enigma-2

I was trying to think up something humorous about your oil and vacuum story ... but it was too crude to post.

Your edge has a front differential 😳

Yea, 35k miles is too low for plugs. I'd suspect a spark leak through a split coil boot, but ....

Little more info. What kind of headlights do you have, halogen, LED or HID? Each system fails in a different way. Any modifications to the system? Correct bulbs?

I realize this is ancient, but if you are still experiencing the problem, one area to suspect first is the connector that plugs into the light. Check for green fuzzys (corrosion), even a small amount can cause problems.

Do you have Sync Map open and if CarPlay connected? Could be related to your navigation system, school zone or the like. Open the navigation screen and see if its displaying anything when it dings.

Before you fire the parts cannon, I'd have a look at the module connector for green fuzziness or mice mods on the wiring.

Do you use Android Auto or Car Play? Wonder if it may be commanding the audio on.

Its been my experience that either will fit perfectly. I'm only guessing but I would assume the difference could be as small as different suppliers or a small, non important modification. Several sites state that the B version supercedes the A, indicating that when the A runs out, use B. If they were truly different parts, the part number 449 would change.

Check fuse #76 (30a) in the engine fuse box and fuse #10 (5 amp) in the interior fuse box. Both control the liftgate.

Hard to tell by looking at the picture, think its called the roof drip moulding. I had something similar on my 09 MKX. Had the Ford garage replace it. They said that it's glued on and can't remove it without damaging it. Anyway the new came primed and they painted. I required that they use Lincoln OEM only, not Asian look alike. They told me the price and I changed my mind. Part alone was ~$225 range (with shipping.) Lincoln part numbers for my 2009 MKX are 7T4Z7851729CA for left side, 7T4Z7851728CA for right side. Also wanted them to repair a small scratch on my front bumper cover. Small scratch. Think they quoted $1500 and a free tube of Vaseline. (Dupi color was only $20. Close enough.)

This has been seen many times here in the forum. Any possibility you can run the codes? When you open the liftgate, it unlatches and then what happens? Does it make any kind of feeble attempt to raise or is it dead? If dead, my first suspect is your vehicle battery is getting weak and needs replacing. (#1 cause #1). If it tries to open and fails, try lifting the liftgate full open and see if it holds its position. If it doesn't, the pneumatic lift arms are getting weak and need replacing. (The motor lift needs the lift of the pneumatic lift arms to raise it the first 50% of the lift.) Any binding when opening manually? If the Hatch stays full open (or nearly full) the pneumatic lift arms are good and the liftgate module "could" be at fault. You'll need to have the dealer replace it as it needs programming. If the module is failing, it should set a BCM code.

Of you're still having this problem, there's an easy fix. You can control various systems on your vehicle using the information display controls on the steering wheel. Goto "settings", "locks", "remote unlock" and then you can choose between "drivers door only" or " all doors".

Its my understanding that all grades of gasoline have exactly the same heat energy and using premium does nothing to increase hp. On engines designed for premium, using regular will drop hp slightly as they were designed for premium. (Higher compression.) But engines designed for regular wont benefit from premium. (As I understand it, premium may mask the knock sensor signal and cause the engine run too lean.)

Good luck with that. @SEGREY from Ukraine (earlier in this thread) said he tried it & it didn't fit. You got my curiosity up now, let us know if it fits or not.

Wow..! You been busy. I need a beer just to get through reading your post 🙂 Curious. Did you have to pull the intake manifold to change the back 3 plugs? How long did it take? Did you replace the fan assy with Motorcraft or aftermarket?

Battery, yes. 8 to 12 years is normal battery life. I had a sensor fail, would fail and come back to life. On and off for a year or so. Finally failed. When I had it replaced I had all four replaced. Car was 12 years old. Specified Motorcraft senders, dealer was used to supplying chinese and they sometimes fail after a couple of years. He had to check all over the country to find Motorcraft, so few requests for OEM. Finally found four in Louisville. He told me they had around a 20% failure rate, not right away, year or two in use. I replaced all four as I didnt want to get one fixed and turn around and have another one start. But if you only replace this one, its possible you'll get a year or two more out of the rest. Motorcraft will run around 2x to 3x more expense, but then I only use OEM. Dealer likes to use NAPA and that's just cheap junk in my opinion. Hate NAPA.

What's wrong with dropping by your local dealers parts department? He should be able to find the part for you.

Update. Went to VA yesterday for my annual examination. Discussed prescriptions with the VA nurse practioner and she told me that as I now have qualified for disability, all of my prescriptions are now free. Even Jardiance (retail is $650 month) & Ranolazine (retail around $200a month). Couple that with the cost of the policy of $80/month going to $127 next year .... (Plus some of my meds are moving from a less expensive tier to a 15% copay tier for 2025.) But the cost without disability is only $11 / month. So if your a vet and haven't signed up for VA coverage, think about it.

Most likely they are looking for a less expensive replacement. For reference, the original PTU fluid is made by US Lubricants. It's their 300 Waylube, rebanded under the Ford label. These are at the very top of lube products.

Ha! You just wait until they figure out that those sneaky Canadians have been putting in "their" software for dozens of years..! And you been wondering why your navigation screens would pop up with "go north, young fella" every once in a while.

@edjunior You won't have any problems with Medicare. I'm on original Medicare with a Plan F supplement and a Plan D for drugs (although that may change. I'm going in on Monday fir my annual and plan on discussing the move to VA for prescriptions.) I also use my family doctor for all my normal needs and only use civilian hospitals (under Medicare) when I have the need.) @dabangsta You were injured during the Gulf War and are entitled to disability. Tendinitis is good for 10%. (At least thats what I got and mine is really bad - helicopters.) Sleep stuff etc. is hard to claim on, but there may be something, never know. Could be related to your combat experiences. I came back and had a wife and two kids so there was no time to work out my problems. Drank a lot, flashbacks, etc. Did drugs in Nam but haven't touched any after returning. (Haven't touched a rifle or handgun either - smile.) Shit passes slowly. Anyway, for 10% you would get $171 a month and thats tax free. But Biden opened up easy to qualify for things like exposure to burn pits and a bunch of other stuff. Doesn't hurt to talk with your doctor at your next visit.
