caseyk Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 A week ago I had to replace the battery in my edge. Since then every morning when I go to start the car, it starts, but it won't shift out of park, and the anti lock light comes on. Also, the break lights won't work. If I wait a while and try again it works just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 If the brake lights don't work then it won't shift out of park. Check the sensor behind the brake pedal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 (edited) Are all the brake lights inoperative or just the high mount or ? Can you shift into neutral without the Edge started? If so, do that, then start the Edge and try shifting into another gear (reverse/drive etc.). Could be the Transmission Range sensor. Could also be a fuse for the stoplamp switch (#71, 10A I think), or compromised wiring on that fuse. You have to be careful not to press/pull/touch the brake pedal during the stoplamp switch replacement procedure also. To quote the service manual: Normal Operation The stoplamp switch is supplied voltage through circuit SBB71 (WH/RD) from the battery junction box (BJB). When the brake pedal is applied, the stoplamp switch routes voltage to the smart junction box (SJB) and the high mounted stoplamp through circuit CCB08 (VT/WH). Installation CAUTION: It is very important to not press, pull or touch the brake pedal assembly during the installation of the stoplamp switch. Failure to follow these instructions may damage the stoplamp switch. Exactly what problem did you have that required battery replacement? Was it leaking badly?
