  1. I've been a member here a while & have had/have Escapes, Edges, Lincoln Mkx & now a mercury Mariner in the family which have similar systems.

    I recently bought a non running 2010 mercury Mariner with the 2.5L (non-ecoboost) & I've come across strange symptoms.

    No codes showing from my basic code scanner (the battery was dead & had been sitting up almost a year).

    I found 1 ignition key/fob (out of the 2 key/fobs i have) that would not activate the starter (i even replaced the fob batteries), the dash screen will show "No Mykeys programmed" & 2 Admin keys programmed).

    I'm NOT getting a fast flash of the theft light on the dash (did get the fast light with the bad key & likely was in use when the vehicle shut off with the previous owner).

    The engine will run (& stay running) on starting fluid but I'm not getting any rpm input from my foot on the throttle (throttle by wire).

    Without using starting fluid the engine will start & run for like 3 seconds, i can recycle the key a couple times until i hear the pump activate again & it will start/run 3 seconds again & again (seems like PATS is responsible but I'm not getting the fast dash light).

    I don't see a manual access port to check the fuel pressure.

    When I pull 1 of the 3 connectors off the computer & reinstall it i do hear the throttle body operate & possibly sweeping (resetting).

     

    I tried connecting forscan the other day with a "no connection" as the response but that was before I found i had 1 bad key fob so I plan to try it again.

     

    Oh, when I was checking the relays under the hood I noticed 1 of the radiator fans would operate constantly (wasn't sure if its a separate issue or a symptom of the main issue.

     

    Does anyone have any incite?

    Thanks

  2. I have a 2017 edge that ive changed to H9 bulbs but the lighting still sucks & the yellow headlights look terrible next to the stock led lower driving lights.

    Ive been considering trying some HIDs in the Edge but Sylvania are like $140 a piece. wow.

    Ive never used HIDs before due to the bulbs short life reviews.

    What do y'all recommend if I do make the switch???

     

    My neighbor has a 2016-2017 mustang & the projector looks the same & i do believe it comes from the factory with HIDs but I dont know the brand ford is using.

    The mustangs headlights are white & it matches the mustangs stock led lower driving lights.
