Headlight Switch Problems of Ford Edge

Went to leave at night headlights did not come on and will not come on. Drive to turn just the switch to make them come on did not work either. The low beams nor the high beams will come on.

1. Drivers door ajar light warning stays on. 2. Head lights. The door ajar light and dome light stays on have too repeatedly slam the door for light to go off. Also headlights goes out at night sometime the right light goes out or the left some times 4th they both will go out have to switch the knob back to off position and then turn back on to get the headlights back on.

2014 Ford Edge w/ 100000 miles. Driving in town and headlights went off. All other lights still on; tail, dash, parking, t/s, flashers and accessory. Retired Ford mechanic. Started activating all light related switches. All things normal except no headlight &/or high beam. Wiggled and pulled all fuses and relays in the under hood fuse panel. Wiggled and pulled all electrical looms and connectors. Checked headlight plugs and connectors. Nothing!! slammed hood and lights returned. Has not re-occurred yet.

The vehicle was purchased new in Dec. 2013 and as of today has 54,500 miles on it. As of today it has now gone through 2 headlight bulbs, one for each side. The first was Jan. 2016 and the second yesterday. I believe there is a defect in the way the headlight high/low beam system is made in the Edge. A single bulb is used for both high and low beam. When the driver switches to high beam the entire bulb socked or light housing is commanded up. This is noticeable inside the vehicle with a loud bump from the headlight area. I believe the force of this movement contributes to the shortened life of the bulbs. If driving at night it's possible both bulbs could be broken when switching from low to high beam. Should this occur at night it could lead to a vehicle crash due to loss of visibility, possibly resulting in injury or death.

Driving the blue ridge parkway in nc we entered the first of several tunnels along that route. Headlight switch was in auto-on position as it is always. The headlights did not come on as we entered the tunnel as they do at nightfall. I hit the brakes before either running in to the wall on the right or (worse) crossing over in to the opposite lane. Almost caused a rear end collision as there was a group of harley davidson's behind us. I fumbled with the light switch to turn on, not knowing exactly which way to turn it (as we don't use it since it is in the auto-on position all the time) last time I trust this. We will just turn them on ourselves. Did try to allow the auto-on to work on next two tunnels but it did not. Very dangerous Ford. Why? panic mode, and I'm sure the harley riders were not very happy either.
