Forester 52 Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 the new edge has four power points to power accessories. Nice except the acessories I plugged into my 2007 edge don't work with the new edge. That includes my I touch and my cooler. Did ford change what plugs work on the néw one. What acessories can be powered by the new edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how they could have changed to not work with devices as it is based on a standard. They can't be different. Make sure you're getting power - it may be a blown fuse. Also - they may only be powered when the ignition is on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forester 52 Posted August 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 So I went to a ford dealer and tried my accessories that worked on my older edge. They didn't work on an escape. So went to target bought a new adapter for my iPhone. I plugged it into my new edge and it worked. The adapter looked different. My conclusion is the plug that works in the new edge has changed. So scrap your old Plugs and accessories. Or use them in your Toyota. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr.edge Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 (edited) All 12V accessory sockets are built to the same standard specifications however they sometimes suffer from poor contact stability. A plug that works in one socket may not work in another or you might have to push it in a bit or sometimes rotate it. Either way, they really are all the same as they comply with SAE standard J563 12-volt cigar lighter receptacle and plug, size A Receptacle inside diameter: 20.93 - 21.01 mm (median 20.97 mm) Plug body diameter: 20.73 - 20.88 mm (median 20.805 mm) Edited August 7, 2011 by dr.edge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
