Samurai Edge

It also depends on where JustinH bought his batteries from. If bought over the internet, it's not uncommon for the batteries to be end-of-life already when received. I always buy batteries from local sources and check the expiration date before purchase. Agreed. Something is amiss

II had to change the batteries once in my FOBs. I had to look around to find the correct battery. So, just a question, well, let's make that three questions: 1. Are you sure you purchased the correct battery? 2. Are you sure the battery is making correct contact? 3. Are you sure you put the battery right side up? I have changed batteries before when I wasn't paying enough attention and either put the batteries in backwards or did not seat the battery fully. One more thing: Check the battery contacts for corrosion. You will need to clean that up if it exists.

Parts shopping can always be confusing. Whoever creates the on-line shopping page does not always use correct pictures / diagrams. I see it all the time on all kinds of websites. For the Martin question, see where the part states, and above that it states 2019 - 2024 Ford EDGE Those are the key points

Well, you don't have to be so mean about it 😭 😭 😭 The problem is, if you even bothered to look, which you obviously did not, that OEM ST headlamp assembly can be had for under $800. https://www.fordpartsgiant.com/parts/ford-headlamp-asy_kt4z-13008-ay.html?vin=&make=Ford&model=Edge&year=2020&submodel=&extra1=&extra2=&filter=(r=446;e=414) The remaining $2200 would be the dealership labor charge to remove two ( 2 ) bolts, unplug a couple of wires and then reverse the process to install the new one.

Someone is looking at you like you just got off the boat and they see a big payday coming. Whoever told you this is full of it. It is incredibly simple. Now, the question is, " Are you really talking about just the turn signal bulb? "

If you look up changing the PTU fluid by removing the PTU cooler, it looks like a royal PITA. The same would go for removing the plate where the PTU cooler would go. That's why I opted for going the vacuum route. It was simply, straight forward and very little mess. However, you choose your own method. Have fun.

. . . and then you decided to buy the 2026 F150? 🤔

I typically drain fluids while they are very warm. A 10 minute drive does the trick.

I presume this is a used vehicle and not a brand new vehicle? Haven't had it done but true. Typically all the wiring is already done. When you add " options ", many times there are done at the point of entry. So, if you live in Cali, your new car goes to a Distribution Center. They can add " options " before it leaves the Center. If they can do it there, then it can be done somewhere else.

So, I'm not sure where your rant was going. BTW, Ford does not sell Corvettes

Well, at least you have a drain plug so that helps. It's the fill plug that will get you now. It's a tight spot so you will need a vacuum pump to get the fluid in there. Just a note: If you do a good enough search, you will find a YT video where someone shows how they installed their own PTU drain plug.

So, that's interesting. Depending on the specific wording you use on your search, some results say The 2020 Ford Edge did not have a drain plug in the PTU, and other results say the PTU drain plugs were installed in so=me vehicles starting in 2015. Either way, as you stated, " Specifically - not ONE of these products should have ever rolled off the assembly line without a drain and fill plug on a gear box. " I whole-heartedly agree with. If anyone expects a manufacturer to listen to them about a product improvement, they will hit a brick wall. No one can even suggest their designers screwed up.

That's interesting but I don't think that is an OEM PTU. I think that is a replacement PTU that has had the drain plug installed. I have found them listed by doing a search. Once you check your PTU, it will be interesting to see if you have a drain plug on yours.

The coat hanger is a good idea
