Okay, thanks everyone for the comments and suggestions.

Here is the conclusion to my problem Battery.  It was the original battery.

Today the Dealer load tested the battery and found that it was too low on power to pass.  Dealer installed and new battery for me.

Crossing my fingers that this one will last 4 or 5 years.

Thanks B.

I will look into the battery problem.  I would hope that is not the problem and that the battery would last 5 years or so.

I kept the battery charger on it overnight and so it started right up yesterday and seemed to have everything in the settings saved as normal.

2016 Edge Titanium with 32000 miles.  Ran it for 45 minutes at idle last night to update the Sync 3 with thumb drive.

Shut it off and went to bed.  This morning the battery was completely dead, no start, no lights, no dash, even the garage opener button didn't work.

What could possibly cause this.  Never any problems in the past.

As of today I am giving up on this update for the Sync 3 .  It is still stuck at ver. 2.0 and the system says the last update to it was in 2017.

Over the weekend we traveled for 3 hours with the update running from the USB.  Didn't work.  Two days later we ran it again for 3 hours and it never completed the update.  Giving up by doing it myself.  I have probably spent over 10 hours of my time wasted trying to do this.

What would a dealer charge to do this update and is this update to Ver. 3.0 worthwhile?

G.

Here is where I'm a with this today.

Downloaded  JR3T-14G381-AS.ZIP File.

Unzipped into these:  SyncMyRide Folder

                                      autoinstall.lst

                                      DONTINDEX.msa

Moved all of this onto the thumbdrive.

Tomorrow will install into the Edge. Hoping it works this time!

Will report back in a few days.

Okay so I am back at this Sync 3 update issue here.

I bought a brand new 16gb usb 2 thumb drive.  it's formatted to FAT32.

I checked my current Sync 3 software:  Ver 2.0, Build 16079.  This is my starting point.

Next, do I need to do an incremental update to get all the way up to Ver 3.0?  Or just go for it and update in one jump up to the current version?

Next question, how many files should I expect to see to be loaded into the thumb drive?  I plan to try this update tomorrow during a 3 hour trip.

G.

We have tried multiple times to update our 2016 Edge Sync 3 system.  We let it run for 45 minutes and did not update.  Currently at Ver. 2 and will not update further.

Car build date is August 2016.  We are using a 16gb thumb drive, usb 2.  I plan to purchase a usb 3 thumb drive and try again.

Any ideas what else to try here.  I hate that Ford website, terrible performance.

Thanks everyone.

 

I located that TSB and I plan to visit the Ford Dealer to find out what they can do to fix this problem.

 

More later.

Okay, here is the bad news.  Dealer wants for the parts and labor   $600.

I'm not going to do it for that cost.  Not worth it.

For those of you living in the Northern Climbs,  this is what we see after driving on Winter slushy, gravel roads near our home.

Somehow the slush and crap collects inside the lower part of all 4 doors.  I have to clean out road sand and gravel by hand everytime I drive it on these roads.

I've never had a vehicle collect so much filth inside the doors before like this one.

Anyone else have this same complaint?  We like everything else about our Edge.

G.

Well we've had this 2016 Edge for 10 days now.  Getting tired of looking at the condensation in the tailgate light bar, like everyone else.  And actually water puddles at each lower corner of the light bar.

So today I used a 1/8 inch drill bit to put a hole at the left and right lower corners of the light bar.  The water puddle came running out.

Now I'll wait and see if the condensation dries up before it freezes in there next week as the cold weather hits us.

G.

Okay, thanks all for the tips and links.

Already had some trouble with SunRoof closure but taken care of and working now.

2016 Edge Titanium AWD V6.  Just picked this one up last week.  We really enjoy driving it.
