That is interesting that they changed out the rear hoses.(I wish you knew why?) I was told that mine would be changed out ONLY if they were leaking or damaged, but the old ones will be warrantied for another 5 years if they do start to leak or are damaged. I was not real happy to hear this because a failure at speed will / might be VERY dangerous. 

Who did you purchase the vehicle from?

did you ever figure this out? Im replacing my read diff and will need to program it. Im good to buyu the program and adapter, I just dont know what adapter id need. 

I just got this letter today, saying the fix is available.  I just happened to put my Edge in the shop a couple of days ago to fix another TPMS sensor, and have another one replaced under warranty (they replace it a few months ago, and it failed).  I had them check the recall also, and I don't know if they found it bad or not, but they replaced it anyway.  So I should be good to go for the potential brake problem, and hopefully all my TPMS sensors.  I will be giving this car to my son, who will use it until he gets back on his feet, then give it to his son.  That was the deal I made with him.  So I wanted to make sure the car was all serviced up and as good as can be.

Heat, the connector is inside a cavity closed by a big rubber grommet.  The cavity itself is midway between being inside the engine and being at the surface of the engine.  Not exposed to weather , just heat.

Thanks for updating.   What do you think caused the wiring to deteriorate like that?

I found the short, it was not the crankshaft sensor itself but its connector.  The two wires were exposed on an amazing length of plastic sleeve gone.  So ford Edge owners....engine cranks , does not start , does not ignite...check that.  Pictures attached.

You should also check the connections for the puck.  If you are getting no signals, that could be the problem.

i didnt see anything in it about the clock, but its pretty self explanatory.   its displays no time and the clock settings are locked out right now.   i knew i had no gps signal, and i just confirmed i have no sirius signal either.   but i also dont have a shark fin on this year, its the little oval puck.   like i said, i think i may be soft locked out of it at the moment. i went ahead and pulled the battery cable again. well see what happens this evening.

Both are located in the shark fin rear antenna.   Have you checked your Owner's Manual?
