Perhaps after you make the turn the plug then just pulls out? I have seen some that removed this way but I'm not sure.

According to Amazon's website, the shocks that enigma-2 listed are not for an ST model. If you're going with the OE replacement which are Bilstein you probably won't find them for $45. This is what I found on Amazon when I looked up my 2019 ST: Amazon.com: Bilstein B4 OE Replacement 15-19 Ford Edge Rear Twintube Shock Absorber (19-283081) : Automotive

I recently changed my rear brake pads and rotors with AutoZone elite brake pads and duralast gold rotors. I. have the standard ST brakes on ,mine. I replaced them because there were groove patterns on the driver side rotor for some time now. The pads were actually OK, no unusual wear so I don't know what was causing it. I did replace all the hardware and so far so good, but I don't even have 1000 miles on them yet. If you're doing the rears yourself make sure to put the parking brake in service mode! My front brakes are doing fine. Also, I cleaned most of the rust off and used brake lube on the contact points indicated in the service manual. I also sprayed fluid film around the hub area etc to help slow the rust. My wheels and rotors were stubborn to get off.

I have a friend with a 2021 ST and he says it does not have the external cooling on the PTU. I have a 2019 ST and it definitely does. Did Ford delete this?

If he has an ST model the PTU doesn't have a drain plug unfortunately. But definitely would stay with the Ford recommended fluids especially if your vehicle is still under warranty

I have to clarify that my post on the battery installation was on a Edge ST. Did not realize the OP was about the 3.5 engine at first. Although I believe most of the information still applies. Concerning the use of forscan, I don't think you need to use it unless you're using a different battery than the original equipment type. Everything on my vehicle is working fine using the method in the video.

I believe the group 65 battery would be to wide and tall.

Recently replaced the battery in my Edge. It was approximately 4 years old and I replaced it with an H6 AGM. I was getting the telltale signs of needing a battery replacement when only my drivers door handle would unlock the vehicle and start/stop would not function. I tried resetting the BMS with a scan tool I have but said it wasn't supported, kinda odd I thought. So I used the method in the video above and it worked fine. Replacing the battery itself is relatively easy and straightforward. I removed the air box assembly to gain access to the battery. One thing I noticed on the IPC for the start/stop information before replacing the battery, it would almost always say not functioning due to vehicle charging. I'm guessing this might also be putting more stress on the alternator since the system thinks the battery needs to be charged constantly. When I tested the old battery it was at 72% charge.

I think the heat output is partly dependent on the interior temperature. The warmer it is inside the easier it is to heat up the seat. Personally, I don't use them until it's in the 20-degree Fahrenheit range or less.

I actually got my fluid at the dealer for $6 a quart which was cheaper than everyone else. I used the motorcraft ULV fluid for my vehicle.

Was curious about the splash guards if they are in fact a direct fit for the ST? Haven't found a set myself that said they fit the ST.

I have a 2019 ST with about 29000 miles. I get the white smoke also but I'm thinking it's because of temperatures. Only ben in the 20-degree Fahrenheit range for highs lately which is what I contribute the white smoke to. I do not recall seeing the white smoke during the summer months? Every other car I observe also has white smoke coming out the tailpipe. Some more than others depending on the vehicle. This is typical here. My coolant level is about the same as 1004ron. Although it does change a little from summer to winter I've never had to add any yet. I'll just be keeping an eye on it and hope it doesn't amount to anything. I was planning on having the coolant changed out next spring to Fords newest coolant. When I bought the ST I figured the 2.7 engine was a proven platform since it had been around several years. Hope it doesn't get added to Fords list of troubled engines.

I was wondering if this noise can be identified separately from other noises under the hood? Such as the high pressure fuel pump and with the hood closed and an engine cover on top also. The only unusual noise I hear once in a while is a metallic sound when starting, more like a noise that would come from starter engagement? Basically just wondering if this is something that would definitely be noticeable and if there's any other factors involved such as mileage and age of vehicle.

The Auto Engine Off in the IPC has nothing to do with the auto start/stop. It's a safety feature that shuts the engine down after a certain amount of time. Like in case you forgot to turn it off. Usually you would turn this off during a sync update. It is always on by default after a key cycle.

welcome to the forum

welcome aboard!

Going to add another possible noise source to check. There's a little grille cover over the rear microphone for the ANC system. On my vehicle this easily comes off. When I tried reattaching it, it doesn't seem to want to clip on but makes that creaking type noise I've been hearing as I push up on it. I've been driving around with it off and that irritating noise I've been hearing is gone! Going to try to find a way to attach it so it doesn't make that noise. Kinda ironic that part of the system that's supposed to make the car quieter does just the opposite.

Are you sure it has a lifetime replacement warranty? Never seen a battery with lifetime warranty. Advance auto's website lists 3 years as the longest warranty on their batteries??

I have a Samsung s20 with a protective case and the wireless charging works as intended. I don't see any notices on my cars screen when initiating wireless charging, but the phone does of course. If the phone slides off center too much I get a notice on the cars screen.

Thought I would post this here as a comparison/reference. I recently did a fluid change on my 2019 Edge ST with the 8F57 transmission. I did not encounter any problems that colinc755 had with his 8F35 transmission. I did remove the airbox to get easier access to the fill/vent plug but there was nothing else attached to it, it came straight out. On a side note, I could've probably just removed one of the intake hoses to gain access to the fill plug. The fill plug itself was easily accessible and was held on by a squeeze clamp and came off easy. Neither the drain plug or level plug were difficult to remove, used a 3/8 drive ratchet with a 3/8 hex socket to remove the level plug. I did remove the tire and set the ride height with a jack and stand to get access to the level plug but turns out it can be reached by turning the wheel out. The amount of fluid that came out was 4 quarts and 12 ounces. My work shop manual says this: Remove the transmission vent cap and fill with transmission fluid. Transmission overhaul (includes main control and torque converter drain) Volume : 6.34 qt ( 6 L) Main control overhaul or replace (with out transmission overhaul) Material : Motorcraft® MERCON® ULV Automatic Transmission Fluid / XT-12-QULV (WSS-M2C949-A) (MERCON® ULV) Volume : 5.28 qt ( 5 L) I refilled with 4 quarts and 16 ounces. The hardest part was probably trying to get the transmission up to operating temp. I drove around for at least 20 minutes and also used sport mode to help. When I did get to the leveling procedure, I had some fluid seep out for a bit and then slowed to a drip and I reinstalled the level plug. I have been monitoring fluid temps off and on since without any issues. I don't have a lot of miles on my ST but I believe in being proactive, and as has been said before "no fluid lasts forever". I've also replaced fluid in my PTU and RDU already.

I have seen water on the ground only once. Other wise I do not, and I check often because I have thought about the same thing. One thing I try to do if I'm parking the car for the day is to run the fan on high with a/c off for a few minutes before shutting the engine off. Sometimes I think I smell something but not sure. Kind of a "musty" smell?

I believe both fans are supposed to turn on when the AC is on. Not sure why both turn off when you turn the AC off unless the engine has reached a low enough temperature.

They're probably referring to the radar plate mounted on the lower grille.

have you looked at the strut mount or stabilizer link?

My 19 ST use to make this thud noise at around 13 mph. I never took it in because I figured if it was something serious I would get a warning. The dealer probably wouldn't acknowledge it anyway and it's difficult to even get an appointment. Then recently I noticed the sound was gone. About the only thing that has changed is the weather, colder.
