  1. There are also clear options. I found some 2.75 (70mm) wide stuff that cover the horizontal sill and .5 inches down the vertical. I am not sure how well it will work as I haven't gotten it in yet. I also ordered some carbon fiber look cheapo stuff, I think it would look okay on any color, mine is Magnetic so probably not stand out as much as on white. I wish they didn't call the plastic part a scuff panel and the vertical part a kick panel, because everyone else in my household scuffs the heck out of them, I am more worried about how crappy those will look in the near future than the painted sill.
  2. No hitch from the factory means no factory tow package means no trailer sway control means 2,000 pounds towing which is not enough for that trailer you list. In the message center (the four way button with OK on the left of the steering wheel), if you go to Settings>Driver Assist, Trailer Sway Control would be listed if it is available.
  3. 4300k would be warmer, closer to yellow, than 6500k Many find that 6500k is bluish, but the higher the k the bluer, like 9000k
  4. Instrument Cluster. Most refer to it as the IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster). I think this swap is similar to putting the MKZ cluster in a Fusion (but an MKX into Edge?). I am happy with my type 2 setup and speedometer center, my wife hasn't found the digital speedometer in the left side, but she liked it in the Escape with the 2 pods, tach on the left, and speedo on the right.
  5. I had to remove and re-add the vehicle a couple of times into my existing FordPass app (I have 2 vehicles already in it), the dealer said incorrectly that it was because there was no WiFi (it uses cell service) and that it was under a canopy (not an underground bunker with 10 layers of concrete). I couldn't scan the VIN tag so I manually entered it, and the third time I did it I got the prompt on the screen in the car to Allow. I had just done a master reset because I didn't want the previous owner to still have access to the vehicle via FordPass. I think I got ahead of myself by trying the first time in the app before doing the master reset the first time (while waiting for the paperwork to be done and the final detailing done). Once I updated to 3.4 FordConnect reset was removed, I am not sure how it is done with 3.4. The vehicle has to be running, and I don't remember if it was this or getting the door code, but all doors have to be closed.
  6. I would say visit the owners site owners manuals, that has all the manuals (including the full navigation one), but you seem to not like them or be able to find things in them, but maybe a digital version that is searchable would help? https://www.ford.com/support/vehicle/edge/2010/owner-manuals/ My 2019 has hundreds of new things that my 2012 Fusion doesn't, and dozens over my 2017 Escape it replaces, I spent a good few hours figuring stuff out, and as I find new things, I try to figure them out.
  7. My 2012 Fusion has the same 3.5, I check the coolant level and the oil (level and if it has water/coolant and milky) every few tanks of gas. I did identify the weep holes but I don't really check them, they are not that easy without really digging in. I did remove the under engine plastic panel as it masked an issue I had with an oil leak.
  8. Again, not sure what this intercooler on a non turbo vehicle is. You can see if in the Vehicle settings you have trailer sway control.
  9. I went to the site from the Navigation manual, which eventually goes to https://ford.navigation.com/home/en_US/FordNA/USD and when I put in 2010 Ford Edge I get the option for North America 2019 map updates for $150, https://ford.navigation.com/product/Catalog/Catalog_Ford_Edge_2010/Ford-Lincoln-Mercury-North-America-Map-Update-V11-0x-Includes-Gracenote-Disc/sku/U2192-0000-811NAM/en_US/FordNA/USD I am pretty sure yours has the DVD (that is not just the DVD for maps but also updates for the navigation). I am just spit balling here, I don't own a vehicle that has this version of navigation or SYNC, but I am pretty sure it is the same as the same genre Lincoln MKZ, I looked into updates when I was looking for a car, when I ended up with my 2012 Fusion (without nav, thank god, it is pretty bad). I assume you have the voice activated navigation with the buttons all around it and the 2 sorta knobs at the top corners? You can probably find older ones on places like eBay, or maybe the current one, not sure.
  10. I thought that all interior bulbs from 2015 to newer are all LED, no separate bulb but it is part of the fixture.
  11. Yes, there are 2 weep holes that can show coolant leaking out of them. I hope the coolant isn't green, but Orange (or the Yellow that superseded Orange).
  12. What version of the maps DVD do you have? They did a final V11.0 in 2019 (no more map updates, and limited quantities, but they say it is still in stock).
  13. Is it all up to date for the previously required stuff? Coolant at 105,000? The transmission fluid is 150,000 but that is pretty long. PTU and rear diff also at 150,000 if AWD. Serpentine accessory drive belt also 150,000.
  14. Hmm, the manual says that if you don't have the message center you simply select the one you want to reset (by just toggling the trip/reset button), press and hold the trip/reset button until it resets after 2 seconds. If you have the message center, when you have that trip displayed (switch between them using the Info button), the Reset button (along with the Info and Setup buttons) you press and hold until it resets.
  15. There are cheaper places to get a replacement for both, but be aware that with only 1 key, you will need to visit the dealer, or a locksmith to program in that second key, not just getting it cut. Since the remote start is a separate module, that is done separately and requires finding the override/programming button. There are also aftermarket remote starts that use the factory key (you either press lock 3 times, or you alternate lock-unlock-lock) on the factory IKT. I didn't know I had one on my 2015 Fusion until my daughter was trying out the global window close and pressed lock button 3 times instead of lock, then hold lock until they started closing. They do seem a lot more pricey for the 2010 Edge than for cars I have looked for them in the past.
  16. That remote start system was a custom added option (usually they are included with the vehicle and the dealer installs it, but for the 2010 Edge it is installed at the factory it appears) for your year, and there is no integrated solution, you can't get a 5 button IKT (Integrated Keyhead Transmitter) key to replace your 4 button one and have the remote start button work.
  17. Welcome! I find just about any question I have answered in the owners manual if it isn't a super secret thing or a very technical thing. I am sure that many here have probably already dealt with some of the things you have questions about though!
  18. On my 2019 with fog lights, the fog light button is to the left of the rotary dial to select off/park/on/auto (and the dash dimmer up and down are on the right of it, fogs replace the down/dim cluster button).
  19. 2011->2018 Edge didn't have fog lights as an available option I don't think. 2007-2010 SEL and higher, and 2019+ SEL and higher do. There are aftermarket fog lights that replace the signature LED lighting with fog lights and LED surrounds (and some are also turn signals). They generally have a full harness and a switch that appears similar to what they look like in fog light equipped vehicles. Seems like some of the steel bumper behind the bumper cover might need modified/cut.
  20. From the first 2022 Canada Order Guide published 8/16 it is listed as a change:
  21. Same in the US, and same since 2022.
  22. Did it (3.5 V6 not 3.6) come with the factory towing package? If yes, then it is rated to tow 3500 pounds. If no, if you added a hitch and wiring, then the limit is 2000 pounds. The differences include trailer sway control on the towing package, I don't know if it includes extra coolers. Loaded that trailer is around 3,300 pounds (I think...). So you would have to have the factory tow package to tow that trailer, even empty. Since your vehicle isn't turbocharged, it won't have an intercooler. They must mean either external (aux) transmission cooler?
  23. They (Dongar) show the 5 pin connector for 2021+ Edge, but the 2019 has the same connector? They also show SEL and higher, but starting in 2019 all trim levels got auto dimming mirror. I get that they can't know every precise detail for the wide range of vehicles they are trying to sell these for, but I would think they could do better. Does anyone have the wiring diagram/pinout for the rear view mirror? While I am trying to be less of a cheapskate with this vehicle and try for plug and play, engineered solutions and higher quality stuff, I find it difficult to spend $30 on a 12v to 5v converter. I know that these connectors are expensive and finding the plug that connects to the body harness is hard, and this is an elegant solution...but I spent $2 (that might be a high estimate as I bought enough for 5 projects) recreating the same thing on my 2012 Fusion, and it isn't exactly a hack or eyesore. I also have a dash cam from a previous vehicle that I wired into the fuse box for constant and switched power, but with it running near the rear view camera it caused the RKE range to be about 5 feet, and caused the TPMS to fault frequently, I tried adding a choke to the wires but that didn't seem to help. If might have been the actual camera itself. I had to pull it and use one that had a USB cable (I guess between the twisting and the proximity of all the wires) to not cause issues with the other stuff.
  24. It is possible you have Remote Start (from the fob) as mentioned is an available option with a package on the SEL. That 3 button remote is not the standard one for the Edge, it should be a 4 button (add Liftgate to that 3 button one), or 5 button (also adding the remote start button). If you have all the other items in the Convenience Package (120v power point or the 3 button garage door set on the drivers sun visor would be easiest to spot), then you would need a 5 button remote and add it if possible (be sure it is possible before you proceed, ask me how I know...). If it has 2 3 button remotes, I would guess the original 4 or 5 button remotes are still programmed in, and if it has 2 more, it won't be simple to add another remote.
  25. I thought that mine were okay on my newly acquired Edge, but when I tried to put a 21mm socket on them, it only engaged about half way down on most of them. I got a set of 23 (I couldn't figure out why 23 until I got them) of 21mm hex m14x1.5 solid lug nuts. These are similar to ones I have used on all my other vehicles, and don't think the smaller conical seat length matters. I replaced them on 2 wheels and will drive it around and check before doing the other 2 wheels. For $1 more I got 3 extra lugs (over the 20 pack) to have spares, but thought it was a typo and would be 24 (for a 6 lug F-150), but they are for a Jeep with the spare that uses 3 lugs to connect to the spare tire carrier. I was barely able to get the OEM lug wrench on them, but my 13/16-21mm lug socket was a no go, but works well with the new lugs. They are 13/16 (20.64mm) but the OEM lug wrench does fine with them. I am glad no one was recording me trying to get the lug wrench off the jack, a very new setup for me but once I noodled it all out it makes sense. The spare actually had 60 psi of air.
