    As far as I know, you'll need to reprogram any set to work for your vehicle any time they are installed, though I might have read somewheres some people only replace their winter wheels without needing to reprogram. But, I also remember that the in-wheel TPMS don't work with vehicles that came with valve mounted TPMS sensors. Also, I am not sure Explorer wheels fit the Edge as the have a different offset.

    Just some ideas, check the hood switch & make sure it's connected properly. Do you have a problem with shift to park message from the shifter? If yes, it might be related.

    From the owners manual: "Your oil change service interval can be up to one year or 10,000 miles (16,000 km)." So the maximum is 10K miles. 70% would mean after 7K miles. Personally, due to our extremely high temps, I set it to 50% & get the reminder at 5K miles (8K km) as recommended by Ford in our region.

    No way to do it your self without the Admin key as far as I know. Your dealer should be able to do it for you. I suggest you take it to your dealer & have them erase the missing key & program a new key so you get 2 keys. Since you seem to have purchased it from a dealer, maybe you can negotiate them to give you a free key or get a good deal on a new one. E-bay also offer a lot used & new keys & they are relatively cheap, but have to be programmed by a dealer or a locksmith since you only have 1 key available now.

    Is the one with the whiter lights the same Edge with more options? If yes, it then probably has HID lights also.

    From previous models, the radar camera is hidden behind panel in the left lower grille. Looking at 2015 Edge Sport photos, it seems the panel is already there for all, even though they still don't have Adaptive Cruise Control. See attached photo where I mean it is located. In other words, I don't believe there will be any difference from the outside between models with & without Adaptive Cruise.

    I had the same feeling at first, but when summer came (temperature reaching 100+ from May to October & peaking 120+), you WILL feel the difference.

    Yes. They seem to be the same size. Another interestingt thing I found was that the Motorcraft filter is made in Japan & the TYC in Taiwan. Nothing written on the ATP.
  9. omar302
    If you look at the ATP vs. TYC picture, you can see how the pleats are shorter in the ATP filter as it has larger/wider bezels.

    Added some images taken yesterday hoping to make things clear. Note: The first one is an "unscientific" comparison showing the Moorcroft Filter more transparent, hence less restrictive in my opinion.

    Thinking out loud, since the tailgate has sensors or a mechanism to detect obstacles when closing/opening for safety, the obstacle detection system would probably take into consideration the weight of the tailgate while closing/opening. On level ground, the power tailgate would be holding its weight all the way from fully open to closed position. While on a steep uphill incline, imagine how the tailgate would reach a position while closing that the weight being held up is significantly reduced prompting the obstacle detection to sense a safety issue.

    From my experience, I used ATP's carbon (charcoal) cabin air filter & found that air flow is less compared to the Motorcraft filter. TYC's normal (non-charcoal) filter also had more air flow, but the filter surrounding (bezel?) is thick, like ATP's, the filter door has 2 or 3 plastic protruding pieces that are supposed to hold the filter in place when you close the filter door. With the thicker filter surroundings of the TYC & ATP filters, the filter door would actually squeeze the filter in instead of holding it in place. If you look at the filter from the top, you might even see the filter bending becaus of it.

    The new Edge has channels on the sides of the windshield presumably to collect water & prevent it from sweeping to the side windows, I would suspect that water draining down those channelsago directly to the A pillar seams.

    I know this might be irrelevant, but with the THX sound system, the setting never changes from its set position, stereo or surround. Those facing this issue, does it happen immediately or after a few days? Can you test sometimes? Please set the phone & message ringers to "text to speech", does also reset to the default ringer after a few days? I suspect that some settings are always resetting to their defaults after the system restarts every few days. Like the ambient light settings which was then fixed later with software upgrade.

    The brake hose is supposed to be used to apply the sealant, maybedue to the tight space & ensuring the sealant reaches the correct place.

    In my opinion (not experience) regarding this issue: 2) It would not be covered under the extended APIM warranty since the warranty is on the APIM itself. 3) No idea, but would be surprised if it wasn't plug & play. It is only a button part of the complete panel, wouldn't expect them to change the panel connections. 4) Ebay? try searching for a used one? 5) I don't think it would need programming, because it is only a panel with capacitive buttons. Also, since it is a capacitive button, did you try cleaning the button? maybe there is some residue on it that is causing it to activate when heated up? I have also 2 listings on E-bay for a used panel, but they are missing the bezel with the actual hazard switch, so it is detachable for sure: http://www.ebay.com/itm/191569664793 http://www.ebay.com/itm/361315935867

    Remember that the OEM windshield is SoundScreen, a model that has sound insulation sandwiched between the laminated panels. So if your getting something else, it migh not have the same sound isolation.

    Not trying to defend Ford, but your personal one time experience should not affect your work decisions. It would be unfair for your workplace.
  19. omar302
    limited & Sport models in addition to the Lincoln MKX have Laminated front side windows for additional sound insulation. SE & SEL have regular side windows.

    There is TSB 12-3-3 regarding the tailgate that might be related.

    Before going to the dealer, I would suggest replacing the wiper switch as suggested in the 2nd post. The switch is only for ~$30. http://m.ebay.com/itm/111697230173

    I have a 2011 MKX, which is quite different from the new 2015 Edge. But it so happens that it is the same, I can only open them & not close. The feature are called by Ford "Global Open" & "Global Close". But I do remember reading that the 2015 Edge only has global open & only for the front windows, which is a bummer because the '13+ Fusion (on which the '15 Edge is based on) has Global Open & Close on all 4 windows. It also has Auto up/down windows on all 4 doors.

    It seems then it is something a dealer should fix. That is not normal. My guess would be a programming issue. Go to a different dealer or contact the Ford Service representative in the Forum (Tricia): http://www.fordedgeforum.com/user/29146-fordservice/

    The Auto or Manual selections should be after you select "Climate Control". Press the right button or "ok" to enter "Climate control", then you should have the options "Auto" & "Manual". Is remote start even enabled? Can you start remote start your car? Do you have "System" among the categories? Make sure it is checked (to enable it).
  25. omar302
    Do you mean you cannot select Auto or Manual? Or you cannot set the values? Selecting Auto will let the system determine the AC settings on remote start. Manual setting means the last setting the AC was at when you turned the car off. You cannot set a pre-defined manual value. Examples when having set to Manual: 1) you have the AC off, turned off your car, when remote starting the AC will be off. 2) You had the AC set to Auto - 70 degrees, turned off your car, when remote starting the AC will be on Auto - 70 degrees. Refer to this section for Auto setting details: http://www.fordservicecontent.com/Ford_Content/vdirsnet/OwnerManual/Home/Content?bookCode=O27061&languageCode=en&marketCode=US&viewTech=IE&chapterTitleSelected=G1676027&subTitleSelected=G1676045&topicHRef=G1547516&div=f
