2012 ford edge shutting of due to wiring?

Asked by Msrose9998 May 18, 2022 at 07:20 PM about the 2012 Ford Edge SEL

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

So I bought a car Saturday, 2012 Ford Edge, it was
running fine, then completely shut off on the
highway, screens not working, but lights, charger
port were working. Car wouldn’t turn over, I got it
back today from the dealership, they said it was
due to some wires under the driver seat causing it
that we’re hanging and got cut when I moved the
seat 30 minutes prior to leaving the dealership, I
don’t think there should be any wires causing the
car to not even turn over. Can someone tell me if
this is true or not? I got it back today but feel like
they just put a bandaid on it, it’s been very stressful
with this dealership the entire process.

It's possible. The vehicle is 10 years old and a lot can happen in that time. Perhaps the wiring was rubbing the underside of the seat, wore a spot of insulation off the wires, and created a short. Look under the seat, if you can, and inspect the repair. Hope that helps! Jim
