What you described is not how a stock Ford Edge anti-theft system works. I believe you need to figure what system was installed to disable it.

Mac, if the voltage is out of range, shouldn't it prompt an error code?

Every one was getting the camera for ~ $100/-, the price for the camera suddenly went up everywhere, same part numbers.

It is probably safer to keep it up. https://youtu.be/rt5_i5bHwkE

The fix is as reported in post#2, replace the wiper switch (stalk). It is about $30, with rain sensing wipers or without. It takes about 10 minutes to replace.

Attached is the 2017 Edge Order Guide, seems only few colors changed. 2017 Ford Edge Order Guid - Dec.1.2016.pdf

I don't believe it is a mandate, didn't read it anywhere, most probably a lawyer thing to reduce possibilities of lawsuits. A dealer cannot disable it as it is not a Ford procedure. Though you can use forscan which is a free software with a compatible OBD2 adapter ($20-$50) to easily disable it. Read up on it, and if even a little into DIY you'll find it a very simple process. Here are some threads on it: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/index.php?threads/new-forscan-update-allows-module-programming.442848/ http://www.forscan.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2331 The code to change it on 2011-2014 Edge models is exactly the same for 2011-2015 Explorers: BdyCM 726-16-01 0111 56 (Double Honk Enabled, Default) BdyCM 726-16-01 0101 46 (Double Honk Disabled) # 3rd digit number is 1: double honk enabled # 3rd digit number is 0: double honk disabled

Do you get the key not detected warning in the cluster when the horn chirps?

You can change only the mirror glass, if your mirror is heated (p/n: CT4Z17K707C), if not heated (p/n: CT4Z17K707A). You can easily change it yourself. Check posts 14 & 22 in this thread for how to remove the glass only.

This is the battery spacer/hold down clamp, number 2/3 here. It goes on the driver's side of the battery, the plastic part at the bottom to take the space at the bottom between the base of the battery & side of the tray, the long screw goes into a hole in the battery tray with the top of the screw being visible between the battery terminals. For the battery jacket, it doesn't seem the Edge had it in USA, for us in hot weather GCC, we do. If you want one, it is the same part used for the Super Duty i believe, at least for the 65 series battery (if you have push button start). The part number used here BC3Z10A687A.

MyFord Touch, in its latest versions, V3.6, 3.7 & 3.8, are pretty reliable, yes the interface is slow, but it gets the job & is reliable. At least in my 2011 & a 2013 Explorer of a friend's. In some cases, there are hardware faults that will cause the system to hang or act strangely, for which the dealer should replace the hardware responsible for it, the APIM. For even extended the warranty on it by 2 additional years, but i think that applied to 2011-2013 model years. I wouldn't back off of good deal on a used car if it has MyFord Touch. I believe Ford's major mistake with MyFord Touch that really escalated the issue, is that it also came with a touch (capacitive) panel for the HVAC/Audio functions, meaning you had to use touch only and when the APIM failed, you'd lose HVAC/Audio controls.

As far as i know, 2015-2016 Edges with factory HID have the DRL in the High beam reflector. Edges without factory HID have the DRL at the low beams. Usually for low beam DRL, the lights are run at a reduced voltage or some type of fluctuating voltage. in both cases, this not reduced voltage causes the PNP HID to freak out since it has a converter that is supposed to convert 12-14 normal voltage to the higher higher voltage of the HID setup. or something like that.

Also check that the front tires are at the recommended tire pressure, 35 psi. being low could increase the steering feel, but you'd also get the low tire pressure warning. Just a thought.

Most cars have a lighter steering than the Edge's, specifically the 2011-2014 Edge. The 2015-2016 Edge switched to an electric assisted steering that has a lighter feel.

What were you driving during those 6 months? If it's a car with very light steering feel,then you'll definitely feel the difference.

Might be, as I did not face any corrosion issues with the previous 2 Motorcraft batteries.

Arabsk, seems you moved to UAE? If that's the case, ask the dealer if they have leasing options. The depreciation you had is terrible, and I expect the new Edge will be even worse since it is even more expensive & the market in GCC is currently not good for new cars, but excellent if want to buy a used one though.

Ford has a major issue similar to this on the 2011+ Explorer with a class action suit going on. The 2011-2014 Edge & 2011-2015 MKX also had it, though on a much smaller scale than the Explorer. Ford issued several TSB for them, mainly changing the rear air extractors, sealing openings at the rear, and finally changing the exhaust tips so the fumes exit downwards. But this is the 1st time I read about a 2015+ Edge facing the same issue. In the above, the smell comes when after/during hard acceleration with the A/C on recirculating air, seems that the fumes are being sucked in due to the A/C. I'd suggest 1st checking the rear hatch if it is closing/sealing properly.

I had a nearly similar corrosion on the positive battery terminal, after disconnecting the positive terminal & cleaning, I found some cracks in the battery case right under the terminal connector (not visible unless the connector was removed). The Motorcraft MAX battery had a 3 year full warranty with up to 7 years prorata. It was ~ 18 months old at the time & hence got a free replacement without questions even though it passed the load test. Come to think of it, I believe the failed one was also purchased in January 2015.

It costs about $795/-

I'd suggest disconnecting the car battery for 10 minutes to reset the electronics, it might clear the message.

Like what Akirby stated, if you set the remote start has a climate setting, manual or auto. In auto, it does what you want regardless of what AC setting was at when you last turned off the car. The manual setting just leaves the AC to the last setting it was at when you last turned off the car. It is a really good system & you can specify 5, 10 or 15 minute durations which can be extended to another period. Short of a smartphone remote start system, Ford's system are amongst the best.

You can also ask to test drive another 2016 Edge (with the same wheel size) to confirm that your Edge really has an issue.

Accessory Protocol Interface Module

I have an HTC 10 updated to Android Nougat and can confirm that messaging works fine on MFT V3.8 on my car & on an earlier build maybe V3.6 on a rental. If I am not mistaken, it is a Google thing as the Bluetooth profile responsible for messaging (MAP?) is not an Android thing, rather manufacturers like HTC & Samsung add it. Try the 24 hour support feature of the Pixel if they can help. Make sure to tell them otherwise Android nougat phones work fine so they don't blame MFT instead of finding a solution.
