So why not just use the OEM bolts? The ones you took out to replace the arm? Or, go back to the dealer you bought the Chinese, junk aftermarket arm from and have him sell you the correct length bolts. (Some aftermarket arms (Mooge) come with new bolts. According to Truedrive specifications for the 2008 edge lower control arms, they require the use of M12 x 1.75 bolts in bushing.

NHTSA Recall ID Number : 25T003 Synopsis : Bridgestone Americas Tire Operation (BATO) is recalling certain Blizzark 6 tires, size 235/40R19. The DOT certification symbol is missing from the tire sidewalls. As such, these tires fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 139, "New Pneumatic Radial Tires for Light Vehicles." Tires that are missing a DOT symbol may be used in inappropriate applications, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will replace the tires as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed May 9, 2025. Owners may contact BATO's customer service at 1-800-847-3272.

Is it possible that one has the Beosonic sound system and the other doesn't?

When I last had my rotors / pads changed, I had my Ford service dept go with the upgraded pads. (Same OEM rotors, why waste your money, emergency stops are controlled by tire size, not rotor size/type.) Anyway, I did notice that the braking on mild stops was somewhat improved. That was several thousand miles ago and I've never had a single complaint with these pads.

The car was originally avaliable with 265/40R21's. The only difference is that the 275 is 10 millimeters wider than the 265 tire. Both tires have the same aspect ratio (40) and rim diameter (21"), meaning they will have the same overall height and will fit the same wheel size. So it comes down whether a tire 1/2" wider will fit. My -guess- is yes, but I've been wrong before.

As there was no follow up, and if you still have this problem, I can offer a couple of suggestions. A fairly common issue is the connector to the Seat Heater Control Module (under the seat) overheating and burning, especially the power or grounding pins. Try checking the connector (under the passenger seat) for any signs of burning. You could also try unplugging and replugging the connector to see if that changes anything. The other thing that may or may not apply, is that some cars therecis an over temperature thermostat (wired in series inside the heaters) to prevent overheating. It works by turning off the heater when the seat reaches a certain temperature. It's remotely possible that it has changed its operation and become sensitive to cold.

Think "engagement thingies" is the correct name.

Kind of sounds like the Auto High Beam setting got confused when you installed the LEDs. I'd try resetting the circuit first: (on the touchscreen) >vehicle settings >Vehicle >Lighting >Auto High Beam and toggle it off or on.

Officially, Ford says it will last a lifetime. (Fords definition of lifetime is the warranty period.) After the local Ford/Lincoln service replaced my PTU, the service manager told me to change the fluid at 30k intervals. Nothing written in blood, if you pull a trailer, change each year. If not, figure 30k.

Here's what I did. I went online and got a quote from Levittown Ford. Then scheduled an "The Works" oil change with my local Lincoln/Ford service dept. After The Works, I walked up and talked to the Business Manager (he's the one who writes the contracts.) He gave me the usual spiel on the various plans & costs. I picked the best and then told him I had a quote from Levittown. Would he match. (Of course he would, never had been in that spot before, caught him off guard.) I had printed out the quote, he read it and instantly matched. Then he said that they would need to do an inspection on the car. $100. (This is normal as when they write a contract on a used car, the need for the dealer to do a full inspection to make certain their not getting stuck with an existing condition. If they find anything, you're required to bring it up to snuff before the contract is signed.) Said I had just had the car inspected in their service bay. Got "The Works" oil change. He looked surprised, and called the service manager. Service Manager told him that I was just in and an inspection was part of the service. Didn't find anything. So no $100 inspection charge. 😁 OK, he's got the contract ready and I then ask him "what else can he do for me, to best the offer from Levittown Ford." He asks what do I mean and I said that I wanted a $0 deductible. Looks dumb founded. Hits the calculator and offers me a $0 deductible if I have all of my service done in their shop. (Otherwise its a $100 deductible.) Sure, no problem, so I sign, save hundreds of dollars and a hundred at each service. PTU began belching black goo 3 months later. Service personnel came into waiting room, long face, sorry, just found, estimated around $1,800, sorry. And they also found the right tie rod was bad. $450 (I think.) Ok, let's get it scheduled. We walk back out to the service desk and I inform them I have Extended Service. They tell me that I may have to pay for the service then turn it in to my warranty company. (They explain how many of the aftermarket warranty companies refuse to authorize or are slow to pay and they are tired of the hassle.) Can't blame them. Tell them I have the Ford Extended Warranty, faces brighten and click, click on the computer and we'll get you scheduled next week. No problem, no cost. 😁

@WyoEdge ever get this figured out?

You have a 24 don't you? If so, you can swap in a temp gage by using the steering wheel controls.

Probably wrong, but my guess is the bulb is ready to go out. Turns on, heats up, filament gets hot and opens until it cools. Rinse repeate. Q. Did you modify the harness in any way when attempting to put in the LEDs?

Possibility that when the car wash ripped the part off, one or more of those clips were lost. Think that I seen them *or something like them) at Advanced Auto.

Hate to be a downer, looks a little too bright for me. Love the puppy however. What a cutie.

We were out visiting another city today, returning I decided to stop and get gas. While filling up, I remembered that when I was a kid, we used to pull into a has station, a clerk would run out and ask regular or Ethel. We'd choose regular and while THEY were fuling the car, they'd grab an air hose and check the pressure in each tire, then pop the cap off the radiator and add water, then check the windshield washer bag for water, and finally clean the windshield. So I got curious as I haven't checked the pressure in my tires, checked the oil level or washer fluid. Surprise, surprise. Quart low (due for an oil change) tires about 5 psi low and washer fluid near empty (snowing here today, been using the washer.) Slapped in a quart of Shells best synthetic ($11) and the washer bottle took a half gallon. Guess it doesn't hurt to check these things every once in a while when getting gas. Was at a Loves Truck Stop (love these places), where they have two pumps in a lane. Guess no one ever checks their air pressure any more. Car behind me got disgusted that I was checking my oil and putting air in my tires. So he started blowing his horn. This of course forced me to slowwwwwww way down, and be extra diligent. (It wasn't that he couldn't go around, he was just too lazy to go around. It required he back up and then pull over into the other lane, or continue backing up about 10 ft more and drive off.) After seeing that I wasn't going to get out of his way, he went around. Varoom, varoom and he drove off around 40 mph through the gas station. Anyway, I then pulled the MKX up to the building in front of Hardies and put the oil and washer fluid in. Lesson, don't pass off an old man working on his car. We don't give a shit if you're in a hurry. <snort>

Don't know if this is the same diagnostics, but you can also access the hidden diagnostics menu by pressing and holding the SIG button on the steering wheel and dashboard at the same time. (The radio needs to set to an FM or AM station.) Once in the menu, you can run tests and change settings.

Its possible that the lever that adjusts your seat position may be jammed. When standing out of the car, try pulling the lever directly upward with a fair amount of force. This might be able to free the mechanism of any dirt or gunk which is jamming the gears. If it's still stuck, pump the seat lever downward three or four times, then pull the lever up sharply. This may be able disengage the jammed gears, freeing the seat. If these attempts don't work, you'll probably have the pull the seat and see if the adjustment mechanism is jammed from gunk, or if the mechanism is broken.

User in a different forum said that he got his to activate by pressing and holding the volume button and simultaneously turning the button one click.

Big job. Have to remove the top and front of engine to reach. Going this far, you definitely change out water pump, timing chain, chain guides and plugs. My dealer drops the engine/transmission subframe to service. Claims it's easier that working on engine inside car.

The common hardware items are listed in Ford's Standard Parts Catalog. This is what the old paper copies look like, the current ones are on digital. Dealer has a copy. https://www.garysgaragemahal.com/standard--utility-parts-catalog.html

Studder under load is most often ignition related (not always, but I'd suspect first.) How many miles on your plugs? Could also be a coil boot partial failure that allowing spark to short to block. Couple of videos that have good advice on how to isolate:
