Sounds like the Edge box failure rate is significant. Has anyone tried isolation techniques, or mounting to a heat sink? Not sure what the warranty implications would be, but curious...

I think your on the right track mark , my edge ran really hot and a heatsink and small fan is a great idea for those of you that still have a good box!

Regarding edge box failures, I never did agree with mounting on the electrical fuse box, mine's been mounted on the cross frames near the firewall and fender area where the cool air blowing through the headlight area can go through the fender and exit near the rear of the left front fender. Been there 2 years now no problem. Also don't use velcro, it acts as an insulator between the box and the surface you mount on, the box can't transfer the heat unless the surface of the box contacts the surface of the crossmembers (big heat sink) that it is attached to on my truck.

Does the battery act as a heat sink?
