RJG Posted June 17, 2018 Report Share Posted June 17, 2018 2012 Ford Edge. Have the black screen. Other screens still there. it's gone out a few times before, and came back. This time, can't get it to come back on. Suspect it's the APIM module. Resets don't seem to help. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gortty-Pilot Posted June 17, 2018 Report Share Posted June 17, 2018 If I were you Id get a used one from eBay and plug it in. Some research and using Forscan will save you a lot of money. Heck I have my old one with navigation (I installed Sync 3)you could have for $100. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJG Posted June 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2018 Don't mind too much having a dealership replace it. It's the only thing we have ever had to do to this 2012 Limited Edge. Garage kept, still hve original tires, 56,000 miles, 6/32 left. Just wondering what they are charging? Generally have the Lincoln dealership service the car.....but imagine Lincoln dealership parts cost more than "Ford" parts. Thought I might shop around to local Ford dealerships.

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted June 17, 2018 Report Share Posted June 17, 2018 Offtopic, but if you have the 3.5 in the Edge, be sure to service fluids as soon as you can. It is due/overdue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJG Posted June 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2018 (edited) Coolant and trans fluid replacements already done. Edited June 17, 2018 by RJG 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gortty-Pilot Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 Well the lady that cuts my hair was getting a quote of about $700 from a non-Ford shop. I imagine the dealer will be more expensive than that. Id give them a call in the morning for a quote, it should be a fairly quick process. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 (edited) If your certain that the Accessory Protocol Interface Module is at fault, I'd talk to your dealer first. There's an extended warranty on your year's Edge. https://ford.oemdtc.com/1745/12m02-warranty-extension-covering-accessory-protocol-interface-module-apim-software-and-hardware-2011-2014-ford-lincoln .

RJG Posted June 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 I bought the vehicle new in January of 2012. Soon after got a letter saying warranty on APIM was extended to 5 years (VS 3) until January 2017. That time has passed. Are you saying warranty is further extended on this part?

enigma-2 Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 (edited) After reading the Ford coverage again, I see that it was extended to five years from initial service date. So I imagine it did end in 2017. Even though you still have to pay, there is still one good point it makes. And that is to make certain you are running the latest update. As it's not currently working, I would imagine the dealer will need to do it. The Ford letter required the dealers to check the software (latest or reload) prior to going further.

RJG Posted June 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 (edited) It has the latest update that came with the A4 chip. Has all the updates I've been notified about. From Ford Owners site, and syncmyride.com, etc. Car has been registered from day one. I have a new A9 chip....but haven't installed that. Assumed no soft ware update needed for that.

RJG Posted June 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 FWIW....Have got two quotes of around $900 to diagnose and then replace the APIM. Could be worse. Question for some of you guys.....is the replacement model better than the one originally installed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 (edited) Could just pull it out and send oem unit in for repair. Lot cheaper. https://navrepair.com/products/ford-lincoln-sony-sync-2-apim-with-myford-touch-8-screen-repair-service Edited June 20, 2018 by enigma-2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJG Posted June 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 (edited) Lincoln dealership where I have the car serviced is doing it....$892.00. Just have to mark it up to maintenance....It's been a good car for 6 1/2 years. . Edited June 21, 2018 by RJG 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
