    I believe that you have to put a drop of dry vermouth on you finger and rub it on the rim to technically call it a "martini" The more olives the better, imo.

    excpppppt it also has vodka and "sweet" vermouth. Sort of a combo of a gin martini and a vodka martini. Btw, I use my Lincoln branded coffee travel mug to do the "shaken and not sturred" gig. Makes it taste much better. lol.
  3. Here's a link on someone did it. http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/14629-front-emblem-removal-with-pics/?fromsearch=1 As for the light kit, I have it on my MKX. It shines different colored light in several places, cup holders, footwells, etc. My feeling is I could live without it. It's called "mood lighting" on the MKX. That said, I do like having the lighted cup holders aspect of it. If I remember correctly, some here made their own lighting setup. You could do a search here in this forum for this.
  4. Hi Ben. I've got an 09 MKX and have never head gas sloshing on mine. (Mostly drive with the windows up and that might make a difference). The gas tank was just replaced under recall couple of weeks ago and checked it after my inspection today. The tank is 1/4 full and no sloshing that I can hear. (It's an AWD tank). Is there a difference the Edge and MKX? (Wouldn't think so).

    Dirty Martian

    Sitting on the varanda drinking a new drink I invented. Call it a Dirty Martian. Two jiggers of London Dry Gin, 3/4 jigger of Russian Vodka, 1/2 jigger of Martini & Rossi Sweet Vermouth and one jigger of olive juice. Comfortably numb.
  6. Its most likely the fuel tank that you hear sloshing, but... do you have the bamr? Wondering if one of the drains got plugged and letting water accumulate in the channel. It's also been reported that the firewall drains have plugged and water had accumulated. (This was on a different model, don't really know it the Edge has these, but something to think about).
  7. Are your key FOBs OEM or aftermarket? Some of the Chinese junk FOBs are known to not be reliable.
  8. Reported here last year. http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/18344-sloshing/
  9. No deflector that I know of. Have you considered using a glass coating to minimize the ability of dirt to cling to the glass?
  10. Did you not like the solution in the above post. Set the bit and you have full control as to when the dome lights are on or not.
  11. So push the media button on your steering wheel, say "climate" and "increase fan" or whatever the commands are in the 2016. No need to take your eyes off the road. So simple, an IT professional can do it. .
  12. Someone posted in one of the forums I follow (could be this one, don't remember) that they traced the battery drain to the shifter not triggering in park. Left the car thinking that it was still in drive or neutral and allowed one of the accessories to continue to function, draining the battery. All of the other problems can be traced to a weak battety.
  13. Got to ask Nate, if just wiggling wires makes the fans work, doesn't that seem like there's a real problem in there somewhere? I mean, a loose connection could cause excessive heating and (possibly) a fire. Think I'd be looking a little closer at the wiring connector and make certain that it's rock solid tight. No high load connection should be determined on the basis if wiggling. Just saying...
  14. Ahhhh no. No good. We want to see a sexy 2012 Edge parked on Pikes Peak. No Edge tease's allowed. lol
  15. Ask if the title is marked as a factory buy back. If so, you will want to make certain that all necessary repairs have been made.
  16. It's simple. If you get out, shut it off & lock your car. If your just getting gas, shut it off. No one can drive off if they can't start it. No different than a car with a key. The accessory mode is different, but like others habe said, it's not needed. Just get in the habit of pressing on the brake when you press the start button.
  17. I have an older model without the push-button starting, but I thought the passive key had to be inside the car before it would start? As for standing outside the car while it's still running, page 47, "Note: Make sure to lock your vehicle before leaving it unattended." Really wouldn't be any different if someone got out of a car using a key, left it running and someone else slipped in and drove off. Back here where winters are cold, it's not unusual for people to fill up with gas, leave their car running whIle they go in to pay and come back out to find their car gone. Some car thief's hang out near stations just for an easy score. .
  18. Rattle soulds have a way of coming from one place and traveling to a different part of the car. I would start by looking under the car at the catolitic converter heat shield or a metal bracket supporting a body panel (esp the panel under the passenger door). As it's "speed sensitive" I would expect you find the metallic part nearly tight, but just loose enough to generate sold due to buffeting. For a bracket, remove the plastic fastener, slightly bend the bracket and reinstall the fastener. This will put extra tension on the parts and make the assy tighter. For a heat shield, sometimes the thin mounting tabs break and allow the shield the vibrate under specific loading conditions. Sometimes a high heat adhesive can be used to secure the shield to prevent rattling. .
  19. I have 20's on my MKX. They are rougher and a little louder, but not so much as to make a big difference. Lot better looking, the difference is minor imo.
  20. There are several based on equipment. You can look it up here: http://www.fordparts.com/Commerce/CatalogResults.aspx?y=2013&m=Ford&mo=Edge#Search
  21. I believe it's 3,500 lbs for a 3.5 with factory tow pgk (also includes upgraded cooling and suspension, gearing differences, maybe larger brakes as well, don't remember what all was changed). Without factory tow pkg, I believe it's 2,000 lbs. (Table on page 249). I believe that would include the 1,400 lbs for the boat + the weight of the trailer. If you have a grade-assist butyon on the side of the shifter, pressing it will automatically turn off overdrive. .
  22. Here's one place to look up state lemon law information. http://www.dmv.org/automotive-law/lemon-law.php
  23. If only the glass is broken, you can buy a new, OEM glass with heated, and spot mirror for $123. http://m.ebay.com/itm/Ford-Edge-Lincoln-MKX-Right-Passenger-Side-View-Mirror-Glass-w-Heat-Memory-OEM-/321919688352?nav=SEARCH (Just plain glass will run under $20). If the whole mirror needs changing, you should be able to find a used one on Ebay for $170 or so. http://m.ebay.com/itm/2009-2010-2011-09-10-11-Ford-Edge-Passenger-RH-Power-Heated-Mirror-OEM-D0137-/331702671189?nav=SEARCH
  24. Once you're in Sirius mode, you can change the band by voicing the command: "Sat 1","Sat 2" or "Sat 3". You can also switch bands and select a specific button by saying "Sat 2 preset 2" (for example). The would switch to Sirius band 2, and whatever is stored on preset button #2.
