Certainly, if the parts can be sourced, they can be replaced. Nobody's dug into the physical layout of the SJB that I know of, though.

Imperial gallon measurement nets 30.9 mpg approx, while in the US, that would be about 25.7 mpg, still very very good!

Correct.

Could be a worn out wheel bearing, probably the left one, but can only tell on a lift. Also manifests as a grind or a howl or a roar. The fact that it happens at high speeds makes me think wheel bearing. Could be a tire also, happens from time to time, can try rotating the tires to see.

The SJB has to be replaced by a dealer or a shop with access to IDS scan tools. I am not saying that it IS the problem, because it could be wiring issues anywhere along the path.

The 2.7L Ecoboost is paired to the 6F55, but towing wise, the restrictions are not dissimilar to other vehicles. The Flex, however, has a rating of 4,500 lbs (same engine/drivetrain as the SHO) with a Class III pkg. The Explorer goes to 5,000 when properly equipped.

The turn signals/hazards are controlled by the SJB, not a relay. Do you have halogens only, or LEDs mixed in also? LEDs in the circuit can cause the SJB to act up. Principles of Operation The smart junction box (SJB) monitors the multifunction switch position by sending multiple voltage reference signals to the multifunction switch. When the multifunction switch is in the LH or RH TURN positions, or the hazard lamp switch is pressed, that input signal is routed to ground. When the SJB receives a request for a turn signal or hazard lamps, the SJB supplies voltage to the appropriate turn lamps. The timed on/off cycle is determined by the SJB and is set to flash approximately 80 times per minute if both the front and rear turn lamps operate correctly. If an individual turn signal lamp is inoperative, the SJB flashes the remaining turn lamp approximately 160 times per minute. Field-Effect Transistor (FET) Protection The SJB utilizes a FET protective circuit strategy for many of its outputs (for example, the headlamp output circuit). Output loads (current level) are monitored for excessive current (typically short circuits) and are shut down (turns off the voltage or ground provided by the module) when a fault is detected. A continuous DTC is stored at that time for the fault. The circuit will then reset after a customer demand of the function (switching the component on, battery saver being energized). When an excessive circuit load occurs several times, the module shuts down the output until a repair procedure is carried out. At the same time, the continuous DTC that was stored on the first failure will not clear by a command to clear the continuous DTCs. The module will not allow this code to be cleared or the circuit restored to normal operation until a successful on-demand self-test proves that the fault has been repaired. After the on-demand self-test has successfully completed (no on-demand DTCs present), the continuous DTC will have been cleared and the circuit function will return. Each circuit has three predefined levels of short circuit tolerance established in the module based on each circuits' capability. When the first or second level is reached, the continuous DTC associated with the circuit sets along with DTC B106E. These DTCs may be cleared using the Clear DTC operation on the scan tool as long as the fault itself has been corrected. If any of the circuits are shorted past the third level, then B106F sets along with the associated continuous DTC. This DTC cannot be cleared and the module must be replaced. The SJB FET protected output circuits for the turn lamp system are for the LH front turn lamp output and the RH front turn lamp output circuits. The rear turn lamps utilize the stoplamp circuitry and are also protected. For additional information regarding the rear stop lamps, refer to Stoplamps in this section.

If you monitor your Edge's vitals with something like Torque Pro, you could do a before/after test using a piece of sturdy cardboard for the "after" portion to block airflow.

Did they try replacing the throttle body? well known problem with the Edge and they even have a TSB for it for the Fusion. Simple fix, and then you get on with your life ...

Depends on the dealer. When I was working through a "mysterious" problem with the Edge, the dealership said they used to have a recorder, but someone stole it and they just never replaced it. And this is one of the biggest dealerships in my area. So not a priority obviously ...

Welcome to the community, and congrats on the impending (if indefinite) arrival! Exciting

Checked codes? Any error messages on the display? The usual culprits are: A) Bad throttle body (may or may not set a code) B] Bad wheel sensor C) Bad TSS/OSS sensors On this forum, you have to have at least 5 posts to use the PM service. FordService (Tricia) is our rep for non-electronics (Sync/MFT/etc) issues.

No comment on looks but probably should move the lights up to that widest chrome strip area so as not to block air flow?

I sure hope so, akirby. Don't want a replay of the infamous Lexus todo, except milder.

NO ... TMI ... SIMPLIFY!!! Seriously, the manuals are real tomes. The ole timey epics ain't got nuttin' on these things.

It certainly doesn't have any give when you push on it with your hands/body weight. Should be interesting!

Fuel economy can actually improve with 93 octane when the PCM can account for it. These EB engines love their octane ...

I hope the 5% is not off the MSRP Be sure to become very familiar with all the options & equipment you SHOULD have on the Edge before you take delivery so you can do your own pre-delivery checklist. Also check the manufacturing date to see if the water leak recall applies and has been corrected. All recalls should be fixed before you take delivery. Take it for a quick spin to make sure it drives well. If you like your vehicles detailed & spic'n'span, don't let them wash the Edge before you take delivery. Arrange with a detailer beforehand so the Edge can be protected from the get-go. You may or may not be a warranty-type person, but if you are going to hold on to the Edge longterm, it's worth looking at & understanding Ford's offering for extended warranties. http://www.factoryplans.com/assets/cms/files/brochure_FordESPPlanOptions.pdf If you like what you see, shop online at Lombards or Flood Ford, get a price and have your dealership match it and roll it into the purchase price. I have had one instance just recently where a MasterTech (aftermarket) warranty has really worked out for the buyer. http://mastertechvpp.com/Files/MT-Brochure-Web.pdf

And look, your gas gauge is rapidly dropping past E

Fortuitous turn of events, in a way, are always welcome Have fun with man v nature. Video update to come on your channel?

Any defects in the lens? They get pitted, yellowed, even cracked over time. Might be moisture building up on the inside due to a seal failure or a crack. Can you post a pic or two so we can see for ourselves?

:waiting: ...

Nope, not at all. They have great grip, but they do have softer tread compound than summer tires and you can feel that little bit of give as you load up the tire (steering/changing direction/banking). There are ultra high performance all season tires where you don't feel the difference from summer tires as much (e.g. continental dws vs michelin pilot super sport), you still feel like you are riding on rails.

Must've finally stuffed some NBA/NHL players into the box.

Do you have the 2.0EB in the Edge? I take it there were no codes set either? A lot of them will not trigger the CEL. Which sensor was it? Bank 2 sensor 1 by any chance?
