This and the other info. provided by others has been so helpful. Thank you!

To add some credence to what's being said by most, the seats are still identified as "Cooled" on the Ford build and price website, so I am going to assume the TED is still being utilized.

Can someone that lives in a cold climate (close to freezing) please try this? After a cold start, turn the ventilated seats on and observe their behaviour for a minute or two...see if the fans start to cycle on/off on their own.

Dealer wasn't able to replicate so no fix as no issue was observed (the fans stayed constant). No error faults were found in the system. Just looking at all the information versus what's in Ford's workshop manual (Thanks again, @Haz), there is conflicting information. Ford is saying the TED is still used but as people have pulled the seats apart, they are only seeing fans...and the heating function definitely does not use these seat fans, from my own observations. Maybe the SMCE is still monitoring temps and that's why it's changing one of the fan's speed...I have no idea. The heating function definitely does not use the blowers, so Ford's literature is outdated on that from what I can tell, which means any Ford Technician referencing that is being led astray. Sounds like I will just have to live with it.

My '24 did an update last night. The Sync system is quite different now...has different icons and a bunch of settings were changed to the defaults.

Can someone with the ventilated seats try turning them on after a cold start in a climate that is close to freezing to see if their seats do the same thing? I suspect the behaviour is normal.

Another update. Both the seats do this...driver and passenger. Sounds like there is a fan in the back cushion that is also turning off and on...I thought only the bottom cushion was ventilated? Service appointment at the end of the month so we will see what they say.

Adding this to my next service appointment. Here's a video of the seat fan surging. Anyone ever see or hear this occur on their vehicles? IMG_0501.avi

A little more on this issue. Noticed this morning that the fans for the ventilated seats were surging (making more then less noise). Sounds like something is going on with the part. I will have to get it looked at next service.

Found a bit more info (enigma-2 seems to have been on the right path) https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/two-bell-dings-alerts-when-starting.17358/page-2 "Turning off the predictive destination setting appears to have done the trick - I no longer hear the bells! ..."

I have this happen regularly, did it this morning actually. No errors or warnings in the gauges. I will check the nav screen next time it does it to see if there is anything that comes up.

This seems to be the thread to ask the question... I am noticing there's a new version of Sync available for my 2024 Edge but it hasn't been pushed out yet by Ford. Curious is anyone has seen an over the air update to the version noted below?

I have a noise starting on my '24 and I suspect it's the metal bar that others have velcro'd. Thanks for this info!

Update. Swapped the tires and took the Edge for a drive. All 2019 sensors paired and updated on their own once I got over ~80 km/hr.

Update on this. No hood fluttering now that I've raised up the hood bumpers. Had my first service yesterday and checked the other Edges on the dealer's lot and they all have this driver side issue where the grill trim is not flush and sits farther back than the passenger side and the hood also seems to sit higher on that side. I am going to live with it as is.
