Just installed the replacement relay cube and that did the trick. The fog light on the same side ended up just being a little loose in the connection...

I did order the projector retrofit kit from TRS and a few other build materials as well...was able to find a cheap, new set of headlights off eBay so if everything comes in by next week, I'm hoping to have the new headlights completed by end of October.

Also been thinking about doing a projector retrofit for "fun" if I can find a spare set of 2007-2010 headlights for a decent price...anyone know of a good connection? I've obviously checked out eBay and places like that...nothing looks too good yet. Trying to find a good fall project.

So I checked out the fuses and they were both good...replaced them both just for good measure. The driver's fog light seemed to pop on consistently so hopefully that stays true...if it does, then I'm leaning towards the HD relay fixing the driver's low beam issue. If fog light goes out again, I'm back to having no clue...

I've been messing around with a lighting issue on the Edge now for about a week...my driver's low beam is not working (I have HIDs btw) and the passenger's side runs fine. I have a HD relay that has passenger running off of that, Driver's side is coming directly from stock power and relay. Early last week, I cleaned all connections and that seemed to help for about a day, then it was back to the same old issue. I have to try to fire the lights about 5-7 times before the driver's side finally comes on. BTW, I've replaced driver's side ballast with brand new and also switched bulb from other side. TRS is sending a new HD relay to see if that helps (I doubt it).

Since then, I noticed 2 days ago that now the driver's side fog light is out (passenger still works). I'm going to check that today but there's no way that it's burnt out...It's an LED setup that only 1 year old...

So does anyone have any ideas? I'm about to check the fuses but to my knowledge, there aren't separate fuses for the left and right side so I'm stumped...any help is appreciated.

Possible they replaced the fuel pump in yours? Didn't in mine.

I'm not quite sure...all it said on the work report sheet was that the recall was done...I have to go back in once the parts are ready for the airbag recall, so I can ask some more questions at that time. Everything is running smooth, as it was before the recall, so I can't really elaborate more on it.

Got the Edge back from the gas tank recall. Everything seems good. Didn't have an issue before so no difference that I can report...did notice that after a complete fill-up, there was a message that "calibration complete"...I'm guessing that has to deal with the fuel level sensor? I didn't get to speak with my service rep when I picked it up so I wasn't told anything. But all went well so no complaints.

Just got the call that the parts associated with gas tank recall are in at the dealer...scheduled service for next week (was told it takes about half a day), will update once I get the Edge back and can take a look at the work!

Had the rotors and pads replaced yesterday, which was much needed. Also had brake fluid flushed as I'm sure it hadn't been done in a very long time...also had Ford inspect for gas tank recall since I have an '08. The service rep told me that in Ohio, they have been instructed to now replace any tanks (and assoc. parts) since the parts are now more abundant. So the parts should be at dealer in a few days and then I'll drop off for install...I haven't had any problems but I'm not going to turn down a free, brand-new replacement on a car that's 8 years old ha

I would definitely check for trapped water. I heard the same thing in my '08 near the front end. Almost sounded like sand/water. Ended up having a clogged drain and I then needed to replaced A/C fan.

Finally got the TPMS reset! I found a tip on a F150 forum that stated when you switch between wheels after awhile, that the battery in other sensors may go into "hibernation". So I followed steps to wake them up haha so here they are...

-Fill tires up to recommended pressure

-Release pressure in all tires to 15-20 psi lower than recommended (I went from 35 to 20 psi)

-Wait minimum 5 minutes before refilling back up to recommended psi

-Train tires using key cycle and brake pedal method w/ learning tool (I placed learning tool directly below valve stem and had to move it around a couple inches)

Worked perfectly and now no more light or annoying noise for me! Hope this may helps others down the road.

Have the same problem on mine. Stumped dealership and my fav service shop. They both say the batteries are fine, they relearned them with no problems etc etc etc. I keep thinking the spare tire could be an issue, but haven't tested that theory yet. Unless the TPMS module itself is to blame, maybe?

Well it's good to know I'm not the only one with this issue...I've read it comes and goes for others but mine is constant. I'm just confused as to why it was fine for 2 days of city driving and then decided to come on randomly...I may have NTB run a sensor check (just to see if they respond back) when they do the final alignment on the wheels. I'll update with my answer, may not be till this weekend or so.

I've also heard some say that TPMS sensors can go bad around 100k but these are sensors installed in wheels just over a year ago so they shouldn't be bad already. I guess we'll see....I don't mind the light, I just hate that annoying chirp at startup

I did some research and I'm stumped. I'm not getting a low pressure warning but instead a " Tire Pressure Monitor Fault" but when I read the codes, none showed up. So I'm confused as to why no codes were thrown if the TPMS system and sensors are linked at all...

How did the studs break? Were the winter wheels not sitting right? Better make sure the KMCs are torqued properly! Ugh.

Not exactly sure...seems to be a mixture of rust and salt from winter and also a possible over-torque from a shop when rotating wheels. It's all good now. Local mechanic saved me a few hundred bucks off of NTB quote and I was able to get outer tie rods done at the same time. Everything is running smooth now.

Except, now the TPMS light is on...no code is thrown so that threw me off...and I've tried the brake pedal and hazard light method to try to initiate reset method. Anyone rest TPMS sensors on an 08?

Changed to the summer wheels today and had new tires put on them. Unfortunately noticed that I had one broken stud on both front wheels so now I need new hub bearings....At least I can now have tie rods replaced while they're at it!

Where did you get the bumper protector from?

I purchased it from Benny @ Levittown Super Center on this forum. I was purchasing a new console lid anyways so I decided to go for it.

Car looks great! I saw the satin white pearl wrap on a car at Cleveland Auto Show last year and I loved it. I would get my Edge wrapped if it wasn't going to be gone in a few years....if you don't mind me asking, how much did it set you back?

This weekend I washed the Edge, installed rear bumper protector, switched from tan center console lid to black (to match dash paint job) and installed a custom tune from Torrie! All while also cleaning out the garage and getting a round of golf in...it was a good weekend.

Yeah I knew you waste a lot...I know how to take the whole center panel off, just didn't want to experiment with trying to pry the silver panel off (I hate breaking clips!)...another member on here was experimenting with the same thing so I'll see where we get with it.

Thanks for the advice.

Nick,

I have admired that work you did in your new Edge. It looks great! Did you get pre-cut pieces are just start with a sheet? Part of my issue is also that I'd like to remove the paint from the shifter panel and wrap that as well...but then you get more complicated with wrapping the cupholders...

Another option is to get secondary pieces sent to your AZ guy. He wraps them and sends them to you. Install and sell original equipment on EBay.....

 

Or something like that.

I could try that....the original problem is I'm unsure of how to remove the center silver part of the stereo dash (and there doesn't seem to be an answer online either) as we have discussed this in another thread as well...If I could remove that easily, then I would have no hesitation to take on the wrap job myself. I honestly may ask the audio techs at Best Buy (they have done a stereo install for me before) if they know of any method to easily remove that trim...I plan on getting a NAV/audio upgrade done in the Edge at BB in a month or so, so maybe they will feel inclined to help me out.

Silver part I'm talking about is the one in the attached picture.

If anyone knows how to remove, please give any advice

Well, I got the bezel off. But, the silver is a thin metal that wraps around. I didn't pull the metal back and look at the underneath. Just FYI.

Cool, thanks. Haven't heard back yet on my inquiry...if you mess around with it more and figure anything out, please let me know.

I'm wondering if there is a forum member in the Cleveland, OH area that is experienced with vinyl wrap...I've been trying to find companies that will wrap my stereo dash and plastic trim by the shifter but they all want to do a bigger job. I'm not confident enough to take this task on and unfortunately the only person I trust to do it is in AZ so I'm out of luck...

If anyone would be interested (or knows anyone who could do it), send me a message. I would provide the wrap and would pay for your time.

Thanks

Old post, just hoping someone had figured out how to get the silver panel off without taking the whole thing off?

I haven't heard anything or seen any videos on it...going to ask my buddies in the auto body/audio industry to see if maybe any of them know...I'll let you know if I find something

How hard is the install and ease of changing settings/turning off?
