Ignition switched power on 2017 Edge
lildisco replied to blockisle9's topic in Accessories & Modifications
What's too long about it? Is something plugged in? I've had a dash cam plugged in for over a year without an issue draining the battery. Only way I'm aware of to change it is through FORScan. There's also several other things that you can do to change as well. -
Ignition switched power on 2017 Edge

It's not always on. Can't remember how long it stays on (maybe 20 minutes?), but no more than an hour after car is off. Only way to modify is to get an OBD2 adapter & download a free program called FORScan & change the As Built data -

Not that bad actually when i changed it a few months ago. The wife has the car at work so i can't show the difference with a brand new one.

According to Amazon they're 11.9 x 7.6 x 4.5 inches, but it's definitely not 4.5 inches tall, the other 2 #'s seem correct

I think that i have a regular H9 bulb (no extreme or silver stars) for nearly 2 years in my '16 SEL. My only regret is why didn't i do it sooner? Benefits are more usable light. I've had H9's installed for several road trips where the bulb was on for hours & never noticed any bad effects.

Yup

Definitely installed a Non Carbon, OEM Cabin Air Filter, Motorcraft FP-71. Only difference this year was the price. It went up about $5 for the same thing as last year. $20.51 shipped from Amazon

Official Release of V3.0 for SYNC3 Has Begun

Lolololololololol, when most people can use Waze, Google Maps & Car Play for nearly free & charge $150? Wow.... I'm assuming that this requires a dealer visit or is it done via WiFi?

My calipers haven't been replaced, but I've replaced my front rotors & pads & just the pads on the rear of my 16 SEL, rotors are OEM. Only reason for replacement, was the excessive amounts of brake dust within a few hundred miles. Brake Dust was so bad that it was nearly like an oil like fluid all over each wheel. Replaced all 4 with ceramic pads & get virtually 0 brake dust or if i do get brake dust, it usually just blows off with a pressure washer. Rear rotors still look like new with just over 24,000. Dealers sometimes aren't the best choices, just depends on the dealer/service person. I'd recommend replacing the rears with a good aftermarket brand like Centric & decent pads. While the caliper is off, I'd clean the slider pins & grease them really good & look for any rust on the piston. Dealer probably turned the rotors or resurfaced them instead of replacing them.

Maybe someone did the door ajar fix & grounded the circuit so that it wouldn't drain the battery or the other related issues... -

Rear brakes won't retract after brake job
lildisco replied to fordedge2's topic in Brakes, Chassis & Suspension
I'm no expert, but sounds the caliper needs to be replaced. Maybe it blew a seal internally when it was pushed back in or a line was kinked during pad replacement. Sucks to buy a new caliper, but that would be my guess. -
If you're still under warranty, that's going to be your best course of action. Another thing could be where you get fuel. Try to stay at Top Tier stations, you'll get to maintain optimal performance & fuel mileage as well as long term benefits. Bad fuel can cause random misfires depending on impurities such as water. We just clicked over 24,000 on our '16 2.0 Ecoboost & haven't experienced any random misfires. We always go to Top Tier stations such as Exxon/Mobil & BP.

Have you tried shifting into Sport Mode for quicker take off situations? I do it all the time & it quickens the throttle response & shifting. The 'lag' you describe is purely tuning. Also, there's plenty of power with out mashing the gas pedal to the floor. Try sport mode & 50% to 75% throttle. I bet you'll be impressed. It's very hard to get out of the habit of mashing the gas to pull out of a merge or pulling out into traffic situations, but if you do change a little on how you drive, things work out much better for you. Also the current sport is twin turbo'd so there could also be a bit of 'lag' as well from certain takeoff situations, but once the awd kicks in (which is nearly all the time) it should straightened itself out, same goes for the 2.0 awd.

some would say that I went over board with replacing all 4 pads & the front Rotors on a year old vehicle, but I believe piece of mind, better stopping power & MUCH MUCH MUCH less brake dust, is worth it. Plus with the wife making a few highway 70-80mph to 5mph stops over the summer & no warpage, it definitely makes me feel better.

I see nothing called collector. I see something called a separator, which basically does what i said above.

Where are these diagrams? I looked under the hood & through the owners manual & a Google search & couldn't find them. My assumption would be that what's connected to the PCV. Where it collects all of the gunk & nastiness & then the pcv releases it back into the intake at certain times. If you're in mobile mode, you'll have to use the full site version to add a pic. There's usually an option on the bottom left of the screen to use the full site & then when you reply you'll see an option to attach a photo.
