Retired AF MSgt.  Morse Code operator (with 2 years in a communications center just to mix things up).  Airborne for 5 1/2 years (RC-135s).  Been to Japan, Omaha, Alaska and Hawaii.  Retired in San Antonio, TX in 2000.  Man, that was a long time ago.  My thanks to all my brothers and sisters who served.

Huh.  I never really thought about it,  but yeah, I can see myself missing that also.  I use the rear door lock probably as much or more than I use the front door lock.  It is interesting though that my '23 Explorer still has the rear door locks.  Or maybe they're back on there.  Hmm, dunno.

I did replace the battery,  I will def try the e-slot.

Goto your local Ford parts counter and let him look it up. Plus they may have the replacement connector with wires in stock. (I was able to get a headlight connector with wires from a Chrysler dealer years ago. They told me they usually stock these to fix melted connectors.)

HiHighly doubt you can find a replacement part. Its made by a vendor, possible one of several, and these are not designed to be parted out. Try finding a replacement at a junk yard.    Try starting here (known Edge dealers)   https://share.google/DIyChm6yugXCypiwW   https://share.google/ARbvY7raqrLhgumfg   https://share.google/sPjQTlNwCAciRBiJQ   Possible eBay (one example for approx price. May not be right color but gives an idea) https://ebay.us/m/CRLXTh

I'd try a new battery. Being subjected to being underwater, probably shorted then drained the battery. Here's how to open:  

Well I just dropped some major $ into the Lincoln. Major is a relative term as I just ordered new wheel bearings for it, got both fronts and both rears for $128 delivered. All the parts were on closeout on RockAuto. The howling has gotten significantly worse over the summer so I figure at least the rears need changed out. At this point I might as well show her some love and do all 4 corners. After that I will put on at least two new (or good used) tires and get an updated two piece driveshaft for it. The car has performed in both Iowa cold (-25F) and heat (100F+) with no issues at all. I am confident I can get it through the winter and into spring without too much concern at this point. My total investment (not counting fuel and insurance) is now $824.98. Seems like a lot now but I will have had it one year in August so it is still less than $100/month. The tires and driveshaft will push it to over $1000 but it still seems better than the other options right now. Never thought I would still be driving it a year later but at this point she is a keeper and I am just going to see how far I can take it without a major failure; like engine or trans related, anything else I will just fix. 

After all the horror stories and lack of positive stories on this Recall, I’m definitely not having this done on our Edge.  The whole thing is really weird.

With all of these favorable tariffs for the US into all of these foreign countries, the only  "cheap" super car left is a 5.0 Ford Mustang! Especially since Ford is  campaigning a Mustang Dark Horse in several racing classes. 

I wanted to revisit this item as I too have decided to "wait & see" if there were any other members that suffered dire consequences from getting this reprogramming done. If you have had issues not already expressed here please share your experience and what consequences you might have had. Thanks!
