They do if you have auto-wipers set to off. If you have auto-wipers set to on they only come on when you get rain on the windshield. In that case the intermittent setting is the sensitivity of the rain sensor. Assuming you have auto-wipers.

Audible Aerodynamic Noise Rattling on Edge Titanium 2017
akirby replied to filippo.ciferri's topic in Owner Impressions
Try removing and reattaching them (the center usually either pops out or in to loosen them) or just replace them. Pretty cheap and easy either way. -
2011 Edge Lmtd.. Rear Caliper Issue?
akirby replied to Wetdream's topic in Brakes, Chassis & Suspension
Most likely the caliper. Did you bleed the lines? Did you crack open the bleeder before you pushed the caliper back in? -
Can't you just select the music and pause it before you start the car?

2012 rear brake not releasing even after all new parts
akirby replied to JesseJulie's topic in Brakes, Chassis & Suspension
That's why I asked. Should be easy and cheap to change it just to be safe. -
I was always partial to Cragar Keystones.

MyKey function gone after battery swap.

Or just holding it at 4K rpm in park or while driving using selectshift would charge much faster than any highway speed. It's the engine RPM not the vehicle speed. -
Summary of available LMS tunes for 2.7? and other questions...
akirby replied to NoDTMF's topic in 2.7L EcoBoost
I have a friend who is a former Ford tranny engineer and he's never mentioned anything about faster/harder shifts being bad other than for driveability for the average driver. It's pretty easy to get good fast shifts but the average driver wouldn't like the feel. -
2012 rear brake not releasing even after all new parts
akirby replied to JesseJulie's topic in Brakes, Chassis & Suspension
Crack the bleed screw and see if the caliper releases. If it does that would point to the ABS or the brake line itself not releasing pressure. If it doesn't release that would point to the caliper being stuck. Did you bleed the brake line? If so, how? Did you replace the soft brake line to the caliper? Any warning lights on the dash? -
To look at it from their point of view, they were working when they gave them to you and I assume there is no warranty, so I'm not sure why they should be responsible for fixing the problem. I don't know if they were trying to rip you off with the 3 key requirement of the service tech just had no clue what they were talking about. I'd say it's 50/50 either way.

MyKey function gone after battery swap.

Make sure the mykey is nowhere near the vehicle when using the admin key. I thought you meant you replaced the battery in the fob itself. You could try disconnecting the battery for 30 minutes to see if it resets the mykey menu. -

Replacing the battery shouldn't change the admin key. Either way the dealer can erase the learned keys and relearn them both as admins then you can set one for mykey if that's what you want. Although you really shouldn't need to go past 80 in the first place. -
Also paintscratch.com - they have kits including the tri-coat paints.

Scuff it, prime it and paint it just like any other part. Or use plasti-dip.

If it's hitting 14.5 that's probably the battery itself.

I wanted the 2.7LEB but we would have had to order it and we didn't want to wait. Plus it's really the wife's vehicle and she drives like a granny. The 3.7L is available on all models and trim levels in the states. i think Canada is different though.

Why do you need to know?

Also remember that the alternator doesn't always put out a constant voltage - the PCM varies it as needed. Get a solar tester and test the CCAs. You can't go by voltage any more.

On the new generation MKX you get a lot more over the Edge than in previous generations. We bought a 2008 Edge because we liked the styling better and couldn't justify the added cost. We were ready to buy a 2016 Edge but bought a 2016 MKX because we actually could justify the added cost. The seats are much more comfortable, it's much quieter, the Revel sound system is much better, embedded modem with mobile app, it had a unique color (luxe metallic) that we liked, the center console is cleaner and the interior materials are nicer. Add to that the longer warranty and the fact that Lincoln picks up the vehicle and leaves a loaner any time we need service (maintenance or warranty work) and we liked the MKX styling just a tad better and for us it was worth the upgrade. Of course that all depends on what you value. Nothing wrong with the Edge.
