Hey John I replaced my spindle and the noise is completely gone. It could have been a bad wheel bearing or a bent spindle. I’ll never know but it’s the best $70 i’ve ever spent. 

Hi, I'm Doug, new to the group. The reason I joined, I'm having trouble with rear windows on this car. Ive ohmed #48 fuse, says good. They work occasionally, but its brief. Even if that #48 ohms good, could that circuit brkr/fuse still be bad? Anybody else had any trouble?

Can the seat heaters come on when you use the key fab to auto start on a 2017 MKX Reserve

Not sure if you found the problem, I don’t have much insight to your problem but I will suggest checking out the Ford edge forums. They are frequented by more users and the vehicles are very much the same and use many of the same parts and are afflicted by many of the same problems. I also have a 2016 MKX and generally find more info there than on this one. Though I do check in every now and then. PS.  The under dash fuse box is a PIA even for a 40yo lol. Not sure what genius came up with that location. 

Your "noise/vibration" is exactly what I was getting from my 2011 MKX.  When I test drove it, it had engine misses and I thought, I'll replace the plugs: end of story. It was not!  I had it in two different garages and both times, charged roughly $150 to learn nothing.  This has been almost 2 years with nothing new, except this rotation/vibration. The other day, I noticed that on making left hand turns, under power.... there was no vibration.  I checked the transmission fluid level, discovered that fluid was down a full quart.  Topped it up.  Vibration 95-97% gone.   I expect it will get better as I drive it more.

I can’t believe that I just discovered this today and have no idea where the lens fell off.  It is clear that the sealant is dry rotted.  Lights still work but having trouble finding just the plastic lens cover.  2017 Lincoln MKX

Hello everyone. Hope everyone here is having a great day and enjoying their MKX.  I’ve got an issue with my lincoln MKX and I’m hoping to get some thoughts on this from you guys. I have a 2018 Lincoln MKX 3.7 AWD 17K miles on it. I bought it wrecked and fixed it up. Now when i drive it I can hear and feel a vibration as i accelerate. It sounds exactly like a very bad tire. I put the car on 4 jack stands and the feel is still there but barely noticeable because the wheels are in the air. I was thinking it could be a bad wheel bearing at first but the wheel bearing sounds more like a constant noise as if you’ve got the window cracked. Mine has the sound and feel of a rotation. Something’s rotation is being felt through my pedal, wheel and seat. I’ve also tried putting it in neutral and shifting gears manually but that didn’t change a thing. So now i’m ruling out transmission as the fluid is pink and smells fine and its shifting normal with no issues. It can’t be the driveshaft because when i was under the car i tried to wiggle and spin it around, but it was pretty solid and only had the normal amount of play. Also, if the drive shaft was bad the whole car would shake like crazy so that was rules out. I’m leaning more towards a bad ptu unit but it’s got no leaks when inspected. I took the upper screw and it had metal shavings on the magnet. I cleaned it up and drained it and got about 12oz out of it and topped it till the upper bolt started leaking so it should be full. I drove it and still got the same problem. I don’t wanna replace the ptu unit unless it is the cause of this vibration and humming. It’s not a very easy process to replace the ptu unit nor it is cheap. What are your thoughts on this? Has anyway had a similar issue? Any advice of where I should start?
