Baileyjack Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 Hi all! My new to me 07 Edge SEL is a great CUV and i love it to pieces, but the one thing annoying me is, When i turn on the air conditioning i get white powder coming out of the vents. At first i thought maybe the dealer put air fresherner in the vents but i'm still getting it. I've been told my ac drain hole is plugged, but not sure how to go about unplugging it? Any help would be greatly appreciated Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnemyAce Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 You may have gotten one of the Edges that rolled off the assembly line in Columbia. Definitely a dealer issue, it's usually a bad idea to attempt any sort of self service on the AC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baileyjack Posted August 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Well the Edge was at the dealers a little over a week ago for the white particle issue. They did everything according to the TSB posted by Gary F and it's back again, i got roughly 2 days with nothing blowing out of the vents. It cost me $100 and wasn't covered by warranty because no parts were replaced. Labor was 1.4 hrs so i'm thinking i still got a deal as they only charged me what my deductable would have been Stopped by the dealer today and the mechanic is calling the Ford help desk to find out what to do next. I'm thinking it's time to replace parts. This is not a new issue and i would think after 3 years they'd know what to do........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baileyjack Posted September 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 So i finally heard from the Ford dealer today and seems after they confirm the white powder is still coming out the vents they will proceed to change the evaporater which mean the Edge will be in the shop for 2 days as i'm told it's a big job..... :yup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baileyjack Posted September 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Well i'm very glad i bought the extended warranty, was told the job cost Ford $4000. They had the dashboard, console and seats out of the Edge and what i thought was a little canister was actually the whole apparatus behind the dash. 4 days now and no more white powder..... :happy feet: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
