matifjamil Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 I own a Ford Edge 2008 LIMITED EDITION, GCC specs. ( I know little in depth details of vehicle as I am a Med Doc by profession, so kindly guide me simple ). The AC stopped cooling occasioanally and On Observing the temperature gauge I used to observe the Car used to heat up when idle or in low gears. I got the radiator serviced, the radiator cap replaced. Problem persisted got the AC fan relay ( plus Radiator fans replaced ). Things stayed good for 1 year. After one year same problem recurred. The electrical wire going to AC FAN relay was burned. I have been told whole of wiring comes in complete set so may have to be replaced. Will this help? And what is approximate estimate of the electrical wires replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulSchott Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 I'm assuming that it burned close to the connection point on the fan control (relay) . If that is the case the connection was probably poor and overheated the wire. You may be able to replace the connector and just the burnt end of the wire without replacing the whole harness. The connector on the control will need to be checked to see if that is the area of high resistance. If it is burnt I would suggest replacing this unit or it will just happen again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matifjamil Posted August 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Thanks a lot, yes it was only the connector that burned but I replaced only the connector, but it worked well for 2 weeks and again same problem Occured. I guess the resistance of wire as u mentioned may be high causing it to burn again. I just got appointment for the FORD people. Lets c what happens. Regarding Harness if it has to be replaced as a whole is it a very long procedure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulSchott Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 I'm not sure but it will be expensive @ $100/hr. labor. I would think they could do surgery and just replace the last 10" of wire that has been burnt. Remember the problem could be the connector on the relay itself. Good luck Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
