I have just started towing my 2014 Ford edge. 3 days towing and 3 dead batteries is the result. I am using a Patriot supplemental braking system plugged into the Edge's cigarette lighter.
I believe I am doing everything the way the Ford and Patriot owners manuals say.
The small display screens on either side of the speedometer do not seem to go out, so that may be the problem. In the owners manual, fuse #11 controls the instrument cluster so that may be the problem. Will remove that fuse before I tow again in 2 days.
I have extra bulbs for taillight and brake lights installed in the taillight lenses and these are powered from the motorhome. I may also remove the fuse that controls the factory brake lighs since these are not needed. I will do this in case the Patriot brake is not releasing the pedal after braking and thus activating the factory brake lights.
