Its probably just a bad remote, Time for a new one. The fob buttons (ie lock, unlock, liftgate and remote start - if equipped) operate independent of the intelligent access and passive start features.

Are you running the latest version of SYNC for your vehicle...would be 3.0 19205.

The proper update path would be to have the VIN the SYNC3 setup came from and download the update using that VIN and run it via USB.

The 3.10 update has been out for over 3 years I believe.

Agreed, someone did something to your vehicle. Contact your insurance company. Ford is never going to cover that.

They left out the command "delay" as noted in my post. What this means is that the install package will run until completed, then the unit will say it is restarting and a brief message pops up saying the update is done and to remove the USB but then it will restart on its own and repeat the installation over and over doing the same thing. Its an endless loop of installs. This confuses people. When the delay command is added it runs once and halts at the remove the usb message.

The have an issue with the update re-running...apparently it is missing a command in the final line. It should be: Options = AutoInstall,Delay It is missing the Delay command which I was told makes it run only once otherwise it keeps looping the install

If you have a 2019 model year the 3.4.43 is not buggy. They had issues with some 2020 model year updates missing a file so they took the entire user update off line until they fix it. If you downloaded it for a 2019 prior to it being taken down you are fine.

Let us know if it allows a reinstall of the maps.

Installing the latest release of 3.4 after the map update will not reflect the updated maps either. You will have to re-run the map update after installing 3.4, at least that is what I have heard.

It is down because they identified an issue with some models not getting the full package therefore it has been shut off until it is resolved.

Well you do appear to have something that is defective but you also need a GPS antenna and new media (usb) hub.

Okay I stand corrected...the 2020 edge does have cooled seating. I pulled this from the service manual: Climate Controlled Seat Operation The driver and passenger climate controlled seat buttons are selected from the FCIM. The climate controlled seat system functions independently from the vehicle's climate control system. The seat cushion and backrest are each equipped with a blower motor assembly. As cabin air is drawn through each blower motor, a Thermo-Electric Device (TED) heats or cools the air, which is then directed into the foam pad where it is distributed along the surface of the cushion and backrest of the seat. Once the system is activated, the SCME uses a set of flexible algorithms to control the heating/cooling modes and the blower speed dependant on the commanded climate controlled seat settings. The SCME monitors seat cushion temperature while it supplies voltage and ground to both blower motors. The SCME also supplies a variable voltage signal to control the blower speed. Cabin air enters the blower through an integrated filter attached to the blower motor housing. Heated or cooled air exits the blower motor and flows through the foam pad. Climate Controlled Seat Heating Characteristics In heat mode, the blower motor can add up to 40–60° C (72–108° F) to the ambient inlet air temperature. The system control settings are indicated next to each climate controlled seat heat switch button. The first setting is HIGH (3 indicators), the second setting is MED (2 indicators) and the third is LOW (1 indicator) then OFF (no indicators). When heating, the SCME varies the speed of the blower motors and the duty cycle of the integral Thermo-Electric Device (TED) in order to reach and maintain the desired temperature determined by the system control settings. Climate Controlled Seat Cooling Characteristics In cool mode, the blower motors can remove up to 8° C (14° F) from the ambient air temperature entering the system. The system control settings are based on the 3 indicators next to each climate controlled seat cool switch button. The first setting is HIGH (3 indicators), the second setting is MED (2 indicators) and the third is LOW (1 indicator) then OFF (no indicators). When cooling, the SCME maintains a constant blower motor speed and a constant Thermo-Electric Device (TED) supply voltage (duty cycle is determined by the switch setting) in COOL mode. Climate Controlled Seat Recovery Mode NOTE: The presence of overtemperature faults (Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) B1153:4B, B1154:4B, B1151:4B and B1152:4B) can be induced by incorrectly operating the climate controlled seat system after an initial heat setting has been attained. If a heat setting is repeatedly turned off and on in an attempt to increase the seat temperature or repeatedly toggled between heat and cool modes, an overtemperature condition can result and the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) may be set. If the temperature of one of the blower motors rises above 110° C (229.8° F) in the heat mode or 65° C (148.9° F) in the cool mode for more than 4 seconds, the SCME records an overtemperature DTC, removes voltage from the Thermo-Electric Devices (TEDs) (part of the blower motor assembly) and goes into recovery mode (blower only) for 30 seconds to cool down the blower motor. The same occurs if a temperature difference of 60° C (108° F) or greater is detected between the backrest and cushion blower motors on either front seat. The SCME continues to monitor the blower motors while in recovery mode. If the temperature of the Thermo-Electric Devices (TEDs) do not drop to 105° C (220.8° F) in the heat mode or 60° C (139.9° F) in the cool mode after 30 seconds, the system continues to cool the blower motors in recovery mode for up to 5 minutes. If the Thermo-Electric Devices (TEDs) cool down after 30 seconds, but before 5 minutes (checked at 4 second intervals), the system is operating normally. An overtemperature DTC is still recorded even if the system recovers and is operating normally. This is more likely to occur during extreme cabin temperatures with significant seat back sun load. If the system does not recover within 30 seconds in heat mode or within 5 minutes in cool mode, the SCME disables that seat (fault mode) and remains off until the ignition is cycled. Also, if the SCME detects a temperature differential fault twice during the same ignition cycle, the SCME disables the seat. When a fault causes a shutdown, the climate controlled seat indicators turn off and that seat is not operational until the next ignition cycle.

Ford has 2019 mapping out now. And if your vehicle is a 2018 or newer, the maps updates are free if downloaded. 2016 and 2017 have to pay unfortunately.

When I have service manual access again I will look up what it says about the 19/20.

Thats probably a typo. The owner's manual states ventilated seats and I believe the service manual does as well. Ford abandoned cooled seats cause they didn't work well.

naviextras is NOT for North American vehicle use. You have to pay.

Aren't the 19 and ups heated and ventilated seats only? Thought they removed the cooling part meaning it just shoot air through the seat rather than cooling the air when in ventilated mode?

Mine is leaking again. I don't know the exact mileage since it was last replaced but its over 30,000 I do know that. I think its inevitable that they leak unfortunately. Next time the oil needs to be changed I will be taking it in for the pan replacement...again.

Ford does have an add on security module that has a shock sensor in it. No vehicle comes from the factory with it. It has been added at some point. It also is part of adding remote start if not equipped from the factory. You will have to find where the module is mounted and there is knob that turns and adjusts sensitivity. https://accessories.ford.com/electronics/vehicle-security/electronic-module-12157.html

wont work, completely different vehicle architecture.

Its a shift lock release.

Either you have a loose connection or the APIM is bad. Chances are its the later.

How did it get broken...was anything else damaged? Just curious if its a defect, poor harness placement, operator error?

They are wired into the parking lamp circuit for dimming and the splice for that is up front in the parking lamp circuit, not inside so if you parking lamps work the circuit is fine.
