1st, make sure your vehicle is actually equipped with heated mirrors. If it does, check fuse# 50 in the engine compartment fuse panel. It is a 15A fuse only for the heated mirrors as per the owners manual.

If you do not use the keypad, just disconnect it.

@malammouri2015 I am not sure if it is MS-Can or HS-Can, probably HS-Can as my first cable was not capable of reading MS-Can & i remeber using it to change the ACM's ABD. I suggest you get a cable with switch ready, it would come in handy in the future. I bought one like this from the same seller and it is working fine. For DRL, once you connect Forscan, you will get built in options to select DRL on or off in the BCM, no need to mess with the As Built Data for this mod.

As Akirby said, you need to reprogram it. It can also be done using a free program called ForScan with a cheap compatible OBD2 connector. You can read about the program at www.forscan.org You will need to change the as built data for the ACM in block 727-04-01 , the second digit would be 0 in us vehicles & 1 for GCC vehicles. But you will lose RDS as it is not enabled in GCC Edge models (2011-2014).

It is probably one of the door actuators, to figure out which it is manually change HVAC settings & listen for the noise. For example, change from defrost to front registers to floor. Try fresh air/recirculate, and check each side temperature settings (driver/passenger), go from full cold to full hot.

Wouldn't a UK spec Instrument cluster work easier?

I am not aware of anyone who did it, but since the MKX already has it, it might be possible, though it wont be cheap. You at least need the 2 switches & a new motor for the passenger door from an MKX. Then you'll need to figure out the wiring, it is different & I can't say if it is already pre-wired or not. Sometimes it is to save manufacturing time at the factory, but mostly they would be different. 2013 Edge Power Window wiring diagram. 2013 MKX Power Window wiring diagram.

Middle East Fords are speed limited, usually the same as US versions or a little higher. I think the Edge/MKX here can go to around 115~118 mph (185~190 KPH), I don't recall trying it myself. Also, all Middle East Ford vehicles from North America get what they call in ETIS "With High Ambient Temp/Speed Pack", usually it meant better cooling, better pads & better tires. For example, with the Crown Victoria we got police spec tires/radiator/pads. For the Edge we got the towing package components, but the same tires.

ben, I believe cold weather means much colder than that, but, note that once you start the vehicle, the seats & defroster will turn off and there is no visual indication that they were turned on during remote start. Put that into consideration as many of us will think they did not turn on because of the lack of a visual indication.

EBay is a good source for used parts, but the bumper for 2007-2010 is different than 2011-2014 models. Also the mirror is different starting late 2011 or 2012 (don't remember exactly) the Edge photo you posted has the newer style mirror (smaller style).

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.
