Comprehensive List of Possible Forscan Mods?
enigma-2 replied to ben senise's topic in Accessories & Modifications
In all honesty, what good is it? 09 — Car starts, all good. Doesn't, need a jump. Need a jump, check and/or replace battery. (Actually it probably just needs water. These maintenance free battery's still need to have water added.) Want to disable start/stop, disconnect the battery condition connector at the battery. Don't really need half the junk the slap on these cars anyway. -
There are 7 recalls on the 2017 Edge. https://www.kbb.com/ford/edge/2017/recall/#:~:text=recall 17V-427.-,Summary%3A,may have been inadequately welded.&text=Enter Your VIN-,Tip%3A Recalls don't affect every vehicle of the,same year%2C make and model. I'd imagine that there are hundreds of small changes (some good, some to save money.)

What have you done to/with your Edge/MKX today?
enigma-2 replied to WWWPerfA_ZN0W's topic in Accessories & Modifications
No signature in the mobile version. (I access the forum via cell phone. Bet several other do as well.) -
One other possibility, contact your local Ford dealer's body shop parts dept. They can send a request to all dealers in the country. There's always a possibility (sight of course) that a dealer has one in stock. (Possibly ordered in the past but never installed). Never hurts to try. My local dealer was able to track down a part in a different state for me.

I'm thinking that the "full sized" spare is only 17" and doesn't match up in height with a standard size tire. Also it's not intended to be used for more than 50 miles. (And has a max 50 mph rating.) Other than that, at least on my mkx, the wheel well is only large enough to fit the donut spare. (A full size tire doesn't fit below the floor.)

Strange warning chime when starting car
enigma-2 replied to rkel95z's topic in Alarms, Keyless Entry, Locks & Remote Start
Another possibility is that's it's a navigation alert from Sync maps. It's been found in another forum that it will alert you of traffic conditions (even if you don't have a route planned.) Next time you hear the double-chime, jump over to Sync maps and see if there is some sort of traffic alert on the screen. -
Disable door keypad
enigma-2 replied to Polecatt's topic in Alarms, Keyless Entry, Locks & Remote Start
Try disabling the door keypad in the post above yours. The most common cause for keypad flashing, other than normal indication of failed entry (¹) is water getting into the keypad between the seal and B-Pillar trim. (Another guy with a 150 tracked his leak to a moonrise seal leaking). (¹) The keypad will go into an anti-scan mode if you enter the wrong code seven times (35 consecutive button presses). This mode disables the keypad for one minute, and the keypad lamp will flash. -
What it states in my owners manual "It is recommended that the two front tires or two rear tires generally be replaced as a pair." I've read that different tires on the same axle can have different tread and throw off the AdvanceTrac sensors. (You see this when you drive using the spare.) Personally I replace all four when one is damaged and there's at least 50% wear. (I like a smooth, quiet ride.)

Looks like a good quality valve. Wonder why they state that it's not supposed to be connected to an air compressor..?

Daughter called me yesterday, needed help to put new wiper blades on her 13 Escape. Ol' dad ran over to show her how simple it is. Who in the hell designed the wiper blades on the Escorts...???? Evil bastard sitting at the back of the office, pissed off over being passed over and forced to design wiper blades, snickering quietly while he thought of all the helpess suckers who are trying to figure out the Escort's reversed informalflummox blade adapter. Blades came with five adapters and instructions written in Pig Latin. Oh sure, there were pictures, but nothing that matched the five adapters. Took 20 minutes..! OK, finally figured it out, simple when you get the right adapter, and connected to the arm properly (can connect in more than one way.) So next we check her tires. I drug out my 20 volt Dewalt air compressor that I carry on my aft storage compartment. Made the job easy. After she finished the four tires, I told her she still had one to go. She argued that she did all four, I smiled and kept saying one more. Then a small light bulb lit and she figured it out. We checked the spare and, .... 5 psi. Never been checked since it was put in the car at the factory. Even Ford dealer wasn't checking it. It pumped to 60 psi and held, so all good. Think everyone forgets the spare. Out of sight, out of mind. Every tire can lose 5 psi a year, even if it's not used. (Especially if it's pumped to 60 psi to begin with.) I checked mine last year, 5 psi. Used the Craftsman compressor and couldn't get it over 12 psi. Looked closer and discovered that the fill valve had dry rotted and cracked. Took it to Ford to get a new tire valve installed, and was told that no one ever brought in a spare to a new valve before. (At least they couldn't remember anyone asking for this.) "No one ever checks their spare".

2007 Edge new tail lights and camera
enigma-2 replied to securinu's topic in Accessories & Modifications
Ask HAZ (on this board) if he'll post a copy of the 2007 and the 2013 wiring. Should be simple after checking the wiring schematics. (He's been a lifesaver to dozens in this forum with service information.) -
Rear seats were optional on the 23. (Had to by the optional passenger comfort option. However that package also came with rear seat, color coordinated, cup holders.) 😉

Does the interior lights dim and go off when opening & closing the drivers door? (Thinking one possibility may be the drivers door closed switch had failed open and either disconnected, or had failed closed.) Believe both doors are wired in parallel. Opening either should kill the audio control unit.

If you want a Ford Edge with all the goodies, ya gotta by a Lincoln. 🥴

You can buy a printed version on Ebay for $70. (They are also selling complete packages with case and all literature. https://www.ebay.com/itm/165220348427?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=8E_DSWquS-q&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=Snv36mbbRk2&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Everyone has their favorites, all depends on what you want in your finished installation. I'd recommend you start by reading this article from Car & Driver Magazine on dash cams, 2024. https://www.caranddriver.com/car-accessories/g46063800/best-dash-cams-tested/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=arb_ga_cd_md_bm_comm_org_us_g46063800&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwrvyxBhAbEiwAEg_KgjO2U3L-obq75WsecUnPMW88xk4Gn47lZvksEmgrY4C2V4v30UZnThoCCU0QAvD_BwE As for mounting, I've found that a mirror mount is superior to the suction cup mounts (they all fall, no matter how well their installed.) Example: https://rammount.com/collections/car-truck-ford-edge For wiring, I'd recommend using a quality wire harness plugged into your rear view mirror connector. Shortens installation to a couple of minutes and turns the camera off when the timed circuit turns off (or door opened.) For example: Dongar Dashcam Power Adapter (5-pin Type F) for Select Ford Vehicles. Compatible with Mach-E, Bronco Sport, Explorer and More. Built-in USB Power Source, Connects to Rearview Mirror, Easy to Install https://a.co/d/5aj6IQ3

Simple. Don't drive over 80. (groan) Seriously, could be lots of things. Either buy an inexpensive code reader of go to one of the auto parts store and have the code(s) read. That's your starting point.

Forgot to mention I also carry a Dewalt inflator. Much faster than those small compressors and battery operated. Usually carry a 5ah battery as that's more than enough to inflate a dozen tires. Jumper battery is a GooLoo 20,800 mah unit. Holds charge for over a year if not used.

Depend on how fast you were moving. I accidentally had the liftgate up and pulled into the garage. Top hit the bottom of the garage door. I was moving really slow and it didnt hurt the liftgate at all. (Made a hell of a thunk however.) If you hit a concrete wall, if it were still opening, I'd imagine the hatch would simply reverse when the hatch realized there was an object present. May scratch the paint however. To make it manual, you can just turn off the automatic function. On mine (Lincoln MKX), there's an on/off setting in the information center. When turned off, it must be opened and closed manually.

I completely forgot about the 4-way. Used to carry one. Great piece of useful equipment. (Still carry a jumper battery to this day in liew of cables.) Gotta use care nowadays; a 4-way has an entirely different meaning than it did years ago. Wuoo wuoo..!

Only thing I can think of that's unique to this door is the specific door open circuit. 1. Does your car have an illuminated scuff sill plate on passenger side? Opening passenger door triggers interior lighting which stays on for a while. While opening drivers door also triggers lights, if you bought the car used, a former owner (or dealer) may have disconnected the druvers door switch because it was bad. 2. Does opening drivers door trigger interior lighting? 3. Any electrical modifications to your car? Any at all? 4. Did you check the wire bundle passing from the car frane into the door for frayed insulation ?

From page 183 of the the 2013 owners manual: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WARNING: Do not overfill the fuel tank. The pressure in an overfilled tank may cause leakage and lead to fuel spray and fire. From page 189: Allow no more than two automatic click–offs when filling. Never overfill the tank when refilling. Just fill the tank until the pump clicks off. If you overfill your tank, it can cover the vapor intake hole with liquid gas, which can then be sucked into the charcoal canister.
