i assume you saw omar302's post on the topic of bigger battery already?

check physical size info for this specific battery vs the one found to fit in the info you found. best way to do it.

oh no! hope it is not a water pump leak. noticeable leaks usually are from above the alternator area (passenger side of engine). if the leak is on drivers side, check the LOWER thermostat housing. these rot away on occasion. i would pressure test the system for at least 30 minutes. if it comes out from above the alternator, you are in for a water pump/timing job. you can use universal antifreezes like Peak 10X or Prestone 300K coolants, since you will be flushing the engine anyway. if you REALLY want to stay Motorcraft, go with the Yellow, as it is supposed to be backwards compatible all the way to GOLD (2007 MY).

now you can offer whole house duct cleaning services!

very nice

this time of year, it is common for pests (rodents) to make a home anywhere and everywhere in the engine bay and even extending to the cabin area. also, parking near / under trees for extended periods of time can do it. OR the cabin filter/screen is simply missing.

good info, nice writeup.

Welcome, nice ride now get to learning about keeping that pano working right

worst thing is losing confidence in your ride. sorry to see the edge go, wish the best with your Sorrento.

you will at least need to verify the coils are in good working order, and even then, move them to the front so if they do go, its easy to replace. best plan is to buy the motorcraft coil kit from any online ford dealer and keep the old coils as a backup. BA5Z-12259-A. not listed openly, you have to search for it. swagperformance on ebay is another option. the PCM can be repaired by circuitboardmedics.com , see their website for pricing/shipping/etc.

all gen 2+ have drain plugs on the PTU. they might be well concealed by the downpipe, but they are there.

that cover is mouse fodder anyway lol

Go Edge! LOL

an upholstery shop might be able to do it significantly cheaper. i assume you are referring to the TED or thermoelectric device https://parts.levittownfordparts.com/v-2012-ford-edge--limited--3-5l-v6-gas/body--front-seat-components Seat Cushion Thermo-Electric Device Removal and Installation NOTE: The air bag warning indicator illuminates when the correct Restraints Control Module (RCM) fuse is removed and the ignition is ON.

hopefully the body shop will do a 100% restoration and won't take too long. probably asking too much lol, but ...

arbitration will have more positive results than lawsuits, going by past history. you should find a law firm that is doing arbitration with ford, if you cannot get assistance by applying to them directly.

Yeah, the EBC OrangeStuff (or heavy duty/SUV pads) does work well, but it will eat the "cheaper" rotors from even Wagner/Raybestos alive. ask me how i know, lol.

rumble/grind is never good - almost always a failing differential involved. a thud CAN be due to the programming needing to be updated.

seems like the radio needs to be replaced. if it has a cd player, the player can fail, start skipping, and drain the battery, just like a faulty door latch or even the shift switch. the battery saver system may or may not pick up the issue.

when its a temperature problem, and the reset fails to work, the options are to a) have ford recalibrate it for you, or b ) replace the offending actuator no air blowing at all is a different issue. it could be the front controls interface module (FCIM), blower motor failure, or resistor failure (usually just defaults to high speed, but ...). the HVAC module itself is rarely the issue. fuse definitely worth a check.

@igna Engine Identification For quick identification, refer to the safety certification decal. The decal is located on the LH front door lock face panel. Engine Code Information Label The engine code information label, located on the front side of the valve cover, contains the following: Item Description 1 Engine part number 2 Engine plant (Cleveland) 3 Engine displacement 4 Engine configuration 5 Twin independent Variable Camshaft Timing (VCT) 6 Bar code 7 Bar code 8 Running number 9 Engine build date (DDMMYY) 10 Plant shift line 11 Derivative code

this is the only transmission related bulletin i can find that might possibly apply for your vehicle https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ska26YITryYl1aUdEGh7cswf74xLeg_h/view?usp=sharing i hope it is not this, as it is a serious matter, requiring transmission disassembly. could be the pump also. check the fluid to make sure it is pinkish red, at the right level, and clean. maybe just low fluid ...

should at least see if the 850 cca 65 battery is available. heat kills batteries faster. also put it on a charger/tender regularly, which one depends on how much/what kind of driving you do. AGM batteries should not need to be topped up (as much), but there IS a difference between those that use recycled lead and those that use virgin lead.

What brands are available to you? Odyssey, Northstar, ... maybe ...?
