Figured it out... connected the battery post without the wire.

Can I get a Homer "D'oh"!

Fusible link perhaps coming off the battery

WOW! We feel really dumb... that's what happens when you drink beer for four hours in the sun whilst working on your car. I was in the back and my pal was up front and we didn't check eachothers work. The terminal was connected to the battery but no cable! Hmmmm... you'd think we'd figure that out sooner. Thanks for all your help guys. We'll try not to be so dumb next time and I'll post the completed sub project pictures next week when we finish it up.

Cheers!

The dumb girl in NorCal... :wacko:

I am thinking also that a fuse was blown when they were installed...ignition...or something. Who installed the amp and sub.

We have made sure the terminals are tight.

We checked all fuses. Both inside and by the battery. All are fine.

There are no lights, no seat moving up into place, doors won't lock, windows won't roll up...

It really bites!

I got my new amp for my new sub all wired up this afternoon. Now the car won't start! I'm not even getting that little click as though the batter were just low. Tried jump starting it to no avail. If you have an idea please let me know soon! I need my Edge! Is there some sort of re-set the battery button or something inside the car? I didn't find anything like that in the manual.

Please send help!

So we're putting in my new amp for my new sub. Got it all wired up to the battery and cables run and all. Now the car won't start! Don't even get that little click as though the batter were just low. Tried jumping it to no avail. If you have an idea please let me know soon! I need my Edge! Is there some sort of re-set the battery button or something inside the car? I didn't find anything like that in the manual.

Please send help!

:hyper:Yes pics would be nice. Also, the mfg, pricing,...etc

Yup - pix and info please!

"i have a new billet allumium logo to replace it. but i dont want to take off the whole interior pannel if i dont have to.

edge22" - did you get it figured out? how does that huge blue emblem come out?

Also, please post a link or picture of the new one you got, I'm looking for something like that.

Thanks!

This happened to me last week. Luckily I was washing the window and didn't get fuel all over me when the hose jumped out. This has never happened to me before. My Explorer did seem to have a different angle/better fit to the opening. I felt like a complete dummy so I'm glad this wasn't just me!

9 speakers in 5 locations: 4 two-way speakers are mounted in the doors, and

an 8" subwoofer

 

9+4+1=14

 

I've listened to the system and for the money you can't go wrong compared with any aftermarket.

And yes, the interior is quiet.

Nope, :stop: 9 total in the Edge. Re-read that sentence you quoted please.

Anyways, as far as the Audiophile system goes I have definitely been disappointed. I traded my '02 Exporer Limited in for the Edge and assumed I would love the sel+ audiophile sound system as much or more in the newer car. No such luck. First off Ford changed the company they get speakers from and the new one's are definitely a step down. I'm sure they saved money by doing so.

As far as tweets in the A-pillars go, I took off the covers to inspect and you won't be able to run them there because of the air bags under the cover. I'm going to build little pods for my new ones to go on the top of the door in front of the defroster vent.

But for now I've got the rear sub panel off and am building a new box. The stock box is made of ABS plastic and has the amp attached to it. With the space I will save by putting the new amp under the second row seat I can build a much bigger/sturdier box and will be able to put a 10" in. Don't get me wrong, you can get plenty of great sound from an 8", just not the way they did it. I'm just going bigger because I can. It is a neat way they built it but it is just way to boomy. It is not the crisp sound I grew to expect from my previous Ford.

Obviously this is all subjective. I'm certain there are many who are totally happy with their system the way it is. Ford knows this and that's why they felt they could cut some corners with cheaper stuff. I'm a professional musician and probably listen to things with different ears than someone who just wants to rock out to Slayer or listen to talk radio; much love.

I've attached a picture of the sub box and the space with it removed. I can update as my project progress'. Please post up if you've already put in a new sub of your own creation!

Love ya and your Edges!

Wondering if it has arrived yet? I am thinking of ordering one. Of course it's more than $75 now...

I am bummed out. I ordered the cargo liner and they sent me the front mats to a Ranger. All I can figure is the person that pulled the box off the shelf must have a pickup with the Edge trim package! Now I have to wait for those to be returned so they can try and send me the proper part. I'll let you know!

Sweet rims. I'm thinking about getting some Enkei's.

Can you tell us how the ride is with bigger wheels... Do you notice any difference in the smoothness of the ride? Also, what brand tires did you go with and how much were they.

Thanks!

I REALLY like what you have done! It looks AWESOME! :beerchug: I think I read that the handling isn't any different... is that right? Does it change how smooth the ride is? Just curious. But awesome job!!!

I'm curious about whether or not it affects the ride as well.

Also, does the kit you bought only allow for that specific amount of drop? Could you go more or would you need to buy a different set?

Thanks!

Where do Ford's all weather mats cover? Is it just driver passenger and rear seat? Or is there a mat for the rear cargo area?

 

Thanks!

The Ford All Weather Mats come in three pieces. Two seperate for the driver and front passenger with one rear mat that is all one big long piece. There is a picture of all three at the bottom of this auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...fromZR40QQfviZ1

Cargo liners are seperate.

Ford makes a carpeted cargo logic system: http://www.partscheap.com/edge07.htm

I have a dog and go to the beach a lot so I wanted a rubber mat for fur and sand collecting purposes.

I just bought a Husky Cargo Liner last Friday. $75 w/Free Shipping and a coupon: http://www.stylinconcepts.com/parts.aspx?p...&brandid=61

I'll post up a pic and a review when it arrives. :yup:

Just to throw another suggestion into the fire... I have the iCarPlay made by Monster. http://www.monstercable.com/productdisplay.asp?pin=3029

Their site shows it at $80 but I found it for $60 at Wally World. It charges as well and has the nice advantage of switching to a trickle charge when it's full. This is great since I do a lot of road trips and my last iPod would get so hot I couldn't touch it. The Plus model that I have also lets you choose any station to tune it to. The lower model has three presets that 'might' work in a big city with lots of stations. Anyways, I think the quality is good, certainly better than the tin-y satelite reception.

:beerchug:

I really love my Sirius. I've turned my whole family on to it and now I'm paying for 4 units a month! Luckily they get cheaper as you add on to your account. It makes a great gift if any of you are looking for ideas. :party: The funniest part is that my Grandma always wants to ride with me so she can listen to it but won't let me install it in her car because she is convinced she won't be able to run it. "But Grandma, you only listen to NASCAR anyways..." :rolleyes:

The all-weather mats for the Edge come only in black and did not look good at all with my camel interior. I took them out after 3 days and purchased a generic set of all weather mats at Wal-Mart that actually blend very well with the colors and design of the interior. If anyone is interested in purchasing the all weather mats for the edge...let me know....perhaps someone with charcoal interior?

Hey Yelnef, you sent me an email and I accidentally deleted it! The new hotmail sux... please write me back again buddy.

Hey Yelnef, I'm interested in buying your all-weather mats. Shoot me a message about what you want for 'em.

Thanks. :shades:

I think this is an ugly color combo but you can get an idea of one version of this kit. Click on this link and peep picture 13: http://www.bdtrims.com/images/expls/index....ory=FRD¤tPic=12

$150 on EBay ($225 on their own site/$270 for real wood/fiber)

http://www.dashtrims.com/dash-kits.php?mod...n=Show+Products

In my research I've found kits that vary from 7 pieces all the way up to 39 pieces. I guess you get what you pay for! I'm asking for the real carbon fiber version for my birthday and I'll definitely post pics when I get it sooner or later.

Cheers

Has anyone tried adding one of these dash kits yet?

http://www.autoanything.com/dash-kits/71A1...px?v_id=2582098

I'm thinking of adding the Black Cheerywood to my Ebony interior. I am wondering if it would look as good as the grey looking wood trim that my Limited Explorer had stock. I've installed a similar style faux wood set in my Dad's Mustang and it looked beautiful.

This brand has some great reviews plus I'm sure you could get it would be cheaper on EBay?

Post some pix if you got 'em!

I recently purchased an Edge SEL+ with Nav, but no Sirius. I have heard that Sirius can be upgraded into the Nav system via a code (from dealer I think). Does anyone know for sure? Is additional hardware involved? Can this be done if I have already installed Mobile-ease?

If your car came wired with it then it's really easy. You just call up Sirius and tell them your SID number on your head unit. If it's not wired already then it's more complicated because you need to have the antenna installed.

Hey jfeaga,

Check this link out. http://www.icarkits.com/advanced_search_re...e=1&sort=4d I had this set up in my Explorer and might go this route with my Edge. It plugs into the back of the stock radio. It was definitely cd quality sound and includes all the cable and instructions to do it yourself. Mine was $150 but you get $20 off if you send them your fm transmitter.

Cheers,

Jill

Hey svoman, can you post a close-up of what the velour fabric is like too? I have a black interior but I'm leaning towards a smoke or grey mat instead of flat black. Is it only costing you shipping to trade out colors with JC Whitney?

Thanks!
