You do know about adjusting the rear disc brakes with the emergency brake?

No, it cannot be started without the fob. The fob doesn't need to work to unlock the doors with the buttons or proximity sensor, or even inside proximity sensor. There is a spot in the center console you can place the fob with the key ring forward and the buttons up to bypass the proximity if the battery is dead in the fob.

The first step would be to bleed the brakes without the engine running i.e. no vacuum for the booster.

Just bled the brakes with zero bubbles. So I’m assuming a bad master cylinder or a faulty new booster. This is very frustrating. 

@Davidoo: Ford has narrowed access to Connected Vehicle data to protect vehicle owner privacy, so I'm no longer able to access any cross-reference of numerical software version to Ford Power-Up designation.   Your dealership Service Writer should be able to view the Connected Vehicle data that includes an Over The Air (OTA) Dashboard, which shows past OTA vehicle updates with a pop-up description of their Power-Up designations.   Good luck!  

@ksquared: Good to hear your Edge has been reasonably trouble-free since you purchased it in late 2019.   Because you describe the liftgate raising in a more pronounced way on its left side, where the power motor assembly is located, I'm wondering if you've ever replaced the gas-filled lift assist strut that is located on the right side of the liftgate?   The following, from the 2016 Edge Workshop Manual, is an edited version of Power Liftgate diagnostic Pinpoint Test "I", aimed toward evaluating the gas-filled lift assist strut...   Possible Causes Excessive weight on the liftgate, such as snow, ice or a bicycle rack Liftgate assist cylinder Power liftgate initialization   If results indicate Liftgate cylinder replacement is needed, help from an assistant to support the weight of the Liftgate while the retaining clips are released, the Liftgate cylinder is removed, and the Liftgate is manually lowered in a safe and controlled way...           Web searching the Ford part number will likely many online sellers and lower pricing.   If the Liftgate cylinder supports the Liftgate at all positions, then you may want to perform the Power Liftgate Initialization procedure from the Edge Workshop Manual...   Power Liftgate Initialization Disconnect the battery or remove the RGTM fuse(s).   NOTE: Remove the battery power from the RGTM for 20 seconds before entering initialization mode. Wait 20 seconds and reconnect the battery or reinstall the RGTM fuse(s).   If the liftgate is not already in the fully closed position, manually close and fully latch the power liftgate. Using a diagnostic scan tool, clear all fault codes for the RGTM . NOTE: If equipped, make sure the power liftgate system is turned ON in the message center before performing this step. NOTE: If the power liftgate does not open during this step, refer to the Symptom Chart to diagnose the inoperative power liftgate. Power open the liftgate by using a programmed RKE transmitter or the front control switch. Once the liftgate is fully open, power close the liftgate by using a programmed RKE transmitter or the front power liftgate control switch. Carry out the RGTM self-test.   The wiring diagram shows the Rear Gate Trunk Module (RGTM) power is protected by Fuse 10 (5-amp)...         If neither of these courses of action yield improvement, you may want to get your Edge's modules scanned for Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), perhaps at a National Brand auto parts store or your favorite neighborhood parts store, then please report back and we'll consider additional diagnostic procedures.    Several of the above references are attached below as PDF documents...   Good luck!   Body Control Module (BCM) - Location Illustration - 2016 Edge.pdf Rear Gate Trunk Module (RGTM) - Power Distribution Wiring Diagram - 2016 Edge.pdf Body Control Module (BCM) - Fuse-Circuit(s) Listing - 2016 Edge.pdf Body Control Module (BCM) - Illustration Showing Fuse & Connector Locations - 2016 Edge.pdf Power Liftgate Initialization - General Procedures - 2016 Edge Workshop Manual.pdf

Greetings!   I recently traded in my 2016 Focus ST and picked up a 2020 Edge ST with a touch over 30k on the clock.  I don't have any pics yet but am curious on some mods to bring some more life to the Edge.  Looks like there are a few aftermarket tuner options though my Edge came with an extended power train warranty until 100k or March 2028 so a tune might be down the road a ways.  An intercooler is on order....now to figure out the best way to remove the bumper 🙃 Any other mods I should pursue?  Took a look at various forscan spreadsheets but didn't really get the jist that much applies to the 2020(or I simply don't know enough yet).  Tilt down mirrors on reverse looks interesting.        

Time to get the volt meter out, as P0715 is an intermittent voltage loss and P0717 is FULL voltage loss.   https://www.700r4transmissionhq.com/p0717-ford-edge/

i was meaning to say start and drive the car with no key FOB .. only the emergency key.

is this possible? i own a 2016 edge and assumed that i could start it with the emergency key. now i am thinking not possible.
