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?

As STBEAST said, it's impossible to tell why your 2020 Edge has a drain.  So many possibilities.  You bought it used so you would have to go back to the original owner and even then they may not have an answer.     People have posted on youtube how to install your own drain plug on one's Ford Edge PTU where one never existed before.  That's one possibility.  Could have been swapped from an earlier model.  That's another possibility.  You could have gotten lucky.  That is a good thing.   My 2020 has neither a PTU drain plug nor a PTU cooler.

Thanks for the reply stbeast.  Yes I was happy to see the drain plug.  Love this car hope I have no major issues with it.  Am going to do all the recommended fluid changes and hope for the best.  As with all brands and makes it the minority that have issues not the majority.  Alot has to do with driving habits and maintenance.  Thanks again for any input.

Ideally I would like comments from people that have first hands experience on having a crankshaft position sensor reading 0 ohm between its 2 pins.  My engine cranks but does not start and none of the cylinders has spark.  I measured the resistance across the two pins of a spare crankshaft position sensor and it reads 675 ohms; I unplugged the PCM connector C175E and the resistance across pins 46 and 47 (CKP+ CKP-) is 0 ohms (a short).  According to AI (but I prefer getting the info from a human) :   The expected bench resistance of the Walker Products 235-91372 crankshaft position sensor when it is unplugged should be between 400 and 800 ohms (up to 2,500 ohms max depending on ambient engine temperature). [1] ... Faulty (Short Circuit): If your meter reads 0 ohms or near zero, the internal insulation has failed, shorting out the coil.   I will remove it to confirm the short ; its location is terrible that's why I probed using the connector disconnected.
