  1. If the 2.0 (not sure it is, since this failure is common for the 3.5 as well) you can find the valve separately if you can deal with the hard plastic hose off of it (some heat it up to soften it to remove, and then to go on the new valve).
  2. Common failure on the 2.0, usually purge valve. There are ways to test it (I am sure some of your search results for it include videos on how to test it). It generally is all replaced, some of the harder lines are heat pressed into the valve, and better/easier to replace the entire valve and hoses that are connected to it.
  3. Any installed in North American market 2015-2018 Edge with the 2.0. I was educated earlier on in this thread as to the different year releases by model (why my 2019 Edge doesn't have the same build date check as the Escape and Fusion). They Edge got the affected block 2.0 first, and got a replacement for it before the other vehicles.
  4. I don't know the ratio of 2.0 to 3.5 once the 2.0 was introduced, but I would have expected to see more reports of this earlier with the Edge since it got that affected engine 2 years before the Escape and Fusion. However with 1/3 the production numbers of the Edge versus the Escape and the Fusion, I guess that is why it is more apparent in those higher volume cars. I had a 2017 Escape with the 1.5 that also is possibly affected by this issue. They had a CSP to reprogram it to help mitigate this issue (which I had done) by leaving the coolant pump on longer after engine shut down. If you had that done, and still had the coolant intrusion issue, there was another CSP that extended the warranty to 7 years, 84,000 miles. The car was lost in an accident at 98,000 miles so not sure if it would have failed or not. I had an extended warranty still as well on it. I don't know of any attempts to help the issue not happen with the 2.0. Knowing the source of the issue I don't think there is anything that can be done. Keep up on coolant changes? Many people didn't take in their 1.5 powered Fusion or Escapes for the first CSP, so no extended warranty for the issue. There was a lot of misguided details on what it changed, but the text of it was pretty straight forward in why and what they changed.
  5. So a different post than this? Do you have any of the symptoms or indicators of the coolant intrusion issue or just worried about it? Ford didn't ignore it, they just aren't paying for fixing it for those out of warranty (which yes, to most people, means they are ignoring it). They issued a TSB to the dealerships on indicators, range of affected vehicles, tests to perform, and in the end that a new long block is the remediation, a new block with updates so the issue doesn't happen again.
  6. Starting in 2019 the block heater was optional for vehicles destined for any state (previously it was standard for AK, MN, ND, SD, MT, WI, and WY). So it probably doesn't have it unless it was a special order or a common option for the state it was destined for (like my CA vehicle had $1700 off for the convenience package, wheels, all weather floor mats and Co-Pilot360 Assist+).
  7. The cargo area on my Edge is already compromised with the angle of the rear window (a dog crate that fit in my 2017 Escape won't fit in my Edge for example), I guess if I didn't have tall square things to haul it would be okay, but might as well just have a sedan with pass through rear seats (like any non hybrid Fusion). I don't need ground clearance, I don't need to sit up higher (have to have a CUV to sit up higher, but they keep making them taller and taller, so now your "tall CUV" is like a sedan again).
  8. So you have a Titanium or ST with the optional Adaptive Headlamps (the "high line")? If you have the setting and isn't grayed out, and enabled, do you see the adaptive headlights do the test sweep at startup? I find it odd that they aren't bi-led like the standard headlamps, I have never seen them on and lit up to see the inner bulb. I thought it was more of a turning bulb like the Escape, so didn't really care about finding a Titanium with them (my track record with stuff like this is poor, many Lincolns I have owned all the added stuff breaks, side mirrors tilting down in reverse, dimming side mirrors, seat moving forward when back is lifted to enter back seat in 2 door, etc).
  9. Welcome! I hope the Edge continues to deliver! I have a couple Fusions in my stable, but my Edge was a replacement for an Escape. I am personally a sedan/coupe type person but my wife lives CUVs so I will continue with sedans until I can't, but the Edge is her daily driver and our vacation/travel car. I don't need AWD but wouldn't have minded it, as that is the only way to get the paddle shifters, Southwestern desert calls for AWD never (but my Fusion is AWD).
  10. If for the front movable glass, I think there is one. At https://parts.ford.com/shop/en/us/body/glass-windows-and-related-components/sunroof-glass-seal-roof-panel-opening-seal-p-7t4z7851884a?pdp=y is it 51884 in the diagram, you can also look at related parts, or search for sun roof with your year make and model entered, or VIN for some parts makes it easier.
  11. I don't think the cigarette lighter remains powered all the time after turning off the engine. I will have to try it again, but I use the same thing, it worked with my 2017 Escape and 2012 Fusion, but my 2015 Fusion and 2019 Edge the 12v power points are on for a limited time, 20-30 minutes I think. -EDIT- just checked with a USB power adapter with an LED, the front console outlet (on the passenger side of the console) in my 2019 turns off between 30 minutes and 45 minutes (I think closer to 30 minutes).
  12. I haven't done many visual 3d printed things for my Edge. But I have modeled and printed things like tool holders, a case for a 12v>5v adapter for a dash cam, tums and ibuprofen holders, cable organizers, etc. Any one else do anything handy? I don't want to take the thread of the person that printed out an aftermarket mic holder. Part of the tool holders for under the cargo floor. flip lug socket holder, flashlight with batteries (not inserted so they don't ruin the flashlight), small tool holder for a flip bit screw driver, 1/4 drive ratchet and extensions), lug nut holder (3 spares): 12v>5v power converter for dash cam: I mostly print craft boxes for electronics that I fiddle with, replacement parts for broken stuff, pots and water catchers for plants, and some ornamental fun stuff.
  13. Nice! I love making parts to fix things or custom mount them with my 3d printer. I just did 8 prototypes to end up with a final fix for a broken tab on my fridge. I try to get where no trimming is needed, but sometimes oversized and trimming is best. I do need to get an enclosed printer to do ABS and/or ASA, as PETG just doesn't cut it in the ambient temps my vehicle is subject to 100+ days of the year.
  14. Glad you got it figured out. I didn't have my Edge with me to check, and I only use the fuel mileage view (unless in sport mode, then tach view) so I am not all that educated in the other views, I have cycled through them hoping for a more useful view like my 2017 Escape had, but it is a compromise with Fuel economy (my wife loves the digital speedo instead).
  15. If you don't care about Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, then probably not worth all the additional changes required to update to SYNC 3. Yes, the screen needs changed to update to SYNC 3 (among quite a few other things). While I love SYNC 3 and Android Auto/Apple CarPlay because I like using the maps from the phone, the streaming music options, and messaging, I also have an older vehicle (2012 Fusion) that has SYNC 1 and I just use Bluetooth for audio on it and my phone in a holder in front of the radio controls, and it works pretty good. When looking for a vehicle and ended up with the 2019 Edge, SYNC 3 (or 4 if I could swing a newer car, I couldn't) was a requirement. I would have entertained a SYNC 2 equipped vehicle but I would have done the DIY gathering of parts and SYNC 3 update. Navigation with up to date maps, current crowd sourced details like traffic, accidents, and debris in the road, I always use navigation even if I have been there a million times, to get ETA, road conditions, need to detour, etc.
  16. The Ford badged engine cover is no longer available, you can get the Lincoln one though. The oil fill and dipstick moved for 2019+ so the older ones are not a direct fit without hacking them up.
  17. I have used the Airlift 1000 kit on a few cars and loved them. They have one for the 2013 Edge. For weight/leveling I install them with a single air valve and fill with a compressor (for a couple of my uses I put one in one side to help with launching at the drag strip). Normally I keep the minimum pressure in them as specified, and when I would go on vacation with trunk load of stuff add more air, I could even change it up when at where vacationing so it didn't have a crazy high rear and headlights pointed to the ground. https://www.airliftcompany.com/vehicles/ford/edge/2013/#l
  18. I wonder if SYNC 3.4.23188 release is the one with the fix. The previous version was terrible, but only sorta had one of the issues listed (blank screen). OTA didn't show this update, but I was able to download it from Ford and install via USB drive, and it fixed the blank screen. I enabled auto updates, and I was getting them via OTA/WiFi updates, but I might disable that since it did get updated to that version automatically and started having issues.
  19. If you live where corrosion is an issue, 10,000 miles (16,000km) early plug change might not be a bad thing, but it likely isn't going to get worse in a few months if it has had 15 years already. I live in the desert, so I don't deal with corrosion very much, so I don't know how bad it would get, probably not bad since the boot and coil cover the spark plug well. I find it hard to justify $400-900 for plugs, because it is pretty easy even on the 3.5, 6 plugs, the upper intake gasket set, and a couple hours of your time (the upper intake is not super easy to take off, but it is designed to be taken off). Easily less than $50 in parts even if you replace the boots as well. I wouldn't leave the same oil in the crank case for 3 years. I would follow the 7,500 miles or 6 months that your scheduled maintenance calls for. I am pretty sure the oil life monitor in my 2012 Fusion (with the same engine) triggered on time and not mileage this year, as I only put 7,000 miles on it this last year. This was my 105,000 mile maintenance pile for my 3.5 powered car (different transmission, different coolant, but AWD also), I think less than $150 and an afternoon because I did some cleaning up as well. Some things were over due, some were not yet due but got them out of the way, mostly the cooling system. I did the PTU a little after, and 3 oil changes, 2 air filters, and 1 cabin filter since.
  20. 1968 Bronco 1970 Bronco 1963 Falcon 1977 Granada 1982 Fairmont 1979 Zephyr 1989 Cougar 1997 Cougar 1997 Mark VIII 1982 F-150 2000 Grand Marquis 2017 Escape 2012 Fusion 2015 Fusion 2019 Edge
  21. What year model and engine? Some years and regional packages have a temperature sender in the PTU and/or RDU. My 2012 Fusion has neither, I think it senses slip in the RDU and throws that message.
  22. So the engine is turning over with the new battery, but it won't fire/start? The battery light will be on if the engine is not running and the alternator is not putting out more than 14v (a battery at rest, even at 13.1 volts if just charged and no loads at all will also mean the light is on).
  23. I like that. I was worried about it traveling forward under the drivers feet, but I don't think it can. I carried this under the rear seat of my Escape, but no room in the Edge. I will see how mine fits, the case is a lot larger. I also need to check how it deals with the seat moving, as I am 6ft tall and my wife is 4ft10 so the seat goes nearly fully forward and 3/4 the way back a few times a week or day. That is where I am at now. But unless it is my wallet or my cell phone, I can't remember to grab it. For longer trips when it might be more handy to have around it could get packed along with everything else. I got one for my daughter and a tire inflator, and it is never in the vehicle when it is needed. Yeah, when someone says that that little box with those little alligator clips won't start my car, I gotta say it does great. Expedition with the 5.4 and a battery reading 7v? No problem! No battery? No problem! I still have one around the house with a lead/acid battery that works well for prototyping things and supplying auto voltage, but it won't boost a battery nearly as well as the new Lithium ones.
  24. That image I posted is from the front. I want to make it somewhat easily accessible with a completely dead battery (as opposed to one that some electronics work but it won't start). I am assuming the rear door is openable if locked but no power simply by pulling the interior pull twice. I will probably test that with no battery connected. In my 2012 Fusion I can store it in the trunk since it has a key to unlatch it (and the trunk is 50 degrees cooler than the passenger space). I was wondering what others do, and I like your setup but I use those pockets and I think the cord would get torn up and bashed by stuff rolling around back there. I do check the charged state on mine and it can go at lest 6 months without dropping a full line (out of 5, so less than 20%), I get 5 decent attempts to start a vehicle with mine from fully charged.
  25. Yes, a Lithium (Lithium Iron I think) battery jump pack to jump start a dead battery. I don't know that I feel spry enough to attempt to reach that far back from the back seat for something. I was thinking more along the lines of on top of or next to the TCU.
