You can't fix electroplating! This is why there are + ground systems.

NEVER!!! Everything except the brake pads and tires and wiper bladesare OE on the 08 Edge!

Disc Brake squeal lets one know the brakes are working and there is no charge for those features. (joke)

You might look at the battery terminals replace as nessary. A bad chassis ground or the PLUS side of the battery to the power distribution box would cause the problem you described. Those originate at the battery in most cases. Your charging system appears to good, according to your readings. As a side note, take your high RPM readings with ALL of the electrical load. A/C on ,fan on high, bright lights, etc. or 1/2 volt or so above the resting voltage about 12.8 volts.

I would search for a loose/bad ground.

@razziel24 it looks great. The work you did might not please all but, if you like it, it is great.

I used to keep a supply of window/door switches in my tool box. The first thing I would do was to substitute my switch for theirs. The window motors on the rear doors, would "weld" the brushes to the armature and lock-up. So, exercise those rear windows from time to time to prevent that problem.

If your fuel additive does not have PEA in it, your, shall we say, "urinating into the wind". As far as oil, I would point you to Lake Speed jr.'s video on Valvoline's Protect and Restore engine oil. To go deeper, find his comparisons of oil tests too. Did not realize there was a pun till I proof read it.

Get the poly hockey pucks that fit your jack/stand. ONLY jack at the spots in the owner's manual.

I have 285 35 22s on my ST. Check out my "Black Mamba" in my profile.

What brand of tires and what is the DOT code on the tire? It appears so one likes to drive what some would consider a little "sporty". The shoulder wear (both sides) indicates where the steel belt ends. If it was a toe problem, the edges of all of the tread blocks would have a feathered edge on one side. But, the pics indicate small chunks are being shed while at high steering angles. In the top image it appears that a little extra wear is indicated by the right side being a little more worn than the left. That would indicate about half a degree of extra camber to that side, providing that is about 12 K miles in normal conditions on that tire. Gary

I think he is referring to Lane Keeping. I have turned it off because I drive the car, not the computer.

@Davidoo, I also have a 22 ST too. As you stated confusion exists but I will help you. Our RDUs have a drain plug and a fill plug and the tranny has a drain and fill plug too. AS for no lift, I used 4 ramps https://www.amazon.com/RhinoGear-11912-RhinoRamps-Vehicle-Ramps/dp/B0117EESNC/ref=sr_1_4?crid=R9MRLD01WYW4&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.4okd22uK9UE4fyiUUj08Slo6FXaiQHl7CDfDtOe6sUfcGRBJAgsX8MqPngrm9kJj4_3k1CFA6Tj8lj_S6e8kSUuSTfKfL3gifNAavPsy5QjQ8d7glVtjxGhLRXcCP5xovssfsIUDvyJ4RNRBKRRV7a7v0DqBTpW18rGk--538kcq-1PGrilqWVhHZfyIYVigRFrCLV_D8o756fLxqh10yHiJWildoqkhEio7Lu-oe1u3RCq-jffBN70GoWrpAU-YpLRZ3mWX2xMWnG01UCtJdanexSTKHq_awTxbnnfHug7tSZt43yLO8t8X8Ox5CDqcKOvO3NIVLqVk2cWpT9jm35ooQ3sB5zbEurysBH27zblI8fy18LW8xriFy3MuRQUnoUYKv5_n5Y_OVCdb9bA4TuXlUaXChZ9w9mkW_Dcj7k6KTmg84ncSQ3S2RLWiyFHr.ey3DhlG06_05QhLU4ioQXHO0ZfYSV2WxTZ0qQ3m43Lg&dib_tag=se&keywords=drive%2Bup%2Bramps&qid=1742655930&sprefix=drive%2Bup%2Bramps%2Caps%2C155&sr=8-4&th=1 to do all my service on a creeper to boot!

My 1st. plan expires @75K miles/ 2028. I just did a RDU service and discovered metallic glitteries! I am not as mobile as I once was. Do we keep the problem and extend the ESP or swap it out for an Exploder ST? I contact my guy with my wallet wide open! He told me keep your $$$ till 73K miles or 6 months before expiration date to renew. Hang onto your money!!! After that experience as well as other folks experience, I why people from across the US do some driving. GL

On my 2008 Edge 3.5L, I replace the spark plugs about every 75K miles. 210K miles now and I should inspect the OE belts.🤣🤣
