  1. I second the use of a kit from MPC. I had one on an Edge and it worked great. Easy to install.
  2. I guess what I am looking for is not the same as most ST owners. While I love the performance of the car, I do get a little tired of the jarring ride on city streets. Especially expansion cracks in older concrete streets. I would like to have the ride be between the current ST and the SEL. We have both 2019 versions. I have still not given up on putting the Lincoln adaptive suspension on my ST. I have it pretty much figured out. I still need to know what frequency the PWM runs at. Other than that, I think I could make it work.
  3. They pop back into place pretty easily. Hopefully you did not break the shutter frame. The frame is pretty wimpy. I used 1/8 x 3/4 aluminum stock to make patches for the support. Drilled holes in the frame and aluminum, tapped the aluminum and used stainless screws to hold it together. Luckily there is room on both sides of the frame to do this.
  4. We had the same issue with my sons car. I forgot what we used, but really cleaning the carpet and any other cloth parts in the interior really helped. There are many videos on how to do this out there. The Ozone treatment helped a lot as well. You will never get rid of it completely. My son reports that he gets a slight smell on damp days.
  5. Strange, joins on Tuesday last week, posts this and then disappears.
  6. Details please. How did it change the way the Edge drove? What model Edge do you own?
  7. This sounds like an interesting project. I wonder how much of a wiring difference there is? Wubster, do you have any links that show the upgrade process from 3 to 4?
  8. Found it. Its the transmission cooler. Interesting that the 2.0 with the towing package does not have the cooler.
  9. While working on my broken CCM module I saw that the AC condenser has four connections on it and that the condenser has two separate sections. The top sections is only about 4 inches tall. I did not trace the hoses at the time I had it apart. On our ST the upper sections has hoses attached. On our 2019 SEL 2.0 has the same condenser. However the upper part is not used. The two hose barbs are not connected to anything. Does anyone have any idea what this extra cooling circuit does?
  10. You can use Forscan to confirm that the sensor is not damaged. You can run a full diagnostic on it. I did not have to re-calibrate mine. Be ready for damage to the shutter system as well. You can check for error codes with Forscan and do a visual check before you take things apart. Hopefully you can get the bolts out without breaking them. I drilled new holes in the mount and tapped them. Get some cobalt bits. The steel was surprising hard.
  11. What a pain to fix. The bird strike broke the frame for the shutters and also broke the lower yoke that controls the shutter angle. The yoke is not available as a separate part. Ford wants over $500 for the assembly. I was able to fix the parts by adding an aluminum braces. I hope they hold up long term. Both bolts that hold the CCM bracket broke when I tried to remove them. I was able to drill new holes in the bracket and the mounting point. I found out that my grill shutters where staying open all the time. It turns out that the radiator brackets were put in wrong and it prevented the shutters from moving. I don't know if it came from the factory this way, or someone worked on it before I bought it. So far everything is working with no error codes.
  12. Well I hate to admit it, but I was wrong on this one. I did find a way to break the bracket and not leave a mark on the lower grill. I hit a medium size bird, one to two pounds. It was running across the road and jumped right before I hit it. It hit the lower grill dead center. The bracket is definitely broken. Hopefully the CCM itself is fine. I will check it with Forscan later today and see if it is still there. I will probably buy a new bracket instead of trying to repair the broken one. I'll have to take the bumper off for sure.
  13. Update: I got a new left steering wheel switch. SW-8186 (HG9Z-9C888-BB). This does not have lane centering. It is similar to the switch on the 2018 Edge with ACC and no lane centering. Once installed, I had to play around in SCCM with forescan. Option number 25 worked under the steering wheel left side switch. I know have ACC working, the switch allows me to change the distance setting. No error codes. The only limitation is no Stop and Go. Which I never use anyway.
  14. The buttons are not individual on/off switches. Instead they are in a resistor ladder. The steering wheel control module reads the resistance on of the circuit and decides which button has been pushed. The problem you describe is probably due to a bad connection in the wiring between the switch block and the control module. Or it could be a bad control module. The fact that the behavior changed when you replaced the switch makes me think the the wiring within the steering wheel itself is bad.
