  1. One other point of consideration is installing aftermarket speakers will affect the car's Roll Stability control.
  2. Hey Gary, FYI in Illinois the maximum tint you can use is 35%. Here in Indiana, the cops use a small photo gauge that will actually measure the percent of tint. Here's a link to the IL law: http://www.tinting-laws.com/illinois/
  3. I feel your pain. Ever since i got my MKX, I have the same problem with the ball retriever.
  4. In.my last car, 5 years and 7 years. All depends on how much their used. Don't buy battery ahead of time. They have a shelf life. If they go dead, you can still open the door using the key. (Remember when ...)? On my 09 there is no indication when they're getting weak. Just wait till they don't work and replace.
  5. Not safe to repair rim if the bead is cracked. Can only replace with new. Try Ebay. http://m.ebay.com/itm/22-FORD-EDGE-SPORT-PVD-CHROME-WHEELS-RIMS-2011-2014-FACTORY-OEM-3850-EXCHANGE-/201244327223?nav=SEARCH http://m.ebay.com/itm/2011-2012-2013-2014-Ford-Edge-OEM-Factory-BT4Z1007E-22-Polished-Wheel-Rim-3850-/262368923118?nav=SEARCH http://m.ebay.com/itm/FORD-EDGE-22-FACTORY-OEM-POLISHED-AND-BLACK-WHEEL-RIM-2011-2014-3850-/141812073154?nav=SEARCH
  6. I thought the button was electrical only. Didn't realize it was also mechanical. If pressing the button doesn't work, you could drop the back seats and crawl back far enough to pull up the cargo cover where it butts up to the back seat, and reach under. If you have a small battery charger, hook it up and press the button.
  7. Two thoughts (based on 48 years of marriage). 1. Your wife is always right. 2. Even if she's wrong, she's right.
  8. Open the tailgate. The two screws are located on an extension on the assembly. After you remove the screws, the tail light is removed by pulling straight out. You may have to wiggle and massage the assembly to get it free. But it will pull free eventually.

    engine cover

    Was looking at a 2016 MKX today. Thick foam *and* chrome letters. (I'm jealous). Darn, now where cam I buy chrome letters?
  10. If the coolant level was 'not' down, could it be possible that it was actually washer fluid instead? The hoses run over that area and are more likely the cause rather that a head gasket (although that is a possibility). Did you just assume it was coolant, or confirm?

    engine cover

    Why because it says "LINCOLN" in nice big letters across the engine, that's why. (Btw, it's real plastic in the Lincoln version, not the cheaper foam, in the Ford version). Shame it's not chromed, but hey, they have to hold costs somewhere. .... (Yes. I'm kidding). BTW, on my 09, it's listed as a "engine appearance cover".
  12. Sounds like the TSS & OSS need changing. http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/20201-ford-edge-2007-2010-tss-and-oss-failures-will-happen-symptoms-explained/?do=findComment&comment=149803
  13. Thinking out loud, wonder if possibly you have reached the maximum amount of keys permitted? A real possibility if you bought the car used. Once a key is programmed it stays in memory until manually deleted.

    You could also ask in the "LevittownFordSuperCenter" forum. They are Ford parts suppliers and members of this forum. Discounted parts prices too.
  15. If you have AWD it could be the ABS module pulsing. Try Removing the fuse for the ABS and see if it stops.
  16. Why not just bypass the resistors and just plug in LEDS where you want without any fear of hyperflashing. https://www.superbrightleds.com/blog/led-turn-signals-blinking-too-fast-hyperflashing/275/

  18. Wow, 2010 and only 22k. Like a brand new car. Outstanding. Welcome to the forum.
  19. I pulled this from another post in the this forum. If I'm not mistaken, the speed sensor connects to the transmission (but I've never really looked for it). "In the Edge, you can find this wire coming from the PCM (Powertrain Control Module), which is under the hood on the passenger side of the engine. It is the purple/orange wire."
  20. Believe when I let it run low, it pops up in that same neighborhood. I would guess that city driving, 40 or 50 miles would be more than enough. Highway 80 or 90 would be more appropriate.
  21. Kimda sounds like this either a buy-back, repair and sell as used or Avis noticed it was leaking again and dumped it for a different car to avoid the difficulty of having it repaired again. They did the repair, checked and found no leaks, and now six months later it's leaking again. Either the repair was poorly done or the sealer is a stop-gap and is prone to fail over time. Whatever the cause, it's a real concern. How many others on the road have failed or will fail? I think it be wise to avoid any Edge or MKX that was built during the "quality is job 2" phase and either go with an earlier or later model. What the hell happened to the quality control at that plant? Thousands of cars with the same serious defects.
  22. Wasn't Columbine Truman's Air Force One? Why does that name sold familure?
