Hello from Pennsylvania

Thanks @Haz!

I searched around, but I was unable to find a wiring diagram for the connectors that go to the DDM and PDM. I am specifically searching for a power source to tap into.

We need more laws to help keep consumer's data private. We need to block advertisements so that there is no point in collecting data to target ads.

I have an SEL and I have thought about upgrading my tail lights. The problem is that the cost of parts are too high. I am seeing about $200 to $300 USD for one tail light, and all 4 tail lights would need to be replaced to complete the full upgrade. Almost $1,000 USD for 4 used tail lights. But in terms of wiring and programming the lights, that is definitely doable. What I really want to see is someone try to fit the 2015-2018 tail lights into a 2019-2024. I think it would be nice to have a line of red leds across the back.

It isn’t too terrible to remove the front bumper cover. I would recommend using a power tool to unscrew the small bolts on the bottom and wheel well area. Don’t remove the wheel well cover. Instead, remove the headlights as shown in the video to get to the three silver bolts.

Welcome to the forums @BamaInArk Attached you will find a Youtube video and other information on removing the front bumper to access the fog lights. https://youtu.be/4ZjwjQ5wTEE?si=s8BYQ6mhI80Soz6- https://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/33062-general-service-bulletin-24-7068-various-vehicles-exterior-lighting-concern-analysis/ BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) - Connector C2280B Details - 2019 Edge.pdf FOG LAMP, LEFT FRONT - Connector C152 Details - 2019 Edge.pdf FOG LAMP, RIGHT FRONT - Connector C162 Details - 2019 Edge.pdf Fog Lamps - Diagnosis and Testing - 2019 Edge Workshop Manual.pdf Fog Lamps Power Circuit - Pins 15 (LH) & 16 (RH) of Inline Connector C140 - 2019 Edge.pdf Fog Lamps Wiring Diagram -2019 Edge.pdf Front Bumper Cover - Disassembly and Assembly - 2019 Edge Workshop Manual.pdf Front End Ground Circuits, Including Fog Lamps Ground - Wiring Diagram - 2019 Edge.pdf Front Bumper Cover - Removal and Installation - 2019 Edge Workshop Manual.pdf

I wonder if the GM 9T50 gets the same complaints from: 2020– Cadillac XT6 (2.0 T LSY, 3.6 L LGX) 2019– Chevrolet Blazer (2.5 L LCV)[11] 2017– Chevrolet Malibu (2.0 T LTG) 2020– GMC Acadia (2.5 L LCV)[10]

Text sourced from @Haz Field Effect Transistor (FET) Protection The BCM utilizes an Field Effect Transistor (FET) protective circuit strategy for many of its outputs, for example, lamp output circuits. Output loads (current level) are monitored for excessive current (typically short circuits) and are shut down (turns off the voltage or ground provided by the module) when a fault event is detected. A Field Effect Transistor (FET) is a type of transistor that the control module software uses to control and monitor current flow on module outputs. The Field Effect Transistor (FET) protection strategy prevents module damage in the event of excessive current flow. Output loads (current level) are monitored for excessive current draw (typically short circuits). When a fault event is detected the Field Effect Transistor (FET) turns off and a short circuit DTC sets. The module resets the Field Effect Transistor (FET) protection and allows the circuit to function when the fault is corrected or the ignition state is cycled off and then back on. When the excessive circuit load occurs often enough, the module shuts down the output until a repair procedure is carried out. Each Field Effect Transistor (FET) protected circuit has three predefined levels of short circuit tolerance based on a module lifetime level of fault events based upon the durability of the Field Effect Transistor (FET). If the total tolerance level is determined to be 600 fault events, the three predefined levels would be 200, 400 and 600 fault events. When each level is reached, the DTC associated with the short circuit sets along with DTC U1000:00. These Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) can be cleared using the module on-demand self-test, then theClear DTC operation on the scan tool (if the on-demand test shows the fault corrected). The module never resets the fault event counter to zero and continues to advance the fault event counter as short circuit fault events occur. If the number of short circuit fault events reach the third level, then Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) U1000:00 and U3000:49 set along with the associated short circuit DTC . DTC U3000:49 cannot be cleared and the module must be replaced after the repair.

Have you tried to test the connection with a multimeter to see if there is voltage to the turn signal?

If the front turn signal is working, then there should be no problem with the front turn signal bulb. The bulb has two filaments, a bright turn signal and dim marker light. The marker light is most likely disabled and not used.

The front turn signals are dual filament halogen bulbs. Have you looked at them? Is your turn signal still blinking fast? Also, I think the bulb outage detection works independently for each turn signal, because one time my front headlight was unplugged, so the front turn signal didn’t work. The IPC flashed the turn signal fast, yet the rear turn signal worked at normal speed.

No side sensing system or active park assist. 😡 The connected vehicle modems reported that no one used active park assist, so Ford is going to get rid of it to save about $60 per vehicle, or $10 million a year. These Lincolns are already expensive enough, so why not keep active park assist for the Lincoln Black Label trims?

Thanks for sharing the solution @BMWR1200c. When you disable auto start stop with FORScan, doesn’t this also mean that the BMS is disabled, too? Could the BMS being disabled shorten the lifespan of the battery?

I added puddle lights to mine. Does your titanium already have puddle lights? I think that logo projectors and black emblems would look nice. Another option could be installing the projector on the bottom of the door.

Good idea if you are still under warranty!

There are companies out there that sell SYNC 3 to SYNC 4 upgrade kits. Some kits use the existing 8" screen, while other kits replace both the screen and APIM. I haven't found any Edge specific kits. The basic idea is to replace the APIM and touchscreen. https://www.fordsync4.com/ https://infotainment.com/

You might need to scroll through the up and down arrows until you can find the auto start stop screen. If I remember correctly it will say “engine on normal operation” when driving. It will also include messages like auto start stop disabled due to steering maneuver.

In the IPC, if you go to the fuel economy section it will tell you why auto start stop is off. I have a 2021 with 68k miles, and my auto start stop hasn’t worked for a while. I always get the message “engine on due to battery charging”. I will have to check my BAT_ST_CHRG % to see what mine says. After going on the highway for 8 hours, my auto start stop worked again for a few days, then it went back to not working. Technically you are only supposed to reset the BMS when the battery gets replaced. I reset my BMS anyway without replacing the battery and it didn’t seem to have an effect. I don’t think it will matter anyway because if the car is locked and it goes to sleep for a while, the BMS will relearn on its own.

My 2021 has the large screen. The bottom part of the screen gets taken up by the climate control and menu. The climate control menu takes a little while to get used to because there are no physical buttons. Having a screen makes it cheaper and easier for Ford than installing physical buttons. I get a nice and large Carplay screen. The reverse camera quality looks crystal clear, and it is especially helpful at night.

I am considering adding the paddles, and I might as well try heated steering wheel too. Just need to find the parts at the right price.

Thanks for the service bulletin information. I don't think I have any warranty left. It is a 2021 with 68,000 miles. Right now the condensation went away. I have never seen condensation in any of my other lights. It just occasionally happens to that one. I will have to keep watching it and see what happens.

I agree, I think drilling a hole would be a last resort situation. Cosmetically, I think it will be fine. I just worry that the moisture could damage the LEDs.

I occasionally get moisture inside of my passenger side inner tail light. This tail light only has reverse LEDs. I have read the other posts about moisture in the 2015-2018 tail lights, but I haven’t heard of 2019-2024 condensation. Has anyone experienced condensation like this? Should I try to take apart the tail light to get rid of the moisture before my LEDs get killed? The tail light prices seem expensive. $200-400 USD.
