    You can get it directly from ForScan's site. The "Independent edition". 

    I can't connect at work but did hear somewhere that the Android version is no longer available - there might be other sites with copies.

  8. Shimmy, shake, jiggle, when >50 mph and accelarating

    in All Wheel Drive (AWD)

    Posted

    Today I got it on four ramps and with the engine running had my wife shuffle the steering wheel while I felt every joint and connection and couldn't find a thing.

     

    I got one of our GoPro cameras from work thinking that I'd mount it and record the shake but couldn't find a location to mount it.

     

    I'm not keen to start throwing parts at it so I'll wait until I get a set of new tires and then take it for alignment, which should be in about 5 to 10K miles (2 to 3 months).

    I have recently tried some D3S LED replacements from AliExpress on my Edge. They are cheap at about $35 for the pair and hence they last about 1 year only. But they are considerably brighter than HID. 

     

    Removing the old bulbs and installing the new one can be done without removing the headlights. I have done it several times now. 

    @omar302 are you a surgeon that performs those intricate keyhole procedures?

     

    With the assy's installed I removed the bulb from the left side then for the right side I shifted the coolant reservoir to out the way but then hit a snag - I couldn't pull the bulb and then disconnect it because its cable was entangled with the few small gauge wires inside the assembly.

     

    On that one I pulled the ballast and rerouted the wire enabling it to be disconnected/connected with the bulb outside the housing.

     

    I looked at the many lower priced options but decided I'd go with something that is more likely to last as long as the original.

    Getting ready for the delivery of the new HID's I started the job.

     

    The only way to do this without damage is to remove the headlamp assemblies - its way too finicky to seat the HID with the headlamp assy's installed in the car.

     

    The tabs rotate about a 1/4 turn counter-clock to release. 

     

    I was concerned that it might be a ballast issue to switched the globes and the orange one moved to the other side - both high and low beam is orange.

    It seems to be just a little worse - at the onset I've tried a lower gear but no change - it can get pretty severe and directly proportional to the torque applied when in the speed range (55 to 65 mph).

     

    If I'm steady at around 60 mph and accelerate the shake will start - can actually see the hood shake left to right.

     

    After noticing the wear on the inboard edge of the two front tires (see below linked thread) I'm suspecting its tie rods, so this weekend I'll get my wife to assist in jostling the steering wheel while I try to asses which tie rod it is (inner, outer, left, right)

     

    I will change both sides but if it's the outer I'll do both outers, unless I find a rubber boot was the root cause I'll rethink the need to do both sides.

     

    Now, I'm leaning towards going with Motorcraft unless someone can recommend anything better.

     

    In about 15K miles I'll be installing new tires and need this resolved by then.

    OBDLink MX+ BT, recommended Bluetooth adapter for Lite versions of FORScan (iOS, Android)

     

    I'm not sure how they arrived at that recommendation, but my OBDLink MX+ BT works flawlessly with Windows FORScan and FORScanLite.

     

    I use the same adapter for my wife's BMW X5 and my BMW K1600.

     

    This adapter has very good reviews on a number of sites.

  25. Fuel Gauge seems to go down quickly after fill up

    in 2017-2018 Edge & MKX

    I've noticed that after filling it right up (could only get 60 litres in it) the fuel gauge seems to go down very quickly.

    The book says the 2017 has a 70L tank but it only took 60L at fill... seems a little weird to me. 

     

    Also, not sure if I need to start another topic on this but the heated and cooled seats in my 2017 are a little different too from my 2012 edge. The heat/cool only seems to be on the very top and sides of the back/top section and the whole bottom of the seat. Is this normal? 

    Did you run it empty before adding the 60L ?

     

    For the heated and cooled seats try a forum search.
