Is it turned on in the settings? Maybe change it to high?

There is no zipper. See this thread for more details.

You can hide a fob with the battery removed so the vehicle would not recognize it. Then, when needed, to start the vehicle just insert the fob (without the battery) in the backup slot in the center console and the vehicle will start and run.

This would require him to press the start button without the brake lights on. However, he can't as when of the symptoms he is facing is that the engine is immediately starting with a single press.

From your description, i'd say you have a stuck brake light switch and it was just a coincidence they it happened after plugging the diagnostics tool.

Congrats on your new ride. How is the difference between them?

I am not aware of any. However, I did not look for any, so maybe there is and I don't know about it.

Found this new comparison video:

I never had to try. However, on the private Beta ForScan (this post if you can open it) forum someone with a 2019 Edge confirmed it worked for him. Edit: post is quoted below. Big success today with 2.4.10 and PATS programming 2 new keys for my 2019 Edge. Warning: I take no ownership for anyone following in my footsteps. You're at your own risk. I'm just sharing my experience as there doesn't seem to be a lot of posts about successfully using this feature in the same scenario, except for a post I found on a Mustang forum. _______________________________

You may want to try ForScan as they added BCM/BdyCM "PATS Programming" for erase and program keys function since version 2.3.56 (2023-09-07). I successfully tried PATS programming on older Fords, however, I have a paid license, not sure if it is a requirement for PATS or not.

Given how the RDU has a clutch pack and that it has a "calibration" setting that has to be entered into the PCM after installation, I don't expect it to be serviceable outside a factory.

If your problem is only that the distance to empty (DTE) is showing more miles than before, then that is normal after the battery is disconnected. This is because after a battery disconnect the average mpg used to calculate DTE is reset to a default value. It will then become more realistic after a few fill-ups.

Maybe a initialization will get the sunshade to close in one touch operation? The procedure is attached. Power Roof Opening Panel Initialization.pdf

As described above. However, the shield (sunshade) does close fully in a one touch close. At least it does on my 2016.

*delete* double post.

Actually, the 2016 Edge does show individual Tire Pressures for each wheel. check this video at 5:28: https://youtu.be/th9tmsntRSw&t=5m28s

Normally extended warranties coverages are calculated from the original warranty start date. So make sure that yours starts from the current milage.

May I ask, why change the tensioner or idler?

You need a different dealer. If the issue started just after the transmission repair/replacement, then it is probably something they did wrong. Raise to the Service Manager and also seek an another dealership.

If the key fob is with you, you don't need to unlock the doors first. The button should work even if doors are locked. And yes, they did decontent the rear door intelligent access sensors. Just don't remember which year I personally like the hands free lift gate and I don't have issues with it accidentally opening or closing, maybe a few times only during the ~6 years of ownership.

This, in my opinion, proves that removing it was for cost cutting first. They do state in the disclosure that the information provided might include errors:

You need to change the setting in the settings menu of the left screen. I believe it is under the Display sub menu. Edit: check this video at 11:32: https://youtu.be/th9tmsntRSw&t=11m32s

The DRL only works when in Drive or Reverse, not sure about Neutral. So you have to check it while it is in gear. Also, when the DRL is set to be configurable, as you have done now, the head light switch must be in "Auto".

Do you have any additional information on the BCM Ambient lighting calibration? I don't recall reading this before.

Physically, they probably fit, but they will require some electrical modification. I don't know what. As Gen1 Edge (2007-2010) have a single bulb for the Turn signal & brake (all red). While Gen 1.5 Edge (2011-2014) have separate bulbs for Turn signal (amber) & brakes (red).
