Eric Rainey Posted June 9, 2023 Report Share Posted June 9, 2023 Would anyone know where the perimeter plus module is located on a 2016 edge? I want to adjust the shock sensor part. There is supposed to be a screw where I can adjust the sensitivity. Thanks for the help ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar302 Posted June 9, 2023 Report Share Posted June 9, 2023 The perimeter+ is not installed factory, even though it is an approved Ford part. Do the actual install location might differ. If I recall correctly, the recommended location is strapped to a steel bar that can be accessed behind the left drawer/fuse cover. The one near the driver's left knee. Pull out the drawer and look inside towards the center of the vehicle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Rainey Posted June 9, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2023 Thanks for replying. I've been searching all over for info but can only find posts about ford trucks. I'm guessing that I have the perimeter plus installed because I have the remote start and alarm system from the factory. I'm guessing that it has the shock sensor as well. That's why I wanted to adjust the settings. Maybe the shock sensor part is not installed? I will check the area you mentioned to see if the module is in fact installed. Thanks for your help!

omar302 Posted June 10, 2023 Report Share Posted June 10, 2023 I found the installation manual. The shock sensor adjustment is on the VSS module itself. It also shows where it should be mounted.

Eric Rainey Posted June 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2023 Thanks for the installation info. I have 2 more questions. If I have the remote start and alarm system from the factory, should the shock sensor be part of the as well? I can't find the module that looks like the one in the kit. Do I have to use the software to enable features, or will the car automatically detect its presence? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar302 Posted June 11, 2023 Report Share Posted June 11, 2023 The shock sensor is NOT part of the factory alarm system or remote start. The factory Alarm system only monitors Doors/Liftgate/Hood opening. If a VSS (with the shock sensor) is installed correctly, the vehicle will automatically detect it. The VSS itself can have a small jumper cable installed to disable its security features , the jumper is NOT installed by default.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Rainey Posted June 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2023 Which module do i access in forscan for the alarm system? That's what I needed to hear. I will buy the part and install it myself with all the info you provided me. God bless you and thanks for everything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Rainey Posted July 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 So I bought and installed the shock sensor. It does not want to come alive and work??? Do I need to have it programmed at the ford stealer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
