  1. If you like your vehicle(s), NEVER USE ZIEBART! ZIEBART traps in the moisture & rots the vehicle from the inside out. Use a product like fluid film, that allows moisture to escape & protects your vehicles. ZIEBART also makes it VERY difficult to work on if you need to change parts in the future. I used to be a Ziebart person because I thought that it was the only thing out there. Both of our Edge's get a coat of fluid film every year before winter & we avoid under body washes during the winter. Fluid Film is relatively cheap & will help your car last a lot longer than one coated with Ziebart. There's MANY videos online, but here's a decent one that explains why you shouldn't use Ziebart:
  2. Welcome. Buy a horn from a 2015-2018 edge. Plug & play & I believe 2 bolts. There's a thread somewhere about it.
  3. It's confirmed that it's part of the lane centering system. I've turned off the lane centering system in the past & that light also goes off when the lane centering is off & turns orange when it comes close to an edge line.
  4. No, I have 2 Edge's. This is my 2020 SEL AWD. The wife is the primary driver of the 2016 SEL FWD. We had a little one on the way & needed something with more safety features than my 2008 Mazda CX7 GT AWD.
  5. akirby is right. Purposely drove close to the white line to snap this
  6. It's closer to $3.20/gallon here now, over $3.30/gallon in some places. I think that Americans would loose their minds having to pay that much for fuel. I paid $4.25/gallon for premium on my old Mazda CX7 & I thought that was high. Everything is creeping up price wise. Gas prices, food prices, property taxes, child care, etc. I'm not saying people shouldn't make a decent wage, but paying people $20/hr for jobs that are entry level, minimum wage jobs is going to have cascading affects for years. Everything is going to go up to compensate. I hope that it doesn't come to that, but something needs to change.
  7. Don't know what your goals are, but have you tried an FM Modulator?
  8. Wife said that we're taking a mini road trip tomorrow so the latest tank got interrupted....
  9. The sweet speed range seems to be around 50-60 mph (believe that it doesn't get into the last gear till 60). Highway runs above 70 seem to kill my mpg's to around ~26 (depends on headwind & hills) on a trip down to Florida I got 29mpg ? Currently around 156 miles on this tank. If I rode the tank around 60mph, I'd get over 500 miles on this one ?
  10. Our 2016 has screws & our 2020 does not. I don't remember what the pitch was on the '16, but didn't seem to be anything special. If I feel motivated enough, I might snag a pic later. I know that there was another thread on this topic somewhere, don't remember if it was here or Facebook.
  11. Neither model or year has fog lights. They have signature lights. To my knowledge, they're the same. Unless you're across the pond. (I'm on mobile & can't see your location)
  12. FA1Z-13832-B is the part # for the horn I ordered. Did take nearly 2 months to get delivered, but that was probably due to COVID.
  13. Look for a 2015 - 2018 factory horn. Dealer will say that it won't fit, but it does. Don't have the part number available, but the swap takes less than 20 minutes. Much improved from the wimpy single horn.
  14. Something has a sound alert, is it the Blind Spot? Maybe that's blocked? There would be an indication on the side mirrors though. I'm probably thinking of the pre-collision warning that makes a noise, but it also lights up the instrument cluster. I guess the OP should go through his Driver Assist options & see what they have.
  15. Probably the lane keep assist. Previous owner probably had it on sound only. Should be on the left side of the speedometer screen, under driver assist.
  16. There should be a button on the overhead console that will kill the vast majority of the lights. I'm not sure if it will reset after the car is turned off for an extended period of time. I forget exactly what it looks like. But it's towards the left side & maybe the 2nd button in from the left side.
  17. Oil Life Monitor System said that the wife's Edge was at 31%. I usually try to do it earlier, but life has gotten in the way. Also drained the Catch Can & I'd guesstimate that about 3-4oz's came out. Also cleaned & power washed the ol Weber grill for this evening activities. It's amazing how much Grease (flavor) accumulates on it.
  18. Thanks, but in my last post I already bought a plug & play harness & a Amp ?
  19. Ended up going this route. It definitely made the sound more enjoyable & I can actually hear & feel the bass now. It's not like adding a sub or different head unit, but woke it up just enough to make it sound OK enough for a 'factory' system. Our 16 SEL is definitely still better. https://www.focusfanatics.com/threads/simple-focus-mk3-audio-upgrade.324097/

    EDGE ST mods

    99% or more of edge owners don't mod them. It's not going to make companies money to do research & development for a platform that isn't very popular. Special_K has done a lot of research on the sport. Some mods can transfer over to the ST. In the mean time, check this thread out:
  21. Yes, for a 2015 - 2018. Won't fit on a 2019+ https://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/23939-fresh-air-intake-mod/?do=findComment&comment=218239
  22. Oil Life Monitoring System said I was below 50% (read 48%) on our 2020. Time to change it for a 2nd time (less than 7,000 total miles on the odometer).
