BigBerky Posted January 31, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 Agreed, but I don’t know how else to explain this issue. Clean car fax no accidents. Everything looks factory. Just strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omar302 Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 There is at least one other member here who had a 2015 Sport with SE/SEL middle bar. https://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/18671-2015-edge-sport-non-functioning-led-light-bar-rattles-leak/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBerky Posted January 31, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 Thanks Omar302, It appears I am the second edge sport owner with this issue documented on this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1004ron Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) That one was also a used lease, but if it did in fact come from the factory like that it would be even more of a mystery. He doesn't report back on what the Dealership eventually did with the light bar, and they could possibly have corrected it. If it was bought new and the owner discovered it and it was in the model's spec. then Ford would have to make it right. BigBerky , how confident are you with electrics and electronics skils, are you 100% sure that its a non-illuminated light bar?

BigBerky Posted February 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 I have attached an image of the internal circuit board inside the light bar unit. I cut an access hole in the back of the unit.There are 2 black wires going in each direction from the top 2 white connectors to the back up lights. The middle empty plug is where the red,green,and black 12v power comes in. That’s it for wiring or components inside. No LEDs running through the red sections of the unit. Any ideas if I’m missing something? I wanted to make sure I could reseal the back of the unit, so I didn’t cut any further. This was really touchy. I resealed the hole with black RTV and it is back working in the edge. I’ve scoured the web for a wiring schematic of this part...not found. I’ve looked at multiple pictures of this part online trying to find differences in the wiring compared to what I have. It’s really hard to detect. I’ve called my local Ford dealership and requested a wiring breakdown for the part. According to the service manager, they don’t have that info. They just install a new parts. I’m at a dead end without a schematic. I did notice one of the three main plugs for this unit has a blank pin filler on both sides of the plug (car side and part side). Maybe this has merit...not sure. If I had more info or really good wiring pictures of the correct part for my rig that would really help. I used to repair pinballs and jukeboxes so I have a better that average understanding of circuitry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The poster did post later here & here. In short, that specific Edge was bought back by Ford as he faced other issues with it as well.

1004ron Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 I would approach Ford Corp. and at least see what their response is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBerky Posted February 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 Called Ford and have a case # going. Odds are they won’t help me with this issue. It would involve installing the correct wire harness and the correct part. I’m sure they would sell me the correct gear and install it for around 2 grand. These kind of one off strange issues don’t get resolved for free or even for a reasonable amount of $ at Ford. The owner who bought this rig new, should have had it fixed under warranty. Time to tap out and move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBerky Posted March 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2021 Update: I purchased and installed the correct version of the reflector bar for my sport. Bingo...it works! Wasn’t cheap but it looks good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
