Ok, so I got this working on my 2011 Edge which was having the problem where the front DRIVERS side always indicated that it was open. The magnetic switch idea is brilliant! Some thoughts: 1. I was NOT able to track down the green/violet wire (the one for front Driver's side) under the door sill plate grouping of wires. I found "A" 22 gauge green/violet wire and connected it to ground to test, and I THINK that is the one that blew fuse 32, which, as far as the Ford owner manual says, controls the "power windows, moon roof...", but really only covered the DRIVERS side window and moonroof. That being said, I was a little careless and tried a few different wires that looked kinda like green/violet, so it may have been another one that blew that fuse. 2. Since the above didn't work, I had to get to the wire in question from the connector that plugs in above the fuse panel, right above where fuse 1 is. THIS IS NOT EASY. Very hard to reach up there, and there is no slack on the connector once you get it disconnected. Sure enough it was green/violet stripe. I used a connector that has a tap on it and after several tries was finally able to origami myself enough to get my hands up there and tap the wire. How did you guys who have done this hack do it??? It was close to impossible to work on the wire that far up under the dash. Anyway, I am happy to report that this did the trick. Problem solved. But again, how did those who have done it, do it???
