  1. Pulled this off web AI on the subject If your FordPass app isn't displaying the Modem ESN in the settings, it likely means your vehicle's connectivity settings aren't activated, the modem might be faulty, or there could be a software issue; check your vehicle's SYNC screen settings to ensure connectivity is turned on, try restarting your vehicle, and if the issue persists, contact your Ford dealer to check for any software updates or potential modem issues;. Here are a few steps to troubleshoot: Check Vehicle Settings: Access your vehicle's SYNC screen. Navigate to "Settings" > "Vehicle". Verify that "FordPass Connect" or "Connectivity Settings" are enabled. Restart Vehicle: Turn off your vehicle completely. Wait a few minutes. Restart the vehicle and check the FordPass app again. Check for Software Updates: Access the SYNC screen settings. Look for a software update option and apply any available updates. Contact Ford Dealer: If the issue persists, reach out to your local Ford dealer. They can diagnose the problem further, potentially checking for a faulty modem or performing a software reset. Key points to remember: ESN stands for Electronic Serial Number: which uniquely identifies your vehicle's modem. If you can't find the ESN on your SYNC screen, it might indicate that the modem isn't activated or there's a connectivity issue. Some Ford vehicles require you to explicitly activate the FordPass Connect feature in your vehicle settings before it will appear in the FordPass app.
  2. I agree, those tire leggins look worthless.
  3. Look at these https://www.ebay.com/itm/203043051075?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=DzWCZ5ZUSGi&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=Snv36mbbRk2&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
  4. Your best bet is to stop by your local Ford dealer parts dept. Baring that, goto https://parts.ford.com Enter your VIN and location and do a search for parking aid sensor. Should bring up a diagram showing all of the parts related to the installation. Don't be surprised to learn that each sensor has its own retainer due to the shape of the bumper cover.
  5. I've used Silverstar Ultras in the past. Very white and bright. Not really cheap however. Think the 6012's list for around $60. Halogen.
  6. There have been several faults listed in this thread. Can you elaborate as to exactly what your hatchback is doing (or not doing)? (BTW, how old is your cars battery? A weak battery can cause problems like described above.)
  7. I don't know the answer to your question, but many replacement modules require programming before use. I'd call a service dept and ask if they know. Believe I'd also try running a speaker all-around test from the radio. If you don't know how to do this, to enter the speaker walk-around test (or audio unit self-diagnostic mode), 1. turn on the radio 2. turn radio to AM/FM. 3. Then to enter the speaker walk-around test, simultaneously press and hold the station preset buttons 3 and 6, for approximately 3 seconds, then release. And you could also try another radio (one that's designed to work in your 08 Lincoln Navigator.) Here's one example: https://www.ebay.com/itm/275826592190?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=ttvpOdc8T8K&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=Snv36mbbRk2&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY .
  8. Good points Larry, but how does changing an air intake allow more air to pass through the throttle body?
  9. Duhhhhh. They put a 12 volt battery way up inside the instrument cluster in a manner where its impossible to service?
  10. Probably need to replace the gas struts. Price out OEM struts before you consider aftermarket.
  11. I have the factory tow package on my 09 MKX. On the windiw sticker it included an 1-¼ hitch receiver, wiring harness (mine has the 7-pin round blade connector), upgraded engine fan center (2-fans) & larger radiator. I've heard that it also includes (but never confirmed) larger brakes, heavier rear shocks & larger sway bar.
  12. What did you mean when you said that you "reset" the cable ...". Wiggled the connector or ..? Could it be that you disconnected power to the APIM and "rebooted" it?
  13. Night mode was included on all iPhone 11's, and later. If you don't see Dark Mode in your Control Center, you might be able to add it. Open Control Center. Touch and hold a blank space in the Control Center to edit the screen. Tap Add a Control at the bottom of the screen and select Dark Mode to add it to the Control Center. (Don't have it on my Android, but I do have blue light eliminator setting. Hate it.)
  14. This popped up here a year or two ago. It was seen on the 2019 Edge / Nautilus in very cold weather, and caused by a software upgrade. .
  15. Listened to the video. Its probably going to take your mechanic to diagnose it problem as it could be so many things. But I'll offer an opinion. One thing I'd suspect is worn cam phasers. When failing, these will create a rattling type sound because of their moving without sufficient proper oil pressure (to dampen the movement.)
  16. I also used the push the opener purple (learn) button, then the homelink button on the visor. However, I held the homelink button until the opener light blinked (indicating it connected.)
  17. Seen a guy on YouTube who fixed his camera by going into the hatch and just remounting the camera upside down...!
  18. Try a radio reset and a sync reset. (Pull fuses, leave out for several minutes, then replace.) Bad connector connections can also cause problems. Possibly the vehicle battery is getting weak, could run test on amout of amp-hours remaining. (Voltage test doesn't work on modern cars.)

    Veterans

    You can request all of your service records, including your DD214 on the VA website. I just ordered two more certified copies of my DD224 last year. Took about 3 weeks. (No cost of course.) https://www.va.gov/records/get-military-service-records/ You said you're 80. Vietnam vet? If so, apply immediately for Agent Orange exposure. Agent Orange will bump you to 60% at a minimum. Even if you weren't in Nam, exposure to fire pits still qualifies. -> Important, apply before Trump takes office. Hes stated he intends to stop vets from claiming. Also have your family doctor send a complete list of all you medications over to your VA doctor. You can get all your drugs through the VA at minimal cost (less than Part D policy.) If you’re in priority groups 2 — 8. tier 1 meds are $5 tier 2 meds are $8 tier 3 meds are $11 (Thrse prices are for a 30 day supply, for a 90 day supply multiply by 3) (Priority group 1 is no copay, = 50% disability rating.) If you have a service-connected rating of 40% or less, and your income falls at or below the national income limits, your meds are free. The max copay out-of-pocket is $700 per calendar year.
  20. Id imagine that the 12 hours also included the time the car was on the life draining (must drain every drop) and 4 hours wait to allow the RTV to cure. Not all of that is billable. Honestly I'd go with replacing the pan gasket as the cost is probably minimal while they're down there (and avoids oil drippage on the garage floor.)
  21. Yaaaaaaa, I've had the urge to rip the drivers door off my MKX at times, but so far, I've managed to resist it.
  22. Word of advice. Just don't let your wife know. In 20 years she'll bring it up at the least opportune time.
