  1. Ok, fix it. Kinda scary. Apparently the lights need to be on AUTO for the auto stuff in the Info Center to work. Hmmm. Somewhere in the past few days my lights got switched to ON rather than Auto, and that was the issue. Messed with the High Beams, too. They wouldn't stay engaged. Set the lights to AUTO and it all works. I don't follow the logic behind it. But I'm leaving this here in case someone else has the same issue. The scary bit is I didn't notice before.
  2. This just happened today. Got in my 2015 Edge Titanium after dark and the info center didn't auto dim. I checked the settings and it was on Auto Dim, but didn't. And let me tell you, when it's dark out here that info center light is BRIGHT!! Pulled over and manually changed it to Night Mode, so it works. But will not auto change. Any ideas? Is there an "ambient" sensor somewhere that could be blocked? Or just gone bad? Hate to take in it "IN" just for something like this. I did try a Master Reset, but all that did was lose my Bluetooth connection, and reset the clock to an hour earlier than it really is.
  3. Well, one week later and I don't see any significant change in the maps. Still not seeing streets I'm sure were there 4 years ago. Routes, not any different. So, for the money ............. meh. But, too late now I guess.
  4. 45 minutes or so for my install/update. Was surprised it didn't take the full 60 mins as advertised. Haven't gone anywhere yet to see how updated it really is.
  5. Hey Omar. Thanks for the link. So, local body shop most likely then. Can't have that spreading to rest of the door.
  6. Just noticed this on my 2017 Titanium. How do I stop this? And I got to wonder if my warranty might cover it. 59,500 miles. It's the only real mar on it. Well, there is some road rash, of course. But it's the only place where I feel I may lose paint.
  7. That's the subwoofer in the "Premium" Sony sound package.? 'splains a lot ?
  8. @Jbob0124 Thanks for letting me know. Doubt I'll pull it, then. Pulling sills and side panels, probably best left to someone with more experience (and patience) than I. BTW, what did you find behind there?
  9. I had to do that to the interior hatch panel where it rubbed against the frame. Worked great.
  10. Then that must explain why I still had so much crud in the doors. Darn it! Mud flaps are on the list. But I don't see how that would mitigate the crud getting in the rear doors.
  11. I think my '17 Titanium has those little "mini mud flaps". Wondered what they were for. Interestingly, I just did a wash and dry on the car this morning. Was wiping out the rear door (ton's-o-dirt) thinking they need to do something about the crud getting up inside the door ........ ?. My '07 Mazda CX7 had that issue. Mazda issued a small rubber seal for the bottom of all the doors. Worked like a charm. You'd think with all the tech Ford has ... acquired ... from Mazda and Volvo they could do something more than a mini-flap. Or, maybe I don't know how bad it was before the fix. ... ?
  12. Any clues how to remove this grill? Needs a good cleaning. My plastic furniture pry tools didn't seem to be able to pop it out. In fact, it broke the edges (ha!) off the smaller tool. Suggestions? This is the cargo area. '17 Titanium, Sony Sound.
  13. 2 things to add: Hand Condoms Ibuprofen Recommend both. Done and dusted. And waxed! Did all the door/window trim and the front grill. Really shines. Doesn't show up too much in photos, so no photos. But yeah, worth the effort. Tomorrow, on the other hand, I'm gonna be hurtin'.
  14. '17 Titanium. New to me, less than 6 weeks. Car came "detailed". Guess that means washed and wiped down? ... ? I didn't really expect it to be professionally detailed. Looked pretty good, anyway. Except, there are water spots on all the chrome. Didn't really bother me, until it did. I tried some cleaners I had around, didn't do much to the chrome. Then remembered the Flitz! Got that out, taped off a section, and went at it. Wow!! I really didn't realize how dirty chrome can get and not look like it. You can see in the pic the section I did and how much dirt came out of the chrome. Or is that just the Flitz turning color? Anyway, the section of chrome now shines! And is super smooth. The problem now is how to do the rest of the chrome? I won't have the arm endurance to do that whole car by hand, like I did that small section. Was thinking of getting a Flitz Ball, maybe the 2" and 5". Just wondering if I truly need to tape off all the sections I polish? Can do, if necessary. Anyway, here's a pic of the section and how much crud the rag picked up. And it isn't an exceptionally absorbent rag (meaning some may be left on the chrome). This is what the chrome looks like before hitting it with Flitz.
  15. Welcome. That's quite the story on the Escape. Good deal you were able to get out of it. BTW, if you do start deep diving into FORScan for the Edge, there is a room/thread set up just for that. Have you seen it? Might be kind of you to put any hacks you find there. Just for those (me included) that can't figure it out on our own.
  16. Just to revisit with a band-aid fix. Not completely sure it was the handle. Think it was more of the panel itself rubbing and creating the squeak. After removing and reinstalling the handle, before tightening the screws I slipped a small rubber washer between the door and the panel. Squeak is gone. At least for now. So, maybe the rubber gasket of some sort will be the final fix. When I figure out how to do that and make it look okay. Right now it just has a washer shoved in it. Needs a good, mountable rubber strip on the end of the inside panel.
  17. Good to know. Ordered one for me. And one for the wife's Xploder. Quick stocking stuffer ?
  18. What is this on my mirror? It's on the opposite of the power for the mirror. Appears to be the same style connector. But I can only see 1 pin. Not the best pics, as I just can't get my camera up there to take a straight on pic. Thought it might be a built-in power tap of some sort. ???
  19. Would like see how you did these. I did the under-hood on my older XC60. Would like to see someone's Edge install. I'd also like more light in the cargo area. Did you do that, too?
  20. Still in the honeymoon phase with my Titanium. First pseudo-complaint would be the glove box. Kinda small for how big it is ............ uh. ? The huge door sort of belies how little room is actually in there. My old '15 XC60 had more than twice that much room. And didn't look like it. Other than that, diggin' it pretty much.
  21. Ok, found my smallish, screwdriver like handle. Thanks for the suggestion. They are 7mm. Got the screws out. They hold the back panel on along with the clips. Dropped the panel enough to peek inside. Didn't see anything that should squeak like that. Beginning to think it isn't inside the panel. Seems like the screws aren't long enough to hold the panel on properly. ??? Might try to find some slightly longer ones at a hardware store. Or, just put some foam or whatnot on the edge (ha!) of the rear panel. See if that helps.
  22. Will look at the rear hooks, too. On the rear panel I got as far as the LG handle. No clue what size those screws/bolts are. Or how to get them out. They are UP in there! With a very narrow access hole. Too small of an access hole for my sockets/extensions. So, for now, I'm sorta stumped.
  23. Thanks, Omar. Waiting for it to warm up a bit. Then will tackle the LG panel. No pano roof here, won't have to look there. ? From a cursory trial this morning, I think it's the liftgate handle. Seems loose. Will know more, later.
