Just an update at this point. The issue has occurred again today. Normally once the vehicle cools the issue goes. But not today. I have tried clearing DTCs as well which has not worked. I have not had a chance to check the battery yet. What is the best way to check it would you say? Or is it worth replacing the FCIM? I have attached my DTC log; if anyone can help point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it. DTCs symptoms present 12aug2025.txt

Welcome.   I don't have any suggestions on what's likely the cause, but would scan for codes with Forscan or Forscan Lite.

Finished replacing my sway bar end links last week end, OEM links were rotting out so I replaced them with a set of Mevotech links from Rockauto. Save yourself some aggravation when removing the old ones. If you follow the manual you will be there all day getting frustrated. After soaking them down with penetrant oil I put some vice grips on the back of them and backed the nut out maybe 1/4 inch with the impact gun and just cut through behind them with a recip saw. Turned out one of the links front and back were rotted through. Battery died on me the morning I was taking it to the shop couple of weeks ago to have the brake booster looked at so at least I have one win in the books for the summer.

Hi, I have a 2010 Edge Limited that will not start when hot. No crank, no start. If I wait like 10-20 mins, it starts right up. New battery (1yr old), new ignition switch. Interesting find though... I went out and bought an Autel MX808 and I can go into the PCM, set it for Active Test, then toggle "Starter Motor Output Detected" from off to on...then vrooom...Starts right up. EVERY time. Unfortunately, it takes about 5 mins to get to that option. I know this is NOT a long term fix, but it's nice to know I have narrowed down the problem, and found a work-around. Note- when I select the option to "ON," I hear a click in the dash. I am assuming the Autel is faking out the PCM to tell it the vehicle is ok to start now.  My question is this....can anyone help me in identifying what wire this is and to where? I know it's PCM related. Does anyone have a pinout? I would like to somehow bypass this, or at the very least, change out the wire if there is a short somewhere....I just do not know where to begin. Any help is greatly appreciated! Regards, Pete G. 

Dealer telling me there are voltage issues that could possibly be causing the steering issue, I had to go to the dealer and drive it with the service advisor yesterday, it did it for him.  Tech said it was pulling left really bad also, I let go of the wheel 3 times with the service advisor in the vehicle, it never left the lane or wanted too.  They drove it again after I left and said it was pulling left, could be related to the catching sensation in the wheel when going through a left curve in the road.  See what happens when they reset the BMS and anything else electronic today.  

Thanks.  I thought I fixed this on my 22 ST a couple of years ago, but it keeps coming back and I have tried everything in that area around that clip and it won't stop anymore.  I'm beginning to think it could be something like the cables as you mentioned.  

I have a 2022 ST, have had that noise now for a year and a half and the dealer put 2 new sunshades in, a new headliner and nothing, told me they couldn't figure it out. I think I figured it out, it might be the guide cables making all of the noise there is one on the left and one on the right. Going to have a buddy of mine looking into this, Keep you posted. 

My previous Edge had this problem early on, Ford dealers tried to hide it saying a software update was coming. Just before going out of warranty it got so bad they finally rebuilt the tranny and replaced the converter. Got rid of the car. Still loved the edge though, better than almost any other SUV for driving experience at 1/2 the price so went back in with ST, not ST line, now have the 6 cylinder. Haven't had any problems.

boring update but .. i persevered with my 2016 and was able to reach the fluid check cap with my left hand yesterday. tricky but no too bad for a medium sized guy. used a flashlight and had to push the radiator hose out of the way. twisted the cap off and cleaned and lubricated the o-ring. checked the fluid and noted it was full and pink and smelled like automobile perfume 😎

Welcome to the forum Greg.  Just wanted to let you know you are responding to a post from 14 years ago.  It's possible these folks are no longer on the forum.  Not a big deal, as you aren't really asking for any help (that I can make out), but just wanted to let you know, in case you missed it.
