It took me several tries, but I finally got a new Fob programmed for my 2015 Edge. Thanks to the above exchanges I was able to learn from their wisdom and errors. I followed the instructions on page 72 of the owners manual as recommend above. After several failures I reread the instructions. If the paragraph before the 7 programing steps it says that all 7 steps must be completed within 30 second. Doing those 7 steps with in 30 seconds was the key to my success. That worked on the first try. All the functions on the new Fob work properly except the remote starting. I seldom use that function, so that is not important to me for a safety backup Fob. You have to do the 7 steps crazy fast to get it done within 30seconds. I had to use a timer to check how fast I was doing it. I can't imagine why they designed it like that. I would like to have a chat with the engineer that though the 30 second time limit was a good idea. I purchased the new Fob on Amazon. It is a NPAUTO Key Fob Replacement. It cost $48.74 with tax. It had the highest rating of all the different aftermarket fobs offered. It showed 11 satisfied customers, with all 4 and 5 star ratings. I will give it a 4 star rating because the remote start feature does not work. I have a question about the insulator between the two batteries in the Fob. I took it out of two of the three Fobs that I now have but left it in the third Fob. They all seem to work regardless of whether the paper insulator is between the batteries or not. What do you know about the insulator? The new one I got had a thin plastic washer between the batteries as an insulator. Any thoughts?
