CatalinaTom Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 I purchased 2012 Edge SEL 5 months ago, love the vehicle, but the hazard lights wont shut off. The Dealer says the replacement module/ switch is discontinued (CT4Z18842BA) there is nothing he could do. Ford does not have a replacement for this part yet. I have read posts on other forums with the same issue, some have had the system flashed? Others have had the newer style electro-mechanical switch installed with positive results. The Capacitive switch module seems to be a problem, thats why Ford is now using the old style mechanical switch on the newer models. The Zone Rep has not called back yet, holding my breath. ha. Has anyone had this same problem? I'm looking for suggestions, other than a $25K boat anchor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazymadman Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 I did I have a 2011 with the captive button. I searched on Ebay and one with the old school. Mind you I have the Ford My touch system I don't know much about the Sony system. It's simple plug and play no trip to the deals hip and my flashers come on when I want them to come on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar302 Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 As far as I know, this part has to be ordered & would not be readily available (a newer version with a physical button, so not the same p/n). You can go used or try LevittownFordSuperCenter to get a new one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macbwt Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Check the scrap yards on line you will most likely be able to find one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z51 LS3 Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 (edited) Unfortunately, this situation is not unique to Ford. Every auto company has similar issues. It's too expensive for them to keep part lines open. This is going to become a bigger issue nationally as we move forward with newer and newer tech oriented vehicles. To give you an example GM mandates parts are available 10 years after last production vehicle. But there are many 97-03 Corvette owners that now have a paper weight because the ABS and steering wheel sensors go out leaving the car inoperable. My hunch is government will step in eventually. Either dictating parts that are inherent to safety systems be stocked for specific time period. Or they remove patent protection and put the information in open source for new parts makers to make.
