So, absent feedback from other GEN 2 Edge owners, I'll offer the results of my online research. Edge Workshop Manuals from model years 2015-to-2022 show a panel, the Rear Center Bumper Cover Shield, which attaches to the bottom of the bumper cover with six screws, extends forward then upward between the muffler and the bumper bar or factory hitch bar, with the top leg screwed to the underside of the cargo area floor structure. The following Workshop Manual images have the pictured Rear Center Bumper Cover Shield outlined in yellow... I searched online OEM parts-sellers and Ford's own FordParts.com, and no reference to the Rear Center Bumper Cover Shield exists, including among illustrations of rear bumper cover buildups. I then pulled VINs for all GEN 2 model years from Edge's equipped with the Tow Package currently offered for sale online, and for each VIN, I ran Historical Vehicle Bill of Material reports, which list parts numbers of components specifically installed on each vehicle. Again, no reference to the Rear Center Bumper Cover Shield existed. If your zip-tie tethers to your rear bumper cover prove unsatisfying, you could take the Workshop Manual document from the PDF download link below, to your local dealer's Parts Department to see if their resources show the Rear Center Bumper Cover Shield. Rear Bumper Cover - Removal and Installation - 2022 Edge Workshop Manual.pdf As an alternative to this potential ghost part that escaped removal from GEN 2 Workshop Manual illustrations, you could fashion a V-shaped brace out of sheet plastic or other suitable material, like the brace molded with a live-hinge into the bottom edge or rear bumper covers of GEN 1+ Edges, which attaches with a single screw to the underside of the cargo area floor, between the muffler and the bumper bar or hitch bar, which is a fairly compact area... Aloha!

To see the available drives, hold down the Windows icon keyboard key and press the E keyboard key. Right click on the USB flash drive and select Properties. If File System under the General tab is not exFAT, the drive must be formatted. To format the USB flash drive, right click on the USB flash drive, select Format, select exFAT for the File System, and select Default Allocation Size for the Allocation Unit Size. De-selecting Quick Format is not necessary and will result in a lengthier operation. (2). Using the FDRS, reprogram the GWM by selecting GWM - Gateway Module A (GWM) Software Update. Follow all on-screen instructions carefully. (3). When prompted, connect the USB flash drive to the FDRS diagnostic scan tool. NOTE: It may take up to 30 seconds for the vehicle to recognize the USB flash drive. (4). When prompted by the FDRS, safely remove/eject the USB flash drive from the FDRS diagnostic scan tool. Close all of the vehicle's doors and plug in the USB flash drive into the USB media hub in the vehicle. The vehicle will recognize the USB flash drive and allow up to 10 minutes for the update to start automatically. (5). Next the SYNC touchscreen will prompt to restart the vehicle. With the USB flash drive still in the vehicle, turn the vehicle ignition OFF and keep all of the vehicle's doors closed and allow the vehicle to power down for at least 5 minutes. The SYNC touchscreen may stay turned on for a few more seconds after turning off the vehicle. (6). With the USB flash drive still in the vehicle and after waiting 5 minutes with all of the vehicle's doors closed, turn the vehicle ignition ON. Allow the vehicle to power on and look for a Update Successful pop up in the vehicle SYNC touchscreen. If a Restart Is Required message pops up again, this may be due to having the vehicle's doors open when turning off the ignition. (7). Once the pop-up stating Update Successful appears in the SYNC screen, select Close, remove the USB flash drive from the USB media hub and connect it to the FDRS diagnostic scan tool, and select OK on the FDRS. This initiates the remaining automated configuration steps and reports the GWM assembly, vehicle interface processor (VIP), calibration, customer interface processor (CIP), and application software levels to the Ford online database. Failure to follow this step results in an inaccurate database as well as omitted, improperly installed, or improperly configured applications (features) such as navigation (if equipped). It is normal for the GWM to reset during this step. 4. If a GWM software update was performed, re-run the network test on the FDRS. Is an APIM software update available? (1). Yes - proceed to Step 5. (2). No - this article does not apply. Refer to WSM, Section 415-00. NOTE: A blank 64GB or larger USB flash drive is required for APIM software update. Make sure the USB flash drive being used is formatted correctly. To see the available drives, hold down the Windows icon keyboard key and press the E keyboard key. Right click on the USB flash drive and select Properties. If File System under the General tab is not exFAT, the drive must be formatted. To format the USB flash drive, right click on the USB flash drive, select Format, select exFAT for the File System, and select Default Allocation Size for the Allocation Unit Size. Make sure the Quick Format box is selected. If it is not selected, it will result in a lengthier operation. 5. Verify a battery charger connected to the vehicle's 12 volt battery. Set the charger to maintain 12.6-13.6 volts. 6. Close all doors on the vehicle. Locking the latch mechanically while the door is open will simulate a closed door. 7. Download and run the APIM Software Update application on the FDRS and follow the on-screen prompts. If any error conditions are experienced during programming, refer to WSM Section 418-01A > General Procedures > Module Programming for the Error Condition Table. NOTE: Downloading software to the FDRS may take up to 1 hour and saving that data to the USB flash drive may take up to 30 minutes. During this time, no interaction is needed with the FDRS. (1). Follow the FDRS prompts and install the USB flash drive into the vehicle. Wait 5 minutes for the updating prompts to show up in the sync screen. NOTE: It may take up to 5 minutes for the vehicle to recognize the USB flash drive. All doors must remain closed until the SYNC screen prompts a restart is required. To view the progress, you can drop down the updating screen in the sync screen. It make take up to 20 minutes for the vehicle to download all of the data from the USB flash drive. (2). When the USB has downloaded to the vehicle, the touchscreen indicates a message for Restart Required. The ignition needs to be turned off for 10 minutes. Keep all vehicle doors closed during this key off time. (3). After the 10 minutes and with all of the vehicle's doors closed, start the vehicle and allow another 5 minutes for the Update Successful message to appear in SYNC screen. Once the Update Successful message appears, the USB flash drive may be removed, and the doors opened. A popup indicating the software has already been installed in the vehicle may show up in the SYNC screen instead of the Update Successful message. This message should be treated as a response that the APIM software has been updated. (4). Return the USB thumb drive to the FDRS and follow the on-screen prompts to complete the procedure.

In late February, Ford issued a Technical Service Bulletin exclusively for 2021 Edge/Nautilus to address a laundry list of Sync 4 problems that surfaced in vehicles lacking an over-the-air APIM/Sync Module update. Determining if the TSB applies is accomplished by looking up the vehicle's OTA Update Dashboard for the most recent APIM/Sync Module update timing. You might try contacting your dealer and have them pull up your Edge's APIM/Sync Module update history & OASIS Sync Service histories, to see if this TSB service action might solve your Edge's Sync troubles. If the TSB applies, the repair requires a visit to the dealership with the vehicle and both keyfobs. Below is a PDF download link to the document...

I've been working with Hawie offline. We determined that his Edge's liftgate glass had been previously broken and, unfortunately, was replaced with a unit lacking the in-glass antenna grid(s). He researched adding an aftermarket stick-on antenna grid to the inside of the replacement glass, but subsequently found online feedback saying rear window defroster usage would create radio interference. He experimented using a simple length of wire inside the window aperture and his Edge did gain some local station reception. At last report, he was pursuing an exterior-mount aftermarket antenna as a long-term solution, which he might eventually provide us an update on. Good luck!

From the 2020 Edge Workshop Manual... Wireless Accessory Charging Module (WACM) - Overview The WACM is a 5 Watt wireless power transmitter designed to energize a secondary coil that may already be equipped in a secondary device (smart phone), or as an added accessory (wireless charging phone sleeve). The WACM supports wireless charging of the Wireless Power Consortium’s (WPC) Qi, pronounced “Chee". The WACM is a powered at all time node from fused battery and performs network management on HS-CAN3 . Wireless charging status is provided as a CAN signal on the HS-CAN3 . The BCM provides a protected switch to battery input to the WACM when an interior passive key search is in progress to disable the wireless charging feature. This is to prevent possible interference with the passive key when placed in close proximity to the WACM during a charge session of a secondary device. A redundant CAN signal is also sent by the BCM in addition to the protected switch to battery input. Good luck!

An online resource for dealership sales reps indicates Ice Blue as the only Ambient Light color on 2022 & 2021 Edges... ...and it shows 2020 Edge being the last model year having multi-color Ambient Light selection... According to Helm Inc, Ford has not yet released to them the 2022 Edge Workshop Manual. Hopefully, they are correcting issues like the Ambient Light feature in the 2022 Edge edition, which Helm will eventually market on a CD. Omar302's encouragement to report the unreliable 'On' Ambient Lights setting to your dealership Service department is worthwhile. If they feed the issue's existence back up the chain, through the Technical Assistance Center, a corrective software update could be developed. As an example -- and for any GEN 1+ Edge/MKX owners coming to this discussion with a comparable issue -- below is a PDF download link to TSB 14-0175... TSB 14-0175 - 2011-2014 Edge & MKX - Ambient Lighting Defaults to White or Ice Blue After Cycling Ignition Switch.pdf Good luck!

From the 2022 Edge Workshop Manual... Ambient Lighting The ambient lighting subsystem consists of the BCM , and the Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) located within the floor console, front and rear door panels, instrument panel and front and rear footwell areas. The ambient lighting is operational when the ignition is in any state other than OFF (the exception is when it is used in conjunction with the illuminated entry/exit features), the headlamps are on and the outside ambient light level is low. The BCM provides the voltage to the ambient lighting system, while the touchscreen ( FDIM ) is used to cycle through the different color variations or turn the ambient lighting feature on or off. A LIN circuit is routed from the BCM to all of the Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). There are 3 Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) (red, blue and green) housed within each LED assembly. By illuminating various color combinations, the Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are able to produce different colors of ambient light. The APIM uses software to monitor the user interface from the touchscreen. Based on the ambient lighting system selections made using the touchscreen, the APIM sends ambient light color request and ambient light intensity request messages over the communication network for color and brightness settings. The BCM retains the last color and brightness setting between uses. I looked for Ambient Lighting TSBs and SSMs, but there are none. Perhaps the next OTA update will correct it. Good luck!

Good thought, enigma-2... Good luck!

On your 2019 Edge, the roof-mounted sharkfin antenna only provides signals for the GPS and satellite radio functions. Per the 2019 Edge Workshop Manual, with additional relevant sections in PDF download links and images below... GPS /Satellite Radio Antenna The GPS /satellite radio antenna contains a GPS antenna circuit board that receives radio waves containing GPS and satellite radio data (vehicles equipped with a satellite radio). The data is sent through the coaxial cable to the APIM ( GPS data) and through a splitter to the ACM (satellite radio data). Audio Unit Antenna The audio unit antenna (also called the AM / FM 1 antenna) is an on-glass antenna, mounted to the left side of the rear window. It receives AM / FM radio waves and sends them through the audio unit antenna amplifier to the ACM via the audio unit antenna coaxial cable (also called the AM / FM 1 antenna coaxial cable). Audio Unit Antenna Amplifier The audio unit antenna amplifier (also called the AM / FM 1 antenna amplifier) amplifies AM / FM radio signals to improve reception. The amplified signal is sent through a coaxial cable to the ACM . The amplifier is powered by the ACM through the coaxial cable. FM 2 Diversity Antenna The FM 2 diversity antenna is an on-glass antenna, mounted to the right side of the rear window. The FM 2 diversity antenna improves FM reception in urban areas or anywhere large objects reflect FM signals and create multiple FM signal paths. FM 2 Diversity Antenna Amplifier The FM 2 diversity antenna amplifier amplifies FM radio signals and transmits them through a coaxial cable to the ACM . Voltage for the amplifier is provided by the ACM through the coaxial cable.

Regarding our 2015 MKX, I was fortunate that a prior owner had the factory hitch and Ford Accessories trailer wiring kit installed by the dealer, but it's worth noting that the wiring kit did not enable the trailer tow adjustments to AdvanceTrac and the Distance-To-Empty fuel mileage function. I added the Trailer Sway menu item to the Driver Assist gauge cluster dialogue using Forscan, however it doesn't accept a checkmark to enable functionality. The dealer who installed the cooling system upgrade theorized the Trailer Module would likely be necessary to gain the AdvanceTrac & DTE functions. For my purposes, the gain wasn't worth the additional cost and effort, though the above-linked discussion demonstrates that enthusiastic owner installation of the Trailer Module and required harness is possible. For a more accurate towing DTE calculation, I just reset one of the Trip memories at the beginning of my towing travel and it eventually calculates a useful DTE calculation. Looking at the installation instructions for the Ford wiring kit, which are lengthy, I would be inclined to go with a custom aftermarket semi-plug-and-play harness, just for their simplicity of installation. Good luck!

Mike: Was the source of the $1,000 repair estimate the Service Department at the dealership where you purchased the Edge new? If so, I expect you voiced comparable displeasure to them about paying for the repair. Did they offer to elevate your case to an Area Factory Service Rep, to see if they could receive a Goodwill authorization from Ford, whereby Ford might cover the cost of the replacement Compressor, if you were willing to pay a percentage, or in-full, for the dealership Labor to install the new Compressor? Did any conversation like that occur, especially if you've bought many of your vehicles there? The terminology would be that you are seeking a Goodwill repair arrangement to ensure your continued customer satisfaction as a long-time Ford & Lincoln owner. Good luck!

I'm uncertain on interrupted / uninterrupted state of an immovable IFS reset switch. Here is wiring diagram and the IFS switch connector detail. If you've not ruled out IFS involvement, is it possible to verify switch-state by checking across switch's pins 1 & 2, and/or jumper 1 to 2 on harness connector if the switch is determined to be in the interrupted state?

From the 2010 Edge Workshop Manual.... Fuel System Shutoff Feature The FP module is controlled by the PCM. Electrical power to the FP module is provided through the IFS switch that will de-energize the fuel delivery secondary circuit in the event of a moderate to severe collision. The IFS switch is a safety device, located under the LR quarter trim panel. Should the vehicle shut off after a collision due to this feature, restart the vehicle by first turning the ignition OFF, push the reset button on the IFS switch, then turn the ignition to the ON position. Good luck!

Hopefully by now, you have determined the root cause of your Edge's no-start condition. The connectors in your photos were attached to the left & right Rear Seat Release Actuators that facilitated the remote fold-down of the rear seat backs. Good luck!
