ravishingrocket Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Where does this light go? I think it goes to the gear selection since they no longer light up, but I cant find where this light plugs in at. Looks like it shoud slide into something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravishingrocket Posted June 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 No one knows if the gear letters should be lit up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teknowiz Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 See if link below helps, it was for older model but hopefully most of the details still apply to the newer models. http://www.justanswer.com/ford/33558-replace-lamp-gear-shifter-ford-edge.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cellbine Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 I don't remember if my drive letters light up in the center console area, I'll check later. Are you sure that's not for your cup holder ambient lighting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWizard Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 Yes, the shifter is illuminated but no, that isn't the wire for it. The shifter illumination has a purple/gray power wire and a black/gray ground wire. The only blue wire I could find in the console is for the ambient lighting but that would be combined with orange, green, and brown wires for the cupholder illumination.

ravishingrocket Posted June 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 I dont have ambient lighting, so i wonder where this goes or if i have another bulb loose in there. How do i remove the shifter boot so i can remove the cupholder console section? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWizard Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 You don't remove the shifter boot to remove the panel... it's actually the other way around - you remove the panel to get to the shifter boot. 1. Remove the two side trim pieces that go alongside the cupholder panel and up the sides of the center stack. 2. Put the shifter in neutral (parking brake ON!). 3. Remove two screws on each side of the selector lever/cupholder trim panel. 4. Lift up the panel and unclip the shifter boot from underneath. Also disconnect any electrical connectors (should only apply to ambient lighting) 5. Turn and remove the panel over the shifter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravishingrocket Posted June 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 I found out that the bulb is indeed for the shifter illumination, but I have a piece that is broken, so I had to tape the bulb in place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWizard Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Am I going color blind? The photo makes the wire look light blue but the manual says it should be purple with gray. And where did the ground wire go? I suppose it wouldn't be the first time a schematic has been wrong but it seems odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
