I hope you get a reply from someone that has tried it and not just speculating (like me...). I want to upgrade my front brakes on my FWD 2019 SEL to the larger AWD rotor and calipers. The rotors are the same size as the ST/ST Performance (345mm...and are 25mm larger than the Focus ST...) and I need to upgrade my 17 inch spare to 18 inch. Other than the calipers have 2mm larger pistons (than the standard brakes) and painted, I don't think there is that much difference in the size. More the difference in the rotor style. The order guide says that the inflator kit is substituted due to the summer tires, and not the brakes.

So in looking for a steering wheel used, I can't find one that has adaptive cruise and paddle shifters. But it seems like I only need the rear trim piece, the electronic switches and harness. That all will bolt up to my existing 2019 wheel and the trim piece has the cut outs for them? The more I drive it in the mountains the more I miss manual shift ability. Did you take any pictures of the work you did? Did the wiring to the switches need to be inserted into a connector did the harness for them snap into an unused spot?

Door Buttons Not Illuminated - Is This Normal?
dabangsta replied to McGruber's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
Same here. If the car is off, irregardless of the position of the light switch those lights are off. With the car in "accessory" (push start without pushing brakes), On, and accessory delay those lights are on, irregardless of the light switch position. -

They don't illuminate on my 2019, and I don't think they should. They are not functional until in accessory or run (or delay). -
2019 Edge Transmission Not Long For This World?
dabangsta replied to waflyboy's topic in 2019-Current Edge & Nautilius
It does have a filter, and while it isn't user serviceable it is more like ones that are, not just a screen in between the case halves, but at bottom of the pump. -
I would be suspect about a transmission fluid that was both V and low viscosity. I had another vehicle that had the same transmission that first used Mercon, then Mercon V (which was back spec'ed for Mercon), and finally Mercon LV. I don't think anything changed as far as programming or friction material, but still with as many issues as these transmissions sometimes have, putting the incorrect fluid seems counter productive. Generally Mercon LV is also Dexron VI spec (both low viscosity), and Mercon V is Dexron III. I am sure it much more compatible than SP.

2019 Edge Transmission Not Long For This World?
dabangsta replied to waflyboy's topic in 2019-Current Edge & Nautilius
I think Mercon ULV is like Mercon LV, and it starts out darker red and get really dark really quick. When the first Mercon LV vehicles came out Ford published a document that fluid color, as long as not brown or smelling burnt, is not a good indicator of health of fluid or transmission. Obviously a lot of solids in it is bad also. -

dabangsta replied to DJMLibra79's topic in Welcome Forum!
Welcome! I think you will find a lot of very good information here on upkeep, issue solving, and modifications. SEL with some addons seems to be my sweet spot as well, I would love many of the things from the Titanium but usually takes me over my comfort zone for price. -
Welcome! Honorable reason to need a midsized SUV. I should be empty nesting now, but generally there are 3-5 of us when we go any distance, and it is a good size for that. A little more space than my 2017 Escape (but not as much more as might be expected). I don't know how much the loss of sliding back doors is with however old they are, but my sister decided it wasn't worth it and went from an Odyssey to an Outback to lose the soccer mom vibe.

What year, model, and radio (Sony B&O, premium, 6 speaker, 4 speaker, etc), SYNC 1.1, 2, 3? 2011-2014?

45-70 psi at idle? That seems pretty high. 20-30 depending on temperature is more the normal. I did a similar thing with a 3.5 that had the pressure light on first at a few specific stops, then sometimes under 1200 rpm, I checked it with a mechanical gauge and it didn't drop below 20 psi even when it was 110 degrees out and the engine up to full temp (I replaced the sender and that fixed it for me).
-
TL:DR it could easily be the oil pressure sender which is pretty cheap and easy to replace in the 3.5, but replace it because it might be something more sinister. My 2012 Fusion Sport has the 3.5, and I ran into a similar situation. My oil pressure light would come on at a very specific intersection only. I also noticed a small oil leak (I removed the under engine pan or cover or splash shield) and noticed drops on the ground. I just let the light come on and the small oil leak until I drove it very aggressively (stop light, Focus ST in the lane next to me, that lane ends in 1/8 of a mile, and people wait until the very end to merge and it gets ugly, so I don't give them the chance). My minor oil leak became a large one, and my oil light would come on if the engine was under 1400 RPM. I had the pressure sender but was waiting for an oil change, so...it forced my hand. I swapped the oil pressure sender and both the oil leak was gone, and the light no longer comes on at weird but understandable times.

The fob does the following: button presses to lock/unlock, does that work? proximity lock unlock (hand behind handle to unlock), does that work? once in the cabin sensed and allows starting (this doesn't work) If it is just the inside proximity and it saying key not found unless you use the emergency backup slot, and TPMS doesn't work, I do think that module you link to does both inside the vehicle. This thread shows the RTM location on a 2018. The module is different year to year, but probably in the same location.

I don't think the Edge got it until 2019. The 2018 Brochure mentions FordPass app but only to use to find gas stations, not actually connect to the car. But I own a 2019 and haven't owned an earlier SYNC 3 Edge. My 2017 Escape had it, but didn't have it for 2016 when SYNC 3 was introduced in that vehicle.
-
Great news! Glad you came back and documented the success, some very awesome resources available here for sure, and end result helps out just as much. Adaptive cruise really is nice on those 10-12 hour drives, even more so on my 2019 with stop and go and lane centering. I don't pay less attention driving, but it help me focus a little less, and helps correct some of my bad behaviors, like running too close to a slower vehicle ahead of me. I will change lanes sooner so it doesn't put on the whoa and slow me down a lot, but if it does I don't over react and force my way into the other lane.
-
Since everything else shows the minimum at the low end of the scale, that 7 psi wasn't from initial startup? Can it be reset to not show initial value? I wonder how it is calculated. When I was adding PIDs to Torque the oil pressure one was actually percentage. So most people change the formula to use 80 psi as 100% (so they take the percentage of 80 psi and display that as the pressure) which seems to be what is done here.
-
SyncConnect/FordConnect wasn't introduced until 2019 for the Edge. That is what allows things like start, lock, unlock from the FordPass app. It started appearing on vehicles after the next generation of SYNC from yours (you have SYNC 2, SYNC with MyFord Touch) which was SYNC 3, but it is separate functionality even from SYNC 3, and the Edge got that in 2016 but not FordConnect until 2019.
-
Is this using OBD-II data, an added electronic sender, or a mechanical gauge? I had a low oil pressure light on in my 2012 Fusion with the 3.5 (which is not a 2.7 GTDI engine I know...) at some specific places (like stopping at a light after doing 45 mph and coming around a corner), so I checked with a mechanical gauge at it was at 18-21 psi depending on the engine temp. I replaced the oil pressure sender and it no longer comes on when idling when hot and specific driving conditions.

Both levels/lines state the turn signal is amber (2019-2024). This is my 2019 SEL with the low line tail lights: turn signal: taillight:
-
The line item "LED Signature Lighting" is the front headlamp, the "Mid" line. (The SE gets the "Low" headlamps without signature lighting, the "High" is optional on Titanium and ST) The line item "LED Taillamps with Amber Turn Signals" is the "Low" line for the taillights, without the "Signature Lighting" which is the inner taillight also illuminating. Only the Titanium and ST get the "High" line. Your ST-Line does not have the "High" line taillights, as you have noticed, and what you see is exactly what should happen.
-
Titanium and ST get "LED Taillamps with Signature Light and Amber Turn Signals" which has the inner tail lamp that also has illumination (other than the backup lamp).

Classic indicators of a problem with the evap purge valve. You can test it. The continuing to crank after you release the key from the start position is expected, from your manual:

Anyone have these and a cleaver concealed but easy to get to to add air from a compressor? I frequently load a reasonable amount of stuff (half of the cargo area is a dog crate with 2 ten pounds dogs) in the cargo area on my 2019 Edge SEL without adaptive headlights. Apparently it is enough to cause 50% of the people coming towards me to flash their high beams, and those I am traveling behind to slow down let me by and zing me with high beams. I don't think the vehicle has been in an accident and the headlights replaced or removed. I did the procedure in the owners manual for vertical alignment (checking, I didn't adjust it) and it seemed dead on. I will probably check it again, and maybe adjust it down. I assume it is like HID and the cut off is below the center line, and the hot spot to the right is on the line. But I think the best solution is Air Lift 1000 bags to run a little air in them when I have stuff in the cargo area. I have only found a few examples of places people have mounted the fill stem, and those are independent ones (which I did with my 1997 Mark VIII but for fine tuning side to side for launching), and those are in the hitch receiver retainer pin holes. I don't have a hitch yet, and when I do, it will be used. Other vehicles I have seen them mounted in the fuel fill area, my older cars I mounted them under the bumpers (but they had metal bumpers, not bumper covers), as one of the license plate mounts (back panel wasn't attached to the deck lid or cargo door like the Edge). It should be easy to get to, but doesn't need to be overly so. It will be one common fill.

What region is this? I have not seen a North American head unit/nav with an unlock code in a long time, but other places like Europe/UK it is more common.

2018 Ford Edge No Rear Tweeter Wire
dabangsta replied to bhamraS97's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
What model and radio (SE 6 speaker, SEL SYNC 3 and Premium Audio, Titanium/Sport with 12 speaker Sony w sub)? Must at least be 9 speaker as 6 speaker setup only has tweeters in the front. I thought it it was like many other Fords and the wiring for them came off the lower speakers, but doesn't seem to be the case, the woofer and tweeter both are wired all the way separately so that is weird.
