Step Plate / Threshold Edge illumination


Recommended Posts

Was wondering if anyone has removed the step plate on the passenger or driver's side to see how the 'Edge' logo is illuminated.

 

If so, does the entire step plate just pop off with gentle prying, or is there a trick to it?

 

Just picked up our 'new to us' 2016 Ford Edge Titanium AWD and the illumination was working when we bought it two weeks ago, until this passed week end.

 

Dealer says they have to order the part from the US; - connector has 'green slime' on it due to water damage.

 

Is this water damage as common a problem as the dealer explained to me?

Good news, I don't think it's a common problem.  I scan multiple Edge related forums and Facebook groups and have never seen this mentioned before.  The bad news is, of course, you're dealing with it.  You don't show where you live in the profile.  Is there any chance your Edge was driven through or was in a flooded area at some point?  If it was driven through high water that could explain the problem.

Grip it and rip it.   Might need to pull the metal clips off the body and put them back on the trim piece before you reinstall, they tend to bite into the metal and not stay on the plastic as it's removed, no matter how careful you are.
