Burnt out turn signal bulb. Upon installation of new bulb I found the socket to be melted on both sides. Took car into Ford dealership where they replaced the sockets and inserted new bulbs. A few months later another burnt bulb with discolored sockets. Changed bulb again. Now I'm up to about 6 bulb changes with 4 being done by the dealer.

I have a 2008 Edge with 18,000 miles on it. One week ago my left turn signal stopped working. On investigation I discovered the socket holding the bulb had melted. With 13 days left on the warranty I took it to Ford, they replaced it and the bulb. When I got home I check the right turn signal, same thing, socket was burned worse. They are replacing this today as they did not have another socket in stock. I am going to take a picture of this.

At 40,000 miles rear blinker bulb went out and upon replacement the bulb had melt and the socket showed heat scorch. Ford said this was common on Edges. At 85,000 the same thing occurred however this time the bulbs had major melt at the base of the bulb. Ford says they now have a tech bulletin and says to use a new part number bulb. Very apparent that the bulb was experiencing a high temperature that caused the melt.

The contact owns a 2008 Ford Edge. The contact stated that the right rear brake light stopped working. When he replaced the light he noticed that the wires had melted. The vehicle was inspected by a dealer who informed him that he needed to replace the bulb and that the failure occurred often in Ford vehicles. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 27,500.

Tail light bulb burnt out. Appears socket is burnt. Dealership said no problem with socket only the bulb. I looked on line and appears a lot of people are observing burnt and melted bulb sockets on a lot of vehicles.
