Sorry I took so long to get back. I guess it's completely normal. I'm assuming it may be a junction connector. Or at least that's what I found on another forum discussing that wire. I had gotten the code on that black plastic harness 33472-0723 And then did a Google search, and only one discussion about the wire came up, along with the actual harness connector plug for sale at a few sites. Here is the link to a Ford fusion forum that discussed this exact wire plug http://www.2gfusions.net/showthread.php?tid=9060&pid=145646

Where can obtain the wiring of that location? I think the whole situation got much more serious when I reached back there and all the wires in that taped up area are cut. I been getting some strange behavior from one of the dealerships. I called and spoke to manager about the vehicle taking a long time to warm up, and that was a month ago. Before finding these wires I felt like they where afraid to deal with my vehicle or go near it. It's been 30 days of excuses and told this and that. Also they where the ones who replaced my rear main seal. So I think those wires may have something to do with it. Somehow I'm not getting any Codes from it, so if these wires are important. Then whoever did the cutting, did it intentionally because they also did something else to block these codes. I'm hoping I'm wrong, but I don't think 3 to 5 wires just randomly go in Ford edges and connect to nothing lol

I tried that, nothing happened. Just strange to have wire not connected, but also no codes from it. I would think something would have been noticable by now. I do have the engine taking a long time to warm up when it's cold and winter, and this symptom goes away in the summer. So I've ordered a motorcraft coolant temperature sensor, Stant SuperStat Thermostat with gasket. Also ordered motorcraft cylinder head temperature sensor. I got intake manifold gasket already for when I remove the intake manifold. The coolant temperature sensor is faulty for sure. Just the other day I noticed this sediment at the bottom of the degas bottle, and I ended up flushing the coolant, but there is still some in there. So I plan on draining the coolant and removing all the parts and leaving thermostat out and going nuts on flushing using zerex super radiator cleaner, and then I'll use Thermocure and flush using hose for a while before running 80 liters of distilled water. I'm hoping to take care of this issue that's been around for 9 months. I went to 3 different Ford dealerships, and they couldn't come up with anything. I bought a diagnostic scanner and found the faulty coolant temperature sensor, and right after I found the coolant system full of sediments that is dry like chalk when I rub between fingers. Now I'm just hoping to figure out what that wire is. After all this I'm never bringing my vehicle to a Ford dealership again. I been chasing problems for 15 months. New one with each visit to Ford lol.

Here is a few more pics.

I have a 2017 Ford Edge Titanium AWD 3.5L V6. I was looking around under the hood the other day, and I noticed right between the battery, and the metal frame this 3 inch taped up wire with connector harness plugged in to another wire harness connector. It also is held in place by a push in type clip that holds it neatly in place. I've been able to find a picture of another edge. Not even the 3.5l V6 and I could see the plastic harness, but I couldn't make out anything else from the picture. So this wire seems common enough, and I was hoping someone will know what it connects to. I'll add pictures below. Also I should mention I had the rear main seal replaced a few months ago, and transmission was removed for this. So it could very well be some sensor connecting to the transmission, or one of the sensors around the drivers side of the engine. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Might be a little late, but I had that exact issue. The only difference is that is came from the passenger side front door. I figured out what it was..... small little rocks that go in this small open space right behind the mudflap that is behind the front passenger wheel. There is an area from where the front door begins, and the mudflap. When going faster these little rocks swing right up in there and then they do the bingo roll at highway speeds. I stick the hose to it and blast them out.

Very true. I think I meant the EVAP canister in the rear.

I'll know what it is for sure in a few days. I just ordered the Launch X431 V+ Professional diagnostic scan tool. The first thing I'll test will be the EVAP system, then fuel pump. The air hissing noise starts off low when the SUV starts for the first time of the day. If it's running for about 20 minutes or more it gets much louder. I wonder if that might be the EGR valve causing a build up of pressure from the suction.

Well, I figured out why I'm getting amazing gas mileage. I went in to grab coffee instead of drive thru, and I could hear what sounds like a full pressurized propane tank wide open leaking air just below the rear of my Edge. Basically the gas tank area. I'm assuming my fuel pump or fuel line is losing pressure. There isn't any gas leaking, just pure air sound coming out from around there. So I think that rules out fuel line leaking air. it might be the fuel tank ventilation system that's plugged up. I'll have to check it all out. I did notice that when I press the gas pedal I don't get the same torque as I used to. Slightly less power. That 35 MPG was unfortunately to good to be true lol

Ok, I just came back from driving around the city, and while driving I found the option your speaking of. I switched to MPG. I also hit ok to reset, and last 10 minutes of driving I got an average of 22 MPG but it was bouncing from 21.4 to 23 when I looked a few times. When I got home I checked before turning off and was at 22 MPG. Seems pretty good but it's really depending on how many red lights I hit. It's most likely gonna get worse as I sit in drive thru for coffee all the time lol.

I do have the trip 1 and 2 on. It's been calculating for couple months. Mostly in town driving with about 30 minutes of highway and it's at 14.2l/100km conversion in MPG is 16.56 MPG, and the newer trip 1 that's about 3 weeks old is showing I think 13.8l100km but I'm guessing it's gonna slowly get up to trip 2 at 14.2l/100km. I get horrible gas mileage in town. Is it possible one or 2 of my injectors are plugged or dirty causing less gas to be injected when going faster? Maybe that's why I'm getting such good results when going higher steady speeds. Or maybe cruise control activates the AWD less when it's maintaining a specific speed instead of having constant different acceleration inputs that usually activate the AWD. BTW, I don't think I have MPG calculation option on my 2017 Edge Titanium. It has pretty much all other conversions. Wonder if that's because I got mine in Canada? I'll have to check to make sure. If I have the MPG I'll certainly use that from now on.

It's was the inst fuel economy that I had on. Also pressed ok button for reset first. I'm just changing my rear differential oil today. Draining as I type this. 38,543 km and is it ever dark silver color. Looks like 500 ml total left in there. Supposed to be 1.1 liters lol. I'll say there is 600 ml since I can't get it all. I wonder if I'll get even better gas mileage after this.

It could very well be the wind helping out. I can't remember if I had watched the gauge both ways going and coming. I'll have to test that next time.

I pick the option called fuel economy. Not trip 1 or trip 2. It's looks like this after driving for 10 minutes on cruise control at 80 MPH. It's says fuel economy on top and then says average 6.8l/100km and I also press OK and hold down to reset it first. I'll add a screenshot of the example I found online just now. When I do the conversion to U.S miles per gallon it gives me 34.59 U.S miles per gallon. I do have over 3/4 of tank full of gas and lately I been using premium 91 octane, and I also use Lucas upper cylinder lubricant or marvel mystery oil in every gas fill up. I use 0W-20 Amsoil Signature Series with liquid moly Cera tec friction modifier along with K&N oil filter and Wix engine air filter.. First time using Cera tec friction modifier was in my last oil change 3 months ago. I still can't see these products making this much of a difference on gas mileage, but Maybe it's the combination of everything I'm using. I hope it's because everything is working great and not something that's about to let go lol. BTW, I have the basic duratec 3.5L V6 no turbo
