  1. Year & Model? I find that mine, not factory setup 2020 SEL AWD, comes on when parking lights are on when the doors open or close & stay on for a few seconds after the doors close then go off. That's probably due to the aftermarket trailer wiring kit, Curt, that ties into the the drivers side Taillight with a plug & play harness. I'm not sure about the OEM setup, but I imagine that it's similar.
  2. Stayed home from work to not spread the germs. Worked from home till about 2 & then decided to throw the winter rubber on our 2020 SEL AWD. Had some free time time to undercoat or touch up the undercoating with Fluid Film. Oil life monitor is at 55%, so it's teasing me. If the weather is decent enough tomorrow, I'll clean the summer rubber & then hit it with McKee's 37 Hydro Blue before storage.
  3. Winter Rubber installed on our 2016 SEL. General Tire Altimax 365. Rides about the same as the summer rubber, maybe a little softer ride, only have ~15 miles on them. Also did an oil change while I was at it & drained the Catch Can. OLM was at 49%. Also touched up the winter Undercoating. Only took about 3 cans since there's already a build up of the stuff now. Battling a cold, so it took me a bit longer than normal to complete.
  4. Bought these last year & have 1 mild Ohio winter on them with my 2020 AWD. General Tire Altimax 365. Local tire store recommended them & they've never sold me a bad set, in 15+ years of using them. Didn't get much snow last year so I didn't have the ability to really try them out. The OEMs left me stuck in my mom's driveway when it was below 0 out & I decided that's the last winter for them after 2 years & under 20,000 miles. Don't really have a complaint, except for the price $190/tire. They do have a $100 rebate right now till the 31st. It was also time for winter wheels on our 2016 SEL Fwd this year, so the local tire store also recommended these. https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=General&tireModel=AltiMAX+365+AW&partnum=46HR8AM365&vehicleSearch=true&fromCompare1=yes&autoMake=Ford&autoYear=2016&autoModel=Edge FWD&autoModClar=SEL
  5. They're sensitive. Assuming that you're referring to 14v while running? What's the battery like when the car isn't running for awhile? You're also checking 1/2 the battery, voltage is 1 thing, but amps are another. Assuming that your car hasn't had the battery changed since new, you're fast approaching a replacement. My 2020 started showing signs of a weak battery when the start / stop function quit working. I've now been putting it on a trickle charger when not in use & everything has been working fine on the original battery. I suggest replacing the battery as well as resetting the Battery Monitoring System. Sounds like you're not too far away from being stranded.
  6. Home Depot having a sale on Fluid Film cans for under $6/can. Just bought out my local Home Depot. In store ONLY https://www.homedepot.com/p/FLUID-FILM-Long-Lasting-Rust-and-Corrosion-Protectant-Lubricant-and-Penetrant-Solvent-Free-Non-Toxic-Non-Hazardous-Lanolin-Based-AS11/311803920?emt_ppq_vfpd
  7. It's sitting ~74,5xx currently, so ~5,500 miles. Shifting seems to be the same, if not a little smother. I don't have any complaints yet. I'd like to see what color it is after another 20k & possibly get an analysis, but that's going to take awhile.
  8. Sounds pretty normal to me. I bought an engine cover to lessen the noise
  9. I have 2 baby blinds in the back to get the Sun out of the kid's eyes. So it makes the back look darker than what it actually is
  10. Pretty sure the rears are 35%, but I could be wrong. I have 35% on my front 2 windows.
  11. What's an aftermarket OEM licensed product? I don't see many manufacturers endorsing another product than OEM, unless it's made by a different company, like Mobil1 & then rebranded as OEM. If you think that I'm arguing with you, I'm not. I'm genuinely curious.
  12. Oh I agree that they're different specs, but I've seen other companies do the same thing
  13. It says Mercon V/LV on the jugs, but are you saying that they didn't actually do the testing to say that?
  14. Booo that stinks. It pops up from time to time. I believe that MacT has reviewed it, but I'm not sure if he's done an analyst of the fluid or not.
  15. Great deal on a 3 pack of LV Fluid. With tax, comes out to ~$18 per jug for me from Amazon: https://a.co/d/1wADj8f
