I've never done it, so that this as a guess, but I would assume you have to remove the bumper cover before you can access the two nuts that hold them on.

2008 Edge Metal Rattling While Driving
enigma-2 replied to kyle5782's topic in Brakes, Chassis & Suspension
Not that familiar with a 12, on my 09 mkx the bottom tray lifts out to make the second storage compartment deeper, but it also exposes to inside of the console (small stuff could fall in there). Was thinking that there may be something similar on yours. Any possibility that something may have fallen under the rear seat (sound travels). -

What have you done to/with your Edge/MKX today?
enigma-2 replied to WWWPerfA_ZN0W's topic in Accessories & Modifications
https://www.amazon.com/Motorcraft-FS-104-Seat-Filter/dp/B001CA9CN8 When changing, run the seats all the way forward and all the way up (for clearance), service from the back seat floor area. I suggest that before you buy new filters, you pull the existing filters first and check them. They really don't get very dirty and can usually be blown out with a can of air or vacuum cleaner. The filters are about 3" in diameter, around 1"high, round, near the center of the seat. They have to be wiggled off and they tend to stick after being on for so many years. BTW, the new filters are just plastic with holes (no filter material) the prevent anything under the seat from damaging the seat fan motor. -
2008 Edge Metal Rattling While Driving
enigma-2 replied to kyle5782's topic in Brakes, Chassis & Suspension
Have you physically looked under the car? Possibly an exhaust hanger has broken and the pieces are just barely touching. Any possibility that some change or other small stuff have fallen below the center console storage area into the area under the console? -
Should have a diagram of it in the owners manual. Under changing tires. Jack on bottom, then tire, then round plate and screw nut.

2012 Edge Sync issue (radio)
enigma-2 replied to mark.in.tulsa's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
Next time it happens, try a soft reset. Hold down the power button (center volume button) and the right seek button for 5-10 seconds. Display will show that it's rebooting and you can release buttons. If not try a hard reset, remove fuses for 15-20 minutes. Well known problem, no real fix that I've read about other than restarting car. -
Hard shifting after TSS/OSS replacement
enigma-2 replied to Katie Belton's topic in All Wheel Drive (AWD)
Possibly you need to update the software for the Powertrain Control Module and the Transmission Control Module. You should do this before any damage to the transmission occurs. -

I'm looking at the map now. Could not find Rue Du Sulky in Pierrefonds, plugged in Palomino and it shows that it's a suburb of Montreal. When I plug in Rue Du Sulky, only Gatineau comes up for the city. Sorry, it's still not on the latest map.

"Bad throttle body-please connect passenger seatbelt to continue". ??? What on Earth does a seatbelt have to do with a throttle body? The TB feedback goes to the engine computer, the seatbelt to the body computer. What am I missing?

Never used it personally, but it may be worth considering. Here's a commercial website that gives suggestions on how to figure whether you should consider gap protection: http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/gap-insurance-car-do-you-30132.html

Yes, listed as Rue Du Sulky. Comes off Chemin Riverhead in the east, runs up and into Rue Du Jocke in the west. (Looks like a loop. Just outide of an unnamed golfcourse).Map title lists location ad Chemin Rivermead, Gatineau, QC

Went ahead an installed the latest map update. As I'm driving a 2009 MKX, my software is uploaded to the ACU's hard drive. Once loaded (takes over two hours, which is probably why they decided to switch to an SD card), the navigation module reads it in from the hard drive. For the 2009 & 2010 it's now version 9.0 Notwithstanding how the system is designed to read the software, (2007-2098 DVD, 2009-2010 harddrive, 2011- SD card), I assume that the road layouts are identical. Therefore, if anyone was wondering if the latest software has a specific road now in the database, list it and I'll ill try to check for you. (No sense spending $$$ if it still shows you driving through your local pasture).

Sitting in Idle and stalls out and oil pressure light comes on
enigma-2 replied to twmarsh's topic in 2011 Edge & MKX
Lena, I'm guessing that they replaced the relay switch and that problem is fixed. Random vibration is often a tire out of balance. Simple to pull each tire and check the balance. Does this occur at specific speeds or on specific types of roads? -
weatherstripping & rubber seals protectant
enigma-2 replied to Ginger Smith's topic in Exterior & Body
Silicone spray is safe for rubber weatherstripping. But some of the solvents used in the aerosol contain petroleum disulates and will cause the exterior parts of the rubber to react with sunlight (uv). Also, silicone attracts dust and dirt. If you use spray silicone, spray it on a rag first and then wipe it on the weatherstripping. I've read that one way to tell about silicone is to spray some one a Styrofoam cup and see if there's any reaction. Dielectric grease is better, squeeze some between your fingers and wipe a thin film on the rubber. 303 is a better step up from silicone, but costs more. A light film is better than a heavy film. In all cases, clean and dry the weatherstripping before applying the protection. Personally I use Chemical Guys Silk Shine Dressing, has UVA and UVB protection, does not attract dirt or dust. (Same stuff I use on my Weathertech floor mats). -
How old is the battery? (Low voltage can cause weird problems).

SYNC wont read texts anymore. (Samsung S5)
enigma-2 replied to Edgieguy's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
Message notification is muted if you have turned "driving mode" to "on". Try turning off (click on messenger, then setting when app opens, and turn off). Try sending message to yourself while in car. -
1st. Talk with your insurance company, they stand to pay the full amount (total?) of the car without recourse. It would be in their own self interest to hire a lawyer to get the kids car impounded before it's modified beyond the accident damage. 2. Try to get a detective involved, perhapsody by taking pictures of the (at the least) to show that it was involved in your hit-and-run. You may have to file charges against the car driven by persons unknown, squeezing daddy to come clean or lose the car (he's probably still making payments on).

What year? I have an 2009 MKX (same as Edge) that I could go out and measure. If it were me, I would remove the glass so you can see exactly where the components are inside (you could damage the inner parts if not careful). Lots of write up about how to remove the mirror glass, I popped my passenger side off couple of weeks ago. Really simple, push the glass in on the car side, put a flat blade screwdriver between the back of the mirror and the holder and twist. The glass will pop free.

I have an 09 MKX, there are recalls on the gas tank and air bags (certain build dates, locations). Tank takes about 1/2 day to replace. Definitely agree to consider the extended warranty. I've used mine several times and nearly paid for. One failure with transmisdion or PTU and your ahead of the game. Does it have Navigation? If do, is it possible to negotiate the latest version of maps (latest DVD just came out and runs $150). Does it have latest version of Sync? Some upgrades must be installed by dealer and you get charged for install. Other than that, 20" tires ard much more expensive to replace than 18"s. Is the car being sold at dealership and is it certified?

Intermittent overheating 2011 Edge
enigma-2 replied to higuera-tax@hotmail.com's topic in 2011 Edge & MKX
I had a problem (2009 MKX) of not cooling at idle (classic fan problem) and took it to my dealer. They checked the AC system and found it a little low on refrigerant (they told me that it was common to loose a small amount of coolant over the years). They evacuated the system to check for leaks and refilled. Then they changed the fan assy. Covered under the extended warranty but said the total bill would have been between $700-$800. Others have reported problems with aftermarket fan assemblies (not working properly, noisier, vibrations, etc.) You might also consider pricing Motorcraft. Costs more, but your assured of not having any problems.- 25 replies
