  1. 4G Battery, Engine and Technical Discussion
    My car went into a deep sleep mode over the holiday. I had to get a jump start. I read the manuel and online info and it kept referring to manually starting the car, but didn't show how to do it, other than placing the fob in the tray, but with no power that didn't work. Is there another way to...
  2. 3G Engine and Technical Discussion
    Couple nights ago, left the rear hatch open on my vehicle for about 8 hours (it’s in the garage). Went to start and engine will not turn over. All lights, heater, washer blades, radio work just fine. Just won’t start. Then it threw a“engine fault service now” message. I tried using my...
  3. 3G Engine and Technical Discussion
    2016 Ford Escape SE Code reader gave us Turbocharge Overboost Tech read the battery and got some indication of a bad battery and alternator overboost or some such. * Edit - I am an electrical technician but know very little about auto-mechanics. I'll try to keep up with discussions though...
  4. 3G Engine and Technical Discussion
    I was replacing the battery on my 2016 Ford and when I was placing the bolt back for the negative terminal (the one that connects from the battery cable to the car, not on the battery itself), I dropped the bolt into the engine compartment. I tried using a magnet but can't seem to find the...
  5. 3G Engine and Technical Discussion
    Hey all - first time posting and I have read some similar issues from people but I still haven't found an answer. I purchased a used 2018 Ford Escape SE about a month ago with 21,000 miles on it. The previous owner needed to get the engine rebuilt (under warranty) and for the first two weeks...

    The original battery finally started going caput on my wife's Escape. Not too bad a run considering what all the batteries have to run these days. I removed the wipers, cowl, and water drain to get at it. It really wasn't that difficult. Two 15mm nuts holding the wipers down, a bunch of...

    New to the site. 2013 Ford Escape SE 1.6L, 85,000 miles. Second owner. First owner got into collision with only cosmetic damage. I've had the vehicle for about 10 months. I've had it in the shop 2x in the past 2 weeks. First for an ABS/Trac control issue that was solved by replacing the rear...
  8. Ford Escape General Discussion
    I have a 2013 Escape Titanium that I purchased in Colorado. I'm living in Germany (I was in the US military, but have recently retired). The battery of my Escape is completely dead, and will no longer charge at all. I trying to find out if the Ford Kuga uses the same type pf battery as the...
  9. 3G Electronics, Audio, and Lighting
    Pretty much a complete nub when it comes to cars. I can fix a computer in no time flat..cars make my head hurt. After watching Youtube U, I replaced my 2014 Ford Esacpe Se battery via the cowl method. Issue really was that the negative post was so corroded, that I had to replace the pig tail...
  10. Ford Escape General Discussion
    I like a good mystery. So when a dame, claiming to be my wife, came knocking on my office door, I was all grins. Her Escape battery would occasionally go dead overnight. No unusual activity, no witnesses. The dealership was stymied - the battery was fine they claimed, so in their opinion...
  11. Ford Escape General Discussion
    Hey Everyone, As we all know our batteries are buried under the cowl, most of us have talked about the method for accessing said battery being removing the whole air box and then sliding the battery forward... I've done it twice, and each time took waaaay too much time. This may be old...
  12. 3G Engine and Technical Discussion
    How long is the 2015 supposed to stay on once you park it and initially push the ignition button to turn it off without opening the doors? I ask because the car was dead the other morning, I jumped it and took it to the dealer who said everything was charging okay, and that I should unplug the...
  13. 3G Engine and Technical Discussion
    I have a 2013 Ford Escape Titanium. Today when I went to start my car it wouldn't start. I have the fob, so when I pushed the start button I could hear clicking sounds and my headlights flickered. The clicking and flickering carried on for about 5 minutes. On one of my failed attempts to start...
  14. Ford Escape General Discussion
    I drive a 2013 Escape and it wouldn't start today. The battery was completely dead, not even the locks would work. I hadn't left any lights on, all the doors were shut etc.....the only thing I can think of is that I left my GPS plugged into the 12V outlet in the center console. Does that...
