2nd Time Owner Posted June 10 Report Share Posted June 10 I went from a '19 Edge to a '22 Edge Titanium. My '22 Edge is missing 2 things that the older one had. The biggest thing missing is being able to lock and unlock the car from the back doors, I really miss that. I can't figure why they would take that away. A small thing that is different, but I still miss it is the center council doesn't have 2 buttons and tray isn't hinged. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edjunior Posted August 1 Report Share Posted August 1 Huh. I never really thought about it, but yeah, I can see myself missing that also. I use the rear door lock probably as much or more than I use the front door lock. It is interesting though that my '23 Explorer still has the rear door locks. Or maybe they're back on there. Hmm, dunno. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted September 29 Report Share Posted September 29 Never had it, never missed it. Just use the remote to lock/unlock the 4 doors. Haven't use a key to lock/unlock doors in ........ like never. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wubster100 Posted September 29 Report Share Posted September 29 I like to use the feature when my pockets or hands are full. It’s quick and convenient to just pinch the door handle to lock the car instead of getting the key fob out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabangsta Posted September 29 Report Share Posted September 29 90% of the time I lock or unlock my 2019 from the rear door proximity/handle touch. As a few others have reported, eventually the rear doors stop working (and passenger front), I can't follow the pattern, but it is annoying (other suspect it might be related to battery SoC/health). Generally the first and last place I access is the back seat. To get my stuff I put on the rear passenger area floor, assist toddlers or elders from the back seat, or on my way to or from the cargo area. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wubster100 Posted September 30 Report Share Posted September 30 It is due to the battery SoC/health. But I don't want to replace my battery yet because the car still starts up every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proximity lock/unlock on years that have it at all 4 doors appear to have it stop working for all doors but the drivers front door. It seems like maybe it is related to battery health. For me it seems to stop working when the vehicle is sitting, and frequently opened and closed and locked and unlocked (like unloading at public parking lot that is far away from where you taking things to, so unlock, grabs some stuff, close and lock it, then make multiple return trips like this). I am in the same boat, no other indications of a weak battery, so no reason for me to change it yet (car battery, not battery in fob I don't think, equally affects both fobs at the same time). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like maybe it is related to battery health. That is correct. It is part of the battery load shedding. All proximity lock/unlock will not work except for the driver’s door.

edgeidiot Posted October 2 Report Share Posted October 2 I have been experiencing this since purchasing my 2020 Edge which was brand new. I have had my batteries and charging system checked and both passed. The other thing that you should be experiencing is the stop start function will not operate. I am not sure what the sweet spot is, but my problem is that I do not drive enough. I have had to buy a Battery Tender to recharge the battery when the door situation occurs. I know that there are two different alternators available for the Edge. There is a 175 amp and 200 amp alternator available. I am not sure if the 200 amp alternator were installed (and I am sure that I have the 175 amp), if it would make any difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted October 2 Report Share Posted October 2 I have had my batteries and charging system checked and both passed. All too often dealers and mechanics check the battery by just checking the voltage. A battery at rest can show 12½ volts, but drops dramatically when a load is applied. The proper method to use when checking a battery is to check its actual capacity; the CCA rating. A battery check can show 12½ volts but have only 40% backup capacity, which means that as soon as you crank the engine, there's no reserve left for the other loads; and the voltage drops.
