  1. Have you tested the battery CCA rating? Loe voltage is a possible cause of a no start condition.
  2. Thanks for correcting me, Haz. Didn’t realize the Edge had a different setup than 150. Amazing how complicated they can transform a simple AM/FM antenna!
  3. One other problem noted with aftermarket (especially Dorman) is the connector may need to be forced on, past the point where it seems seated. At least one person commented that his was loose and had to use a wire tie to secure the connector. Also aftermarket fan assemblies have been noted causing excessive vibration and/or noise. You can't go wrong with Motorcraft.
  4. When the fuel pump failed, the rail depressurized. Try pressing the accelerator all the way to the floor and crank the engine for 3-4 seconds. Then do it again. Then try starting normally. This should repressurize the fuel rail. (FWIW, lack of fuel pressure should have thrown a code).
  5. Check and make certain the small antenna mast is screwed in on the shark fin. It's about 6"-8" tall stick. (Classic symptoms). It's a dealer install and it's possible they forgot to do it. If it's missing, check to see if its still in the glovebox. If it's there, make certain its screwed in tight and no corrosion in connectiin socket.
  6. Based on what you previously said, (and I'm only thinking outloud), any possibly you unplugged the fuel pump? Only other thing I can think of in the rear that would prevent a start is the fuel.pump shut off switch may be unplugged (the one that triggers in an accident).
  7. Have you figured it out yet? If not, you need to check the codes to see what's being reported.
  8. As the horn works when you wire to it directly, I'd put on a multimeter and check the voltage at the plug. Also look for corrosion in this plug. (Really sounds insufficient voltage getting to the horn).
  9. If you have serious concerns, why not running it through a local (good) mechanic for a road worthy inspection. The look of the car reveals nothing as to what condition the mechanical aspects are really in. A simple failed part can cause a multitude of problems when you least expect it. Tell the service rep that you are planning a long trip and want to be certain that its in good condition. (Ford dealers offer a multipoint inspection with their oil change and tire rotation. Ask for The Works. $40.)
  10. TireRack reviews. (Remember they are reporting with only a couple thousand miles on them). https://www.tirerack.com/survey/SurveyComments.jsp?reload=true&tireMake=Bridgestone&tireModel=Alenza+AS+Ultra&category=tire&sortBy=1&wantsDescending=true
  11. If your husband replaced the fan assembly with an aftermarket unit, it's been found that they are often wired wrong. (Rewiring has been discussed in the forum in the past).
  12. I occasionally flip on the windshield defroster as it not only directs airflow onto the glass, it also runs the a/c. The refrigerant flow relubricants the seals. Most common place that leaks are the Schrader Valves (where the high and low hoses connect). One way to possibly tell is to remove the dust caps and see if you can see the residue of leaking refrigerant and oil. Valves are cheap and should be changed whenever the system needs service.
  13. In the F150, if the air bag warning light malfunctions, it will beep 5 times. (Without a warning lamp, there's no way the system can inform you of a malfunction with the restraint system). A simple way to verify this is to turn the ignition ON and check the cluster. The airbag lamp should illuminate. If it doesn’t, you will receive an alarm of 5 beeps. (Believe it's 5 long beeps for 5x.). Another reason you could get 5 beeps is a fault in the TPMS lamp. Again look at the cluster and see if the warning lamp comes on. If "yes" its not the problem. If "no" lamp, check tire pressure are adjust on all 4 tires. Then get TP.S circuit repaired. (Believe its 5 long beeps over 3x). Neither of these should prevent starting. If it happens again, try leaving the car in ON position, open drivers door and remove key. Then close door and try restart. Or wait until the beeping stops are try again. May be a change if Ford warning to get your attention and not just ignore. (With cluster warning lamps out, there's no way the car can get your attention that there is a problem).
  14. Now, that's interesting. Didn't know there was a 15.5" screen.
  15. Bent rim? Usually shows up at higher speeds. As the vibration isn't in the steering wheel, its probably coming from the rear.
  16. They sent me a letter stating that replacments were in stock. Called dealer and he scheduled 6 weeks out. Asked why, and he said they only have one technician who's certified on air bags and they had to order stock. (Lincoln thinks dealers keep these in stock). (I sort of wonder if this particular technician moves between local dealers, and is only in once a week or so).
  17. With the information Haz supplied, you can pull the LED and see if something like this will work. (Clear of course, not amber, but you get the idea). Read the information in the description. All comes down to the specific base for the LED. https://www.ebay.com/itm/174261350606?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=TzqfdFWNTBi&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=Snv36mbbRk2&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
  18. Did you check the fuses? Try checking fuse #22 (10a) in the engine fuse box. It controls the compressor clutch. No clutch engagement, no cooling. Its been so hot lately, the car's a/c may have over pressured when you started and blew the fuse. (Just thinking outloud).
  19. This may or may not be useful, but would an universal assembly work? It's cheap enough ($17.99 USD) and as it ships from China, should also ship to Brazil. https://www.ebay.com/itm/384633138493?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=m_gmg0f6sps&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=Snv36mbbRk2&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
  20. Threads are corroded. Try spraying some penetrating oil (I like PB Blaster) on the threads and allow time for it to soak in. Tapping sometime helps. https://a.co/d/i14TYX7
  21. Try this. Put the car in accessories mode. Using the information Haz provided (mainly the corrected image), press AND HOLD the on/off switch. While holding it, press the seek down button. HOLD until the system goes into diagnosis mode and the speaker test starts. About 5-10 seconds.
  22. Ford states that the fix costs a little over $1,000. (Replace the entire shifter mechanism). Don't see a LED replacement detail, but worth a try. See attached to remove shifter. https://www.justanswer.com/ford/33558-replace-lamp-gear-shifter-ford-edge.html?r=impact|27795|Online Tracking Link|&clickid=yqi3f5Xq%3AxyIT-2Wt41wdxdNUkD2NpU%3APVzIVE0&aff_sub_id=&aff_sub_id2=l4aplytk0z00b4bt0mj0u&aff_sub_id3=&aff_sub_id4=&chat_text=&irgwc=1
  23. Had the airbag changed out yesterday (06/10/2010). Showed up at 7:45 & was out by 8:15.
