I have Ford Edge 2008, while driving, Battery, ABS and other lights are turned on, then AC, radio, light stops working. Few minutes later everything is back on like nothing. It seems to me when the care is getting extremely hot, the issue appears, but when I start driving on highway it cools down and things get back to normal.
Pull the service codes...can be mad, ignition switch, tps, iac, and a whole bunch of other stuff so you need the codes.

Have your altenator checked. Sounds like it trying to stop charging. May be internal votage regulator.

Go to the solenoid on the fenderwell .Look where the positive battery cable goes to the solenoid,there should be a group of wires attached with the battery cable,one,or two of these all fusible links,one maybe burned into.Pull on them,if one of them is burned into,it will pull apart like taffy.If so replace it with fusible link wire,from the parts store.Also,check for blown fuses under the hood in the fuse box.If there is a blown fuse,or burned fusible link,something caused it,so you will have to figure out the reason.If all this checks out,and you find nothing wrong in these areas,check the ignition switch.It may be bad.

This is telling you that the battery is failing and quickly. They don't always just die. Sometimes it has enough to cause these kinds of problems. This often occurs during season changes when it gets either real hot or real cold. Replace your battery and you should be good for another 5 - 8 years. Keep the receipt just in case there is a problem with the new battery.
Hi Jeff,
This is an old warning issue or procedure, I had the same problem a few years ago with my Ford Taurus 1995, if rear stop lights not work, you wont be able to moved the shift out of Parking (P); this is to avoid driving without rear stop lights. If no lights, normally a fuse is blow out or all bulb lights are gone, please check.
There is an alternate procedure to be able to drive your car, but, avoid driving without Stop lights. Turn the ignition key to the point before starting the engine, this release the lock for the driving wheel and transmission shift, press the brake, put the shift in Neutral (N) and start the engine. Im not sure if your Ford Edge has the no key starting button or fob, there is a procedure to release the locks and be able to drive, should be in your drivers manual, but, again; the intention is to avoid moving the car without Stop Lights. I hope this helps. Happy Holidays and take care.
