My 2012 Fusion has the same 3.5, I check the coolant level and the oil (level and if it has water/coolant and milky) every few tanks of gas. I did identify the weep holes but I don't really check them, they are not that easy without really digging in. I did remove the under engine plastic panel as it masked an issue I had with an oil leak.

Again, not sure what this intercooler on a non turbo vehicle is. You can see if in the Vehicle settings you have trailer sway control.

I went to the site from the Navigation manual, which eventually goes to https://ford.navigation.com/home/en_US/FordNA/USD and when I put in 2010 Ford Edge I get the option for North America 2019 map updates for $150, https://ford.navigation.com/product/Catalog/Catalog_Ford_Edge_2010/Ford-Lincoln-Mercury-North-America-Map-Update-V11-0x-Includes-Gracenote-Disc/sku/U2192-0000-811NAM/en_US/FordNA/USD I am pretty sure yours has the DVD (that is not just the DVD for maps but also updates for the navigation). I am just spit balling here, I don't own a vehicle that has this version of navigation or SYNC, but I am pretty sure it is the same as the same genre Lincoln MKZ, I looked into updates when I was looking for a car, when I ended up with my 2012 Fusion (without nav, thank god, it is pretty bad). I assume you have the voice activated navigation with the buttons all around it and the 2 sorta knobs at the top corners? You can probably find older ones on places like eBay, or maybe the current one, not sure.

I thought that all interior bulbs from 2015 to newer are all LED, no separate bulb but it is part of the fixture.

Yes, there are 2 weep holes that can show coolant leaking out of them. I hope the coolant isn't green, but Orange (or the Yellow that superseded Orange).

What version of the maps DVD do you have? They did a final V11.0 in 2019 (no more map updates, and limited quantities, but they say it is still in stock).

Is it all up to date for the previously required stuff? Coolant at 105,000? The transmission fluid is 150,000 but that is pretty long. PTU and rear diff also at 150,000 if AWD. Serpentine accessory drive belt also 150,000.

Hmm, the manual says that if you don't have the message center you simply select the one you want to reset (by just toggling the trip/reset button), press and hold the trip/reset button until it resets after 2 seconds. If you have the message center, when you have that trip displayed (switch between them using the Info button), the Reset button (along with the Info and Setup buttons) you press and hold until it resets.

There are cheaper places to get a replacement for both, but be aware that with only 1 key, you will need to visit the dealer, or a locksmith to program in that second key, not just getting it cut. Since the remote start is a separate module, that is done separately and requires finding the override/programming button. There are also aftermarket remote starts that use the factory key (you either press lock 3 times, or you alternate lock-unlock-lock) on the factory IKT. I didn't know I had one on my 2015 Fusion until my daughter was trying out the global window close and pressed lock button 3 times instead of lock, then hold lock until they started closing. They do seem a lot more pricey for the 2010 Edge than for cars I have looked for them in the past.

That remote start system was a custom added option (usually they are included with the vehicle and the dealer installs it, but for the 2010 Edge it is installed at the factory it appears) for your year, and there is no integrated solution, you can't get a 5 button IKT (Integrated Keyhead Transmitter) key to replace your 4 button one and have the remote start button work.

Welcome! I find just about any question I have answered in the owners manual if it isn't a super secret thing or a very technical thing. I am sure that many here have probably already dealt with some of the things you have questions about though!

On my 2019 with fog lights, the fog light button is to the left of the rotary dial to select off/park/on/auto (and the dash dimmer up and down are on the right of it, fogs replace the down/dim cluster button).

2011->2018 Edge didn't have fog lights as an available option I don't think. 2007-2010 SEL and higher, and 2019+ SEL and higher do. There are aftermarket fog lights that replace the signature LED lighting with fog lights and LED surrounds (and some are also turn signals). They generally have a full harness and a switch that appears similar to what they look like in fog light equipped vehicles. Seems like some of the steel bumper behind the bumper cover might need modified/cut.

From the first 2022 Canada Order Guide published 8/16 it is listed as a change:

Same in the US, and same since 2022.

Did it (3.5 V6 not 3.6) come with the factory towing package? If yes, then it is rated to tow 3500 pounds. If no, if you added a hitch and wiring, then the limit is 2000 pounds. The differences include trailer sway control on the towing package, I don't know if it includes extra coolers. Loaded that trailer is around 3,300 pounds (I think...). So you would have to have the factory tow package to tow that trailer, even empty. Since your vehicle isn't turbocharged, it won't have an intercooler. They must mean either external (aux) transmission cooler?

They (Dongar) show the 5 pin connector for 2021+ Edge, but the 2019 has the same connector? They also show SEL and higher, but starting in 2019 all trim levels got auto dimming mirror. I get that they can't know every precise detail for the wide range of vehicles they are trying to sell these for, but I would think they could do better. Does anyone have the wiring diagram/pinout for the rear view mirror? While I am trying to be less of a cheapskate with this vehicle and try for plug and play, engineered solutions and higher quality stuff, I find it difficult to spend $30 on a 12v to 5v converter. I know that these connectors are expensive and finding the plug that connects to the body harness is hard, and this is an elegant solution...but I spent $2 (that might be a high estimate as I bought enough for 5 projects) recreating the same thing on my 2012 Fusion, and it isn't exactly a hack or eyesore. I also have a dash cam from a previous vehicle that I wired into the fuse box for constant and switched power, but with it running near the rear view camera it caused the RKE range to be about 5 feet, and caused the TPMS to fault frequently, I tried adding a choke to the wires but that didn't seem to help. If might have been the actual camera itself. I had to pull it and use one that had a USB cable (I guess between the twisting and the proximity of all the wires) to not cause issues with the other stuff.

It is possible you have Remote Start (from the fob) as mentioned is an available option with a package on the SEL. That 3 button remote is not the standard one for the Edge, it should be a 4 button (add Liftgate to that 3 button one), or 5 button (also adding the remote start button). If you have all the other items in the Convenience Package (120v power point or the 3 button garage door set on the drivers sun visor would be easiest to spot), then you would need a 5 button remote and add it if possible (be sure it is possible before you proceed, ask me how I know...). If it has 2 3 button remotes, I would guess the original 4 or 5 button remotes are still programmed in, and if it has 2 more, it won't be simple to add another remote.

I thought that mine were okay on my newly acquired Edge, but when I tried to put a 21mm socket on them, it only engaged about half way down on most of them. I got a set of 23 (I couldn't figure out why 23 until I got them) of 21mm hex m14x1.5 solid lug nuts. These are similar to ones I have used on all my other vehicles, and don't think the smaller conical seat length matters. I replaced them on 2 wheels and will drive it around and check before doing the other 2 wheels. For $1 more I got 3 extra lugs (over the 20 pack) to have spares, but thought it was a typo and would be 24 (for a 6 lug F-150), but they are for a Jeep with the spare that uses 3 lugs to connect to the spare tire carrier. I was barely able to get the OEM lug wrench on them, but my 13/16-21mm lug socket was a no go, but works well with the new lugs. They are 13/16 (20.64mm) but the OEM lug wrench does fine with them. I am glad no one was recording me trying to get the lug wrench off the jack, a very new setup for me but once I noodled it all out it makes sense. The spare actually had 60 psi of air.

It became available in the 2015 with the type 2 (left and right message centers). For the Fusion it was only changeable in Forscan for 2015 and newer, so I am not sure if it is possible or not in the 2012, I don't think it is.

Nice! Hopefully it will be a reliable, safe, and fun vehicle for her. That might be the only Edge in the Phoenix/Tucson/surrounding areas I didn't look at, I think I narrowed mine down more to 2016 and newer eventually.

I did 5+ years of plugging and unplugging USB cables (I had Android, everyone else had iPhone) in my 2017 Escape with a single port in the cubby, and never wore it out. I like having 2 in the Edge, I keep the cords plugged in, but I think I am going to try an aftermarket CarPlay/Android Auto wireless solution, as my wife is pretty rough with cords and connectors (I treat them like they are my life support...). I would prefer at least one Type C port, even if it doesn't do fast charging, I think my Google Pixel 6 Pro actually loses charge plugged into the port for Android Auto, with the screen off. In the 2019 Edge I have ran into twice that my phone disconnected. I use these ridiculously short cables with 90 degree ends on each end, and having a straight end plugged into the Edge works better, so I use one of those, and no more issues.

?Quite the experience, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right? When my wrecked 2017 Escape was in my driveway, and the door wouldn't close, I had a similar experience, I really had to try hard to get the door to close (the top of the window frame was 4 inches out, but latched to shut off the light), the battery minder helped a little.

The keys for my 1982 F-150 (note that the blade is a mirror image/opposite and each one only fits in the slot designed for it): Same with my 79 Zephyr, 81 Fairmont, 80 Fairmont, and one of my Mustangs, it was the earliest vehicle I remember with that style key. Yes, I will stop now, just thought I would throw out more better ideas on not getting into a state where you might be locked out at a bad time. I don't compute short term ownership.

I wanted the slightly better fuel mileage out of the 2.0, but in the back of my mind I wasn't sure I wanted another 3.5 powered vehicle. My 2012 Fusion Sport has the 3.5, and I drive it hard, and it only has 128k miles. I maintain it fairly well, but again, drive it aggressively and hard. I also didn't own it for the first 105k miles, and it had none of the 100k-120k maintenance done before I bought it. It is was my beat around town car, but it has been on a few longer 1000+ mile trips, and my son is using it to learn to drive and go to school with. I wanted to not have a "coolant intrusion" 2.0 (I sweated bullets with my 2017 Escape with the 1.5), and something with the amount of labor involved in swapping a water pump, if caught in time to not cause catastrophic engine failure, I thought a 2019+ Edge was what I wanted, as the 2020+ Escape just didn't excite me, and finding a later 2019 Escape wasn't really in the cards. I thought I preferred the normally aspirated engines, but with how much more driveable the 1.5 GTDI over the 2.5 is is crazy, pretty similar ratings, but just different beasts to drive. If I drive sensible in the Edge, I can get over 30 mpg (cruise set to 81, very little acceleration to get out of traffic), only time I got over 27 mpg in my Fusion is when I had a temp spare on it and babied it home. I get 3 mpg better on a similar generally downhill interstate run with the 2.0 over the 3.5, but the 3.5 is so much fun to drive I rarely just cruise along with traffic, and gas mileage takes a hit.
