enigma-2

I ran mine down to 0 once, still have gas left. The count down is an average and even when it reads zero there's still gas left.

Thanks for posting this. Was in 1St MAW at Phi Bai (Hue City nearby), tad to Chu Lie for a few weeks doing air sea rescue and spent mote of my time in country at Marble Mountain. Flew as a "door" gunner on the CH-46 and got to see most all of I-Corps (as well as a quiet visit into Laos.) Lonnnng time ago, but still remember it like yesterday. Thanks for your post, Semper Fi.

For those who were in Nam, Iraq or Afghanistan, welcome home. And for all, thank you for your service, your years away from home and your difficulties. America is worth the sacriface. Always, no matter how small or unimportant it may seem. Semper Fi. Ans don't forget to go out and get a free lunch today, I'm just walking out the door for mine. Chicken dinner at local grocery store. Tow pieces of chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, veggies, cake and free drink. Makes me want to continue shopping there. Ps Just seen Chipster post, didn't mean to jump over, didn't read the latest before posting. Thanks for posting this chipster!

Set of new tires on my 2009 MKX. Bridgestone's Dueler's H/L Ecopia's, 245x50r20. Local Ford dealer agreed to match Tirerack.Com AND $140 rebate! (The price match saved me over $300 right there!) The rebate will come in the form of two debit cards of $70 each. Plus had a four-wheel alignment. Front toe-end was way off, good thing I decided to have done. Also had them wire brush the mating surface of the rims to prevent air leaks. Free car wash (all Lincoln's get free wash with every service) and on my way.

Love those Cobera's. First time I saw one was back in 68 when a pair came flying over MCAF Santa Ana, "upside down". Bout $&/! my pants. Pair of them saved our butts in the Ashaw Valley one day. Never flew on the Osprey, after my time, but 53's were the king back then. I serviced and flew CH-46's as air crew and gunner. What was the Osprey like? How loud inside?

I agree for most of the current tenders I've seen, the jury is out on this system. As I stated, it only protects galvanized sheet metal parts, so seeing corrosion on bare steel parts is no surprise. For a car in a heavy salt slurry area, I yet to see any rust on the belly or anywhere else. So for now I'm still thinking that it might be doing something. The principal of operation is patented. The man that discovered it noticed an old galvanized steel storage tank completely untouched fy rust (while others in the area were.) Being an engineer, he investigated and found the one which was not rusted was being protected by a local radio tower which was inducing currents in the steel. He found that when galvanizing finally breaks down, the zinc will naturally sacrifice itself and slow down the corrosion process. However moisture in the air reacts with the zinc and cause zinc to form zinc oxide. Zinc oxide tends to block zinc from forming across the break and will allow corrosion to form on the unprotected steel. The module generated a pulse to create a radio frequency current in the metal which is supposed to neutralize the oxide from forming. So far (seven years) I'm pleased with the result; but time will tell.

My 2009 MKX still has no body rust, dispite having been registered in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana since new. The roads here in Northern Indiana are particularly bad for rusting in winter months as they switched to a salt slurry a few years ago to start the melting process faster. Eats cars alive however. I use an electronic rust control module, the one that pulses high frequency radio waves. Been on since new. First owner installed when the MKX was new and then took it with him when he bought a new MKX. When I bought it used, I had the same model module put on. Seems to be working as there's no rust on any body panel (including underbelly.) As I understand it, the module only works to prevent rust on galvanized parts. (Comes with a warranty against surface rust and rust through.)

Possibly your touching both the lock and unlock surfaces at the same time (hence the no-unlock action). Know I don't have one of those new-fangled door knobs, but I do know you have to be careful how you touch the handle.

I've often found that you usually have to jump up to a larger socket size in order to get them to break free. Of course if they set for too long, they tend to seize up and no amount of force will get them to cooperate. (The younger fellows in the forum won't get this).

Just replaced my wipers on both cars with Trico Flex. (Top quality wipers). The 26" wiper jumped and chattered when returning from the full up position. Closer examination showed the blade flexed in one direction but not the other. I emailed Tryco about this and they promptly sent me a new blade (which worked perfectly). I've always had good blades with Tryco and feel it's an excellent company to deal with.

Try replacing fuse #12 with a known (new) good fuse. (Fuse 12 controls back lighting, some interior lighting & pudfle lamps). If this doesn't fix it, there appear to be two other possibles, one is the SJB failure and the second is the common junction where the power splits off to each of the various lights. (The common point is under the instrument cluster, exactly where you will need to trace it out). To isolate if it's the SJB you could cut the circuit wire coming off the SJB and slice it into a circuit of known good power. If the lights start working, the SJB is at fault. If not, it's the wiring from the SJB to the (and including) the common junction point. Try replacing the fuse as a start. (Just looking at it may not show a hairline crack in the fuseable link).

Try putting the headrest all the way up. If she's short, her head will not hit it (unless she puts it all the way back) and if she's tall, her head will hit the headrest down lower (will not push her head forward as far). My wife couldn't stand the headrest in mtmy MKX, so I turned hers around. Assuming it's the same as mine (2009 MKX), one side has an adjustment release and the other side has small hole where you insert a small tool (I use a scribe) to release the locking pin. Once released, the headrest will pull all the way off. If you can't find a small tool to push in the small hole, you can pry out the insert next to the hole and use a small regular screwdriver.

Well, there's a fix for that (heh, heh, heh) http://m.ebay.com/itm/Bores-731-511-Bumper-Guides-various-models-LED-pair-/400921110257?hash=item5d58c2a6f1%3Ag%3AOPMAAOSwNSxVV6Sb&_trkparms=pageci%253A70a4af3d-9fb0-11e6-9b2c-74dbd180f6a8%257Cparentrq%253A1ca14f151580a6a5e9bd8717fffc180d%257Ciid%253A1

What phone do you have?Here's a website that details which phones and carrier's will work with Sync 3. https://owner.ford.com/how-tos/sync-technology/all/phone/phones-compatible-with-sync.html#?year=2016&model=Edge&syncGen=sync3&country=us

I had asked at my local dealer and the service desk told me they couldn't do it. I then asked if they would ask the actual mechanic. They called him up to the service desk and he said, sure, I can do that. Told me that he would have to charge me around $40 for the fluid as Ford retails this stuff for an outrageous price, and I said that was fine. They added to flush to the work order and think it was around $80 for the flush. Service desk can only quote what it tells them in the computer (and there is no procedure for the previous Edge's and MKX's). Try asking.

Personally I question if the goop is all that harmful. After all the ptu has been running in the stuff for x miles. More likely it's the lack of fluid lubricating the gears and bearings that probably causes the failures. I agree with suck out what you can and refill with fresh fluid. I do think doing this annually is overkill however (so long as the seal isn't leaking).

Lean over.

If this is a natonal chain, would you share the name?

When I read this, the spare tire comes to mind. Setting back there in its little tire bed, sleeping peacefully, tooting a little puff of air every now and then, patiently waiting until that "Red-Nosed Reindeer" moment when it's called on to save us from being stranded. Does 'anyone' ever change a perfectly good spare just because it's 6 or 7 years old? Isn't that the very definition of "age discrimination"? Get me my lawyer.

I could easily see the suv, it was his brake lights that were nearly invisible. Besides being a safer issue I wonder if it wouldn't be a legal issue. FMVSS has mininum brightness requirement. His was well under. (He was running really cheesy rims as well).

Dusk. Should have been easy to see the lamps.

I was driving behind a SUV today (don't remember the brand) and nearly rear-ended the guy. He had put dark tint over his stop/turn lamps and I never seen his lights until I was about 5-10 ft away. Barely visable.

I need to get a module and Forescan and play a bit. Sounds interesting. I had to have my drl turned on at the dealer, think it's a little safer driving that way. If your open to recommdations, consider a set of Weathertech floor mats and cargo mat. A little expensive but top quality and the do an excellent job of protecting the carpeting through the winter slush (if your in an area where there's snow and rain).

Another YouTube video with a different fix.
