jburd704 Posted November 8, 2022 Report Share Posted November 8, 2022 I have been having this alert come up for about the last month and it goes away after a bit. I checked the voltage while it was idling(14.1v) and the battery is a 1 year old Interstate AGM battery. I figured it was nothing since everything checked okay and we continued driving the vehicle. Last night my wife called broken down on the roadside and it wouldn’t crank back up. Left overnight and went back today and it cranked right up and drove home. Appreciate any help on this.

Perblue Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 It's possible your alternator is wearing out and occasionally putting out less. You may also have a bad or loose ground somewhere intermittently not making enough contact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin400 Posted November 13, 2022 Report Share Posted November 13, 2022 Same issue on mine a while back. It worked fine for a while just the occasional chime to check charging system and then it became more frequent. Mechanic didn’t want to replace it because the alternator tested fine on diagnostics. I ended up saying I’d eat the cost even if it didn’t fix it. Replaced and the alert went away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same issue, also breakdown. Dealer has been working on it for a month with no progress. 3 alternators, 1 pigtail, 1 PCM module. Ford corporate involved. Dealer cannot diagnose? Check charging system warning light followed by battery light. 2013 Edge 3.5 Self test alternator 14.6v, battery good Dealer replaced alternator 3 times Dealer replacement of pigtail Dealer replacement of PCM NO SOLUTION, a month of repairs. Ford Customer Relations involved. Any similar experiences with solution? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t get one of these anywhere as they are on back order. We replaced everything as well and still had the issue. We were able to figure it out by testing some of the fuses under the hood and speaking to a Ford mechanic. If anyone can find one that is compatible with my 2014 Edge SEL I would greatly appreciate it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haz Posted February 13, 2023 Report Share Posted February 13, 2023 (edited) Welcome to the Forum! Document download links> Body Control Module (BCM) - Diagnosis and Testing - 2014 Edge Workshop Manual.pdf Body Control Module (BCM) - Removal and Installation - 2014 Edge Workshop Manual.pdf If your Edge is disabled and you need to get it back on the road, locating an A-graded used Body Control Module (BCM) from a local Salvage Yard at 25%-to-50% of the new part cost using the Car-Part.com search engine may be worthwhile... Good luck! Edited February 13, 2023 by Haz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
