You talk about your, like my friend talks about his; with TLC. (Smile). His doesn't have an automatic control however, he uses a thermometer and manually opens and closes the vents to regulate heat. Is that a feature on the newer grills?

I wired my radar detector to the mirror wiring with a commercial wiring harness. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006074LT8/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 They make them to fit different vehicles and years, to fit specific equipment. Is simple and easy, you just push the harness wires into specific locations the back of the mirrors wI ring connector, and use the two wire ties provided to anchor the harness to the mirror. (With microphone): (+) is pin #1, blue with orange stripe, (-) is pin #10. Wire color is black. Pos is on the accessory delay circuit, fuse #41. When looking a face of connector with release tab down, pin 1 is lower left, pin 10 is upper right. (Reverse of looking at back of connector). Without microphone: (+) is pin #1 (blue with orange stripe, (-) is pin #2 (without lighted sunvisors) or pin #3 (with lighted visors). Connector has 7 wires and is numbered 1-7 starting from left when viewed face on and release tab is on bottom. You can find the correct harness at their website: http://www.mirrortap.com/?gclid=Cj0KEQjwwpm3BRDuh5awn4qJpLwBEiQAATTAQef_byFHwAnKPSE7fz0phXDuO8319hy0IWvpk3PUhBIaAht48P8HAQ Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX use .080" taps for 2007-2009 and .050" for 2010+. If your mounting something other than one of the current detectors, you could either modify an existing harness with a dofferent connector or make your own (not hard, two wires & a connector). You could also contact Mirror Tap and see if they would be willing to make you a special harness (perhaps if you furnished the correct connector). Need to use a stiff wire or solder wires to a pin of the right diameter to be able to push into connector next to existing wires.

Sorry, thought I had posted this on the "lounge". As for the egg, they are great. (Rather expensive however). Always wondered how they compare to a Weber. Have a friend that has dinner parties, makes really delicious gormet pizza on his, using a pizza stone. There's something about charcoal that just tastes better. When he's done, he puts the still hot brickettes in his fire pit and we sit around drinking great Italian wine and solve world problems. Two thumbs up on the egg.

Well this is the Lounge and we can talk about anything off topic, so here goes. Next to my MKZ, my favorite thing is... food. Tonight's supper was chicken breast and stir fry. We marinade our breast's in Weber's Southern Whiskey marinade mix. Oh my that's good. Anyone else care to share a favorite food tip?

Adds mystery. Have you thought about changing the Ford emblem from blue to black? -

Looks like new ones are running about $200 or more. There is an option of repairing the crack, Had a friend who tried one of these kits several years ago, looked really unnoticeable after he finished.

Lol, when I was a teenager, I had one of those long whips on one of my cars. We used cb's to keep in touch with each other. I haven't seen a cb in a car in years, but if I were so inclined, I'd use a portable unit with a magnetic antenna. Because of the frequency, the physical length of the antenna is a reality, and any fixed installation would be unsightly.

2015-2016 Edge Ventshade choice?
enigma-2 replied to Chipster's topic in Accessories & Modifications
Not to make little of these, but what good are they? Are they just for looks, or do they serve a purpose? -
Outstanding video, Mac. I would have never thought about this. Wonder if it would be feasible to seal the gap with silicone or something? I've never had a problem with mine, but still good information.

Been following this thread and thought I would check mine. (2009 MKX, factory hitch). It's a 7 pin connector. The pins are arranged with six semi-circular pins with one large one in the center. Also has a wiring connector located above the brake pedal.

Outside air inlet clogged?
enigma-2 replied to edgemaster's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
On Mt 09 MKX, it's at the top, back of the engine compartment, at the top of the firewall. There is a box (of sorts) and the filter is on the bottom of this "box". Look closely at the back of the engine compartment, starting at point just at the point where the hood starts. If you run your hand on the underside of this box, you will feel a solf, filter type material. If you pry (gently), you will see that this filter part separates easily from the box. -
Outside air inlet clogged?
enigma-2 replied to edgemaster's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
Imo, it would unlikely. An easy way to check, is to switch the system into the recirculate mode. If the air foward improves, look to see if there anything blocking the opening. If it doesn't improve, most likely the blockage is in the heater core area. Addl One other thing came to mind after I posted the above. As Your in Texas, although unlikely, it might be possible that the engine compartment air intake filter is clogged with dirt. If you look at the top, back of the engine compartment, you will notice a long, (2 ft) piece that's made from something like felt or a soft filter material (clipped on the underside). Reach back and run you hand across the surface. It should be clean. If it's dirty, I think I would try blowing pressured sir in reverse, from the cabin filter opening, upward, to try and flow it clean. Suppose you could also pull it down a little and get a pressure sprayer on the back side ad well. -
I originally used the smartcord, switched over to using my cell phone after I started with the mirror tap.

Replaced Steering Wheel and Clock Spring
enigma-2 replied to Clockman07SEL's topic in 2007 Edge & MKX
Removes by pulling the switch towards the rear of the vehicle. After removal, disconnect the electrical connection. Addl note. This is the service manual procedure for the 09,10 years. Assume it's the same for the 07.
