Rick C Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 My wife's 2010 Edge SEL had an overheating situation yesterday. Keep in mind that it has been 100+ degrees for the last few days, and actually hit 117 in our area. She was in bumper to bumper on the freeway, and as she got clear of it, and started to get up to speed, she noticed that the temp gauge was almost all the way to hot. She started to pull over, but the temp went back to normal. I checked it in the driveway, and only the passenger side fan seems to be coming on. But after letting it idle, it didn't overheat. So what I'm trying to figure out is if the fans come on at different temps, or if they should come on together. Also, with the a/c on full, should both fans be on? Or does the driver side fan only come on when it gets close to overheating? One more thing, we don't have the tow package. I'm pretty sure that the fan should be on, and this is what caused the overheating in traffic, but I was hoping to hear from some other Edge owners. Thanks, Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 With A/C on max both fans should be on. I'd guess one fan is bad. Use Motorcraft/OEM replacements - aftermarket units don't work well if at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decojuicer Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 Im having the same overheating problem, and the same problem with the fan. Luckily, a local salvage yard has a low mileage replacement for only $27. And someone was kind enough to already take it off the vehicle.
