This is on my spring to do list. HAZ, do you have access to the wiring diagram that will give me the part number for the female connector? Is is C4044, left rear damper solenoid. Thanks

We added the hood blanket and engine cover to our 2019 SEL. It made a noticeable, but not dramatic decrease in sound. The 2 liter is pretty noisy. Not the engine itself, but the air intake design is bad and causes a lot of high pitch noise. Ford says it is not a defect. Knowing what I know now, I would still add the two parts if I bought an Edge without them.

Any update on this. I may want to do the same thing this summer on my ST. In the Beefnuts video, what is the red brace in the cargo area?

So far so good. I cleared the DTC an it has not come back.

Got the check engine light. Found the P0461-00:AC from the PCM P0461-C from OBDII. The Status says, DTC maturing-intermittent at time of request. I will clear the codes and see what happens. Hopefully it is a glitch in the system, not a problem in the making.

I gave up on the Ford parts, both original and updated. I use TOGGLER TC wall anchors. I cut off enough of the vertical fins, that help grab drywall, to allow the toggle to go through a 3/8 inch fender washer. I hot glued 1" OD x 1/2" tall x 1/2" ID nylon spacers (McMaster #94639A876) to the inside of the covers. I inserted the toggler where the old Ford part was and then used the toggler tool to set the toggle. I did this two years ago and all are sill holding strong.

I am pretty sure I got the Advanced Auto version of these. I ended up having to shave a milometer of plastic off the ends of the two engagement thingies. (not sure what they called) YMMV

That makes sense. I guess you need a bigger freezer. 😀

Maybe you could try holding some ice cubes over the camera area of the windshield. Or just block it with a post it note. I am not sure what causes the heater to be activated, but blocking the camera is a good start. John

Did you have to do anything in Forscan, or did this work just by plugging it in?

I don't think this is available on my 2019 ST. I wonder if it could be turned on with Forscan?

There is a slight chance that the rear license plate is loose. I had a rattler that only happened at higher speeds. I did not figure it out until the plate almost fell off. The Ford capture nuts are not very good. It is easy to over tighten and break them.

I can confirm a couple of things with regard to getting a new key, if you only have one key. The dealer van just left and the new remote is working perfectly. The cheap ebay remotes work fine. At least for my 2019. https://www.ebay.com/itm/383672810625 They are not Ford parts, but very good knockoffs. As dabansta says above. A used remote can be reprogrammed. Total cost $123 for the key and programming. Much better then the $300+ the dealer wants.

Does the third key have to be new, or can a used key be used. In my case the used key would be from an edge of the same year.

I used to put the Silverstar Ultras on my Edge company cars. Much better then OEM. An absolute no brainer IMHO.
