Probably needs a PCM calibration or a TB re-design. Glad you were able to get your situation resolved, John, even if it meant a different vehicle.

Welcome to the community, 15sportTT, congrats on the wife's new ride. It looks great! Hope she likes hitting that happy pedal How about a pic of both of your rides, sidebyside?

Sorry you had to suffer the incident, Red, must have been scary! If it's any consolation, it is a relatively DIY job if cost is a concern.

I'm not the right person to ask, I use any cheapo fluid with the right freeze rating (lower in wintertime) Are you looking for a product to coat your glass? If so, apply the RainX directly. Or get Aquapel (better). Or get by FlyBy30 (best). Maybe a sealant for your paint would protect it from staining, a wax wouldn't cut it for long. Then you could continue to use RainX WWF. Although that seems like the cart leading the horse.

I assume you could open up the right hand fender splash shield and disconnect the hoses to drain the reservoir. There was a howto on replacing the washer pump on YT that should provide a visual aid:

Is it possible the shifter is on its' way out and needs replacement? Or at least the contacts/wiring needs to be examined?

To be honest, IMHO it's risky, more so because you have AWD. If the computer is acting on incorrect data, you can get some harsh shifting, which could lead to costly repairs.

Maybe it finally set a code or codes from the TSS/OSS failure? I'd check those first.

Welcome to the forum, Vadimus, and congrats on the '15 Sport AND your official intro post Hope it gives you & yours many kms of faithful service.

look for spares for the Taurus or police interceptor. not inexpensive, but they are available. sometimes at a discount on the net. 5x108, right? This 20" wheel is $135 on the net: http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/400986623896?item=400986623896 hopefully 18" will be available in same or better price... http://www.nicheroadwheels.com/specs.cfm?id=2250 Part Number Finish Size Bolt Pattern Bore Offset Cap Num Rating (lb) Lug Type M126188033+40 MB -Black Machined 18 x 8 5x108 63.50 40 1003-22MB 1600 CONICAL

Actual badges, not stick-on covers, right? Look great!

Sucks they had to ruin a perfectly good looking exhaust tip, but I suppose if it works, it's a cheap fix ANYONE can do.

Maybe he would have let you take it for an "extended" test drive

Grass fed leather costs ...

The SJB for 2012 is BT4Z-15604-B. About $140 on EBay, don't know of a separate Light Control Module here, though I see listings for them for older vehicles.

I think he is referring to Reloaded.

Welcome Forum, here ya go: http://www.fordedgeforum.com/forum/10-welcome-forum/

The PTU does have a fill plug that can be used for both drain & fill. Not the best way, but it is manageable. Make sure the fill is correct at installation time. Regular fluid service should keep it running well, make sure you get the latest revision (D, I think). There are 2 speculated reasons for early failure: insufficient fill from factory, and/or fluid evaporation under heavy use. Also, the vent is susceptible under high water conditions (as stated in the manual), so you could have the extender kit specified in TSBs installed to prevent that possibility. There are upgraded versions of the PTU in the Taurus Police Interceptor, Taurus SHO w Performance Package, Explorer Police Interceptor etc that include cooling, temp monitoring, and separate drain/fill plugs. Still doesn't solve the problem, though: too little fluid. Yeah, it shoulda been better designed.

Welcome, Cailin, looking forward to your Intro thread

Sounds like a blend door/blend door actuator problem. If not that, then likely the CCM itself could be at fault.

When it comes to bearings, Timken is usually a solid choice for any application. My experience with them is in the Taurus line.

Patience will win over the strike®, hopefully!

Any aftermarket electronics (lighting, audio, alarm system, etc.) or replacement HID bulbs (assuming OEM HID on your Edge; 35W/55W) installed recently? The fact that the new battery (assuming not very old at time of installation) was 9.4V tells you right away that there is a drain on it right away, or it is a bad unit. Connections are good, clean & tight? When you say the passenger side HID is brighter, is it "normal" bright or brighter than "normal"? Any exposure to heavy rains/car washes/high water recently? If everything else checks out: The BCM/SJB is separate from the PCM, and could be fried. It can, and has caused battery drain problems before. Also, if your Edge has the Battery Monitoring System, it needs to be reset to recognize the new battery so it can "smart charge" it properly. Here's a recall for the 2011 Edge BCM: Ford Edge, Lincoln MKX Recalled For Body Control Module February 21, 2011 - Recalls - Tagged: 2011, edge, ford, Lincoln, MKX, Recall Ford is recalling 2011 model Edge and Lincoln MKX crossover vehicles to reinspect body control modules that were the subject of a previous recall.

THESE VEHICLES WERE INSPECTED USING INTEGRATED DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM (IDS) THAT HAD A CUSTOM SOFTWARE ROUTINE TO READ THE SUSPECT BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) SERIAL NUMBER. BASED ON THE SERIAL NUMBER THE BCM WAS EITHER NOT AFFECTED OR REPLACED. THE CUSTOM SOFTWARE ROUTINE WAS NOT READING THE CORRECT SET OF CHARACTERS, AND WAS NOT ABLE TO IDENTIFY A BCM THAT REQUIRED REPLACEMENT AFFECTED BCMS MAY HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR AN INTERNAL SHORT. Consequence: IF AN ELECTRICAL SHORT DEVELOPS, AN OVERHEATING CONDITION MAY OCCUR WHICH COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE FIRE.

Glad they took care of you

A) Bad gas (sulfur) B] Vents behind rear bumper fascia are blocked C) Exhaust leak, more evident during heavy throttle conditions Without the cabin filter in place, the smell might be more easily evident.
