rwf78155 Posted October 27, 2018 Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 (edited) Got Home Thursday night and pushed the button on my 2018 Edge Sport and all electronics (dash, gauges, radio etc.) shut off but.....the engine remained running. I tried shifting it in and out of park, drove it around the block....tried everything and the engine continued running. Finally after 15 minutes it shut off, which is a built in Ford safety feature. It's been at my Ford dealership and they say they have never seen or heard of this, btw......the check engine light remains on Anyone else ever seen or heard of this ?

rwf78155 Posted November 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 Got the vehicle back..... A three hour computer/run test showed the battery was at fault......not consistently putting out 12 volts. Ford (Griffith Ford) put a new battery in and reran the test with no issues ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 Simple fix at least. Hopefully the replacement battery lasts a day or two longer, LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 If we had a dime for every time something strange turned out to be the battery, we'd have a big ass pile of dimes. I bet my $60 Solar BA7 tester would have identified the battery as bad in about 2 seconds. Why mechanics aren't using it is beyond me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwf78155 Posted November 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 akirby....the three hour test was to test and totally reset all electronics in the vehicle to factory settings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
