It's been a while since I've posted anything in here but..... My Edge got hit hard with sap from two trees behind it. It's also drenched in pollen from the same trees. The first time, I literally drenched my SEL in RainX bug and tar remover. I let it dwell overnight to soften the sap. I washed it and got the sap off pretty well. Fast forward to this week......Sap again This time, I have some Meguiar's bug and tar remover to get off the sap. Looks like I'll be drenching the SEL in this stuff......sigh

My poor 2018 SEL got hit with sap in the worst way. I have used RainX bug and tar remover, let it dwell, and then washed it. I literally bathed my SEL in the stuff to get rid of the sap in short order.

I am wondering if anything has to be done to the PCM.

Hard pass due to the lack of a 2.7 TT V6. Only the 4 cyl is available.

I've already got a Valentine One and am considering a Valentine One Gen 2.

You'd be 100% correct. As everyone has said, it's as simple as plugging in a halogen bulb.

First thing you will want to remember is that once you start down this rabbit hole, you may not be able to stop easily. Second thing is that I have a 2018 SEL with Sync3 and, like your larger screen, mine controls a LOT of things. You may have to get something like these so you can retain the stock head unit and get more advanced audio functions: https://www.jlaudio.com/collections/car-audio-processors-oem-integration What kind of speakers did you buy for your Edge? I am looking at these for mine: https://www.jlaudio.com/collections/car-audio-speakers-c3/products/c3-650-car-audio-speakers-c3-convertible-systems-99022

Lastest with my Edge: Changed battery in wifey's key fob (That was the one which generated the message) Researched a louder horn and this a strong possibility: https://motohorn.com/trainhorn/ Researching a dashcam Bonus: Trading in my radar detector for a new one.

Getting that message with my 2018 these days. Going to change the battery tomorrow.

Forced Induction options are crossing my mind for the 3.5/3.7L. Second would be the upgrades for the transaxle to handle the HP and reduce torque steer.

What the dealer quoted me..... $700+ for the mirror and labor $300 to repaint the cap versus YouTube, Ebay, a friend of mine, and me $519 for the mirror $0 to transfer the existing cap to the new mirror (zero tabs broken)

Welcome to the crew.

Compared to the $700+ that the dealer was going to charge for the new mirror, I'll take it. BTW, I did get the swap taken care of easily. Even the mirror cap. Aside from that, I just put gas in it yesterday to the tune of $88.50 (Gas in AZ is VERY high these days).

Do you still have this grille?

Found one for $519, brand new.

2022 has not been kind to my 2018 Edge..... a) My wife got into a an accident in March and I had to put it in the Body Shop for a week. I had a Lexus NX as a rental but it really did not compare. b) I broke the passenger side mirror this past Saturday when backing out of my parking space. I checked with the dealership and, to fix it, it will cost me $1000 #neededadefibrillatorafterhearingthatprice I am scouring junkyards to find a matching replacement. I am also going to call my body shop to see how much it will cost for them to replace it. c) Still hunting for that ever-elusive Vignale grille.

Welcome to the group. Do you have the Ecoboost 4 or the 3.5L V6?

Not entirely true. My family had the following Fords: 1975 Mercury Monarch 1985 Mark VII LSC (Got shorted out from a lightning strike) 1987 Mark VII LSC 1991 Jaguar XJ6 1999 Navigator Prior to Edges and wifey's Escape, I had the following: 1977 Olds Cutlass 1986 S10 Blazer 4x4 1988 Caprice 1994 Maxima GXE 2002 Maxima SE Immediately prior to the 2008 Edge, wifey and I had her 2000 Dodge Neon which was surprisingly a decent car. It died on 1/31/2008 when we bought the 2008 Edge. Prior to the Escape, wifey had a 2013 300 and I got an expensive lesson ($3160) about that "stellar" Chrysler reliability. My 2002 Maxima SE was a riot because I would embarrass many V8 cars from a roll. My Edges have been just as much fun. This is my current 2018 SEL

Before marriage......0 (Mostly GM and 2 Nissans) After marriage.....3 2008 Ford Edge SE 2011 Ford Edge Limited 2018 Ford Edge SEL Wife-mobile..... 2020 Ford Escape SE Next: Edge ST

I am looking to do this on my 2018 SEL
