  1. This is the very best one...http://motormouth.com.au/myvehicle/consumptioncalculator.aspx I have 2011 Edge Sport Gas/LPG conversion.Either way ,running on gas or LPG I get constantly about 25/27 MPG ,friend of mine who drives my Edge time from time get usually 18/ 20 MPG .So it is clearly individual thing.
  2. 130 $,it took us about 30 minutes from start to finish
  3. Hi, getting xenon lights is definitely good option,I did it on my 2011 Edge Sport which otherwise comes with factory halogen lights only and difference is enormous ,;halogen lights does not perform at all in comparison with xenons,I use aftermarket stuff with wiring specific to Edge.As far as update is concerned,I face same limits ,no Sirius,no Navigation yet( will come as option soon with new 2012 Ford European models) but update is more related to car issues anyway so it is worth to download it.You do not have to register though ,you can download software as guest just using your VIN.
  4. Adam you can simply convert reverse lights to fit legal requirements.
  5. Hi, can you supply us with wiring diagram for 2011 Edge yet please? It should concern all wiring related to locking/unlocking/starting car,security features etc,....I have 2011 Ford Edge here in Europe and she has just died fortnight ago and nothing helped so far.She will lock/unlock but she won't start at all .Your wiring will be greatly appreciated. Thanx Ivan.
  6. Mate American car that won't start need no brakes in my opinion.....by the way,,my 2011 Edge is dead ( won't start at all) for last 14 days and we all over here scratching our heads what's wrong with it. Personally I do not see cars as American or foreign since they all contain so many international parts it made them blend together,not to mention fact that your as well as mine Edge was made in Canada

    Edge is dead

    Kirby I try second key as well,no difference,but I'm going to check everything from ground up tomorrow again,we left Edge in another place because we were in hurry to get home for Christmas so there was really time just do basics try or two and leave... Puzzled is the proper word,hopefully it is going to be something banal and stupid like fuse or relay.My other car is 1993 Miata MX5,210 000 miles on the clock ,she never failed,not a single time,water pump has been changed once due to small leak,that was it,she is my daily drive.Another car in garage ( mostly ) is 2007 Jaguar XK8 with 25 K on the clock,not a single issue till now.Having said this,I must quote that not all Japs are paramount of perfection though MX5 certainly is in my opinion,someone should take notice.Jaguar,while excellent car is actually well known for plenty of reliability issues,not to mention that Jaguar already for quite some time uses Ford technology what actually makes them better cars since Ford bought them out in '87 . Appreciate your help guys

    Edge is dead

    At first we use jump cables ,other car battery has similar capacity/power and other car was running so there was more then enough power available for Edge.This did not help so we replace battery completely(it wasn't really necessary) with same result,no start.Everything else is working,locks,lights,fans,radio,power windows but engine......

    Edge is dead

    Probably immobilizer,all symptoms are there,and yes attempted theft ,that's what I was thinking first as well .You are spot on so far.I did disconnect battery as first thing and shortcut cable terminals to get all conductivity out of system,did pull world famous fuse 29 ,nothing helps so far.

    I'm going to look for basics as fuses and relays as well as hook up diagnostics after holiday period is over,this will tell us lot I hope.Funny thing is that display/instrument panel,I mean way it is lit ,maybe immobilizer in on?I thought for minute to shortcut starter to get her going but it might do some damage to CAN BUS or else so Iwill try gather as much ideas from you guys and try sort out then what's going on.

    Edge is dead

    Thanx for quick reply mate.......no CEL light at all since instrument panel is lit with solid blue light,only speedometer and mileage count is visible otherwise nothing at all.There is no noise from starter relay,car is absolutely quiet.You can turn on/off radio,adjust climate controls but that's it.Any ideas please?

    Edge is dead

    Own 2011 Edge Sport for few months only,went through numerous troubles/issues all has been sorted out except ............Real trouble did occur/happen last night,car won't start at all.Upon opening driver's door,alarm went and sounded on for minute or two and lights will flash for few more minutes after alarm went off.Instrument cluster was lit with pale blueish light and only thing you can see there was count of kilometers /miles in left bottom corner and speedometer .MFT screen came on as well and its features will actually work as it suppose to but main thing was that engine does not start at all.I try reset system via MFT,pulling all sort of plugs and connectors/fuses but to no avail,car just refuse to cooperate.Car will lock and unlock normally but that is just about what you can get out of her.Battery has been replaced,i.e. additional power source was added via jump start cables ,nothing helps.I try reset system via USB port wit latest software patch but as I said nothing came out of this effort.Wile doing this ,screen says there is 1/one bad file.I'm getting frustrated that such beautiful car perform this poorly,this is truly incomprehensible for me.Will greatly appreciate guys your advice since local Ford dealers know about car less then I do ,there is added urgency to this since this happen on the trip to neighboring country,so we left car behind to spent Christmas rather other way then try resuscitate Ford on the parking lot with little knowledge how to do it. Problem solved,we took nearly all car apart since diagnostics were not of much help at all.All modules were alright,all parameters as well,we put it back together and she fires right up.Not happy though because we still do not have idea what cause all this trouble.Fact is though that it helps a lot to subscribe for few days to www.motorcraftservice.com,tons of information,you must be stupid not to be able fix your car if you follow guidelines,I wish all manufacturers have website like this,well maybe they do not need it ,they simply build solid cars.So far car is actually very economic ride,drives only two days a week and stays in the our workshop for rest of it.Beautiful shape,perfect drive but constant disaster considering reliability,Murphy 's laws ( all of them) apply all over the Edge.
  13. Hi ,I need to locate outside temperature sensor as well,do you know precise location within grille area please?Just do not want take whole thing apart if not necessary,regards Ivan.
  14. Hi, talking improved fuel consumption,do you have any numbers?? I have 2011 Edge Sport FWD and we get anywhere in between 9/11 liters /100 km (25/27 MPG,either on gas/petrol or LPG,regards Ivan.
  15. I did disconnect battery as this was easier to do in dark and after reboot all is fine except changing air temperature in legroom area up& down is less responsive. Once again thanx,just looking at the posts last night I learn lot about what to expect next from otherwise bold & beautiful car Edge that is .As curiosity for you folks,I have converted Edge to Gas/LPG combination with sophisticated sequential set up,not easy thing to do since car is more sophisticated then anyone might expect, engine,drivetrain& electronics are on par with Porsche Cayenne (unfortunately not aligned doors and panels and interior trim and MFT are not) Mileage we get on highways is about 25/27 MPG on LPG and about same running on gas. Engine is even more plush/ torquey and quiet ,only thing you can hear is humming LPG injectors. LPG tank replaced spare tire and has 70 litres /18/5 gallons capacity. Costs of running on LPG is about half of that running on petrol,if anyone is interested to see I will post pix of LPG set up. Cheers.[/i
