Heated and Cooled Seats
garycrist replied to Wedgeamatic's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
If the battery is low on charge, then load shedding takes placeandr electrical accessories are switched off. My advice is to turn off the ASS feature as it will shorten the life of the turbos. OOHH a Ford joke! If one does not switch off one's ASS his blower breaks! 🤣 -
Call the local recycling yard have them look for take-offs (wheels and tires).

You do know about adjusting the rear disc brakes with the emergency brake?

@1Mtmind, Lets go back to the beginning. 1.Pedal went the floor. Replaced Booster and Master. Thing are OK. 2 Failure again with pedal going to the floor. Replaced Booster . Still the same. So master is bad or air in the lines or no fluid. The hissing sound is because the pedal is too far bleeding the vacuum inside As a side note from Ford a long time ago when one could see the fluid in the master cyl. was to have assistant pump the brake up 10 times and hold down. 2nd. person opens top of the master to observe the fluid level. Release the brake pedal. If there is air trapped the fluid will gush like a geyser from the master, indicating witch 1/2 of the system has air trapped.

'20 SEL - Is there a better horn?

Nice job! -
@TourGuide, That's normal. An Easter-egg for free from Ford and the E.P.A.

Ha ha ha @TuxedoBoost, 5 days huh? Well I have you beat! Mine was the 2nd. day as the wife experienced the "Lane Correction Shake" of the steering wheel and ran STRAIGHT into the curb. 2 tires were shredded and the rims were bent to hell. I took the wheels to a repair shop and one can't tell there was a problem. Find a pro wheel shop as they have the right stuff. GL 73

@Ctakacs9 After the repair let everyone know of the results if possible. GL 73

Backup camera quality and always dirty
garycrist replied to kezug's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
The problem with our Edges is they have a big low pressure area behind us as we drive. I've thought about a rear air diffuser possibly helping keep the camera cleaner. -

2025 Nautilus Order Guides - U.S. and Canada

And I got worried when they took the "Tiller " out.😉 -
After going through this whole thread again, I must say a couple pf things. 1. A few % of fuel saving by reducing the life of the turbos and maybe a starter. 2 Most importantly. Keep away from the negative battery terminal with jumper cables. Hook up the positive cable 1st. to the battery!! Then one may hook up the negative to (I prefer the engine) the shock tower as noted above. Disconnection is reverse of the above or the NEGATIVE 1st. The reason for the turbos and my concern, is that they are sitting there still spinning their little hearts out with no oil. Even if they are stopped, they are heat-soaking and coking the residual oil. You make the call.... GL 73

08MKX automatically starts byself
garycrist replied to Holdog101's topic in Alarms, Keyless Entry, Locks & Remote Start
Did you put a"New Battery" in the fob or in the vehicle? -
Dear @TobyJ66 Who cares what motor it has? It is a mental block for you and I have lived through it too! Break it down into separate jobs ie. R&R Fan or A/C condenser. For the most part from the front end of the engine forward, is all the same condenser, radiator, shroud /fan assembly. YOU CAN DO IT! It is just drawn out job with plenty of "Holding your mouth just right" sometimes.

Ford edge 2011 sometimes compressor engaging and sometimes not
garycrist replied to Marlon's topic in 2011 Edge & MKX
Sometimes the relay will not work correctly all of the time. If the relay is intermittent, then this will solve your problem cheaply, as there is no easy way for most to test it other than substitution. As a side note, I always had extra switches, relays in one drawer of my tool box just for this kind of problem. -

It could be an A/C compressor relay.. Give this video a spin to win? GL Gary -
'20 SEL - Is there a better horn?
garycrist replied to GhostRider's topic in Accessories & Modifications
I would put the Fiaam air horns on. I had the dual airs on my Kawasaki LTD 1000. I do not know how many AMPS the horn circuit will pass so a relay might be needed. Anywhere it is mounted, it WILL BE HEARD! Also those are the same type of horn found on Alphas,Ferrari Fiat. Mount the horns pointing down to keep water out of the trumpets too. As a side note, those horns were too loud for New York. So, we had to install a "City Horn" like the single found on our Edges! -
I hate to tell you it was coincidental. IT IS NOT THEIR FAULT. When was the coolant last checked or a full service done? GL Gary
