sillyjt Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Just got an 08Edge. Limited. Awd. Seems odd to me that the steering wheel controls don't light up in the dark. And also the shifter position does not have lights either. Is this the way it is supposed to be or do i have to investigate further. All the rest if my Ford vehicles light up those things. Thanks for any input Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOEHIO Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 I think that you should investigate further. The steering wheel controls and shift indicator light up on my MKX. I could POSSIBLY see steering wheel controls not being illuminated, but not the shift indicator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egar Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 For my 2012 Edge Limited, the controls on the steering wheel light up and so does the shift indicator. Sounds like you might have a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sillyjt Posted November 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Thanks for the replies. Will check the fuse box. I saw two for instrument cluster. Hope it's easy as that lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sillyjt Posted November 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Any one know which fuse control those lights. That fuse panel is a pain for a fat man lol. I checked instrument cluster which there were two. Radio which were two. Then had to get going. Would be great if someone knew which one off hand.

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 You can lookup the info in the Owners Manual and see if that helps. http://www.motorcraftservice.com/pubs/content/~WO8EDG/~MUS~LEN/40/08edgog1e.pdf That is the 2008 manual. Starting on pg 256, the fuses and what they control are listed. http://www.motorcraftservice.com/pubs/content/~WOBEDG/~MUS~LEN/40/11edgog2e.pdf That is the 2011 manual. Starting on pg 283, the fuses and what they control are listed. HTH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sillyjt Posted November 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 I did look the manual over.pulled and checked the fuses i thought might be linked to those systems. Will get back under there later today and post anything i find. That fuse panel is a pain. Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Snippe Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 My 08 Edge has the same problem. Did you ever find a solution? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabang Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 My shifter lights up, and I have an 08. The little knob next to the headlight switch that "scrolls" vertically to dim or brighten the interior lights might be down all the way, which I prefer mine set at. If you turn it up, the gear shift lights should brighten. I'm not sure if the steering wheel controls illuminate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombiebrittany Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 Also check your fuses. That's what my problem was. Do you remember which fuse/fuses it was, off hand? I'm having the same issue... Just noticed this yesterday. My dimmer switch is as far up as it will go without the overhead lamp coming on. My dash lights are bright as can be, but my steering wheel controls and gear shift panel do not light up, whatsoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chipworkz Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 geno22c, this was an old thread and I don't know what year Edge you have but for the 2011+ the fuse is F12, not F9. It is also a 15A fuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sillyjt Posted December 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 I replaced both fuses on my 08. No difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
