As stated above, two other ways to know, if it is equipped with rain sensing wipers the wiper stalk will have "Auto" written on it and there will be this plastic cover behind/above the interior rear view mirror.

If you want cool, these lights are very cool replacements. https://drivebright.com/shop/ford-edge-led-drl-kit-with-built-in-led-turn-signal-with-black-accent-color/

Heated and Cooled Seats
omar302 replied to Wedgeamatic's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
I had earlier went through As Built Data for a 2019 MKX and a 2018 F-150, both with ventilated seats, and the ABD blocks structure look similar to the 2019 Edge I poster earlier (with the additional blocks), so I was thinking it might be ventilated only after all, until your post proving they are still cooled. Can anyone who upgraded from a 2016-2018 Edge with cooled seats to a 2019-2020 Edge with cooled seats confirm their experience? -
What have you done to/with your Edge/MKX today?

Looks sharp. Do you have the factory front camera? If so, how did you keep it with the Honey comb grille? when looking for the grille there doesn't seem to be an offering with the camera hole for it. -

On the F-150 they changed the design starting with the 2018 model. F-150Forum has a thread on the cooled seat fix issue & the new mechanism is pictured in this post. The 2019 Nautilus Parts listing does show the new blowers. So maybe they only changed them on the Nautilus and not on the 2019 Edge, related to the new for 2019 availability of 22 way adjustable seats and hence the redesign of the seats and new blowers, while the Edge still kept the same seats (minor cover changes). -
This post includes a how to for doing the opposite. It might give you some idea how to do what you need.

I know they did change them starting with the 2018 F-150, but the parts listing for a 2020 Edge ST still shows the same TED part numbers as earlier models. https://www.tascaparts.com/auto-parts/2020/ford/edge/st-trim/2-7l-v6-gas-engine/body-cat/front-seat-components-scat -

Can you share them? -
I had the same idea on my previous 2011 MKX. Had a topic about it here with some wiring diagrams & component locations with help from members. Short answer, I did not do it. There is a wiring difference and you'll need to route the wires for it to work.

@tmarsh Any update on the cooled seats? I have done some research and found that even though the 2019/2020 Edge use the same TEDs (link to bottom & back parts) and same SCME (link to part), the 2019/2020 have extra blocks in the ABD. So there seems to be a software/firmware update for the SCME, I have an old ForScan 2.4.0 version (Jan build) but there is no firmware flash option for the SCME. Maybe someone with a 2019/2020 Edge with cooled seats can get temperature readings for the TEDs and see if they are better. Note: The yellow boxes and red text are to highlight the 2018 changes compared to mine. -
I can't really give an answer. From my readings, there is no clear proof that a catch can will prevent it, nor that without it you'd actually get carbon buildup on EcoBoost engines. But regular maintenance and using good oils will definitely help, especially considering that new oils are getting better to tackle the issue. Here are some interesting related articles I found searching online if you are interested: Valvoline explaining there oils: https://team.valvoline.com/diy/truth-behind-carbon-buildup Oil standards, GF-5 being common & GF-6 about to be available: https://www.oilspecifications.org/ilsac.php. (There is an interim oil, labeled API SN Plus that kind off is between GF-5 & GF-6, Ford has already started specifying it for their vehicles starting 2018 I think). Others: https://www.enginelabs.com/news/video-is-running-your-engine-up-to-redline-actually-good-for-it/ https://www.mustangecoboost.net/threads/direct-injection-catch-cans-oil-changes.17251/

As @onyxbfly stated above, the Edge still uses Direct Injection only. The F-150 got dual injection in 2017 for the 3.5 EcoBoost only, then in 2018 the rest also got it. But all other EcoBoost Engines (AFAIK, and as per Ford's website as of today 07/07/2020) are still Direct Injection only, even the new Explorer, which was a clean new 2020 model & the first application of the 3.0 EcoBoost in longitudinal form. Edit: The 2018+ Expedition is also PFI+DI like the F-150, although Ford's website states its only DI. So there goes relying on Ford as a credible source ?.

It doesn't seem you need to remove the glove box. See the attached procedure. Blower Motor R and I.pdf

I have 2 sounds from the sunroof. 1 is from the friction between the rear part of the movable glass and the seal. Cleaning the seal & glass surface where they meet. Some light grease also helps. 2 is from the rubber surround under the glass, this rubber doesn't seem to have a function as it doesn't seal anything, probably for sound purposes. This rattles a bit.

I expect it would. I don't have any experience with it, but it does have several holes so it can give different clearances. Maybe there are other models that have a mechanism to sway away when opening the liftgate.

Never heard of anyone doing it on the Edge. You should also consider if the tailgate sheet metal can withstand the weight or not. Suggest you look at a hitch mounted wheel carrier like this for example: https://www.homedepot.com/p/CURT-Hitch-Mounted-Spare-Tire-Mount-Fits-2-Receiver-31006/205631724

Heated and Cooled Seats
omar302 replied to Wedgeamatic's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
Checked today in the morning before starting the Edge, both seat bottom & seat backs were at the same ambient temperature (33C). So yesterday's discrepancy was due to the few minutes of remote starting it. -

I got a screenshot today on the way back from work. This was after about a 20 minute drive. The passenger seat was off, but was initially turned on for a few minutes when I remote started the engine. The temperatures are in Celsius. Converted to Fahrenheit: Driver: Cushion: 59 Back: 70 Passenger (was off): Cushion: 91 Back: 100 I am especially surprised of the passenger seat difference while it was off!! And yes, the ambient temperature was about 105-110 F. -
Just have to let it out, Ford, with all of its wisdom, has equipped their Ford vehicles exported to our region (those optioned with it) with the AC outlet with the US plug style & 120v, even though we use the UK plug style and 240v. And they do have a UK plug 240v inverter because the Edge sold in UK has them.

Yes, you should have ?. We had some discussions on this issue in the ForScan forums here, maybe it'll help you recollect. I wouldn't recommend making any physical changes to avoid damaging the TEDs, they are not cheap or easy to replace. Just some notes: Some F-150 owners reported broken exhaust ports in Tim's solution rendering it useless. Check if the exhaust tube is getting hot air out to make sure this is not your case. There was a TSB for the seats that had the ABD updated to fix the cooling, so maybe get the ABD from a newer model, maybe a late build 2020 Edge. Please share next time. I also had monitored the TED temperatures in Forscan and always had that difference between the seat bottom & back. I'll try to get a screen shot to see the actual difference. -
The high beams in these light (in stock form at least) utilizes the same bulb as the low beam but with a shield that moves up/down to get more light out. There would be an audible click sound when they turn on/off. My guess would be that the solenoid that moves this shield on the driver side is shot. unfortunately it is inside the light assembly and is replaced with the complete housing.
