OnTheFence Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Hi, So during my recent long road trip with a full Edge I believe something has gotten down inside what I believe are air vents under the front/passenger seats that give air flow to the rear passengers? I hear something probably about the size of a bottle cap rolling side to side during turns, I do not hear it going back and forth. It sounds as though it's inside the car as I've already removed everything from the side pockets and such. So I'll spare you a rant on why the hell Ford wouldn't have a screen over those openings and ask if anyone knows more about them than me? I've considered one of those flexible cameras that I can fish down there and see if anything shows up, but they are around 100 bucks, which I imagine Ford would charge me to troubleshoot it anyway. My friend has a magnet on a flexible shaft, so I'll try to get that in there and see if whatever it is, responds to magnetism. In the meantime here's a blurry cell phone pic, hope it helps.

Cellbine Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Oh man, that sounds rough. I was going to suggest curiously strong magnets to get the job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eatinitup Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Had this same exact issue but under the driver seat on my Edge.. Turns out it was from a day of fishing. One of my buddies thought it would be OK to just drop his line weight in my floor board. They are circular weights to it rolled into that air vent area... I heard it for about 1 day, until I couldn't handle it anymore.. On the way home to start ripping everything apart, my wife giggled and said, PUNCH THIS BAD BOY AND GET ON HER, maybe that weight will roll out of the vent.. Needless to say, I punched stella, and that damn weight rolled out and into the floorboard.. Fixed my problem! Give it a try. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnTheFence Posted September 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 Just to close this out, turns out I was incorrect nothing had fallen down the under the seat vents. I borrowed a friends flex camera and fished it down there and there's no chamber down there just basically a tube to the front HVAC. So I got annoyed enough to decide and take everything loose out of the car before I took it to the dealer. As I was taking the crap out of the center console I lifted up the little tray at the bottom and apparently a metal tire pressure gauge had gotten underneath that, somehow. It used the console like an echo chamber as it sounded much louder than a small tire gauge rolling side to side. Lesson's learned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
