mgl79 Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 2013 Edge Ltd with factory remote start does not work. Had Edge for 2 months never really tried remote start. Did what manual & key tag says. Hit lock button once and start button twice. Lights blink when I hit lock, blink twice when I hit start, small pause nothing happens, then horn beeps once. But car does not crank or start. ???? Called and stopped at dealer and they do not have any answers. Will look into and call me to see how to proceed. Have tried all issues I could think of, valet setting, remote start enabled, climate changed ( last setting or auto), other remote. Just looking to see if others have seen this and had it figured out or fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary712 Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 open hood and hold down hood switch while trying to start car. if that does not solve problem go to dealer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ls973800 Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 I believe there is a setting in the menu that you enable/disable the remote start from working. You can find the setting under the ""Settings" menu on the left side of the dash using the buttons on the left side of the steering wheel. Page 118 of my owner's manual shows the different settings, including enable or disable remote starting. I bet yours is set to disable.

wlepse Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Definitely check hood switch...when dealer did work on my car they forgot to put it back. Our horn honked but I think the lights also flashed. Ls973800'sidea is good too...both are quick easy checks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgl79 Posted July 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Sorry for slow reply. Out of town not with Edge to test your responses. Dealer called and left message to bring in and they found out what to test, but most likely a bad module. Will try under hood first. Thanks Will post fix when done.

mgl79 Posted August 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Switch under hood is there and in place. Held it down by hand and tried to start with remote button.....Still nothing, did same thing. Flash flash...pause and horn beep. Looks like dealer try next.

sajid.ali Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 May be Hood Switch is faulty, you can check it by putting a piece of wire in the connector to short the two terminal and give a remote start signal.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgl79 Posted August 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Update........Day 2 at dealer. First phone call at end of day I was told after an exhaustive diagnostic routine....yeah right, they had to order a module. Today late afternoon call, sorry wrong module came in. What do I want to do.Will give me a rental no cost. If he had looked I have first day rental in my extended warranty. It's wife's Edge. She is pissed. Said another bad omen. Wants her old Explorer back. smh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgl79 Posted August 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Picked up Edge from dealer after 3rd day and no part. Told them to call me when part comes in. That was last Thursday. Today Tuesday morning they called and said no part yet. Still trying to get the part. Lucky it is not an important part....smh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgl79 Posted September 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 Spoke to dealer service manager yesterday. They say it is a module and is on National back order. Last spoke with service writer he said he would contact Ford area rep and put in a Customer service call for me if I wanted.....said sure go ahead. Don't think it will help. We'll see. Still sucks though. Will wait and see. If known problem how come not around for a 2013 Edge....14's almost here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgl79 Posted September 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 Ok. Got to say this is odd but, the wife said she just wanted to try and start the Edge with her remote.....Guess what IT STARTED!! What the hell. So we start thinking maybe the emergency brake was not on before when it was tried. Took it off, still started. Thought it might be my remote was the issue. Went and got my remote......started again. Have no clue, but will wait and see if it is still working when dealer finally gets module in. Little crazy. Did not do anything differently than we did before. Wow. Technology.

mgl79 Posted October 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 SO FINALLY the module came in last week and Edge now has working remote start. Wahoooo. Only took 3 months. Same thing happened with my 09 F150 power steering line leaked and no parts available and on National back order. Also took 3 months. Must be magic number for Ford parts suppliers.

HouseAlmas Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 Sounds like the parts department is nationally trained with the same auto response. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macbwt Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 If you have a shift to park issue the Edge remote start will not function. I have had that occur to my wife's Edge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar302 Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 Happen to have the part number of what they changed? Might help one of us in the future if they face something similar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abbby Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 I know this is an old post but does anyone happen to have the part number of this module. My 2010 MKX does the exact same thing and I would like to avoid the pain of going to the dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
builder1 Posted May 30, 2022 Report Share Posted May 30, 2022 (edited) I know this is old post but none of the advice seems to apply in my case. My wife's fob works remote start, mine does not. Every other feature with the 2013 Ford edge limited remote works fine. I read about it not working after an alarm and that did happen so how do I reset or reprogram mine to work again? TIA Edited May 30, 2022 by builder1 Request reply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
