	More likely it's just because some people are learly about having a "open" hole leading to their gas tank. However, even without it, the tank is still protected. Personally I never liked the idea of a capless fill. I like a cap that screws on and makes me feel that my tank is closed. I can see it, crank it down tight and it's no big deal to remove it when refueling. Just another needless "feature" IMO.

	Apparently the "8" is a different mount and doesn't fit the 2015. It's the "B" that fits. Why the difference in price? Well it's a 2015+ after all. grin
 - 
	Sound with the 2.7 tt eb. Pretty poor.
 - 
	Shows through 2016 but now states doesn’t fit. Found yours on other sites and showing "not available". $50 bites but lists for over $60. If you're going to get one, may want to grab it when you can find it. Everything is only going to get more expensive from here on out. Just seen where some people are now paying $7.55 for s gallon of gas. (gurnt)

	Well crap! I didnt look at the fitment (was lookinh at 2015 and the buggers snuck that one in on me. Sorry). Think this is the same one you found, half the price. https://www.fordgenuineautoparts.com/oem-parts/ford-locking-fuel-plug-8u5z9c268b?origin=pla&gclid=CjwKCAiAg6yRBhBNEiwAeVyL0M2PIXY6TLG6nkkwfwGMi3ol5rd84eZIqzT0bdiRhcjclCI0HRJqEBoChCEQAvD_BwE

	Wonder if water is entering at the top of the door weatherstripping? Seems more likely than around the window.
 - 
	Only thing that comes to mind is either the seal around the moon roof or the rear window washer spray line. (Plastic, if the line had a break in it, fluid possibly power spraying into headliner.) My money would be on seal around window. I'd start around top of window.

	This is the cap you need for use with your capless fuel fill. Motorcraft. $25. https://accessories.ford.com/products/locking-fuel-plug

	What I was thinkin of was 'this' cable with 'these' ports. With your phone plugged in via usb cable, does your phone show it to be connected via usb? That the halo ring is lighting up indicates the port is getting power. The phone obviously works, so the cable is suspect. (It's possible that one port is bad, but all ports)? Personally, I charge via a power cord plugged into a power point as it charges much faster than usb. The only time i use usb is to listen to an audio book copied to my phone. (But I haven't done this in a couple of years. Prefer sirus for entertainment.)

				2013 Ford Edge SEL AWD - AWD Not Working
enigma-2 replied to fknfrds's topic in All Wheel Drive (AWD)
Not common for rear differentials fail this young. I'd bet the previous owner beat the shirt out of it. (Some of these guys think their street car belongs on a race track and drives them accordingly). My local dealer's service manager feels the PTU fail way to often. He recommends 30k miles (48 km) baised on the fluid condition they see. 80k (120 km) miles for rear differentials. - 
	Are the phones recognizing the USB? (Check qsetting to see if car is listed as being connected). If not, try a different cable.
 - 
	As the fluid is red, check fluid levels for power steering and transmission. Fluids should be at or near top of "hatching" engraved on dip stick. If low, you found the part that's causing the problem. (Top off with additional fluid to prevent problems).
 - 
	I have ford garage change oil (TheWorks for tire rotation and inspection). They use synthetic blend and Motorcraft filter. Think mine has around 127k miles. Diverting a bit, have you changed your coolant? Ford garage switched my 2009 MKX over to latest coolant. Said they couldn’t buy the gold anymore. Changing coolant important for pump longevity. Also consider changing tranny fluid, the PTU fluid and the power steering fluid, the rear axle and brake and blinker fluids. Concerning the use of high mileage oil, consider that Mobile 1 High Mileage will give you better fuel economy (which is always good) but not as much protection for your engine.
 - 
	Does look like a water path. What exactly are we looking at? Difficult to place in the car. Is that a window gasket?
 - 
	What is special about your gas fill? Is it the kind that doesn't have a gas cap? Checking on-line at RockAuto, it looks like the correct Motorcraft part number for a 2015 edge is: 8L3Z9030E, FC1062, $34.99. (Color is black for gasoline.) This is the only locking cap shown for the 3.5 L engine.

	A independent shops can have good or only fair mechanics, but none will carry the specialized tools, software or schooled technicians that are required by FordMoCo. Dealers labor rate is higher because they need to carry tooling and training not needed by an independent. If my Lincoln needs transmission work, they schedule it with a technician who's trained in a Ford transmission school. Specialized technicians is something you won't find in an independent. They deal with all brands and must be a jack of all trades. There are several mechanics in our area that can change oil. But I still only use my local Ford/Lincoln dealer because I know they are the best, have the tools and test equipment necessary and offer a good guarantee that I can depend on. If your set against a Ford dealer, rather than using a "chain" mechanic (which I view with some septism as they employ minimum wage "mechanics"), I'd recommend a local pro. Someone who's been in business for years and has a reputation to defend. Ask on Facebook who others recommend in your area.

	Its my understanding that version 3.8 is the last official version and 3.10 was released on Nov.16, 2017 to address certain bugs. If everything is working ok, about the only thing that you would gain worthwhile are the addition of a few newer cell phones.

	How about the offset?

				2013 Ford Edge SEL AWD - AWD Not Working
enigma-2 replied to fknfrds's topic in All Wheel Drive (AWD)
The fact that you can turn both wheels independently indicates that the planet gear broke. If the coupling broke, no power would be transmitted, but the rotational torque by spinning one wheel would be transmitted to the opposite through the carrier assy. If you bought the car used, I'd suspect the previous owner had abused the car. But, at 300 km I'd say it's doing good. BTW, does the mom and pop shop offer a warranty? (I don't trust ebay and a warranty might be worth paying extra). While they have it down for replacing, I'd consider also changing worn parts; rear shocks, bushings, etc. - 
	
	
				Issues with Sync 2 to 3.4 upgrade
enigma-2 replied to HazMatt24's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
Could always put the OEM unit back in and record the original addresses and bit values for the clock, nav and mic. Then reinstall and reprogram the new unit with these addresses. - 
	You can copy the "as-built" values into the replacement APIM. Been discussed here before. -or, you can buy a replacement APIM and the seller will program it for you. https://www.4dtech.com/replacement-sync-2-module-apim-myford-touch/ Or, yiu could send the radio off and get it serviced. (Or at least talk with these people and get a second opinion. The "could be" remark bothered me. Easiest enough to check by pulling the codes. I think its possible to read the codes through the radio itself. I know its possible in the 2009 unit as ive done it). One example of repair: https://www.infotainment.com/collections/all/2007-ford-edge

Opps, sorry. Something like this then? (Autozone OEM 27111 loner tool program. Probably not too expensive to rent.) - 
	
	
				2015 Edge sport rear brake calipers and Elec parking brake
enigma-2 replied to Eric46's topic in 2015 Edge & MKX
Have you tried compressing the pistons? A tool like this makes it easy. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B085THCFPJ/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_BVWEBN5WX2MN0J2XT20R?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 - 
	Be interested in hearing what they find.
