  1. air flow check the cabin air filter replacements are often restrictive we wash ours out when i buy new ones to remove some of the restrictions to flow and keep ac in RECIRC, vice normal our 08 had a gold mesh washable filter . wish they had used those in next years of edge
  2. yup we use lexol since forever, all of our vehicles its actually still very pliable and not dried out, we have only had this one since 2018 so it took a bit of cleaning to get her looking great. seat back and seat pan right were you rub getting in is starting to flake the coloring off. she likes this car and refuse to let me get her a new one, so i keep it as close to perfect as possible
  3. thanks its weird even a seat under ten years old is not available. really trying to keep her car looking great. seats are only things starting to crack. still soft but beginning to crack a bit katskins wanted just about 5 k to do all the seats and add cooling. med lt stone yes
  4. we need new seat pan and seat back leather in the 2012 edge ford said its obsolete because its 10 years old sooo if any one would share a vin of a 14 or 15 with sandstone seat colors limited, i can order oem covers vice the pricey katskin route thanks
  5. in between pics of process this is after the deglossing wipe , and then the 3000 and 4000 grit wet sand
  6. I bought a kit for removing the dreaded nasty headlight lense issue we all have had on various cars this is my wifes 2012 edge i have recently polished the plastic with plastic polish, and got allot of the crazing out of the lenses, but still was not happy, even tried alum wheel polish to not avail. still left crazing in the lenses and weird light at night i stumbled upon cerakote https://www.walmart.com/ip/CERAKOTE...e31PI-lA2T2IlzWKu14aAvDXEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds i had read some reviews and figured hey 13 bucks i will give it try it took just over 2hrs to get all the shine off and scratches blended, but i am impressive . just need to see how long it lasts. directions say its fixed forever??/ we shall see prep is everything, i hand polished with the included 3000 and 4000wet sand paper for easily over hr to get the shine off. key is following the directions and cleaning and drying to see if all the shine is off and scrathces are gone, plus it has to be DRY DRY DRY before the ceramic coating is applied behold yes the before pics look good, but the scratches are there are as the crazing yes wear gloves because the stuff on the wipes is eye watering toxic pics below are after i polished them with alum wheel polish and then washed them real good before the start of the restoration
  7. i used forscan to enable the factory DRL set up ,..which is the yellow turn signal lamps ON i wish i knew how to get the lower fascias vertical lights to do this instead
  8. ditto on maint history you can also download it through ford pass. our 2012 was purchased with 50k miles on it in 2019. we bought a FORD ESP warranty / 3/36 i had the coolant flushed and new put in. trans also flushed and new fluid. that was first up . then i had a brake master cylinder thing replaced under customer campaign. as no body could say if it was done or not. we were having loss of brake pressure. then my wife has driven it and we just turned over 80k miles , it has had regular oil changes, two new front struts under ESP FORD warranty, a rear camera under warranty and i just bought another 3/36 ford esp warranty to carry it through 110k miles, it was actually cheap, less than 1200 dollars and 100 deduct. 2 weeks ago i had all brake pads changed, and new rotors on rear and turned the fronts at ford and some caliper things were covered under warranty we think they were original brakes on rear. no record of them being changed at a ford place we have had ZERO mechanical issues, car runs great and gets 21.6 mpg at real texas speeds 75mph or more. doing new cabin sound deadening next week and ordered new front seat skins (katskins) seats are starting to show wear lines my wife loves it, she had a 1st gen when they came out. this one is tri color white limited. i did put new tires on it last feb as we had 24k on the coopers and they were getting harsh with the ride i have two small places on fender from rock chips that need painting, i really need to find 2 replacement chrome pvd wheels, as she wont let me put aftermarket wheels on it. the chrome is peeling in a few places real small next big ticket is replacing spark plugs, been quoted 700 because the intake has to come off to reach the rear plugs, and of course that means all new seals and o rings on the intake and a few new vacuum lines and i figure replace coil packs while its torn down.
  9. yes looking for 2012, not 2021 i used forscan on my 2021 f250 and made a few changes that worked great. i want to turn on DRLS for my wifes edge
  10. thanks and yes i did a search but only yielded one result
  11. anyone have a spreadsheet for the 2012 edge to do forscan updates or changes
  12. tires that are or have not worn evenly. look for one thats a bit off looking from the other 3. and of course air pressure on all four set the same easy stuff first if it has a warranty left, take it in.
  13. odd looking for certain. like a bently front end got crammed onto a volvo then a saab threw up. they should have named it something than mustang estimate 50k units annual production and a small portion were the first edition. bet first edition is 2500 units or less.
  14. what year is the edge? ours is a 2012, i installed a 12v feed from the motorhomes 7 pin trailer connector. it feeds a 15 amp live to the battery. and i also ran a dedicated 12v line to the aux brake device. ours is push button start and you do not have to have nay thing on. just place car in N and plug in the brake device and your umbilical to power the rear lights and turn signals. i used a direct plug and play harness that plugs into the rear lights and you then run the wire back up front to the umbilical connection , mine is made by HOPPY and i sourced all the parts at etrailer.com
