I don't think the Edge got it until 2019. The 2018 Brochure mentions FordPass app but only to use to find gas stations, not actually connect to the car. But I own a 2019 and haven't owned an earlier SYNC 3 Edge. My 2017 Escape had it, but didn't have it for 2016 when SYNC 3 was introduced in that vehicle.

Great news! Glad you came back and documented the success, some very awesome resources available here for sure, and end result helps out just as much. Adaptive cruise really is nice on those 10-12 hour drives, even more so on my 2019 with stop and go and lane centering. I don't pay less attention driving, but it help me focus a little less, and helps correct some of my bad behaviors, like running too close to a slower vehicle ahead of me. I will change lanes sooner so it doesn't put on the whoa and slow me down a lot, but if it does I don't over react and force my way into the other lane.

Since everything else shows the minimum at the low end of the scale, that 7 psi wasn't from initial startup? Can it be reset to not show initial value? I wonder how it is calculated. When I was adding PIDs to Torque the oil pressure one was actually percentage. So most people change the formula to use 80 psi as 100% (so they take the percentage of 80 psi and display that as the pressure) which seems to be what is done here.

SyncConnect/FordConnect wasn't introduced until 2019 for the Edge. That is what allows things like start, lock, unlock from the FordPass app. It started appearing on vehicles after the next generation of SYNC from yours (you have SYNC 2, SYNC with MyFord Touch) which was SYNC 3, but it is separate functionality even from SYNC 3, and the Edge got that in 2016 but not FordConnect until 2019.

Is this using OBD-II data, an added electronic sender, or a mechanical gauge? I had a low oil pressure light on in my 2012 Fusion with the 3.5 (which is not a 2.7 GTDI engine I know...) at some specific places (like stopping at a light after doing 45 mph and coming around a corner), so I checked with a mechanical gauge at it was at 18-21 psi depending on the engine temp. I replaced the oil pressure sender and it no longer comes on when idling when hot and specific driving conditions.

Both levels/lines state the turn signal is amber (2019-2024). This is my 2019 SEL with the low line tail lights: turn signal: taillight:
-
The line item "LED Signature Lighting" is the front headlamp, the "Mid" line. (The SE gets the "Low" headlamps without signature lighting, the "High" is optional on Titanium and ST) The line item "LED Taillamps with Amber Turn Signals" is the "Low" line for the taillights, without the "Signature Lighting" which is the inner taillight also illuminating. Only the Titanium and ST get the "High" line. Your ST-Line does not have the "High" line taillights, as you have noticed, and what you see is exactly what should happen.
-
Titanium and ST get "LED Taillamps with Signature Light and Amber Turn Signals" which has the inner tail lamp that also has illumination (other than the backup lamp).

Classic indicators of a problem with the evap purge valve. You can test it. The continuing to crank after you release the key from the start position is expected, from your manual:

Anyone have these and a cleaver concealed but easy to get to to add air from a compressor? I frequently load a reasonable amount of stuff (half of the cargo area is a dog crate with 2 ten pounds dogs) in the cargo area on my 2019 Edge SEL without adaptive headlights. Apparently it is enough to cause 50% of the people coming towards me to flash their high beams, and those I am traveling behind to slow down let me by and zing me with high beams. I don't think the vehicle has been in an accident and the headlights replaced or removed. I did the procedure in the owners manual for vertical alignment (checking, I didn't adjust it) and it seemed dead on. I will probably check it again, and maybe adjust it down. I assume it is like HID and the cut off is below the center line, and the hot spot to the right is on the line. But I think the best solution is Air Lift 1000 bags to run a little air in them when I have stuff in the cargo area. I have only found a few examples of places people have mounted the fill stem, and those are independent ones (which I did with my 1997 Mark VIII but for fine tuning side to side for launching), and those are in the hitch receiver retainer pin holes. I don't have a hitch yet, and when I do, it will be used. Other vehicles I have seen them mounted in the fuel fill area, my older cars I mounted them under the bumpers (but they had metal bumpers, not bumper covers), as one of the license plate mounts (back panel wasn't attached to the deck lid or cargo door like the Edge). It should be easy to get to, but doesn't need to be overly so. It will be one common fill.

What region is this? I have not seen a North American head unit/nav with an unlock code in a long time, but other places like Europe/UK it is more common.

2018 Ford Edge No Rear Tweeter Wire
dabangsta replied to bhamraS97's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
What model and radio (SE 6 speaker, SEL SYNC 3 and Premium Audio, Titanium/Sport with 12 speaker Sony w sub)? Must at least be 9 speaker as 6 speaker setup only has tweeters in the front. I thought it it was like many other Fords and the wiring for them came off the lower speakers, but doesn't seem to be the case, the woofer and tweeter both are wired all the way separately so that is weird. -
Batteries wear down, as do starters, spark plugs, and other things that make starting an engine take longer, be more work. It does keep tabs on the battery and disables it once the battery has low SoC/volts/CCA but add in other variables and sometimes it won't start back up (it only happened to me twice, in my 2017 Escape, but that is 2 too many times). I got to the point I didn't disable it eventually, but it still is annoying to me in a few situations, mostly left turns against oncoming vehicles from a light. If the steering wheel is turned significantly it can disable auto stop, but I apparently don't do that, so that .3 a second it takes to restart and go is significant in that situation. My wife gets annoyed when I disable it (I created a 555 timer circuit to disable it 10 seconds after starting the car), so I drive in Sport mode which disables it (but takes me to a dash display I don't use).

That is an awesome mod! I have a FWD 2019 so it also doesn't have the paddle shifters. They are very handy when towing (I haven't installed a tow hitch yet either), I used them a lot on my 2017 Escape.

It calls for 75w85 premium synthetic and not 75w140.

HID headlight housing
dabangsta replied to Buddy4679's topic in Glass, Lenses, Lighting, Mirrors, Sunroof (BAMR), Wipers
Rockauto has some "various manufacturer" from China for $380 a piece. I guess pricewise beats $1000-1500 for new OEM. -
There is a button in the roof center console that allows you to disable the courtesy lamps coming on when opening a door (or enable it). It has a pictograph with a car with a door open and slash through a bulb emitting light... if it amber that means that interior lights are off. While the HTML manual is pretty bad (much easier to find stuff in the PDF in older model years available for download) it is there:

Playing music from external source
dabangsta replied to pmricci's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
Might depend on the MP3 player, but most MP3 players and USB thumb drives with music, when connected via the USB port, should be usable yes. -
Code P1450 - problem starting after filling up
dabangsta replied to wolfsnout21's topic in 2.0L EcoBoost
If the 2.0 (not sure it is, since this failure is common for the 3.5 as well) you can find the valve separately if you can deal with the hard plastic hose off of it (some heat it up to soften it to remove, and then to go on the new valve). -
Code P1450 - problem starting after filling up
dabangsta replied to wolfsnout21's topic in 2.0L EcoBoost
Common failure on the 2.0, usually purge valve. There are ways to test it (I am sure some of your search results for it include videos on how to test it). It generally is all replaced, some of the harder lines are heat pressed into the valve, and better/easier to replace the entire valve and hoses that are connected to it. -
Any installed in North American market 2015-2018 Edge with the 2.0. I was educated earlier on in this thread as to the different year releases by model (why my 2019 Edge doesn't have the same build date check as the Escape and Fusion). They Edge got the affected block 2.0 first, and got a replacement for it before the other vehicles.
-
I don't know the ratio of 2.0 to 3.5 once the 2.0 was introduced, but I would have expected to see more reports of this earlier with the Edge since it got that affected engine 2 years before the Escape and Fusion. However with 1/3 the production numbers of the Edge versus the Escape and the Fusion, I guess that is why it is more apparent in those higher volume cars. I had a 2017 Escape with the 1.5 that also is possibly affected by this issue. They had a CSP to reprogram it to help mitigate this issue (which I had done) by leaving the coolant pump on longer after engine shut down. If you had that done, and still had the coolant intrusion issue, there was another CSP that extended the warranty to 7 years, 84,000 miles. The car was lost in an accident at 98,000 miles so not sure if it would have failed or not. I had an extended warranty still as well on it. I don't know of any attempts to help the issue not happen with the 2.0. Knowing the source of the issue I don't think there is anything that can be done. Keep up on coolant changes? Many people didn't take in their 1.5 powered Fusion or Escapes for the first CSP, so no extended warranty for the issue. There was a lot of misguided details on what it changed, but the text of it was pretty straight forward in why and what they changed.
-
So a different post than this? Do you have any of the symptoms or indicators of the coolant intrusion issue or just worried about it? Ford didn't ignore it, they just aren't paying for fixing it for those out of warranty (which yes, to most people, means they are ignoring it). They issued a TSB to the dealerships on indicators, range of affected vehicles, tests to perform, and in the end that a new long block is the remediation, a new block with updates so the issue doesn't happen again.
-
Starting in 2019 the block heater was optional for vehicles destined for any state (previously it was standard for AK, MN, ND, SD, MT, WI, and WY). So it probably doesn't have it unless it was a special order or a common option for the state it was destined for (like my CA vehicle had $1700 off for the convenience package, wheels, all weather floor mats and Co-Pilot360 Assist+).
-
The cargo area on my Edge is already compromised with the angle of the rear window (a dog crate that fit in my 2017 Escape won't fit in my Edge for example), I guess if I didn't have tall square things to haul it would be okay, but might as well just have a sedan with pass through rear seats (like any non hybrid Fusion). I don't need ground clearance, I don't need to sit up higher (have to have a CUV to sit up higher, but they keep making them taller and taller, so now your "tall CUV" is like a sedan again).
