  1. Here two "Swiss" spec'ed EU Edges listed for sale with VIN# included in the listings: Black (07/2020 build) ST-Line (2FMTK4A32LBA77409). Brown (07/2019 build) Vignale (2FMTK4V32KBB84369).
  2. Do the hooks attach to the steel bumper or the frame? I've seen several videos online (other makes) where the bumpers are stripped off when attempting any real recoveries using the recovery hooks. I know the Euro Edge (Gen2) does have the bumpers with holes for the recovery hooks. My "GCC" spec Edge (basically a NA spec with few changes) also has the holes and recovery hook stowed in the cargo area, but I would be afraid to use it for fear of damage to the bumpers.
  3. Just an update, I found that the below are the EU Edge firmware files: EU Edge (I think for later 2016 up to 2018. dated Aug. 25, 2016, they are with the thin needles and center digital speedometer? GM2T-14C026-NE GM2T-14C026-ANE GM2T-14C088-NE GM2T-14C088-ANE Also found these for earlier build UK 2016 Edge (with thick needles but without center digital speedometer): GM2T-14C026-NC GM2T-14C026-ANC GM2T-14C088-NC GM2T-14C088-ANC I also found out that with the Ford graphics and new "thin" needles, if the Cluster welcome startup was enabled the startup animation would show the thick needles (during the animation) and then change to the thin needles. This seems to be because when Ford started to use the "thin" needles on newer vehicles, the clusters were configured without the "welcome" animation turned on, hence the graphics animation for the welcome screen were never updated. So if you use any firmware with "thin" needles you need to disable the welcome screen. Anyway, I have eventually settled (for the time being) on the FS7T firmware of the Fusion/Mondeo listed in the 2gfusion thread that include the thick needles, outside temperature display and correct animation. The Ford graphics & blue needles, in my opinion, are better looking than the Lincoln's. They also make them easier to read.
  4. OP has a 2018 model, see the below linked video. Hopefully opening the glove box this much is sufficient to get what fell behind.
  5. For many years American models didn't have any hooks, especially for cars & crossovers. For recovery, it is still possible. See this channel where they do a lot of recoveries by hooking to the lower control arms. https://youtube.com/c/MattsOffRoadRecovery
  6. The TSB (Link to the TSB), also states "or unable to remove the integrated keyhead transmitter (IKT)", so it does include vehicles with key start ignition.
  7. Mirror tilt in reverse only works on the gen2 Edge (2015+). It cannot be added to prior model years.
  8. Just today I find that SSSM 49931 was issued by Ford to address this issue for 2015-2021 model years. I also just realized that I was not adjusting the bumper stops (this) to try to stop the shake. Source.
  9. Using ForScan you can disable the "park" function and then the bulb will act as a turn signal light only. With an SEL/Titanium/Sport model, you still have the bumper signature lights to act as parking lights when the ignition is on. This way LED turn signals will work. Only issue I found is that the turn signal in the Edge's housing is designed different to most othe vehicles, the bulb is inserted from the bottom up, so the reflector is designed to utilize the glow of the filament from the side, aftermarket LED bulb are designed on the basis they are facing outwards towards were the light is going out of the housing. With an LED bulb inserted in the Edge's housing, it is pointed upwards, so most of the light emitted is not going in the correct direction, hence I find the stock bulb always brighter than replacement LEDs. I have tried 3 different brands and all with the same results.
  10. My Edge Sport with a June 2016 build came with the same "updated" version with the spring loaded cover for the area just behind the rear seats instead of the straps as in the Carwow video review. The cover was part of the "Cargo Accessories Package" which also included the cargo area protector (rubber mat) and rear bumper protector (small strip on bumper).
  11. You don't need to be registered for Owner Manuals. Here is is the link, just select year & model or enter the VIN.
  12. Seems there is an updated TSB 21-2389 to also include 2021 (built UpTo March 11, 2021) model years to fix the issue. Again PCM update and Transmission Solenoid Strategy reprogram. (Source) MC-10203649-0001.pdf
  13. Should be covered fully. From the 2019 Warranty Guide:
  14. I remembered seeing a different cargo cover somewhere, found it in this carwow review. At the 5:57 mark he removed and you can see how it's attached to the rear headrests.
  15. There was supposed to be a link to an Amazon example, thanks for pointing that out. Corrected it now to your example.
  16. No. Outside of using ForScan you can't turn them off. The wiring for the puddle lights can easily be disconnected if you want.
  17. I don't use it, but my understanding is that if you set a time, and the headlight switch is left in the auto position, the lights will remain on for the selected amount after you turn off the engine.
  18. The OEM one is the sealed unit like this one. There is actually a bulb inside, but it is not easily replaced. What you can do is get some aftermarket LED replacements (example) that are cheaper than the OEMs and are brighter/whiter. Win-win.
  19. Looking up the part number online (DA5Z13776A) I found this Russian site with a photo from of the light from the back, it seems that it can be removed without pulling the side panel, you just need to know which side to pry from with a flat screwdriver.
  20. My dealer uses a "rotunda" tool to test the battery, and if the result was "failed" they'll replace it immediately. Once I replaced a Motorcraft battery because of a crack at the battery post even though it tested "good", but the physical damage was clearly a defect and thus was replaced. I just brought the battery in and went out with the new one and replaced it myself to avoid the long waiting times of the workshop. Another option I had when under the 3 year bumper warranty is calling the roadside assistance (also under warranty) and let them tow the vehicle to the dealer. In that case my waiting will be at home. Just have to go collect it once ready. @txaggie if you still have the old battery, ask the dealer if they will exchange it for a new one, why let Ford off the hook for a new battery if they were supposed to cover it.
  21. Hi all, Can anyone confirm what firmware files works with the MKX cluster on the Edge? Or where I can find them? My cluster currently is stick MKX and is working fine, but I'd like to switch to the Ford colors and it would also be nice to get the outside temperature display.
  22. Old thread, I know, but just saw a video on YouTube and saw the DEF/adblue filler next to the fuel (diesel) filler and remembered this thread. Below is a screenshot at around the 0:45 mark.
  23. Did you replace it under warranty? The OEM battery is covered under the 3 year bumper to bumper warranty.
  24. They are not the same person, each has a ton of contribution in the Ford Edge Forums. @WWWPerfA_ZN0W & MACT @macbwt
