That's how I always have done it as the negative side of the battery isn't easy to get to. Start-stop still works for ~ 2 months so far after resetting the BMS. I haven't looked at the battery state of charge, but I can if the issue pops up again.

I posted this in another thread, but: I don't have much to back this up, but my start-stop wasn't working for months stating that it was disabled for vehicle charging. I even threw it on the battery charger for a few days & it still wouldn't work. I went into FORScan & reset the BMS & my start-stop function has returned to normal. The car would sit for days on the charger & the start-stop function wouldn't work, even when the charger would indicate that it's in trickle mode, aka fully charged. Figured I'd need to drive it around more, so I'd unhook it & go for a couple hours drive at highway speeds & it still wouldn't work. Got curious & went into FORScan & did a BMS reset & it's back to normal. As I said earlier, I don't have much to support this, but I think that the BMS lies. It was almost 3 years to the day that I purchased our 2020, (10/2020) when the start-stop feature quit due to vehicle charging. I reset the BMS in January & it's been fine ever since

3 times drain & fill on our 2016 SEL Fwd 2.0 w/ 69,083 miles. 2nd time we've done it on the 2016. Got anywhere between 4 & 4.5 quarts out each time. This time we used Valvoline Maxlife instead of OEM š¤ -
change single note horn to dual note horn
lildisco replied to Dan H's topic in Accessories & Modifications
I was able to take part of the fender liner off & installed a 2015-2018 OEM Ford edge horn. Plug & play, less than 10 minutes on our 2020 SEL AWD. -
How to turn radio off and back on..

They should have with the volume button. I'd read the owners manual & if that doesn't work, I'd make a trip to the dealership. -
2019 Edge Transmission Not Long For This World?
lildisco replied to waflyboy's topic in 2019-2020 Edge & Nautilius
Thanks. I guess it is serviceable when you split the trans open, lol. Here's MacT talking about the ULV fluids: https://youtu.be/kJQW6wXS0qg?si=e4Hbwa7tYkCXaygT -

To my knowledge, there's no filter in these transmissions, so any wear from the transmission just sits in the coolant & cycled through everything. When I do another 3x drain & fill I'll probably switch to Valvoline. Probably by that time MacT will have changed his 2019 fluid a couple of times & report on the results. -
2019 Edge Transmission Not Long For This World?
lildisco replied to waflyboy's topic in 2019-2020 Edge & Nautilius
I also swapped the PTU Fluid to Redline Lightweight Shockproof (AKA Smurf Blood, because it's blue). After ~8,000 miles, there's way less gunk in it, compared to OEM, but with ~8,000 miles, that's nothing on new fluid, but I wanted to make sure that I got as much of the OEM fluid out of there. The 1st pic is the 1st drain with the OEM fluid & this is the most recent drain with Redline Lightweight Shockproof -

This is from the 2nd drain & fill, slightly more red, but not a lot. It is my understanding that the OEM ULV fluid turns dark pretty quick. Someone suggested Valvoline makes a ULV fluid that stays red much longer than the OEM. -

Ziebart traps in moisture & rots metal from the inside out. Use a breathable undercoating like fluid film, unless you don't plan on keeping your vehicle for an extended period of time.

Also decided to do a transmission Drain & fill x3, touch up my undercoating with Fluid Film & swap over to my winter rubber on our 2020 SEL AWD. Spring me screwed fall me & didn't clean the winter wheels when the weather was nicer & warmer. So that took some extra time & nice hot bucket of water. Besides touching up the door hinges & the bottom of the doors & hatch, I should be ready for winter. The 1st drain & fill got about 4.2 qts out & the other 2 got 3.5 qts out. Motorcraft Ulv fluid was $3/qt cheaper than Valvoline equivalent. Fluid was quite dark & a tiny hint of red in it. On the 3rd drain, there was more red in it. Currently ~26,000, but I did a lot of hauling with a small utility trailer & ztr this year & wanted to be extra cautious. A friend of mine who owns a transmission shop said that I should be fine till next year, but was shocked at how dark the fluid was. It was getting late & I was tired & forgot to snap a Pic of the 3rd drain, but it was more red than the first 2. -
fill location for Air Lift air springs
lildisco replied to dabangsta's topic in Cargo, Hauling, Roof Racks & Towing
I have them on my 2020 SEL AWD. I ran them above my curt hitch & conceal it behind the bumper cover when not in use. The I use my portable air compressor which I keep in the hatch area & inflate them. Makes a nice difference when traveling with a lot of cargo in the back.- 1 reply

Roughly time for an oil change, so I decided to do that & drain & refill the PTU. The PTU had about 8,000 miles on it since I drained the OEM fluid & replaced it with Redline Lightweight Shockproof 75W140. It had very little gunk on it compared to last time. -
My 2020 SEL didn't come with the insulation or engine cover. Ordered both & installed in under 10 minutes. The hood insulation seems to be worth it, especially since we live in the rust belt.

I think our issue was the oil pressure sensor just above the oil filter. Has telflon tape on it I think. Took my mechanic 2 visits to find it. Since he replaced it, the garage doesn't smell like oil & no puddles under it. Going over 4 months since he replaced it & 0 oil on the pan or surrounding areas

I thought that purge valve is under the hood on the drivers side of the engine. Is there a canister purge valve in a different location? Our 2016 2.0L purge valve was on the driver's side of the engine. Was ~$150 part.

Oil Change today. Was nearly at 6,000 miles since I changed it last. OLM said that it was 57%. I did have 2 highway trips so maybe that's why it thought it could have gone more. I usually change it around 50% & that's right around 5,000 miles. -

I get the urge every other yearish. This year the weather was cool enough where I wouldn't drip with sweat doing it, so that was my reasoning this year, lol.
