  1. Has anyone experienced this? Driving down the highway, and you roll the rear window down to let the dog hang his head out. There is a severe wind buffet experienced, almost a rhythmic sensation. Gets worse the further down the window is. Any cures?

  2. 2007 Ford Edge, AWD. Headlights have yellowed rather badly, and those so called restoration kits do nothing to clean them up. I even tried using high grit sandpaper and polish to no effect. So, replacements are in order.

     

    Don't want to buy OEM due to cost, and the china crap sold through ebay and such will yellow out as well. Also thinking about upgrading to HID, but being illegal, don't want to go that route unless through a projector. So, any suggestions as to a particular type?

  3. After a Firestone tire rotation the Traction control comes on in a left turn and needs to be recalibrated. No warning lights. It just thinks the tires are slipping. Had this happen one time after a Ford dealer did the rotation and took it back for the reset. Has anyone done this? I am sure it is knowing what button to push. Thanks for your help. I can turn it off but it needs to be set.

     

    Got my attention, I was going to rotate tires tomorrow morning

  4. Hello, we purchased a Ford Edge in February this year, and finding the stock headlights to be weak, I upgraded the low beams to a set of Candlepower.com H9 65w Narva bulbs. I was very satisfied with their performance. I was forced to lower the aim of the lights due to oncoming drivers "flashing" me. Still, they were great..until last night.

     

    I had driven to work in daylight, so the lights did not switch on. The Edge has the daytime running lights, which is a pulsing voltage applied to the headlight low beams that produces a dimmer beam than the standard low beam. When I came out to the Edge to drive home, I had no headlight low beams. Fog lights work, high beams work, no low beams. A check of the two fuses for the low beams shows them to be good.

     

    So today I set about troubleshooting the lights. I found out both H9 bulbs had blown out. It is not noticeable by visual observation, but using a multimeter found both bulbs had opened. Replaced them with the OEM bulbs I had removed, and I have headlights again.

     

    Anyone else have this happen?

  5. Ok, this one is weird. I have noticed since new, that on some occasions I would hit my setting for the memory seat and mirror settings, get in the Edge, and the right or left side mirrors would have to be adjusted. So I readjust them, save the setting, drive several times, and sure enough, I have to reset the mirrors again. 3 trips to the stealer, and they cannot find anything wrong or recreate the problem. This has gone on for 2 years.

    YESTERDAY!! My bride and I walk out to the car, I double click the remote to open her door.....and the right side mirror elevates to the full up position. Wha...??? So I try to recreate the problem...and it won't.

     

    Anyone else having this problem???

  6. The U.S. will be getting the European Fiesta this summer and the Euro (global actually) Focus next January. Ford management finally agreed with you that the Euro models were nice and they're coming over virtually unchanged except for minor details.

     

    Yea, minor details, like no diesel engine....... :censored:

  7. Hi ar&wr. :D You do not mention if you have an Edge or an MKX (difference in Warranty length). There are at least several possibilities: switches, connectors. wiring etc.. Could be a simple switch that costs $20-$30.

     

    If you are still under the New Car Bumper to Bumper Warranty, it will be diagnosed and repaired under Warranty. If not, of course it will be diagnosed and repaired but you will likely have to pay for it.

     

    Let us know the outcome.

     

    Good luck. :beerchug:

     

    I still have 3 months left, sounds like a day trip to the stealer for me.....thanks!

  8. That's an industry term. Anyways, I have the memory Seat and Mirrors set up for me, and memory 2 for the bride. BUT...whenever it's my turn to drive, and I hit the button for me, the seat adjusts just fine, but the mirrors never do. Sometimes I can hit the No. 1 button 3 or 4 times, and the mirrors return to my position, but most of the time I just readjust and reset. Anyone else having this problem? Anything the stealer can do?

  9. I ordered some high and low beam replacement for my 2009 Ford Edge Limited.

    The Narva H9 bulb is supposed to replace the H11 OEM bulb, but the Narva has a top and bottom plastic tab between the metal prongs where the wiring harness connects, and the H11 that I pulled from my Edge does not. My wiring harness will not allow the Narva bulb to plug in. The extra tab on the Narva prevents connection.

    Anyone else experience this? I've sent an email to candlepowerinc.com - awaiting a reply.

    (Note: I'm not talking about the High beam bulb where you have to trim the tab on the bulb itself).

     

    I've attached two images to show differences.

     

    I used a hacksaw blade and made a cut in the OEM plug to accomodate the H9 bulb. No worries....

  10. Congrats!!! Pictures?

     

    Thanks! We'll post pics soon . . . weather here has not been the greatest lately, so we will take some when the sun shines again! I can tell you it is carbon gray metalic and gorgeous!

  11. Just wanted to say hello and introduce ourselves to the forum. We are located in the Tidewater area of Virginia, just got our '07 last Saturday and we love it! Looked at others before making a decision, but kept coming back to the Edge. :D
