That's a good point. I know on my wife's old CX9, the light cutoff stepped down from right to left (US) as to reduce blinding oncoming traffic on the left side of the car. UK being on the (wrong) other side of the road would need the opposite.

I'm actually surprised a 1/2" (12.7mm) wrench doesn't fit just right if the 12mm is too small and 13mm is too large. I've used a cresent wrench and resorted to a pipe wrench at one time. Vice grips work as well. If you turn each side equal amounts, you should still be pretty darn close to...

I think the title is still accurate. Both pumps failed, but it was due to wiring. The OP could update the title to reference the wiring: "Fuel pumps failed due to wiring." or something like that.

Try pulling the serpentine belt and running it again to see if noise disappears. You should be able to run it for a minute or 2 without worrying about the battery dying.

I'm also in the camp of lifter tick, however, I wouldn't say it's normal. Last time I heard lifter tick that loud was when I started the new engine in my old 89 5.0, but it only ticked for about 10 seconds until all the lifters pumped up. If it is a lifter not pumping up, that might not show...

I don't know the TSB, but if you can find that thread, I believe it was posted in there.

There's a TSB for that.

I agree, if they are louvers, oil flow should not be an issue. Very common design across the automotive universe.

I think he's talking about the perforations on the ID, not the end. It's hard to tell though, they might not be straight through, but more like 'louvered' punches.

Not quite the same, but this is an issue with some 5th gen Ford Explorers. There's a switch in the center console that's the issue. The transmission is in park by the cable, but the switch by the shifter doesn't get triggered so the computer doesn't think it's in park. Maybe you have a loose...

If it's normal, ask them what is causing it and why not all CX5's have this 'normal' behavior. Them (windows/sunroof) working separately doesn't explain why it has this issue when combined. Go at them with the 5 why's for determining root cause.

What type of scope did you use? Are you able to swap that injector to another cylinder to verify it follows the injector? Based on your testing, it does seem like a bad injector, but if you can do a quick injector swap and it follows the injector, that would be another confirmed dead injector test.

I agree with the change to 9011. I don't have a CX5, but my 2014 Explorer specs the 9005 bulb for low/high beams. It has the shutter to cut off the top of the beam in low mode. I think I just had to trim half of the top tab off to get the 9011 bulbs to fit. Takes longer to remove the bulb from...

I bet it smell minty too, double win. :)

Yes. 0000 (that's 4 zeros) steel wool. Very fine. I did the outside of my windows to get little bits of debris and some water spots off the surface. I did it wet using the car wash soap I had in the bucket, but any cleaner/soap should work for light lubrication. If you have aftermarket window...

For the comment about trade vs. sell to dealer, maybe it was worth the offset. When I bought my Edge in January, it was better for me to sell my previous vehicle to Carmax than trade it in at the Edge selling dealer (I didn't buy from Carmax), even with the tax break for trading in. I tried to...

I agree that phone goes in front pocket. I don't wear skinny jeans, so no issues with space/sitting down. Plus, I would think a phone on the back pocket would be worst for sitting. I'm also a front pocket wallet guy. Phone left, wallet right. While it's not a CX5 fob, my Edge key fob is a bit...

If it's completely stock engine, stick to OEM or OEM type replacement air filters....or at least stay away from K&N. Filtering efficiency on them is terrible and they plug up much faster than OEM type. You will not see any performance/economy increase....unless the current filters is severely...

It's been a while since I used it, but I think I had to run the fault code scan while driving the vehicle. It would cycle through scanning the different parameters and then repeat over and over. I think it took a few minutes to cycle through all the parameters and then restart the scan. After...
