ricecrisp Posted February 18, 2022 Report Share Posted February 18, 2022 I got a 2011 edge and got some issues going on and have no idea where to start, My speedometer heat and interior lighting keep going on and off as I drive. The Battery light comes on as well ( on and off) but had just got the alternator replaced and thats not the issue. Has no issues starting up or driving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 Battery condition, CCA test reading? If CCA reading below 50% battery is bad. Tightness of battery connections? Corrosion? Battery light indicates battery not charging. Did they check the condition of the belt? Tensioner good? How is it they replaced the alternator but didn't find the problem? Not much of a mechanic.

ricecrisp Posted February 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 I fix my cars on my own, Battery is good as well as belt and tensioner, It has no issues driving, the alternator was replaced then had no issues for a bit then this started happening. Just looking for others insight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will2U Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 This is just a shot in the dark. Does the 2011 Edge have a BMS? When I had an Escape, that forum had a lot of discussion about weird electrical behavior when the battery was low or changed out. It usually had to do with resetting the Battery Management System. Perhaps when changing the alternator, the BMS needs to be reset and it's just "confused." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CARR142 Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 Bad ground somewhere. As an example: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricecrisp Posted February 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 Battery tested out fine, I believe its come down to Wiring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
