how much slack the hose has to permit this.
  6. I ran miNE down PAST when it said I was empty by 20 miles or so. (I stayed near gas stations I case I had to walk). I would not have got 50 like you say as the gauge was pegged. My guess is, it's only a reminder to monitor your gas when you get low. Nice feature when your travelling on an intrastate and gas station 's are 20-30 miles apart.
  7. Sounds like artillery fungus. The fungus lives in wood mulch, (the kind you use in flower beds) and can explode up to 18 ft away when the cells fill with water. Very hard to remove. Treatment is to spray the mulch to kill the fungus. Removal is as KLinNBC stated.
  8. Just guessing based on your description, but you may be unplugging the power lead coming into the fuse box. My initial guess is the problem lies in the fuse panel itself. This part actually contains several transistorized circuits that can fail. That being said there is a way to troubleshoot the problem. Connect a VOM (set to amperes) between the positive battery lead and the battery (in series). (This is what you did to determine the leak current. Next disconnect each fuse, one-by-one, and check to see if the draw stops. (There is always some draw coming from the battery, but it's in millimeters.) If after testing all circuits, you do not find a specific circuit, it's the fuse panel (smart junction box) itself. Otherwise you will have isolated the circuit that's causing the draw. Post back your results, we are all curious.
  9. You probably have a dash cam that requires 3 power leads. To get 5v from 12, could always solder in a voltage dropping resistor.
  10. They make a mirror tap harnesses for your Edge that fit Cobra, Blackview, Blackbox Guard & Itronics dash cams. (Any other camera with one of these cameras power connection will also work). Power to the mirror is on the timed accessory feed, turns off when the car is off and door opened or after it times out. Five minute job to wire, I've used mirror tap for a couple of radar detecors. 5 out of 5 stars for ease of installation and usefullness. https://store.blendmount.com/mobile/mirrortap-mtx-seriespatented-power-cord-dc-plug-2-amp-inline-fuse-with-military-grade-taps-p3625.aspx

  12. I may be in a minority, but I just use the synthetic blend the local dealer uses. Good enough for Ford engineering, good enough fur me.
  13. Page 311 from your owners manual. Adding Engine Oil Note: Do not add oil further than the MAX mark. Oil levels above the MAX mark may cause engine damage.
  14. If I were doing it, I'd take the easy way to do it. I'd pull the blower motor out and put it into the heater housing. (What makes you think it's dog feces)? Consider the heath effects of this. It's not the smell that's bad, it's the airborne bacteria that's dangerous. If you could prove any of this, you could have the prick arrested for endangering your health. This stuff can cause all kinds of disease. Very serious. https://www.sahealth.sa.gov.au/wps/wcm/connect/public+content/sa+health+internet/health+topics/health+conditions+prevention+and+treatment/infectious+diseases/ways+infectious+diseases+spread
  15. Bearing. https://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/how-to/a8205/why-does-my-car-wobble-around-corners-13753291/
  16. Used to hear that oil overfilled crankcase will damage an engine. The crank can splash down into the oil, causing it to foam. The oil pickup will ride on the foam and not the oil, causing oil starvation.
  17. I believe that this video will answer your questions.
  18. My guess it was replaced by the previous owner. May have been under an extended warranty. Could have the dealer run the service history.
  19. Ford tech at dealer told me it required a specific amount. He put that amount in and no more. Don't remember how much, wasn't much. Expensive as I remember it.
  20. .... and I go out of my way to find stations that have no ethanol?
  21. Just a young'n eh? Why I remember when it was just a rock.
  22. You really feel it's worth the extra $0.20 a gallon? Doesnt improve Gas milage. You drag racing?
  23. Its my understanding that if you have the 8" touch screen, you have My Ford Touch. From its home screen, look in the upper right hand corner. If it has the word "navigation", you have the navigation system. If it says "insert SD card" you will need to buy and insert a ford navigation SD card to get it operating. If you do not have navigation, it can be added by adding the necessary hardware. Here's a YouTube video on how its done. You can buy a kit that will drop right in for $800. https://www.4dtech.com/11-14-ford-edge-navigation-kit-for-myford-touch-systems/b
  24. Car came with gold. Dealer did flush per ford TSB and put in Dark Green
