Hmmmm, I have a 13 SE and I lock my key inside all the time and use keypad to get back in........no 7-8 9-0 buttons, no nothing......just lock and walk! ??

Just noticed OP's car is Limited, mine probably works because I don't have pushbutton start??

I need help! A couple of months back, I noticed a small amount of coolant lost from the tank. It was probably a 1/4 inch below the full when cold line so not too bad. I filled it up with water and it eventually was lost again and not back to the same level. I recently noticed my heater is warm along with defroster, both use to be hot. Last, I kind of notice a small odor of fish or urine when I run the heater or defroster for a few seconds. I then felt what I believe is the coolant inlet hose (top hose) in the engine bay that goes to the heater core. It was warm. The bottom hose which I believe is the outlet hose was HOT. Im not sure if this is a sign of a bad heater core or water pump issue since the top hose isn't very hot. Im assuming that maybe the pump isn't pumping much coolant to the heater core but not sure why I would smell coolant. 

 

Any ideas? It's a 2013 Edge SE with 91k on the odo. Im considering renting a coolant pressure tester to test the heater core but not sure if that would work with the engine cold and thermostat closed. 

If you are noticing a smell that is coming from your air vents, that points to heater core. Anything going wrong with the WP would not be doing that.

Hi, 

   New owner of 2009 Limited (got it 3 weeks back). In the Welcome forum, some of the senior members greeted me - really happy.  Mine is FWD and built before 01/16/2009. While buying, I noticed that the coolant was very dirty. So, after buying, took the vehicle to FORD dealer and did the Coolant Flush. After driving home, I noticed that the dealer has put the Gold Coolant. I went back and checked with dealer about the Green Specialty coolant. Dealer says that they have NOT seen the green coolant in the last 20 years - it is either Gold or Orange. 

 

  I asked about whether the gold will create any problem with heater core, etc.... (because that is why Ford changed to Green, right).   Dealer is ready to put Green Coolant, but I have to decide and tell them. Dealer says that 09 built before 01/16/2009 came with Gold, so they put Gold. What do you all suggest - if Gold is problematic, then I will go with Dark Green specialty. Over the years, if Ford fixed the Gold coolant (not to create any corrosion issues), then I will leave the coolant as it is. If Gold is problematic, then I will go for the Dark Green Coolant. Please suggest and let me know which one to go with. 

 

   [ I already changed Transmission fluid with Valvoline Maxlife ATF and changing the Steering fluid this weekend with the same Valvoline Maxlife ATF. Brake fluid looks very clear, so later ]. 

 

   Sorry if this is a wrong place to put this topic and Thanks in advance for any input/suggestions. 

 

Regards. 

 

You should use the search function on here and read a bunch. The coolant topic has been discussed a tremendous amount already. Cheers!

I would be more worried about the rust then figuring out the part.

Lol......that's old dried chocolate shake that the previous owner musta spilled!  I cleaned all that up.......Yuk!  ?

I recently re-did the stereo/sync arrangement in my 13 SE and while inside the console saw a small round device of some kind that faces forward into the small storage cubby hole that is under the front of the console. I tried looking up the "part" numbers that are on the device and on a tag that is fastened to the wire leading to the device, with no luck. Is this a small accent light that is burned out perhaps?? Ok sleuths, what do you say??  ?

Blood stains, even old dried ones can be cleaned with hydrogen peroxide. Soak - blot, soak - blot, over and over until gone. No rubbing.

Am giving this post a bump please.............I too am wondering where under the dash or at the inside fuse box is a reverse signal???  2013 SE...........Thanks ?

Well, its nice that my transmission is of the year they still have dipsticks.  It also pleases me that the fluid on the dipstick is a nice red color, with no smell.  I heard things that if your fluid stinks then you don't change it.  I'd have thought that the fluid would have been all black after this long.  But for it to be a nice clean red color still makes me happy.  Fingers crossed the fluid coming out of the drain hole will also be a nice red color!  Ill be picking up some fluid on Wednesday, and do a drain on Thursday.  Let it go for maybe a month, then do another if no slipping occurs.  Thanks for the help.

You are buying correct Motorcraft fluid, correct??

2013 SE 3.5   58,000 miles

Been reading for hours and am running out of ideas......same problem, fans will not run with a/c on. Done so far: ordered a new motorcraft fan assembly from rockauto > installed and still no fans > fuse (60A w/o tow pkg) good > 12 volts to FCM good > each fan (old & new) run with 12 volts applied. The small white and blue control wire at the main plug in to the FCM is not receiving the signal from the PCM telling the fans to come on. Had the battery out yesterday for a couple hours and when I hooked it back up ....Shazam!! the fans came on!!......for about 2 or 3 minutes, then right back to no good

Am showing 2 trouble codes in Forscan, I can clear P0480 and it will come back after trying a/c again, can't clear P160A and in my reading am assuming it is there because of a few changes I did with Forscan like pk lamps as DRL's, disable bulb out check (for running LED's) etc.

So to wrap up, there are no temp or pressure sensors that could be the culprit and I am probably going to have to go to the dealer to have my PCM checked out.  Anyone have anything else for advice??....and thanks!!

Ok, so I knew when I bought my 13 SE that the stereo would be tricky to live with and just yanking out the factory unit and sticking in an aftermarket stereo would not be simple or cheap. I would like to ask a couple of things......can someone confirm that I have Sync v1.5 in my Edge by the pics?.....and second, I have tried everything I can think of to get it to auto start/play bluetooth media stream when starting the car but I can not ?   it starts on "SYNC Line In" every time even though I changed it to bluetooth in the settings (I think). I have a spare phone (OnePlus 3) paired as primary phone and am streaming Spotify, but every time I start up I have to go thru the media menu and select bluetooth for source. Oh, and one more......I have forscan loaded on my laptop and am all set to start experimenting, is there any control of sync available in forscan???   Thanks!!

Nope, its the remote start hood pin switch, I used this and forscan to get RS.

Thanks!!

Hello, new here and new (to me) '13 SE owner. Right in the middle of the engine bay just behind the grill is a 2 wire plug that is just "parked" onto a plastic matching plug mounted to the front structure. I'm assuming it's for an option my Edge doesn't have, can someone tell me what it is ???  Thanks

Well....new to me anyway!! ? Hello everyone, just bought a 2013 SE bright silver with 56,650 miles clean as a whistle. Have already learned a bunch from this forum and now am official member. Cheers ya'll!!
