  1. + RainX - wipers = happy motorist --- if you can believe the claims
  2. I hope they will get you into a comparable rental ASAP!
  3. OBD has nothing to do with your AM/FM/receiver setup. If the scanning step cannot be changed on the unit, then either a trip to the dealer is required, or a new unit must be installed. If the VGate iCar3 works as well as their Wifi cousins, that's what I'd go with. Not sure what the price difference is (conversion to US$). On Amazon, I see the price is around $35-$40, seems more economical. Here's a pretty good writeup of what to expect to get from the HSCAN and MSCAN buses: http://www.shoforum.com/index.php?threads/accessing-advanced-ford-pids-with-a-scan-tool.125933/
  4. I hope they covered PTU replacement under warranty, zack? Don't give up on Ford yet. You will find practically every other make/model of major production mfr's have these type of defects once you start looking. I do hope your journey with the Edge is rather "uneventful" after this though.
  5. See this thread: http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/6012-sirius-radio/ Disconnecting the battery will not work. Sometimes it requires a BUNCH of tries to make it work. Does take at least 15 minutes each time of waiting and car power being on to the radio, so leave key in ON (though engine does not need to be running). Remember NOT to be moving the vehicle during these reactivations. Satellite is notorious for not being able to get that initial LOCK, you see the same thing with GPS. The basic SiriusXM activation page: http://www.siriusxm.com/activationhelp
  6. Titanium & Sport appear to have this available in the Driver's Assistance optional package: http://www.ford.com/services/assets/Brochure?make=Ford&model=Edge&year=2015
  7. So a little Peter Pan dust was really what was needed? Wow, Ford tech is even further advanced than we thought!
  8. Avoid the OBDLink MX WiFi version. My experience has NOT been good with that unit. The Bluetooth version however is excellent. Prices are different due to higher sustained data rates with the OBDLink device, as well as ability to look at HSCAN and MSCAN data, which is something few devices can do. Other devices also burn out quickly with use, OBDLink lasts for a while. Difference in quality. So far so good with my experience with the iCar/VGate WiFi device though. Get the latest version (see latest on Amazon). Only thing I don't like about WiFi is that the devices stay on for up to 1/2 hour after the engine is turned off, so if you do use these things, be sure to remove from the OBD port when done.
  9. Hopefully just a blend door issue, Prinzll, not a leaking compressor or something!
  10. If you have an Android device, you can use Torque Pro to read codes in addition to monitoring performance. Torque Pro will use wifi OR bluetooth OBD adapters such as the VGate/iCar (wifi) device or the OBDLink MX (bluetooth). You can get them from Amazon or EBay. OBDLink is free software for the OBDLink devices only, it works with wifi/bluetooth also. If you have an iPad or iPhone or a Windows device, you can download ForScan, which is a tremendous tool for Ford applications. ForScan (windows) is free, ForScan Lite (iPad/iPhone/etc) is $5 I think. And iDevices use wifi ONLY, btw. Windows devices should be able to work with wifi and bluetooth, but cannot confirm at this time. I have used both applications successfully. If you want the doitall and are not worried about pretty GUIs, use ForScan. You will find the process enlightening.
  11. Toothpaste is basically an abrasive, so that's a good idea Or you could try Meguiar's 205 on a good microfiber cloth. But I highly recommend you try this Novus kit http://www.amazon.com/NOVUS-7100-Plastic-Polish-Kit/dp/B002UCYRZU/ that is quite popular for this purpose especially.
  12. BRAND NEW OEM LH REAR DOOR LATCH 2007-2013 FORD EDGE LINCOLN MKX #8T4Z-7826413-Ahttp://www.ebay.com/itm/BRAND-NEW-OEM-LH-REAR-DOOR-LATCH-2007-2013-FORD-EDGE-LINCOLN-MKX-8T4Z-7826413-A-/231419974839 You can always verify with Benny at LevittownFordSuperCenter for pricing & accuracy.
  13. Could be a faulty A/C pressure switch (ACPSW) or ACP transducer sensor.
  14. Does the MKX intake differ from the Edge? Frankly never looked at it.
  15. The general codes can be picked up by an OBD2 reader (such as Bxxxx, Cxxxx, Uxxxx, and Pxxxx); there are some that require Ford's IDS software to retrieve.
  16. Scan for any existing codes, but there may not be any. Check for any fluid leaks. Other than that, you will have to wait for a repeat, unfortunately.
  17. If you are repairing on your own dime, keep all receipts for when it comes time to get reimbursement from Ford.
  18. Did any check engine/service advancetrac lights/etc come on at that time? ODO ERROR message? Sounds like the PCM engaged failsafe mode. It is possible you have one or more bad wheel speed sensors and/or need TSS/OSS sensors for the transmission, depending on what the symptoms are exactly. Very unlikely it is a throttle body issue, since that seems to be a 2011+ problem, but could be.
