						Welcome. It's the first I hear of this here on the forum, so makes me question the diagnostics that led to all those parts being replaced - might want to consider a different mechanic/service shop.

						You need a T155/70R18 sized tire, a wheel (KT4Z1015A) which is sized 18" x 4", 5 Lug, 4.25" Bolt Pattern, and the jack with components. From the attached diagram, you only need the jack, mounting stud, wing nut and wrench so that it is secured in the well. The mini spare became an option around the 2021 model year. For some reason, Ford included the mini spare with some new Edges, but charged $100 (see the attached window sticker.) It was not included at all on others. I would search your local salvage yards for these items. Be careful that you find the 18-inch tire and wheel, not the 17-inch combination. Since the model refresh in 2015, these items have remained the same, so there should be plenty of availability. windowsticker.pdf

						I don't see any recent updates either, although my 22 ST has never had this camera issue.

						By Tucson Bob · Posted Every gas fill-up there is a very strong Gas smell near the rear and drivers side near filler tube. Smell pretty much stops when the gas level get down 3/4 of a tank. Shop says the gas tank had leak so we replaced fuel tank and fuel pump for $2500. This did not solve gas smell problem. We replaced the Purge Valve, and entire EVAP system. Still has gas smell. My mechanic can't figure it out. They did smoke test and could not locate any leaks. Has anybody experienced this? Any potential solutions? Only thing left we thought might be filler tube?

						Hi Caden, that is great news! Can you elaborate a bit more on how the wiring needs to be done/modified so that the live in drive functionality of the paddle shifters is activated. I added the wiring from the paddle shifters and can confirm they work and are wired correctly, but only when M(anual) gear is selected with the shifter. They mimic the function of the +- knob which is on the shifter and is only active when in M. I compared and followed the wiring diagrams for Edge Sport 3.7 and Explorer Limited 3.5 and only got this far. Any further info would be much appreciated. Thanks. Vlad

						By fletcher969 · Posted OK, I created the new post, and edited the surviving post so they make a little more sense. I left a "..." filler where the merged post was. Thanks!!

						By fletcher969 · Posted Hi all, As the title indicates, this is NOT the same loud tapping+rattle noise I previously posted about recently in another thread in this forum. The tapping described in this post only became evident AFTER that noise was fixed. Given how many people complain about EcoBoost tapping noises, and I've experienced two different varieties, I thought this solution might be worth sharing. Here's the tapping noise to which I'm referring in this post: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QP4IAkaUk_68z3KxZwLQGhBsyfpaeFzx/view?usp=sharing Anyway, at the time of purchase this engine was pretty quiet for an EcoBoost engine based on the several I've heard. About 2 months ago the engine very quickly developed a loud tapping noise with some metallic rattling that ultimately was determined to be a failing HPFP (fuel pump) which was replaced by the dealer. There's an audio of that in my other post if you're interested. That fixed, the engine still had a loud tapping noise coming from the back driver's side of the engine, so I decided to see if I could pinpoint it with a stethoscope. Long story not-so-long, everything was pretty quiet, including the intake side cover and the HPFP until I touched the steth to the exhaust-side valve cover at Cylinder #1 (i.e. passenger side) where I heard the tapping noise; however, the injectors are on that side, so I considered those as a potential source. The noise got louder at Cylinder #2, but when I listened to the cover over #3 & #4 the sound was MUCH louder. At some point I touched the steth to the high pressure fuel line, and it was the same sound, same frequency, just a whole lot louder in the steth despite being silent to the naked ear. I thought about that for a couple of days, noticed something the umpteenth time I looked the engine over that I hadn't noticed before, and I formed a hypothesis: The high pressure fuel line was resonating inside the valve cover. I wondered what had changed, because again, the engine was quiet before the HPFP replacement. So what had I noticed? Turns out on this version of the 2.0L the HPFP was moved from the end of the exhaust side to the same end of the intake side, and in this configuration part of the high pressure fuel line passes over the exhaust-side valve cover where it is anchored to the top of the cover using a bracket and a bolt...over the #3 & #4 cylinders. There's a second bracket on the intake side, but it wasn't noisy there, so I didn't bother. I removed the exhaust side bolt (and noted it was really easy to loosen), and carefully and barely separated the bracket from the cover, had my GF start the engine, and the loud tapping noise was gone. I was correct - the fuel line was resonating inside the valve cover. My final assessment was that whenever the tech replaced the HPFP, he necessarily had to loosen and detach the fuel line brackets, but when he put everything back together, he forgot to torque the exhaust-side bracket bolt. As it loosened it allowed the bracket and bolt to vibrate at the same frequency as the HPFP fuel line, and that was transferred to and resonated inside the valve cover. Once I reinstalled the bolt and tightened everything down properly, no vibration, no noise. So, if for whatever reason you hear a tapping noise resonating from your valve cover, follow the high pressure fuel line, and make sure the bolts used to secure same are torqued tight. It could be a cheap and easy fix to an annoying, expensive-sounding problem.

						Based on a thread over on FB, it sounds like the recall SW fix is now available. "My hybrid went in for an oil change and the service advisor told me the recall update just came in today and he will be updating my vehicle." "Just got to work and recall remedy did just come out this morning"

						Thanks for the link. Ordered mine tonight for my 2024 Edge. I use computer service tools for work, but decided this was easier for me. There might be other things I'd be tempted to toggle off, but this is the only one that is on my priority list currently.
