This may sound dumb, but does it power up in your friend's Expy? If not, then check the cig lighter fuse.
If the fuse is good, check the port for loose pins/connection. Might even try lightly wiggling it (BUT NOT DURING PROGRAMMING).
Also make sure the battery is rock solid. Putting a battery tender or low amp charger would help eliminate the battery as a culprit.
If the fuse is good, port looks good, and the battery is good, and there a specific error message, I would photograph the message and send it to Edge tech support.

We plugged it in and it says reading vin. Then says turn key on and press any button to continue. Then says reading vin once again an then cannot read vin, then edge has encountered an error please unplug and try again and its the same result every time but it works no problem on my 02 f150.
The only problem we can figure is he had a cortex on it before an it didnt completely remove it from the pcm an thats why it wont read the vin.
Can this be the problem to the issue?

Contact edge.
Or.
Have the vehicle reflashed at the dealer.
Or.
Try to use the old programmer to set back to stock if its available.
