Ford Edge condensation issue in tail light bar potentially leading to electrical short on Ford Edge

Some Ford Edge owners report experiencing condensation issues in the tail light bar, often occurring after exposure to rain or vehicle washing. This problem has led some to seek solutions from dealerships, with instances of light replacements under warranty. Additionally, significant water accumulation in the back light bar has been noted, which does not clear up on its own despite dealer advice. The condensation is attributed to environmental factors, as the tail lights are sealed units. Some owners have attempted DIY fixes, such as drilling holes for drainage, but these solutions may not be effective or recommended. Removing the tail light assembly for maintenance can be complicated and may not provide access to the sealed unit. In cases of persistent condensation that could risk electrical shorts, it is advisable for owners to seek professional assistance or explore warranty options to mitigate potential safety hazards.
