protecting glossy center console
enigma-2 replied to DRbillZ's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
Did you by chance read this thread? http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/12517-ford-edge-center-console-plastic-piece-cover/ There are also cover kits available: http://www.carid.com/2014-ford-edge-dash-kits/ -
Yea, stopping on ice in a MKX can be a real exciting moment. Couple of winter's ago, I thought I'd need a defibrillator to get me going afterwards. lol

On my 09, I press anywhere on the map display, and get 5 soft buttons. Then press on "POI Icons on/off" to turn on the 3 POI buttons I have selected. (Gas stations is one of the three I usually have selected).

Try one of these: http://m.yp.com/philadelphia-pa/non-ethanol-gas-stations

chirping sound outside when I take off from a stop
enigma-2 replied to timesaver's topic in Brakes, Chassis & Suspension
Sounds like it's part od the chassis/suspension system. At a stop, the car stops with the nose dipping. Starting up, the nose lifts and the suspension shifts. I would begin by looking at the torsion bars, front struts, etc. Try bouncing the front end (while parked) to see if you can recreate the squeek. Could be as simple as a bushing getting hard and needing a little lubrication.- 15 replies

I would agree with akirby, it probably doesn't exist on to 2014. If so, about the only thing I could think of, is to put on shocks with a shorter length, -or- possibly some sort of restraint, strap, chain or whatever, cinnected between the top strut connection and the bottom connection points.

2015+ common area - a place to say anything (feel free to pin)
enigma-2 replied to 037's topic in 2015 Edge & MKX
Most likely it's from a clogged evaporation core drain. This allows mildew and mold to grow and produce a foul selling odor to be present in the air stream. Easiest way to fix is to buy some Lubegard and squirting it up into the hearer/AC drain. It will foam and fill all the nooks and crannies of the cores, kill all the nasty stuff and then turn to a liquid and drain out. http://www.amazon.com/Lubegard-96030-Evaporator-Heater-Cleaner/dp/B0007PHD0S Here's a YouTube video on how to do it: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Bi22mdXj3wM -

No-Drill Front Plate Bracket?
enigma-2 replied to BringthePayne's topic in 2015+ Edge & MKX Generation II
WWWPerfA_ZN0W already suggested this same bracket (or one just like it) in an earlier response. Interesting but very expensive, subject to road damage, still requires drilling holes and running a 12 volt circuit under the car. Thread starter wanted to mount the plate without drilling. If it were me, I would just drill the holes. More reliable and the plate would be needed by the next owner anyway. -
Squeaky Wipers
enigma-2 replied to Brucifer's topic in Glass, Lenses, Lighting, Mirrors, Sunroof (BAMR), Wipers
Probably more likely a dry joint where the shaft comes through the cowling (hinge barely moves when in use). You might try using penetrating oil on the shaft. -
Make certain your phone does not have your caller ID blocked and that this phone is the one registered with your account.

To set the 2014 liftgate opening height, press the button and allow the Liftgate to fully open. Then manually move the Liftgate to the opening height you want, then push and hold the Liftgate button until you hear a chime. The new opening height is set. Info came off a how-to video on the Ford site: https://owner.ford.com/content/ford-dot-com/en/how-tos/vehicle-features/liftgate-and-trunk/power-liftgate-release.html

Look in your owner's manual index (at the back) under "Setting the Liftgate Open Height".

No-Drill Front Plate Bracket?
enigma-2 replied to BringthePayne's topic in 2015+ Edge & MKX Generation II
I would imagine g you would need to use the heavy duty ties, the ones that are 5/16" wide and rather thick, for this. -
Squeaky Wipers
enigma-2 replied to Brucifer's topic in Glass, Lenses, Lighting, Mirrors, Sunroof (BAMR), Wipers
I find that it's nothing more that a film on the windshield and oxidized blades. Windshields tend to accumulate and oil film from the road, and the film attracts dirt to stick to it. The blades have to streak across this film. Cleaning the windshield will help. Vinegar is good for this, cheap too. Blades, being rubber exposed to the road grime, salt and sunlight tend to develop an oxidation, making them lose some of theur flexibility. I wipe mine with a eyeglass cleaner wipe. Same wipe you use for your sunglasses. Clean your sunglasses then clean your blades. The alcohol will remove the oxidation film. This should stop any squeeking. -
Pufffff, if mine starts whistling, I'm taken it in, no matter what the owner's manual says.

And then the cop looks at the the front bumper and doesn't seem any mounting holes .... -
Noticed while I was at Lowes this last weekend, the had a spray chrome paint. Forget the brand, but back with the spray paints. Had several different varieties in fact. If you were able to mask off exposing just the scratch, could possibly spray and cover good enough to pass. As an alternative, you could spray some paint on a tiny paint brush and paint over the scratch. (Very carefully). Thinking of those paint brushes sold to paint model airplanes.

Broken part inside the cat converter or muffler?

Hi Tevesh. I have a 2009 MKX and as Ol Blue Eyes used to say, "that was a very good year". Great car, great year, one of the best. I have my tires rotated at every oil change and the seem to have worn equally all around. I don't put a lot of miles on, so I rotate every six months. Not too many changes to the car, changed the exterior mirrors to add the small blind spot mirror glass, Weathertech floor and cargo liners, LED lights in the front oh console, radar detector harness at the interior mirror, turned on the DRL, Silverstar headlight bulbs (both low & high beams), two cargo nets (grocery shopping). Still working on adding a backup camera into the car's nav screen on the APIM. (Have the camera, harness and nav unit connector, just haven't taken the time to do the install). Great to have you here.

Mostly Willie's Roadhouse. Some 50's on 5, 60's on 6, SPA or one of the other sappy channels when I want only background music & CNN. When I switch over to live TV it's usually for CNN or AMC. Occasionally Amazon Prime Video for a movie.

Open the door and a laser LED projects the Ford Logo onto the ground below the car. http://www.amazon.com/Ghost-Projector-Shadow-Puddle-Lights/dp/B00HX4VQGS?ie=UTF8&redirect=true&ref_=pe_2313400_190813290_em_ti Personally I'm holding out for a type of laser Batman signal that projects the Lincoln logo and name onto the clouds when I open my car door. lol.

Key FOB AND manual key won't work
enigma-2 replied to brahmabull's topic in Alarms, Keyless Entry, Locks & Remote Start
Why don't you try the second key and see if it can lock/unlock the door? (Just to isolate whether it's the key or the lock). -
Smaller rims would help. (Wouldn't look as cool however).
