It may be useful to clarify that my earlier comment on using ForscanLite and OBD Fusion to monitor the Liftgate handle-mounted latch release switch relates to operation of the power liftgate on my GEN 1 2015 MKX. Because 2016 Edge is GEN 2, and the 2016 Workshop Manual mentions only the Body Control Module (BCM) in relation to manual Liftgate latch release, I did a deeper dive and found confirmation of the exclusive involvement of the BCM in the Manual Liftgate wiring diagram... Consequently, using OBD2 scanning software on a GEN 2 Edge will likely yield a BCM Parameter ID (PID) comparable to the Workshop Manual's diagnostic-mentioned LFTGATE_R_SW. Good luck!

In order to assess if a properly equipped do-it-yourself owner could monitor the operation of the liftgate release switch, I installed my OBD2 adapter and connected to my 2015 MKX using ForscanLite for Android on my smartphone, since the task does not require any programming activity, which is only available using full-strength Forscan on a laptop computer. Using either the Dashboard function or the Graph function, and selecting the Parameter ID (PID) HANDLSW for the Liftgate Trunk Module (LTM), or LTM.HANDLSW if searching ALL modules, ForscanLite's Dashboard will display onscreen the momentary activated status of the exterior Liftgate release switch, and the Graph function will show a flowing bottom flat line which jumps up when the switch is pushed and the line returns to the bottom flat line when the button is released. Also on my smartphone, I have the OBD Fusion Android scanning app with its optional cost Ford-Lincoln-Mercury extension for my 2015 MKX. It too allows monitoring of the exterior Liftgate release switch, available under the Liftgate/Trunk Module as the Handle Switch Signal PID designation. I am aware that many national-chain auto parts stores will perform OBD2 scans for Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) on customer vehicles, but I do not know if they will go so far as to perform a scan to assess the successful operation of the exterior Liftgate release switch, though it is likely a replacement part which they may sell, so if it's in their self-interest toward a parts sale, perhaps they would perform the scan if they have that capability. Good luck!

Liftgate latch & release components and their operation, edited for manual liftgate, from online Workshop Manual... Liftgate Latch Release (manual liftgate) The liftgate latch can be released using: the exterior liftgate release switch. a valid programmed passive key. The Body Control Module (BCM) sends a voltage signal to the exterior liftgate release switch. When the liftgate release switch is pressed, the voltage signal is routed to ground, indicating a request to release the liftgate latch. The BCM momentarily provides voltage to the liftgate latch to actuate the release motor. When using the liftgate release switch, the BCM releases the liftgate only when the doors have been electronically unlocked and the vehicle is in PARK. Liftgate Passive Entry (with vehicle locked) With a programmed passive key within 1 meter (3.28 feet) outside the liftgate, press the exterior liftgate release button on the rear of the vehicle to release the liftgate latch (manual liftgate). When the BCM detects the exterior liftgate release button is pressed, it activates the low frequency antenna in the luggage compartment area. The low frequency antenna sends out a signal to activate the passive key. The passive key then responds by sending a high frequency signal back to the Radio Transmitter Module (RTM). The RTM interprets the high frequency signal from the passive key and sends the information to the BCM. If the BCM detects a valid programmed passive key, the BCM releases the liftgate latch (manual liftgate). The following are diagnostic procedures intended for professional technicians, along with replacement instructions for the exterior liftgate release switch and latch mechanism. 2016 Edge - Manual Liftgate Release Diagnostic Procedure - Workshop Manual.pdf (download link) 2016 Edge - Liftgate Inner Trim Panel Removal and Installation - Workshop Manual.pdf (download link) 2016 Edge - Liftgate Release Switch Removal and Installation - Workshop Manual.pdf (download link) 2016 Edge - Liftgate Latch Removal and Installation - Workshop Manual.pdf (download link) Good luck!

Perhaps your past experience, informed by these key-related Workshop Manual sections, can lead you to a solution. 2008 MKX - Anti-Theft - Workshop Manual.pdf 2008 MKX - Integrated Keyhead Transmitter (IKT) Key Programming Using Diagnostic - Workshop Manual.pdf 2008 MKX - Anti-Theft Security Access - Workshop Manual.pdf 2008 MKX - Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Transmitter Programming - Workshop Manual.pdf 2008 MKX - Key Programming Switch State Control - Workshop Manual.pdf 2008 MKX - Key Programming Using Two Programmed Keys - Factory Shop Manual.pdf 2008 MKX - Spare Key Programming - Unlimited Key Mode - Workshop Manual.pdf Good luck!

Ford's corporate website, https://parts.ford.com/en.html, has a VIN-based parts search engine, which they recommend as providing the greatest accuracy in search results. Ford's dealer-centered OASIS information system provides a variety of reports, including the Historical Vehicle Bill Of Material (HVBOM), reported by VIN, which lists parts numbers of components used at the time of manufacture. Compatible replacement parts may have a differing part number, as a result of engineering changes/improvements over time. I expect more than several Forum members have OASIS access and could provide you a VIN-specific HVBOM, as well as a copy of the original Window Sticker, listing the systems and features on the vehicle when it was sold. Good luck!

In my 2015 MKX, fulfilling the GEN 1 Information Display message by pushing the Start Button with foot already pressing on brake pedal causes the gauge cluster and center stack to awaken and the normal memory seat & steering wheel positions to be resumed. That concurrent brake/button action apparently normalizes the vehicle's running state and removes the engine shutdown potential. The gear shift remains locked until the brake pedal is pressed and then the transmission can be shifted out of Park. The GEN 2 procedure represents a streamlining of the "To Drive:" process with the Intelligent Key present -- at least on U.S. paper -- apparently substituting the the Gear Shift interlock button for the GEN 1 action of pressing the Start button, such that stepping on the brake pedal & shifting is all that's necessary to get a GEN 2 vehicle underway. Good luck!

My 2015 MKX is still GEN 1, whereas 2015 and later Edge are GEN 2, as well as 2016 & later MKX/Nautilus are GEN 2. Interestingly -- as you say -- GEN 2 Edge/MKX/Nautilus "To Drive:" directions after remote starting are different from GEN 1 vehicles. According to the 2016 MKX and the 2020 Edge Owners Manuals, the Information Display message should be... Good luck!

The below Warning Chimes System Diagram lists the warning chimes and the network of electronic modules involved in the sounds being generated through the Instrument Panel speaker or through the vehicle audio speakers, but keep in mind your Edge may not be equipped with optional features included in the list… The below-attached 2016 Edge Warning Chimes Description and Operation from the online Workshop Manual provides warning chime descriptions that may be helpful toward identifying the type and eventual source and cause of the intermittent alert sound… 2016 Edge Warning Chimes Description and Operation.pdf (download link) Good luck!

Based only upon the Workshop Manual info, I also was concerned for you that a high-dollar assembly replacement might be necessary. Good luck!

Based upon your past Forum posts, I expect this information will equip you for a likely DIY repair. The online 2017 Edge Workshop Manual describes the Body Control Module (BCM) role in stoplamps operation… And the quasi-fusing effect of the above-mentioned Field Effect Transistor (FET) in stoplamp fault conditions is described as… Here is the full Stoplamps Diagnosis and Testing Procedure, though your need is only for the “One Or More Stoplamps Are Inoperative” portion, which I have expanded for the Rear Lamp Assembly Left Hand connector testing detail, 2017 Edge Stoplamps Diagnosis and Testing Procedure.pdf (download link) which involves this Rear Lamp Assembly connector… …and hopefully won’t progress to additional testing involving this Body Control Module (BCM) connector… Though simple, here is the Rear Lamp Assembly removal procedure... 2017 Edge Rear Lamp R & R Instructions.pdf (download link) Wiring diagram... Good luck!

After being remote-started, the 2015 MKX stays running when the release button on the locked shifter is pushed. The 2015 also shows a "To Drive: Press Brake and START Button" reminder message in the left side Information Display. This "To Drive" reminder was initially added to 2014 models. Good luck!

My prior levity aside, discussions here often allow me to learn something new. In my nine years of MKX ownership, I've used the remote start function three or four times. From my 2012 MKX, I recalled the need to press the door-lock button on the Intelligent Access key before double-pressing the remote start button. I always presumed that was to deny access into the vehicle while the remotely started vehicle was running. Not so. Just went outside and opened 2015 MKX driver's door. Pushing door-lock button, indeed, actuated doors to lock, after which, double-pushing remote start button caused MKX to start with driver's door open. Closed driver's door, opened rear liftgate, pushed door-lock button, doors locked, double-pushed remote start button, MKX started with rear liftgate open. These were not the outcomes I expected. Remote Start information in Edge/MKX Users Manuals from 2011 to 2021 is essentially the same... Good luck!

I believe the Gen 1's had an additional trim strip, outboard of the glass roof side panel, where the roof rack bars would mount on a non-panoramic model, and I don't see those secondary filler strips in TonyP's photo... Because of that, I pulled Gen 2 instructions, but perhaps I'm wrong. Good luck!

I guess that explains why the Model T wouldn't start unless both hood side panels were closed when using the remote starter crank on the front. With a hood panel open, it just went aoogha, aoogha. ? Good luck!

The bolt circle of 2015-2018 Explorer wheels (5 x 4.25 inches) does match the bolt circle of 2006-14 Edge wheels (5 x 4.5 inches), however, the center bore of the Explorer is smaller (63.4 mm) than the GEN 1 Edge center bore (70.5 mm), per Wheel-Size's very nice website. If you can justify the additional cost, it may be possible to have a machine shop enlarge the Explorer wheels' center bore, if there's enough material to maintain the anti-vibration fit of the bored-out wheel center hole on the Edge's hub. You do not mention the diameter of the Explorer wheel you're considering, so you can review the wheel offset data on the above website to further evaluate the Explorer wheels' potential fit. Good luck!

I've not experienced this problem, and since your car knowledge is limited, l'll keep this simple -- and visual. From the 2014 Edge Owners Manual, page 474, the beep sounds generated by the MyFord Touch screen and/or the Touch Panel controls can be turned ON or turned OFF, indicated here surrounded by a red rectangle... To review and/or revise these two Button Beep settings, on your Edge's MyFord Touch home screen, select the Settings gears icon at the bottom of the screen, indicated here surrounded by an orange circle... On the resulting Settings Menu screen, select the gear icon for System, indicated here surrounded by an orange oval... At the bottom of the resulting System Settings screen is the Touch Screen Button Beep options of ON or OFF, indicated here surrounded by an orange rectangle... On this same System Settings screen, if you scroll down the menu using the scroll bar on the right side of the screen, indicated here by the red-outlined orange arrow, the Touch Panel Button Beep options of ON or OFF will appear, indicated here surrounded by an orange rectangle... If you leave the Touch Screen Button Beep set to ON, and revise the Touch Panel Button Beep setting to OFF, then you can evaluate the Touch Panel controls as being the source of the spurious beep sounds. If they stop, it's the Touch Panel controls that are the source. If you're satisfied being rid of the spurious beeps, and, you're satisfied operating your Touch Panel controls without any audible feedback of their actuation, then your problem is solved. If the spurious beeps continue, then I would revise the Touch Screen Button Beep setting to OFF and leave the Touch Panel Button Beep set to OFF, also. If the spurious beeps are fully eliminated, then the Touch Screen is the source of the problem. I would then return the Touch Panel Button Beep setting to ON (presuming you like having that audible feedback) and further confirm that the spurious beeps are still gone. If you're satisfied being rid of the spurious beeps, and, you're satisfied operating your Touch Screen controls without any audible feedback of their actuation, then your problem is solved. If the spurious beeps continue with both the Touch Screen Button Beep and the Touch Panel Button Beep set to OFF, then a visit to the dealership may be necessary if you want to eliminate the noise. Perhaps they would reload some software that may have become corrupted -- or perhaps a software update is available, otherwise they will be doing diagnostic testing to chase down a bad control or some wiring and/or connector issue. I checked OASIS to see if any Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) on this topic and there were none listed for the 2014 Ford Edge Sport VIN I used (which was listed for sale online). Good luck!

Perhaps the attached Diagnostic Procedure for Reversing Lamps and Reversing Lamp Connector diagram from the online 2016 Ford Edge Workshop Manual can be helpful, especially if you have capability to scan for Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)...

Ford's guidance on battery disconnection, and on running the vehicle every six hours, each have everything to do with avoiding a dead battery while flat-towing. An alternative to the battery disconnect is to run a battery-charge line from your RV to your Edge ST to maintain the battery power consumed when electronic modules are awakened by the Edge's braking action actuated by your under-hood braking add-on. You will likely benefit from at least two discussions on these RV-centered forums that will provide you background information and other Edge-owners' experiences. The first is on ForestRiversForum from 2017-2018 and is Edge AWD specific, and the second is on iRV2 Forums and is Edge ST specific. Good luck!

Here you go... Good luck!

I'd say you should have an enjoyable weekend appreciating Michigan's great fall colors. It would be useful for you to know the travel trailer's tongue weight to ensure your not overloading the rear axle, and to be aware of the trailer's brake system requirements for hookup to your Edge, but 15 miles of two-lane road shouldn't present any challenge to your tow package-equipped Edge. I've made many incident-free runs with 4,000 lbs of boat/surge-braked single axle trailer behind our 4,300 lbs of tow package equipped 2012 MKX, from NW Ohio on I-75 through Detroit's sweeping curves at interstate speed, up to St Clair Shores with the MKX's trailer sway control activated. It's worth noting that frontal area effects pulling a V-fronted boat are certainly less at speed than when pulling a slab-fronted travel trailer. If you eventually buy a travel trailer and are running close to the Edge's 3,500 lb rating, then a weight distributing hitch should be part of your RV investment, along with adding a auxiliary transmission fluid cooler to your Edge. Good luck!

The bolt circle of 2015-21/GEN 2 Edge wheels (5 x 4.25 inches) does not match the bolt circle of 2006-14/GEN 1 Edge wheels (5 x 4.5 inches), per Wheel-Size's very nice website. Based on my experience swapping 2015 MKX wheels to a 2012 MKX -- both GEN 1 models, since GEN 2 MKX began with 2016 model year -- the TPMS is compatible. Good luck!
