Ford Edge (V-6)

 

The stylish lines of this crossover SUV might catch your eye, but we suggest that you keep on looking. In our testing of the V-6 all-wheel drive version, we found a jittery ride, pronounced road noise, and distracting controls, especially with the complicated and unintuitive MyFord Touch infotainment system. And in our annual survey of subscribers, it had much-worse-than-average reliability. There is also a turbo four-cylinder engine that works well and gets better fuel economy, but it can't be paired with all-wheel drive. For about the same price, better alternatives include the Toyota Highlander, Nissan Murano, and Mazda CX-9

What are the code letters on the OE Motorcraft??

The flasher is load specific,if a lamp is out it flashes rapidly,a led lamp without a resistor is like having a lamp out,they need load resistors for both front and rear to match the lamp loads,Marty

Only use the specified fluid not some generic brand that they put a small bottle of additive to bring it to mfgr specs,How much old fluid is recirculated into your trans lines ,that is left from previous usage?? Marty

Which lamps(Led) did you use and what source did you get them from,TIA Marty

on the 2010 there is a plug for draining the tranny,also a plug to drain the final drive,the tranny takes 5 qts of Motorcraft LV fluid,Marty

The light usually comes on at about 53 miles,Marty

My auto parts supplier looked up the Fram filter number Cf 10547 and his computer crossed the number to Hastings AFC 1345 ,list $ 38. cost $ 14.34 , Not Charcoal activated,Marty

I was in Walmart today the Fram filter was $27.,Marty

Murphy's oil soap works great.leave a nice finish,Marty

2010 edge Limited,I have replace the rear turn signal lamps 3 times and also the sockets the cause is the 3157 lamp with the filaments so close to the base,and the use of the stop lights,Marty

 

A customer of mine has 211 Ford escape hybrid taxis an has the same problem,that's were i got the sockets and lamps.

What is the actual difference between the 2011 limited and sport taillights? thanks Marty

Welcome ,do a search on the topic there were many posts as to the location for the default code,good luck,Marty

Wattage is what the lamp draws in power Volts x amps = watts,the light source the HID produces because of greater lumens per watt generated by an HID lamp,lumens are the output of a lamp ,more lumens,more light,the efficiencies of the HID's produce create more lumens than incandescent,halogen per watt.

Bulb charts will show the different outputs of lamps.HID's are basicaly arc lamps which produce the brightest light ,different gases change the color.

Low pressure sodium lamps produce the most lumens per watt,but have a yellow color,

High pressure sodium has a good light output and excellent lamp life with a bronze color,

metal halide or HID has a lower light output and lesser lamp life,but produces a white light except for gasses to change colors,Marty

Loose connection on resistor wiring,Marty

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone,Marty

The A/C should be running to dehumidify the inside air,Marty

You would need to install a relay triggered by the upper brake light taking power from a 12v source in the rear,using the existing stop light circuits for the amber turn and disconnecting the brake feed to the signal light switch,Marty

Brake System Bleeding

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pressure

 

WARNING: Do not use any fluid other than clean brake fluid meeting manufacturer's specification. Additionally, do not use brake fluid that has been previously drained. Following these instructions will help prevent system contamination, brake component damage and the risk of serious personal injury.

 

WARNING: Carefully read cautionary information on product label. For EMERGENCY MEDICAL INFORMATION seek medical advice. In the USA or Canada on Ford/Motorcraft products call: 1-800-959-3673. For additional information, consult the product Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) if available. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.

 

WARNING: Do not allow the brake master cylinder to run dry during the bleeding operation. Master cylinder may be damaged if operated without fluid, resulting in degraded braking performance. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.

 

NOTICE: Do not spill brake fluid on painted or plastic surfaces or damage to the surface may occur. If brake fluid is spilled onto a painted or plastic surface, immediately wash the surface with water.

 

NOTE: The Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) bleeding procedure must be carried out if the HCU or any components upstream of the HCU are installed new.

 

NOTE: Pressure bleeding the brake system is preferred to manual bleeding.

 

Clean all dirt from the brake master cylinder filler cap and remove the filler cap.

 

Fill the brake master cylinder with clean specified brake fluid.

 

 

 

 

NOTE: Master cylinder pressure bleeder adapter tools are available from various manufacturers of pressure bleeding equipment. Follow the instructions of the equipment manufacturer when installing the adapter.

 

Install the bleeder adapter to the brake master cylinder reservoir and attach the bleeder tank hose to the fitting on the adapter.

 

NOTE: Make sure the bleeder tank contains enough clean, specified brake fluid to complete the bleeding operation.

 

Open the valve on the bleeder tank.

 

Apply 207-345 kPa (30-50 psi) to the brake system.

 

Remove the RH rear bleeder cap and place a box-end wrench on the bleeder screw. Attach a rubber drain tube to the RH rear bleeder screw and submerge the free end of the tube in a container partially filled with clean, specified brake fluid.

 

 

 

 

Loosen the RH rear bleeder screw. Leave open until clear, bubble-free brake fluid flows, then tighten the RH rear bleeder screw and remove the rubber hose.

 

Tighten to specifications. For additional information, refer to Specifications.

Install the bleeder screw cap.

 

Continue bleeding the system, going in order from the LH rear bleeder screw to the RH front bleeder screw ending with the LH front bleeder screw.

Release the bleeder tank pressure and close the bleeder tank valve. Remove the tank hose from the adapter and remove the adapter from the brake fluid reservoir.

Have an assistant pump the brake pedal at least 3 times and then hold firm pressure on the brake pedal.

Loosen the RH rear bleeder screw until a stream of brake fluid comes out. While the assistant maintains pressure on the brake pedal, tighten the RH rear bleeder screw.

 

Repeat until clear, bubble-free fluid comes out.

Refill the brake master cylinder reservoir as necessary.

 

Remove the rubber hose and tighten the bleeder screw to specifications. For additional information, refer to Specifications.

 

Install the bleeder screw cap.

 

Repeat Steps 2 through 5 for the LH rear, RH front and LH front bleeder screws in this order.

 

Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU)

 

NOTE: The HCU bleeding procedure must be carried out if the HCU or any components upstream of the HCU are installed new.

 

NOTE: Pressure bleeding the brake system is preferred to manual bleeding.

 

Follow the Pressure Bleeding or Manual Bleeding procedure steps to bleed the system.

Connect the scan tool and follow the ABS Service Bleed instructions.

Repeat the Pressure Bleeding or Manual Bleeding procedure steps to bleed the system.

I would think that the brake tests start from the point of application,when the brake lights come on to avoid any driver errors or delays,Marty

The factory alarm sets with the oe keyfob,marty

The lights will fit,I am waiting for my order,wiring mods must be done to use the amber turn,and you have to add a socket and lamp for the red stop and tail,the 2011 version uses 2 lamps,Marty

If all else fails use Cerium Oxide to polish glass,marty

You can use the upper brake light for stop circuit and need to separate the signal lite feed at the signal switch so that turn signals don't work as brake lights,remove feed from brake light switch,Marty
