My guess is the SJB is either loose on its mounting or failing. The headlight circuit is fed through the use of a FET and produces a pulse modulated voltage to the headlights. It's 100% for regular headlight use, 50%for DRL. About the only thing you can do is check to see if the SJB (fusebox) is loose. Otherwise you will need to get the codes pulled. If the circuit is failing, it should set a code. If the SJB is failing, all you do is replace it. I would guess that the headlight controller could be the problem, but again you would need to pull the codes.

We did this with our local Ford dealer. They then matched the price on the tires but paid more mounting and warranty. (Worth the little extra in piece of mind).

Your not planning to hang that from your rear-view mirror I hope. LOL

Dark tint is illegal in ALL states. Some flexibility on side fronts, in some states, but nothing allowed below rearview mirror height on front window. If your concerned about heat, there's a 5% film that blocks infrared that should work okay on front and front sides.

On a non-dual system, the blend door should affect both sides equally. As you state it's working properly, there is only one other thing that I can think of as the cause: the heater core is blocked on the drivers side. (Allows full airflow through the core, but no heat to pick up). As a test, consider operating the air conditioner and test whether both sides are equally cold. If they are, then it's probably the heater core (either inside the core or some material that got into the heater system and is blocking the airflow through that part of the airflow. To support this, I found a large amount of some type of sponge rubber pieces blocking my cabin filter. Had no idea how it got into system, but did find it after an oil change at local Ford dealer). (???) If the ac is also not working, it's not the heater core. Has to be a blocked air chamber. Don't think the door is two-piece, but whenever this comes up it's always the driver's side that's cold. Does anyone know if the heat door is in two pieces or if its all one piece?

How about a electrically operated front 0late holder? (Mounts under bumper). Ebay item no. 321860901502

I can turn my display off in my 09 MKX. I agree that it can be a little distracting at night, I'll sometimes just turn it off.

So much great information in this message, like to see it pinned.

Would hitting a chuck hole at speed cause this? Glad ro hear everything's good to go on the Edge. Still covered by the extended warranty? That just paid for itself.

Talked to the dealer and he said I could schedule at any time, just bring it in near empty. Asked what if I had to replace tank, he said they have been stockpiling ranks and have half-dozen on hand. (FWD, not AWD). Told him I have AWD and he said would take one extra day, and they would supply a loner for the time they had it. Would have to bring a tank in from Ford parts warehouse. Also said that cars specificly not noted in recall (not registered in snow states) will be serviced under recall, if found to be leaking. However, if checked and found to be okay, owner would be responsible for labor.

Hey jsmith, that's an outstanding writeup. One of the best I've ever seen, every thing is crystal clear. Thanks so much for posting this. If I ever need to replace my pump I'll remember you. Btw, how many miles do you have on your edge?

Does your car have a Sirius receiver?

I have one of the older units with a hard drive. Is it just songs or can one dvd's as well?

The Silverstar zXe bulb is more for appearance (bluer). The Silverstar Ultra is a better bulb for seeing. (The zXe was designed to mimic the color temerature of HID and the intense blue actually reduces your seeing ability - blue focuses at the wrong part of the retina than redder light). I put in Ultra's for both low & high beams, well satisfied. Like to see a comparison between the Ultra and the Nighthawk's however.

If your looking for just emergency chains to carry should you get stuck, and can be used on aluminum wheels, look at these: http://www.amazon.com/Zip-Grip-Go-Cleated-Traction/dp/B009M6TXLU

Here's a good article on sizing based on clearance. http://www.etrailer.com/faq-snow-tire-chain-comparison.aspx#Clearance

Curious that it's reading okay below 65 but not above. Wondering out loud... if the vibration was wheel balance, would that be enough to cause the sensor to stop reading? Or do you believe that the sensor itself is causing the vibration at speeds above 65?

Ford is dodging. I had to replace the booster on my 20 09. (Was covered under extended warranty).

There are two recalls on the 08 for fuel tank. http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/owners/SearchResults;jsessionid=hC1XWbfJYh2jk6H2yTPGLMt2tSHgLJk0LcNC2rpC1V3wCfQ1T8m8!1016641107?searchType=PROD&prodType=V&targetCategory=A&searchCriteria.model=MKX&cmplCount=10&rclCount=1&invCount=0&tsbCount=5&activeTab=0&stats=325631%2C2%2C2%2C49%2C10%2CMKX&makeStats=&jsonBaseURL=%2Fdownloads%2Ffolders%2F&searchCriteria.model_yr=2008&searchCriteria.make=LINCOLN&searchCriteria.prod_ids=325631&submit=Go In reading the 08 & 09 recalls, it appears that they overlap, running from 2006 to 2010. Looks like they finally included the 2009 & 2010 models (for one of the recalls, they must have changed the design between the 08 & 09 models).

You are correct. I d/l Edge manuals & looks like _only_ the 2015 requires one to disconnect the battery.2012, 2913, 2014 & 2016 read like my 09, just run 5-minutes after 6 hours. Another reason to pass on the 2015.

Where was the temple?

Interesting. How would a H9 work in an 09 MKX? (Wouldn't want to throw glare into oncoming traffic ).

Just don't forget to throw a couple of newspapers on top of the mats to protect them. 'just kidding' LOL. You will find, like the rest of us have, they are the perfect solution to road salt and winter slush.

Although the multifunction switch is an integral part of the circuit, I would suspect either the wiper motor or the motor connector has corrosion on the terminals. Try operating the washer and see if it works (circuit runs through the motor). If the washer circuit works, pull the motor connector and check for corrosion. If it doesn't work, suspect the motor (contains several electronic components, besides the motor, any of which could be failing. The washer also runs through the same electronics.)
