All:
Been around here for a while, lurking, but just joined today -- I've got some electrical issues on my wife's 08 Edge Limited that I can't get sorted out.
Sync, Power Hatch, no Nav, dealer installed Ford remote start module.
About three weeks ago, on a Sunday morning, the wife and I went out on our daily errands, and took the Edge. She drove, as I was busy moving cars around so that she could get the Edge out of the driveway -- I didn't hear it start. I did notice that the passenger side map light was on when I got in the car, and mentioned something to the effect of "leaving lights on in your car all night is a good way to get a dead battery..." Fast forward an hour or so later, we're leaving our first stop, and I'm driving now -- when I start the Edge it is labored, like it's got a dead battery... But it eventually fires off and we move on our way. One more stop, this time I remote stop, so I don't get to listen to when the car starts, but it was running when I came outside.
On our last stop, when we come out of Fry's, the battery is dead, car just clicks when you turn the key. Pop the hood, and see a substantial amount of corrosion on the terminals. Go grab a wire brush and jump box from the install bay @ Fry's and clean the terminals/jump the car. Drive immediately to get a new battery, as the batter checker shows this one is shot. Throw a new battery in, and all is well.
Or so I thought.
Fast forward a week, I'm out of town on business travel and get at text from my wife that the Edge is stone dead. She hadn't driven it in ~3 days, and it won't do anything. My dad comes over to bring her our spare car, and jump off the Edge. He drives the Edge back to his place with no issues, and puts the battery on charge. Yesterday, we got to take a look at it.
I hooked up my DMM in series with the battery clamp, and shut all the doors and let the car sit for half an hour. With everything resting, I've got a 0.68 amp draw. I started pulling and replacing fuses, and cannot seem to isolate what circuit the draw is on. I pulled the factory remote start, no change. Pulled all the fuses in the drivers kickpanel, as well as those under the hood.
Has anyone experienced similar drain issues on their Edge?
Thanks in advance.
