    just an FYI. i had a rattle in what i thought was the cargo area. drove me crazy. finally found out that the bottom of the tag was not screwed tight and was vibrating on the hatch. the bottom 2 screws were missing. i see this is a duplicate post.

    I have also heard that the USB hubs can be USB version specific.

    The problem .. I think .. is the version of the USB flash drive. I went thru this and found that only USB 2.0 thumb drives work with my Sync 3 vehicle. I currently have a 32 GB thumb drive and it works fine. Downside is they are much slower than the new USB 3 drives.

    i have a similar rattle sound on my 2016 that i hear when driving .. starts at speeds over 55 or 60 .. not loud but can be irritating. it sounds like something may have fallen where it should not have? coming from what seems to be the area near or behind the monitor screen. i have banged and pushed to no avail. i have not checked the AC to see if it is coming from there.

    if image is upside down you probably need a new camera. i bought one from Amazon .. for my 2012 edge. it is so clear and better than the original. pain in the butt install. make sure all contacts are clean and sealed. still working after 1.5 years. i agree the camera should have been simple plug and play install .. but it is not.

    no ideas on how to do this. but i thought about running a connection from the battery for a small solar charger .. thinking that the cigarette plug is not always active.

    so i have ordered a battery tester. that will tell me a lot more than voltage. thanks for the recommendation.

    it's a new battery that is the recommended size for an Edge. i tried doing a BMS reset but not sure if it worked. i think i agree with those saying there are persistent drains with these vehicles .. therefore resting voltage is unfortunately deceiving.

    pretty sure you should replace the plugs after 100K miles.

    .. resting voltage is definitely an indicator of battery health. and leaving a battery in a persistent uncharged state will lead to diminished battery performance.

    this morning i found it at 12.46 volts. that's only 80% charged with new battery. i did a few short trips yesterday.

    i just replaced the camera on my 2011. difficult to do yourself but i did it. the new camera is SO much better than the original and i got it from amazon for 60 bucks. this should be easy.
  13. gonesail
    i own a 2011 edge and the resting battery voltage is always at or over 12.6 volts which is 100% charge level. my 2016 edge is always above 12.5 but never 12.6 volts as it should be. this is a new battery. trying not to obsess on this but .. does anyone else check voltages on their car battery?

    ok i took a closer look. i see a much smaller panel under the engine that won't be too hard to remove. i'll go with that for now.

    so you are removing the shield at every oil change? the oil filter is accessible but on the V6 you can't drain with shield in place. i see others have bent it with not so good results. guess i'll figure it out.
