Hello everyone, I’ve been following this thread with a lot of interest — great work from all of you digging into the 360 retrofit! I’ve been wanting to achieve a similar result, but I decided to take a different approach. I went with a third-party 360 AVM kit and set it up to integrate with the SYNC screen on my 2023 Ford Edge. There really isn’t anything compatible out of the box with the Edge, but I noticed the Edge and Ranger share similar hardware and modules. And notice I said similar — not the same. It’s been a long process — I’ve done tons of research and a fair amount of trial and error to figure out the video inputs, CANBUS integration, and DIP switch configurations needed to get everything displaying correctly with the factory screen and triggers. With this I do have dynamic guidelines, parking sensors, multiple views along with the top-down bird view. Also I did retain the factory camera and camera view, and I can jump between factory view and 360 kit view. It’s still a work in progress, but going this route gives me more flexibility compared to being locked into the OEM restrictions. I’ll share more updates as I continue refining the setup. Next steps will be to mount all the cameras

I don't think they are " one-time use " either but Ford is being cautious. It's like saying, on older cars, every time you change the oil you have to change the oil drain plug gasket. Not a true statement. It's very tight in there to remove that PTU cover plate without moving anything else. I chose to buy a MityVac unit specifically for vacuuming out the gear fluid. Sucked it almost dry. I used another MityVac unit, so I didn't have to clean them in-between same-time uses for the PTU, to pump the new gear oil in. Took the correct amount of fluid as specified in the manuals. ( That's why I said it sucked it dry ) And, of course, a lot less messier.

Well, I've done something rash. Traded my 2019 Flex NA AWD for a 2024 Edge ST. The Flex had 105K on the clock and I wanted a vehicle with a official Ford tow package for the small trailer I'll be pulling. Local Ford store had one I liked, so I got it. Has a few more miles than I'd like (39K), but I might just run it for a couple years and switch to an Explorer ST (unless you all talk me out of it...). It is fun to drive and in regular driving is getting better mileage that the Flex. We'll see how it tows the trailer, as I leave Wednesday for the trip. The Flex had tons of room when you laid down the second row seats, so I'm gonna miss that, but the trailer lets me put some stuff that used to go in the car now into the trailer. It's just a 5X8 trailer holding my Honda ATV. So all told maybe 1200lbs. The items I put in the back of the car for the trip should just fit. I need 67" and the Edge has 70". Tuesday is loading day. Sorry I don't have a pic of the car yet. But it's a very dark Blue. Don't know the official color name... The B&O sound system is kinda cool. Pic attached to show what has to fit in the back... it comes apart, but the longest piece is 67" long. sidebar: why did it put the pic sideways, and how do I correct it?🤔

If it helps anyone doing this themselves, I'm able to monitor transmission fluid temp (the TFT PID) using the MXLink obd2 bluetooth connector.

The little things matter 😉 Added glove box compartment light back in the Edge. Don't know why Ford deleted it in the first place. Scored a 2017 Edge glove box lamp harness and damper from the junkyard. With a little bit of DIY (dremel action & soldering), swapped out the LED PCB for a brighter aftermarket one. I made a T-harness to tap into the passenger side (visor) vanity mirror lamp circuit. Ran that down the psngr side A-pillar all the way to the glove box.

Happy to be aboard. I own a 2018 Edge Titanium.

Hello, picked up a 2020 Edge ST last week and looking forward to digging into what it is all about. Have a 2013 Focus ST that I’ve worked and modified quite a bit. Hope to find some good info and share anything I can.

My 2024 has the cooler, and I used the suction method to get the fluid out. I wanted to remove the cooler but the studs to remove it are basically impossible to get a socket or wrench on so I gave up.

I confirmed with Bellevue Ford tech that their service manual says the same about adding 1L once full to the 2019+ ST.

Finally got the time to install the rotors and pads I got in June on my ST. Not that hard to do if you have the right tools. The 7mm and 11mm Allen sockets and the 18mm standard socket are not normally found in most tool sets you buy. A 1/2 inch impact wrench is also a good idea to have for the job. I can't find the thread here, but the idea to use a bolt through the holes for the anchor plate to remove the rotors is spot on. Both front rotors would not budge using a rubber mallet. I only had time to do the break in. So I cannot comment on how they function yet. The front pads had a lot of life left and the rotors were in pretty good shape. The rear pads were completely worn out and needed to be changed. I'll report back on how the brakes perform.

Changed the fluid in the 2019 Edge ST today. 45k miles on it, fluid looked a touch red still and didn't stink. No metal shavings. TFT up to ~185 Drained 4.7 qt / 4.44 L Added 5.28 qt / 5 L per FSM TFT up to >185 Pulled leveling plug and drained .68 qt / .650 L out (until fluid dripped down side of case) Added 1.05 qt / 1 L after leveling plug back in (??? its what FSM said so I did it ..) No idea if I was low to begin with but I followed the FSM exact. 2022 Edge ST Transmission Fluid Drain and Refill (2).pdf 2019_edge_transmission.pdf

Just saying Hi. New member to the forum with a recently purchased 2018 Edge SE w/ 54k miles on it. Hoping to have a good experience with it.

Update: I changed my RDU & PTU fluids recently. I was surprised to find the RDU actually had a drain plug. Not all cars do. While I filled it up simply as boostededge said above, I pumped it in using a pressurized device and it actually took the full amount as specified in the manual. As for the PTU, I sucked the old fluid out using a vacuum device and pumped fluid in using the same pressurized device I used for the RDU, and again, it took the full amount as specified in the manual. As far as whether or not the PTU has a cooler, I'm wondering if a PTU cooler is installed where original vehicle destination is a dealership in the hotter climates of the country. IE; NorthEast US has colder climates than Arizona so I would expect, maybe, that would be why Arizona would get a PTU cooler and the NorthEast does not. (?)

For giggles, I actually ran my 2018 Edge through Chat GPT with some cosmetic modifications and a hidden light bar. Didn't get the wheels right but the grille is on point. Aside from that, nothing new to report.

I would go with the H6 AGM Everstart Platinum from Walmart. Be sure to reset your battery monitoring and select a new battery code if you change size and type.

That is the 8F57 specs (full plus 1 quart), the 8F35 is just fill to the bottom of the sight plug.

You dont really have to worry about how much fluid the RDU takes if you can get the vehicle level. Just pump it in until it runs down the case and its full.

All model years have RDU with clutches. So when the clutches are disengaged it effectively "disconnects" the rear differential from the driveshaft. Pre 2019, the driveshaft will still turn because it is connected to the PTU/Transmission/Engine, while the rear differential will turn based on the speeds of the rear wheels. 2019+ models, the driveshaft stops rotating when the PTU disconnects. As can be seen in this video:

This recall is now showing on my CarFax.

I have as well. Thumbs up from me. Mine has information about my ESP, etc. Manual and wiring diagram - love it - pdf format, so it is a big file, but I love that it is searchable.

I have a 24 Ford edge and just recently noticed the parking brake applied itself when shutting off the car in my driveway (slight incline). Is this a feature on the car or a malfunction?

i had slotted rotors on one vehicle, created a bad bearing buzz type of sound when i got on the brakes. never again, unless i was actually doing a race prep build

Inch/pounds (in/lbs) is a very common torque value for smaller, more delicate parts with smaller fasteners.

Welcome and congrats!

Good to know. Hopefully the front camera will come next. I already had the rear camera replaced before under the extended warranty, not sure if the replacement would also be subject to the recall. Found more info on the recall here.

I've got 4 new seals in their original packaging and a good used plug from my wife's Mustang which we no longer have - free to a good home if you pay the USPS. Also a good deal on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000CGMPX2?creative=9325&camp=1789&linkCode=ur2&ie=UTF8&tag=slickdeals09-20&ascsubtag=f7a9e07c910011f08c5a9683d2ab67590INT&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1#averageCustomerReviewsAnchor

Believe he did. Only came up with P0113 > Intake air temp. #1 circuit high P25B0 > Fuel level sensor "A" stuck or has a malfunction. My first reaction was weak battery or defective BCM. But he didn't find any codes. Reason I suspected possible unplugged cluster is that it happened after getting car back from mechanic. ....Not that a mechanic would ever deliberately do anything underhanded. (grunt) .

Hello, all! It's good to find an active forum for just the Edge. I don't join many forums, but this one seems to be of a high quality and has great participation. I hope I am able to provide my own helpful information and add to the discussions in a positive way. BTW, I have a 2020 Edge ST in Rapid Red with the performance brake package.

Heres from the 2019 Edge ST FSM. This one is a little easier to read than the 2022 one that was posted in the other thread. Both have you adding 1 quart at the end, after you install the leveling bolt for the final time. The 2022 one posted has more info on going through gears though and is not mentioned in the 2019 one. 2019_edge_transmission.pdf

Greetings, Thank you for approving my request to join the forum. I recently bought a white 2016 SEL 2.0 and love it and look forward to learning more about it on this forum. I had not had a Ford product since we bought a new Grand Torino wagon in 1973. Since then, we have primarily had GM products. My wife still has a Cadillac CTS4 AWD and I have had 2 Chevy HHR's as my cars. The HHR's were both 2011 model year, the last year they were made and both were the top of the line 2LT models that featured several upgrades including sport suspension, a 2.4 engine, leather interior, sunroof and chrome wheels. I enjoyed them, as they handled and rode well, were fun to drive, got very good mpg and were very reliable. Recently I was on line helping one of my son's look for a HHR to replace the one he had that was totaled by a teenage driver who wasn't paying attention and tee boned my son's car. While car shopping I also found this 2016 Edge. For a long time, I had admired the looks of the Edge and also the Lincoln MKX, but had never driven one, or even ridden in one. In my searches in saw a good looking low mileage white 2016 SEL at a local Buick dealer and decided to take a look at it. I took it for a test drive and was amazed at how well it handled and rode. Also I was surprised at how well the 2.0 turbo ran. At one time I had a 2004 Mazdaspeed Miata with a factory turbo. That turbo was fun, but the turbo boost came on strong in the midrange. I was pleasantly surprised that the 2.0 Ecoboost turbo seemed like it was effective right off the bottom and that is prefect for a sedan of this size. In short, I fell in love with it and bought it. Actually, I am in love with the SEL, but not in love with the silver painted rims. So, my first question of the owners on this forum is if any of you have suggestions for replacement rims to replace the stock 18 inch painted silver rims on my new to me Edge. I always liked the chrome wheels on the HHR's that I owned as they looked good and were very easy to maintain. So, chrome would be my first choice, and second would be polished aluminum, such as may have some on some models of the Edge. I recently saw a supplier on Ebay, Factory Wheel Replacement that offered sets of polished alloy rims in sizes to fit my 2016 SEL and wondered if anybody here has any experience with this vendor. Thank you in advance for any suggestions you may have on purchasing better looking wheels for my Edge. Fred Z. Hillsboro, IL

I had searched unsuccessfully on marketplace for 18 x 8 wheels that would fit my Edge. Finally found a vendor called Factory Wheel Replacement that had polished alloy wheels in the original design for $600 plus $99 shipping and no requirement to ship mine back. I bought them and had am really happy with the results. Now I will see if I can get anything for my original wheels.

Apologies for leaving out a key data point. 2015 Edge SEL AWD 2.0L The video is good. Thanks for linking.

@GoshenTop as can be seen, it's valuable to have your Model/Year in your profile signature - Settings - Ford Edge Forum @Cerberus no need to beat yourself up over this - I only learnt about this AWD setup on the later models just the other day. MACT's videos are actually quite good, just need to fast forward past the intro which can be a little drawn-out on some of his videos.

When my PTU needing replacing, there was a muted roar type sound coming directly under the front seats. A roaring noise from the rear end is usually worn wheel bearings or differential ring and pinion gear issues in the RDU. Your mechanic found it was the RDU and refilled the unit. But the damage is done. You can't fix worn gears by just replacing the fluid. You will need to have your mechanic disassemble the RDU and visually inspect the RDU.

Thanks, I have been babying the brakes. Maybe it is time to be more aggressive.

got mine Jan 2018: new. Love the performance, comfort, quiet ride. looking for insight into fuel mileage and audio system (Sony) problem.

According to Levittown Ford, adding the factory perimeter alarm to a 2024 Edge ST with the part number ML3Z-19A361-A is NOT a simple plug-and-play installation and DOES requires dealer programming.

I’ve been doing a lot of reading on this forum as well as the Fusion forum and other Facebook posts, but I’d like to see if anyone has a more definitive and straightforward answer. As the title suggests, I would like to upgrade my cluster on my 2024 Edge ST to a digital cluster that came on the MKX or possibly even an Explorer unit. Does HKanybody have a definitive point of contact or person that does this for a fee, and is a plug-in play affair? I have ForScan light, but I don’t have the full ForScan program at this time. Thanks in advance and I appreciate all the help.

Yes it's good quality. It's around $70, and there is a coupon code you can use at the top of the website. It has hyperlinks for some things and it's a pdf so you can search. As much as things cost nowadays I think it is a good deal. You will see manual pages quoted to help on this website, they look the same as what I got.

Giving us more information will help a lot. The model year is a good start. Also I wider photo of the area where the plug is.

I got the Scorpion AS PLUS 3s installed yesterday. Its too soon to be sure about the tires. My initial impression is good. They are definitely softer then the Goodyear Eagles I had before. Road noise is very low. Expansion joint noise is about the same, not bad but still there. Handling seems to be pretty good. I think I will lose the last bit of handling near the edge of the ST's capabilities. But I don't push it too far in my old age, so no great loss. I'll come back with more when I get some miles on them.

Hello Diagnostic Dad, I have a 2011 Edge that has been displaying the same behaviour as what you’ve written about. I get a parasitic draw of 2.2A every 90secs for about 10-15secs. At first I disconnected the instrument cluster because I heard a relay or something making a sound, a tick when the draw started and then a double click sort of noise when the draw ended. But I think that was just a symptom. I also disconnected the APIM and noted that the 2.2A draw dropped to around 450mA but again I think that was just a symptom. Now I believe that the RF module is waking up for some reason which in turn wakes up the instrument cluster and APIM. So the problem I think is the RF Module. I’m wondering where and how you installed your switch? Did you install your switch on the RF Module power supply? Thanks Update: I have now tracked the problem to the TPMS module which also monitors the keyless entry fobs. I still don’t know what is waking up the module, whether it’s an internal problem or still something external. I do know that if it is off then the car goes to sleep and the current draw drops to 16mA. I’ve put a switch on the supply voltage to the module so I can turn off the module when the car is going to be parked for more than a day. I will get a replacement module to see if the problem will stop. Stay tuned. Another update: I received the TPMS/RF module today and installed it. Unfortunately the problem was not resolved. The car still “wakes up” about every 90 secs and draws 2.2A for about 15 secs. ☹️ I will continue to use the switch I installed to switch off the module and keep the battery draw at around 15mA. Whatever is causing the module to wake up must be external to the module. Maybe a signal on the MSbus?

I removed the fake factory tips and installed the 4” MBRP tips and absolutely love the look! Showing you all for reference.

So I'm going to start off by saying that I'm back, but most of you probably never knew I left. I stopped in a long time ago and made a post about my '15 two toned Electric Spice Sport. Well since then I was in a pretty traumatic accident and my love was destroyed, but somehow I managed to come out alive. I will say that it saved my life and I'm a VERY fond believer in that. 20200514_131606 by tgrfly4@sbcglobal.net, on Flickr After the accident I started shopping again and found myself a Lightning Blue Metallic '18 Sport. Everything else is a blur after that. I started spending like it was going out of style, but it was a sort of coping mechanism for me after the wreck. I'm sure many of you can get where I'm coming from. After the purchase, I got with my painter and was ready to get it into the body shop to install the SS Tuning body kit and front splitter that I had originally purchased for my 2015. I ended up purchasing a set of used 3pc AMF Forged 22x10.5 wheels that had originally came off a Edge that was built for SEMA a couple years back. The car also got a different stance using the H&R Springs that everyone knows and loves, as well as a Addco rear sway bar. After I got all that ironed out, I scheduled a photoshoot and here's a few from the group.

Plan is to wrap most of the trim pieces in Hexis forged carbon fiber and then all the stainless trim will be color matched to the outside of the car. We all know its NEVER done so we will see where it goes from there. Thanks for looking. Please ask any questions and feel free to comment.

Took about 1.5 hours to complete this morning. All the old parts were in really good condition and the only real sign of deterioration was the idler bearing, it had expelled a little lubricant and felt just a little notchy. There's no room to get a socket and breaker bar on the tensioner to retract it for removal and installation of the belt so resorted to two ratchet wrenches seen in one of the photos. No doubt these components were good for another few thousand miles but I cant put a number to it, so given the choice again I'd change them at the same mileage, 103,000 mi.

That is how I did it. 2 fasteners and then two clips. Easy as could be. i bought the dual horn assembly already on the bracket for about $50. Plug and play. Part # FA1Z-13832-A There are some YouTube videos that show the entire easy process.

The only real downsides to using trans fluid are that trans fluid does not have the same film strength, sheer stability or viscosity.., but if you're going to keep on it for maintenance, it will not be a problem. Probably. Just know that a leak will empty it much faster than it would with OEM fluid, and the grease that was in there (dried up gear lube) had more lubricity to it than the film left behind by transmission fluid if it leaked out. the right side seal should be monitored closely. I'm curious how this will turn out. Keeps us updated?

Slight update. Still no resolution to the problem. We have a workaround in place now where I put a switch in-line with the RF module. We use the physical key to unlock the door then flip the switch to make the key fob work for starting the Edge. When parking for the night (or longer) we lock the doors by hand and turn off the switch to stop the drain. On a possibly related note, we kept getting the battery saver message even after a long trip when the battery should be fully charged. We replaced both of the current sensors near the battery and it seems to have resolved that problem. The radio will keep playing after turning the car off now. Unfortunately there was no impact on the parasitic drawl. In doing research it seems like this is not an uncommon problem. I would have hoped someone would have identified the root cause. I wouldn't mind replacing a module or two if it fixed the problem.

I'm still here. I've grown to appreciate the edge more. I'd even consider getting a new one. Coming from the rocket ships I was driving before this it was a bit of a shock. I still have several dislikes. I hate the dash cluster, I hate sync, and I hate that the car has zero audible exhaust note. But I love the interior, and now that my Scat Packs that I paid 41k for (46-48k sticker) are laughably being sold for 65k. I appreciate the edge st more. I would NEVER pay 65k for a dodge charger or challenger with the garbage interior quality that mine had. I love the sound system on the edge, best I've ever heard in a car, I love the headlights, I love the sunroof, I love the handling, I love the versatility, I love the looks, I love the self driving features, I love the front camera, I love the color... there are a lot of things I love. Once I realized that this was an suv and that 5.7s 0-60 is pretty respectable my attitude changed. Also owning the car for a year (still only has 5k miles on it) and having no issues other than a chipped windshield that nobody knows how to properly replace (had it done twice, and neither time they got the seal right. Second time they dented the hood (but PDR folks are thankfully magicians). I got the Motorola ma1 for wireless Android auto and thay helped a lot with mitigating the buggy nature of sync not picking up on my USB stored music. My neighbor has a Durango RT and it's way slower than the edge but it sounds so much better. I just don't understand why Ford gave such a quiet exhaust on an ST. Oh I'm also still not a huge fan of the transmission, it has some rough shifts here and there. I don't regret my purchase though. Idk how I got a brand new fully loaded edge ST for just about 41k. All of the 2022s are 55k+ now. My car was built in late December 2020 is a 2020 model year. I have a feeling it was supposed to be a 2021 but they didn't have the screen to make it a 2021 so they just made it a 2020 with the old screen. I don't think I'd spend 55k on the edge st honestly, since you can get other slightly slower but equally equipped cars for much much cheaper but for what I paid there is absolutely nothing comparable on the road. I often defend the Edge ST against people who say "it's not an ST" idk what world those people are living in but the ST Focus and Fiesta were never fast cars. I think the ST focus did 0-60 in 6.5 seconds, which the edge beats. After doing the ST SUV Experience I'm well aware of the handling abilities of this car, it's amazing. Oh one more thing that bugs me but is not uncommon for performance cars, I wish this had adjustable steering. The wheel is very heavy which is good for around town precision driving but very tiring on long road trips. Not too bothersome for me since I rent a car anytime I go more than 250 miles round trip but...
