  1. After you get it out, put a couple drops of lubricant in the motor bearing area. These motor bearings have a habit of drying out.
  2. Sometimes price is not the.main consideration. I've read horror stories about Chinese wheels failing after a few years use. Sometimes at highway speeds. Whichever rim you decide on, I'd recommend you Google the manufacturer to see if there are any problems reported (remember they can change their name at the drop of a hat so longevity in business becomes important).
  3. This particular problem can sometimes be caused by a blocked path between the sensors, dirty safety eyes, loose wires at the sensors or at the motor head, one or two bad sensors, bad motor control board, or one of the sensors has been bumped and is out of alignment. (In my case I had the same problem and finally traced it to one of the sensors had been bumped and no longer pointed directly at the other sensor. Door opens but refused to close as the sensors are there to monitor if anyone is in the doors path). Besides checking the sensor placement, try resetting the unit by unplugging the garage door opener for a few minutes and re-plugging the unit back into the outlet. In addition, try cleaning the Sensors, look for any damaged wiring, check for corroded connection at the sensors. One other thing that can cause problems is the use of certain LED light bulbs in the opener. If your using LEDs, try removing them and see if they are the problem. (If so, replace them with LEDs specifically marked for use with garage door openers).
  4. https://www.oemfordpart.com/oem-parts/ford-handle-outside-ds7z5422405aaptm Spray it with the correct paint. This may not be your exact color as there is no R3 that I can find, but other Reds are available on this page. https://a.co/d/iBZP91X
  5. NHTSA Recall ID Number : 22T020 Synopsis : Yokohama Off-Highway Tires America, Inc (YOHTA) is recalling certain Alliance High Speed Rib Implement Tire 12.5L-15 FI, 11L-15FI, Primex Highway R-550 Steer and Trailer 11-22.5, Alliance 317 Implement 10.5-20 IMP, and Alliance Stubble Proof 319 SPH 11L-15FI tires. The date code portion of the Tire Identification Number (TIN) states the incorrect manufacture date on the sidewall of the tire. As such, these tires fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 119, "New Pneumatic Tires, Other than Passenger Cars." The incorrect date code hinders drivers from accurately identifying the age of the tire and makes it difficult to determine if the tire is affected by a safety recall, which can increase the risk of a crash. YOHTA will replace the affected tires, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed December 09, 2022. Owners may contact YOHTA's customer service at 1-800-343-3276.
  6. NHTSA Recall ID Number :22T021Synopsis : Bridgestone Americas Tire Operation (BATO) is recalling certain Firestone Destination LE2 tires, size P265/65R17 110S (DOT date codes 2522 through 2622), Bridgestone Alenza Sport A/S tires, size 235/55R20 102V (DOT date codes 2422 through 2722) and Bridgestone Turanza EL440 tires, size 235/50R18 97V (DOT date codes 2521 through 2621). The tires may have sustained cuts and tears during the sorting process, which can result in tire damage. Damaged tires can lead to a sudden loss of air pressure and loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will inspect and replace the tires, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed between December 19, 2022 and January 2, 2023. Owners may contact BATO's customer service at 1-800-847-3272.
  7. And how Ford fixed the problem starting in the late 2020+ engines.
  8. 2009 Ford Edge uses a 9005 bulb. A Sylvania 9005 Basic Halogen Headlight Bulb is rated at 1,700 lumens. State laws usually limit the output to between 2,000 lumens to 4,000 lumens. Friend (County) told me they don't get concerned unless the vehicle is throwing out too much glare. Then its usually written as a warning, subject to having it inspected at a later date. A smart ass will get a citation and court date.
  9. On HID cars, the smaller filament is used for the DRL. With halogen lights, the smaller filament is still used for the DRL and the larger filament is then used as the high beam. Apparently the larger filament is not used with HID headlights as its not needed. To remove the HID headlight bulb, the process is described on page 287 in the owners manual (or near that page if you have a different edition). You may have to turn the locking ring with spirited anticipation to encourage its willing co-operation. Remember to never touch the bulb glass with your bare fingies and, if you do, wipe the glass with alcohol prior to reinstalling. (This is true of HID and Halogen bulbs. The oil from your fingers will create a hot spot on the bulb and early burn out from overheating). I always wipe my bulbs with an eyeglass alcohol wipe during installation, just to be certain that no grungy factory worker had his/her greasy paws on the bulb prior to packaging.
  10. As those are HALOGEN, I'd say yes. Less than $250 for BOTH headlamp assemblies? Great price.
  11. According to the owners manual it's the high beam (doesn't mention the use of LED lighting for the 2017). It looks to be a H11 bulb, according to Sylvania specs,, one filament is for the high beam, the other is DRL. Try turning on your brights to see if it comes on.
  12. I was reading this thread again and there was something that bothered me about this. When you train the wheels to the TPMS system, don't they register to a specific wheel position? Left front, right rear, etc. And if you registered a spare, wouldn't that get erased when you removed it to mount the primary tire? Wouldnt you need to re-register the spares transmitter to that specific position again, when you switched to the spare? I know when my dealer registered my car with a new wheel and sensor, he had to walk around to each wheel, in a specific order to get the registration right. I believe they have to reprogram the wheels after a tire rotation to tell the BCM where each of the wheels moved to. Thats why you can only have four wheel registered at any time. If you put a spare on, which has a correct pressure transmitter, you would have to re-register the wheels again. Otherwise you'd get a warning light (because the wheel with the transmitter that's registered to that position is no longer sending information).
  13. I use alcohol wipes (eyeglass cleaner wipes) and then follow with a wipe of 303 protectant. (Provides UV protection slows oxidation and keeps the rubber from becoming hard). Don't know of any screw that adjusts pressure, believe that a spring applies all of the downward pressure). Have your cleaned your windshield? A windscreen with oil smeared on it will cause streaking. If you ever want to super clean your windshield, this works incredibly (rain beads better than RainX and lasts a lot longer). 1. Wash the glass with water 2. Clean the glass with glass cleaner. (I use Windex). 3. Go over the glass with a quality degreaser to dissolve any grease or oil sticking to the glass. This is what I use, but you can use 409, etc.: SuperClean Multi-Surface All Purpose Cleaner Degreaser Spray https://a.co/d/633TSZs 4. And this is what makes the real difference. Clean the windshield with a piece of clay bar. If you've never used it, you break off a piece of clay, and using a spritz bottle with water, wet the glass and just rub it over the glass. If the glass is completely clean, the clay will simply slide over the glass. But if it encounters any oil or grease sticking to the glass, it will drag. You just over over this area until the clay slides freely. Now the glass is super clean and ready for the last step. This is what I use (but any clay bar should work well): Mothers 07240 California Gold Clay Bar https://a.co/d/8ZfclZw 5. Carbona wax. Apply a light coat of wax over the glass and allow it to fully dry. This could take a 1/2 hour or more. When your certain its dry, wipe it off with a microfiber towel, turning often. When its clean, use a new, clean mf towel and polish the glass. You won't believe how clean and protected the windshield is. You won't even need to use your wipers when driving. (I remember going through a car wash and able to see in front of me the entire time. The soap and high pressure spray beaded and ran off faster than it was being applied. If that's even possible). This is the wax I use: Meguiar's G7014J Gold Class Carnauba Plus Premium Paste Wax. https://a.co/d/g700YvZ
  14. According to the owners manual, the low beam bulb is a H11 and the high beam uses a 9005 bulb. A H11 bulb is rated at 55 watts, or 55 watts ÷ 12 volts = 4.6 Amps. Both bulbs are fused at 15 Amps. (Fuse #23). 9005 is rated at 65 watts. 65 watts ÷ 12 volts = 5.4 Amps. Each bulb is fused at 10 Amps. (Fuse #7 & #8). Using the Drive Bright bulbs I posted above, they are rated at 45 watts. (As an example). So yes, the wiring would handle the LED bulbs. (However high intensity bulbs would almost certainly require a relay and additional direct wiring).
  15. Hi Anil, what was the outcome of the accident?
  16. As @DILLARD000 said, plus check SPARK PLUGS, need to be changed at 90k miles. If there's any question, change all fluids, brake, pwr steering, PTU, COOLANT and TRANSMISSION. (Caps are .out important). Less important is the cabin air filter (behind glove box) and under seat filters (if you have heated/cooled seats. The filters in the 08 are actually filters. In late 09 and later these were changed to open grills). Motorcraft cabin air filter Under seat filter
  17. You may find this site useful. https://www.instructables.com/How-To-Convert-Your-Headlight-Bulbs-to-LED/ I seen these new LED types online and they seem to be a real breakthrough. And Drive Bright has an excellent reputation. https://drivebright.com/shop/led-headlight-replacement-kit-new/
  18. Look like these? https://www.partsgeek.com/gbproducts/AC/96723-04250684.html
  19. Thought the OEM were branded as Motorcraft? Were yours branded Bosch?
  20. There are several aftermarket on Ebay under $50 (free shipping, but I don't know if that includes Canada. Most will ship to Canada and someone from Quebec province left +feedback). There's two selling Motorcraft, but price much higher.
  21. You look for any screws they may have added in the '22 ?
  22. Any other dealers in your area? (Sounds like your dealer is short handed on technicians).
