You can only turn it off until the vehicle is restarted either through the menu or the button. Thats by design, otherwise the EPA won’t use it during fuel economy testing. As for increased wear on turbos, that’s hogwash.

2013 Edge Limited staying on after radio swap

First rule of troubleshooting- undo whatever you did and go from there. Probably got some wires crossed.- 1 reply

Sunroof auto close
akirby replied to Oldone88's topic in Glass, Lenses, Lighting, Mirrors, Sunroof (BAMR), Wipers
It stops and forces you to hold it to close it as a safety measure. It doesn’t have a pinch sensor to stop it from closing on a body part. -
$100/month for how many months? Sounds super expensive especially for partial coverage. And good luck getting them to agree to cover something. 3rd parties are notoriously difficult. That’s why we all recommend only Ford warranties ( or better yet keep the money in your pocket).

Not true at all. It saves about 5% on average and I’ve noticed the difference when mine stops working. They’ve upgraded the battery and the starter to handle the added wear. You may not like it but it’s definitely not a scam.

When you charge it you have to put the negative cable on the body not on the battery. That way the charging goes through the battery sensor.

Are you sure it’s engine oil?

Works fine for me.

It was hidden so I unhid it. Try again.

The alternator output is variable and controlled by the PCM so it may not be constant.

Battery Saver, Check Charging System
akirby replied to Shane Bogart's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
Did you reset the battery monitor when you replaced the battery? If it’s really dead then you either have a parasitic draw or you’re not driving it enough to keep it charged. -
Steering wheel rocker switches

I would not assume the clock spring is functioning normally. -
Someone mentioned this might be a good replacement for both Fusion and Edge buyers. How would you guys feel about it?

Annoying Noise From Front Passenger Area
akirby replied to smac's topic in Brakes, Chassis & Suspension
I have the same problem when taking corners briskly, driving more than 5 miles over the limit or speeding up to make it through a yellow light. I thought about getting rid of it but that would cost me half of everything I own. ?? -
Sync 4 fixed that on our Nautilus - it’s on the small inset screen.

Yes it’s normal and yes it can be added if you can find one. At least that used to be the case. They started deleting them a few years ago.

Just FYI - it’s not a battery light and it doesn’t mean the battery is bad. It’s a check charging system light and it means the alternator isn’t charging the battery properly. It doesn’t mean anything unless the engine is running so fix that first.
