    • Running the coolant flush for only 10 mins would not have warmed up enough to open the thermostat and you should set the cabin heating to MAX for it to circulate through it.
    • I have a question. The other day I wanted to do a coolant flush on my 2019 ST. The car was purchased now and currently has 103k miles. It's been a perfectly flawless vehicle.   At the 1st coolant service, I had the Ford dealer flush and re-fill. They swapped out the original orange colored coolant for a green colored coolant.    Now I see that the latest Ford coolant is yellow colored, so that's what I purchased.    I found the drain (boy what a fun job it is getting access to THAT!!) and drained the old coolant.  I then added a coolant flush with distilled water and let the car come up to temperature. I ran this for the specified interval (10 minutes) and drained again.   The liquid coming out was mostly clear so I filled the tank with the new, yellow colored coolant and brought the engine back up to temperature.    I let the car cool down over-nite and in the morning the tank was a bit low, so I topped it off.   But what caught my eye was the coolant reverted back to a solid green color.    Did I miss a step in my probess and possibly not get all the old coolant out?   Thanks for any advice or direction.   RPG  
    • Just FYI:  I went and did a SW update via Ford website once and it took something like 9 hours to complete the update so, maybe, 45 minutes was not long enough.  Just a thought.   You said others got this sync3 working when they replaced their sync2.   - Did they go into any detail showing exactly what they did and what parts they used, IE;  maybe they used a combination of different cables or something.   And then, of course the more obvious question:     Are you sure the unit from the 2017 Ford Escape was actually working correctly before you removed it from the Escape?
    • I have tried to do the apim test on forscan, for some reason it gives me an incapable communication error and stops it's self, yes I can see most of that except the total distance on the module side of forscan, enough tho it shows my vin and not the escapes vin 
    • I don't for a fact, only assuming rn, there were other people on another forum that did the exact same thing as I'm doing, but they got there's to work. I could see them not being compatible, because the edge has 2 screens in the cluster where the escape has only one but idk if that would make a difference or not. I agree I'm not not sure what it's not talking to. When I configure the apim to my car I don't get any errors but if I leave it to the stock escape I have configuration errors. it's just like it doesn't want to turn on. I've edited the steering wheel control module, the audio control module and bcm and gotten no change, and not sure what else I need to change, I will do some research on the part number and see if it cross references to the edge. I've searched how to reset it can't really do to much without the sw control front audio controls or the screen. I also went to the Ford website and downloaded the sync 3 update, stuck the USB in to see if it would update automatically, waited 45 minutes to an hr and got nothing as well
    • update: I found something I missed last time. There is a "check auto lock" 1 thru 5. I disabled them all. Now all is back to what I wanted. No double honk on exit of cabin with keys. Double click for panic alarm No auto lock and no seatbelt chime for driver and passenger. We will see how long this lasts.    
    • Greetngs all, I have a 2019 ST, app 70,000 miles. This is my 3rd Edge, first 2 were Titaniums and both were totaled by idiot drivers. This one is by far the favorite, started making a odd knocking sound in rifght rear only when taking off and in right turn, does not do it id left turn. Anyone else experience this? Guess it will go to shop next week.
    • Thanks, I've heard the stock location is on top of the cluster, I wonder if it really is that.  How would I remove the cluster shroud to do that?  I don't use the SYNC 3 nav either I use CarPlay but even this compass issue is affecting that as it shows me going the wrong way, then recalculates, it's a pain.
    • The PCM theory is an even deeper rabbit hole vs the unknown condition of the spark plugs and coils.   2 rounds of plugs and coils of uncertain origin and quality = 2 rounds of uncertainty. Not having a reliable code reader is the reason why your diagnostics is floundering leaving you to guess and assume.   Use the free app Forscan Lite which will work with many but not all OBDII adapters, even many of the cheap OBDII adapters.   Amazon.com: vgate vLinker FD Plus OBD2 Adapter Bluetooth BLE Scanner for FORScan, Work with iPhone, Android, and Windows : Automotive
    • I would say it's a definite possibility.  Did you ever look up how a PCM operates?   https://www.ryansautomi.com/articles/what-is-the-pcm-on-a-ford-edge.html   https://duckduckgo.com/?ia=web&origin=funnel_home_website_headlinesafari_control&t=h_&q=how+does+the+PCM+in+a+Ford+Edge+work&chip-select=search
