Did fluids on the my 2019 ST. The oil change is no big deal. PTU is a pain. I drained the unit by removing the cooler bolts and just sliding the cooler out enough to let the fluid drain. Those bolts are not easy to get at. I think the two bolts alone, took over an hour to remove and replace. I filled it using one of those 500ml syringe things you see on Amazon. The differential is easy except getting the input plug out. It is a 3/8 square female plug. Should be easy, but Ford puts a cross brace in the way. I ended up partially rounding the end of an extension to make it a square ball. I used Ford fluids for the PTU and Differential. $79 for both at the dealer.

The title kind of says it all. The service manual says that you can only use the jack points on the body to jack the Edge. That is where I want to put the jack stands. Where is a good place(s) to use a floor jack to raise the vehicle to put it one stands?

What the dealer is saying is BS. I added the radar to my 2019. The sensor is right behind the shield part of the lower grill. I cannot imagine any way that the bracket could be broken without damage to the lower grill shield. It is much more likely that the lower grill was replaced after an impact that also broke the bracket. Look at the area around the lower grill to see if there is any damage. I could see a scenario where the whole front bumper was replaced by a dealer. They did not want to spend an extra two grand on the radar. The dealer would be forced to use all new Ford parts. Did you see a Carfax by any chance? I bet it was in an accident. I would raise holy hell with the dealer. They have to do a full inspection in order to offer a Ford extended warranty. Did they give you an inspection report? They need to disclose that the fact that the car was not up to spec. I am 99% sure that you have the cheaper of the two brackets. (22AA). You can buy a new sensor on ebay for a couple of hundred bucks. There is a chance that the sensor is still working. However, for $200 I would replace it. Removing the bumper is actually pretty easy. The whole job can be done in a couple of hours.

That amp should really kit ass even with the low power being applied. You might have to update the rest of your system to keep up.

The body is only as good a ground as the connection between it and the negative terminal of the battery. I am pretty sure that there are several connections on the Edge.

The amp, at full load, will pull anywhere from 30amps for an 8 ohm load to 150amps for a 1 ohm load. I would think the ground needs to be as robust as the positive wire. I would run a separate ground wire all the way to the battery if it was my Edge. If I remember correctly. The body grounds on the edge are 12 gauge wire at best. They are not designed to take the load that will put on them.

2nd SUCCESS. Thanks to Wubster100's work on this. I did buy a new lower grill and radar mount. I am waiting for the new steering wheel switch so I can change the distance on the fly, it is stuck on 3 right now. (I am pretty sure this can be changed with Forscan, but not on the fly of course.) This mod will only work on 2019 and later Edges. It is limited to 30mph and above ACC. As far as I know all US and Canada Edges, model year 2019 and later come standard with correct camera in the mirror housing. They most likely have the bus wiring all the way to the front bumper. Wubster and I are hoping to create a how to guide once we get the steering wheel switches installed and configured. All that will be needed is the radar unit, radar mount and a short 4 wire harness. Less then 10 changes to be done with Forscan.

Thanks, I think I ordered the wrong one on ebay. It said it was for the Edge and the broken bracket looked correct. But it had a different number. KT4T-9G853-AG. I guess I will have to hook it up and see what happens.

How did you limit your search? Did you only look for the same year? Or ??

Where did you buy the CCM from?

Wow, this is exciting. I don't care about stop and go. Can you put together a cook book version of how you did this? What parts are needed and what needs to be done in Forscan?

This is exciting stuff. Please take pictures if you can.

We are all in this together.

Here is the lower grill for the 2019 Edge. I wonder if there is an actual difference?

I have a 2019 ST with ACC and the shutters are not a problem. Getting a solid and adjustable mount without buying the lower grill might be an issue. But it is not an impossible task. Hopefully connector 193 is already there. Hopefully you can see if 192 has the needed wires when you have the bumper off.
