Hodgie Posted June 6 Report Share Posted June 6 2010 Edge Limited, good news and bad news. First the good news, I successfully installed taillight assemblies from a 2011 onto my 2010. They work great, I now have amber turn signals on the rear. I will post a how to with photos and video on my other post about that subject. Now the bad news, with all the fooling around with that process I killed the battery. I have re-charged it since. Unfortunately that has messed up my tailgate. In searching it appears low voltage or a dead battery messes with the control system. Tail gate is now open and won't close using either of the buttons in the vehicle or the key fob. Lots of suggestions on the web including removing both fuses for at least 20 seconds, which I did to no avail. The other suggestions are to initialize the power lift gate by going to the message centre and using the setup button turn on the lift gate. I have scrolled and pushed buttons to no effect. Unfortunately the owners manual is no help and I have not found instructions on Google or Youtube. HELP ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodgie Posted June 6 Author Report Share Posted June 6 Hey guys I finally figured it out. After pulling the 30 AMP fuse in the engine compartment and the 10 AMP fuse in the drivers side fuse box. I kept them out for a minute. I saw in one post that you needed to manually close and latch the liftgate. I did that and the system rebooted and now everything works. Wow what a process. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haz Posted June 6 Report Share Posted June 6 (edited) For future reference here, from the 2010 Edge Workshop Manual... Placing your device cursor over underlined acronyms may yield full-words descriptions of the acronyms. Power Liftgate Initialization NOTE: The power liftgate may not operate correctly under the following conditions: If any of these conditions has occurred, the power liftgate must be reinitialized. A low voltage or dead battery A disconnected battery Repairs/adjustments have been made to the power liftgate rod, power liftgate motor, liftgate hinges or liftgate striker NOTE: Battery power must be removed from the Liftgate/Trunk Module (LTM) for 20 seconds before the LTM will enter the initialization mode. Disconnect the battery or remove the LTM fuse(s). Wait 20 seconds and reconnect the battery or reinstall the LTM fuse(s). If liftgate is not already in the fully closed position, manually close and fully latch the power liftgate. NOTE: Make sure the power liftgate system is turned ON in the message center before performing this step. NOTE: If the power liftgate does not open during this step, refer to the Symptom Chart to diagnose the inoperative power liftgate. Power open the power liftgate by using the key fob or control switch. Once the power liftgate is fully open, close the power liftgate by using the key fob or control switch. Good luck!
