Interesting. I pulled out two 2025's out of each fob. And replaced them with 2025's. One went easy, and the batteries fit right in. The other one did have a little trouble holding the top battery, but both fobs work just fine now. Maybe the 2016 used the 2025?? I don't know, but they both work now.

I got a message today, after my Edge wouldn't remote start, that the battery in the fob was low. Yeah, so low, it wouldn't remote start. I could still unlock the door though. Got the other fob, and as I figured, it was dead also. Luckily, I had some CR-2025 batteries at the house. Of course I didn't know that each fob took two batteries. Dang. And man, getting the cover off was a test of patience. If I had to get to the emergency key for something real, I think I might have broken the thing. After it broke my fingernails!! Anyway, I finally got them apart, changed the batteries, and all is good. Now to get the second TPMS sensor replaced. It's close to oil change time, so I might just wait until that comes up, or just get the oil change done a little early, and have the TPMS done at the same time. It's all good!

If it is inherited, that would mean it did not cost you anything other than inheritance and registration taxes and such. I have a 2016 with the 2L engine. I don't know if it's the same run as the 2018's, but I got mine a couple of years ago, and it now has just shy of 100K on it. So far it has been no problem at all. I don't drive it a lot, but my son drove it quite a bit for a while until he got his new car. You read about the issues with it, but you didn't read all the thousands of others who didn't have any problems, because people usually don't post until they have a problem. Sure it could drop on you at any time, but that could be said of any car. Since it cost you very little to get, if it did that, you stand to lose very little. If you like the car otherwise, I would say keep it and maintain it, and enjoy it. Good luck! Oh, and welcome to the forum!

Well my question would be, why do you still have it? It seems like it's been nothing but trouble and a money pit. Is there any reason you are keeping it?

Sheesh, there must be something in the air. Or there is a big jinx going on somewhere. I drove my Edge for the first time in a few days, and I'll be danged if the rear-view camera didn't give me problems. Backing out of a parking space, it was kinda black and skewed, and wavery image. I was like, no way. When I got home, I tried it again before I went in the house, and the image was mostly good, but kinda pixelated and distorted. Man, I couldn't believe it. I'll keep an eye on it and see what happens next time I drive it. I don't drive it often, but when I do, I expect things to work. I also have the extended warranty, but since this is under recall,, with no fix, warranty is N/A. This time.

I have not had any issue yet in my 2016 Edge, or my 2023 Explorer, but when I had my 2019 SuperDuty, I had to replace the front camera. The rear was fine before I traded it in, so I don't know if it ever failed or not. It was under recall, but when I traded it, it was still "awaiting parts". I bought the front camera from an online Ford dealer for a great price, and changed it myself. Took about an hour and all was well. My Edge is under recall for the camera, (guess what...parts unavailable at this time".) The Explorer has no recalls at the moment.

Man, these rear-view camera issues have been going on for years. Why can't Ford get it right? You'd figure after this long, they would have it figured out.

Very cool. Thanks for getting back and posting the fix.

Not necessarily. Though it might not be called Edge, it is certainly in the realm of possibility to bring it back under a new name. Who knows??

Boy, the more technologically advanced we get, the stupider technology seems to become. I simply do not have the patience to go to that much trouble to make my music play in the intended order. It is insanely crazy that something so seemingly simple seems to be impossible to accomplish. Bring back the 8 track tape baby!

Well, I hope we didn't scare Patrick off. I'm curious to see what he is referring to.

Welcome to the forum Patrick J. First, in case you didn't notice, you are replying to a post from 13 years ago. Second, a picture is worth a thousand words. If you can provide some pictures of what you are asking about, it would be really helpful. Finally, please provide information about your car...year, trim, etc. The more info you provide, the better people will be able to help you.

Awesome. Glad you got it fixed. And thanks for posting up the fix also. It may help someone in the future.

I bought a 2016 Titanium a couple of years ago, with around 60K I think. I don't put a lot of miles on it, but my son drove it for a while when his car tanked on him, until he got a new one. He put quite a few miles on it. It now has 95K or so, and I have not had any issues with it. I did have to replace a TPMS sensor just recently, but otherwise, routine maintenance. Again, I don't drive it heavily, since I am retired, and it's just me and my wife, and we have another car also. But I have had nothing bad to say so far.

Just out of curiosity, what were the bugs? Seems kinda strange that all would be well if there were bugs in the load.
