  1. These laws applicable in the US are usually really useful. For example, we have here the 2016+ Lexus LX570 with sequential turn signals without turning off the DRLs, and it is difficult to notice that the signal is on until you are very close to it, but not US spec'ed versions.
  2. Many other cars/SUVs do it. Even my 2016 Edge does it, though My DRLs are not the LED signature lights. Also there is a ForScan mod that can disable/enable it for modern Fords. I think this link would answer your question better than I did: https://jalopnik.com/heres-why-modern-cars-turn-off-one-of-their-lights-when-1792394567
  3. That is normal. During daytime the signature lights are brighter to act as daytime lights, the turn off when the signal is on to make the turn signal mode visible. At night, the signature will be dimmed, compared to day time, hence no need for them to turn off with the signals. There is also a DOT (or some other regulatory) regulation that actually requires this when the the signal light & DRL are close to each other.
  4. Like what Nick, that is a solution. But aren't you under warranty? Wouldn't it be covered? Also, there are new, updated versions of the weatherstrips (for back of rear doors & bottom) that should help and they definitely don't cost $2,000 !! See TSB 18-2339. Rear Door back weatherstrip (right) - $64.56 Rear Door back weatherstrip (left) - $64.32 Lower weatherstip (right) - $38.44 Lower weatherstip (left) - $38.44 Mini mudflap (right) - $23.19 Mini mudflap (left) - $23.19 Grip tape - $6.96 (for 2) Push Pins - $1.88 (for 2) Foam Tape - $9.83 Total for parts for the TSB is $270.81
  5. Several of us did it on the 2015-2018 model including myself. This thread has more details.

    Moving On

    Hope you have better experience with the Subaru.
  7. There was a General Service Bulletin for Dealers to disable Autolocks for 2015-2016 Edge, though I am not sure it is applicable for the 2019. 45578 - 2015-2016 Edge and 2016 MKX - Procedure To Disable Autolocks Some 2015-2016 Edge and 2016 MKX customers may request to have the autolocks disabled. The autolocks are not a customer configurable feature. If a customer request to have the autolocks disabled, use IDS version 98.04 or higher to disable t he autolocks. Enter Module Programming - Programmable Parameters - Power Door Locks - Auto Lock 1-5 - Enable/Disable. To disable the autolocks, Auto Lock 1 through Auto Lock 5 all need to be disabled prior to pressing the tick mark. Disabling the autolocks at the request of the customer cannot be claimed as a warrantable repair. Section 501-14 of the online Workshop Manual is being updated to prov ide direction on disabling the autolock feature.
  8. From the parts# compatibility, your assumption seems correct. The same seat back blower part number is specified for 2016-2019. It's a long story. In short, it is Ford's solution to make an "intake snorkel" so that the seat back blower, which inside the seat back cavity, will draw air from under the seat to be used for cooling/heating. Before adding the this intake "sock/snorkel" the blower would get the air from inside the seat cavity. This is the website with the fix, it has a better explanation.
  9. The AWD system will disable and you should not drive for long or too fast. Rear the owners manual. Using AWD system. Changing a road tire.
  10. Then email the ForScan team. Maybe they can help.

    Edge ST MPG

    I usually put in about 56-60 litres (15-16 US gallons) when the have nearly 0 km to empty. With my previous ride, a 2011 MKX with a 20 gallon tank, I would usually put 10 litres more. Sometimes as much as the advertised tank capacity. It was like the reserve capacity is in addition to the tank capacity while in the 2016 Edge the reserve is part of the rated capacity.

    Edge ST MPG

    You don't need ForScan or any tool.
  13. Clear the saved vehicle profile in ForScan so it will re-learn the vehicle with the new PCM strategy. Vehicle > Gear icon (settings) > Clear Cache. Though I have an Android phone, so not sure if it is the same setup. Also do it for the PC version when you do connect it.
  14. i know this is an old thread, but didn't find a better place to post my question. Just got the Livenois MyCalibrator Touch Tuner and tried on tune, LMS 91 Performance, the file's name is "G2GA-CPA_CNBP2PA_91Per_V3_conv_.bin". Honestly the only differences I felt are the harsher shifts, so definitely will request a soft (stock) shift tune, but thought to wait a few more days trying it as it is. But wanted to ask how do you find the difference between the 91 Performance & stock? is it noticeable for you? Also, another question, when programming the tune, I was expecting it to take ~10 minutes, but it was much faster. The tuner display showed "Erasing block 1 of 3" then "Writing block 1 of 3" then the same for blocks 2 & 3 and that's it. Thought it would be more cause when reading the stock tune they where 16 blocks & took way much longer.
  15. I had adaptive Bi-Xenon in the 2011 MKX and it worked flawlessly. I think Ford's issue with the 2019 Edge stems from the Edge being also offered for Europe with the adaptive lights since 2015 or 2016, so it might be a marketing mistake and/or build issues where Edges built for North America have hardware differences compared to those for European market.
  16. Traction Control is what keeps the wheels from spinning, like on snow or slippery surfaces. Advance Trac is what helps keeps the vehicle from going out of the intended track, usually when turning, think drifting or taking turns sideways. This is accomplished by braking individual wheels and/or cutting engine power. In Advance Trac Sport mode the system is dialed back to some degree to allow some spirited driving, when it is "off", then it is completely off.
  17. Not for the Edge, that's for the version in the F-150. The Edge still has Direct Injection only.
  18. Set the dim to day or night then go back to Auto. This happens every about 12 hours of run time as the Sync system (MyFord Touch - APIM) restarts while the car is off. You can know that it had restarted when the settings icon will take you to the clock settings instead of the last settings menu, usually display for me. Also, if you had SMS notifications set to text to speech it also would reset to the default setting. This has been going on for a long time. Faced it in my 2011 MKX & now 2016 Edge (yes with MyFord Touch. Export model). It is a bug that has never been addressed by Ford. Probably due to not being complained about.
  19. The ST has a different transmission, the 8F57.
  20. I think what you are looking for is part number 3 in the diagram. Here is a link to it. @WWWPerfA_ZN0W will probably have a better answer, just for a little for him and he will surely provide an answer.
  21. I'd suggest replacing the steering wheel. You'd find good used OEM on eBay for ~ $50 and replacement procedure is quite simple.
  22. There should be an opening in the bumper leading to a duct behind the bumper to direct air to the front wheel well. We don't have FWD Edges here so I can't see it personally, but have seen it on the Explorer and at some angels you can see through it from the front to the wheel well.
  23. See the photos in this listing. Also this image. From the 2015 Edge Source Book:
  24. There is a setting in the display menu to show a vertical tachometer next to the fuel gauge, though it is very small.
