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).
-
So you have a Titanium or ST with the optional Adaptive Headlamps (the "high line")? If you have the setting and isn't grayed out, and enabled, do you see the adaptive headlights do the test sweep at startup? I find it odd that they aren't bi-led like the standard headlamps, I have never seen them on and lit up to see the inner bulb. I thought it was more of a turning bulb like the Escape, so didn't really care about finding a Titanium with them (my track record with stuff like this is poor, many Lincolns I have owned all the added stuff breaks, side mirrors tilting down in reverse, dimming side mirrors, seat moving forward when back is lifted to enter back seat in 2 door, etc).
-
Welcome! I hope the Edge continues to deliver! I have a couple Fusions in my stable, but my Edge was a replacement for an Escape. I am personally a sedan/coupe type person but my wife lives CUVs so I will continue with sedans until I can't, but the Edge is her daily driver and our vacation/travel car. I don't need AWD but wouldn't have minded it, as that is the only way to get the paddle shifters, Southwestern desert calls for AWD never (but my Fusion is AWD).

If for the front movable glass, I think there is one. At https://parts.ford.com/shop/en/us/body/glass-windows-and-related-components/sunroof-glass-seal-roof-panel-opening-seal-p-7t4z7851884a?pdp=y is it 51884 in the diagram, you can also look at related parts, or search for sun roof with your year make and model entered, or VIN for some parts makes it easier.

Solar Battery Charger/maintainer
dabangsta replied to flymore's topic in 2019-Current Edge & Nautilius
I don't think the cigarette lighter remains powered all the time after turning off the engine. I will have to try it again, but I use the same thing, it worked with my 2017 Escape and 2012 Fusion, but my 2015 Fusion and 2019 Edge the 12v power points are on for a limited time, 20-30 minutes I think. -EDIT- just checked with a USB power adapter with an LED, the front console outlet (on the passenger side of the console) in my 2019 turns off between 30 minutes and 45 minutes (I think closer to 30 minutes). -
I haven't done many visual 3d printed things for my Edge. But I have modeled and printed things like tool holders, a case for a 12v>5v adapter for a dash cam, tums and ibuprofen holders, cable organizers, etc. Any one else do anything handy? I don't want to take the thread of the person that printed out an aftermarket mic holder. Part of the tool holders for under the cargo floor. flip lug socket holder, flashlight with batteries (not inserted so they don't ruin the flashlight), small tool holder for a flip bit screw driver, 1/4 drive ratchet and extensions), lug nut holder (3 spares): 12v>5v power converter for dash cam: I mostly print craft boxes for electronics that I fiddle with, replacement parts for broken stuff, pots and water catchers for plants, and some ornamental fun stuff.

aftermarket head unit - mic installation
dabangsta replied to whateg01's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
Nice! I love making parts to fix things or custom mount them with my 3d printer. I just did 8 prototypes to end up with a final fix for a broken tab on my fridge. I try to get where no trimming is needed, but sometimes oversized and trimming is best. I do need to get an enclosed printer to do ABS and/or ASA, as PETG just doesn't cut it in the ambient temps my vehicle is subject to 100+ days of the year. -
Glad you got it figured out. I didn't have my Edge with me to check, and I only use the fuel mileage view (unless in sport mode, then tach view) so I am not all that educated in the other views, I have cycled through them hoping for a more useful view like my 2017 Escape had, but it is a compromise with Fuel economy (my wife loves the digital speedo instead).
