Edge rough idle and engine mount issue

I'm hoping someone can give me some insight. I've got a 2011 Ford Edge, gasoline engine, with about 90,630 kilometers on it. I'm getting an error in the memory and also some pretty rough, uneven idling. I suspect it is the engine mount. I checked the cable and plug connection, and it appears to be defective. Has anyone else experienced this? How bad is this?

Yep, sounds like a classic motor mount issue with the Edge. I had a similar thing happen. What makes you think it's the cable or plug connection, though?

Thanks for the quick response! Well, the engine mount itself looks alright visually, no obvious cracks or tears. But the connector to whatever sensor is on there is a bit loose and corroded. Did yours look similar before you sorted it out?

Ah, gotcha. Mine wasn't the connector, the rubber mount itself was visibly shot. But if the connector is dodgy, that could definitely be the culprit. I'd get it checked out professionally, could be something simple. For me, I ended up at the workshop and the mounting bracket was changed. It cost me 95€.

Appreciate the info! I'll definitely take it to a shop. Turns out it was the connector, just like I suspected! New connector and all is well.
