To access the fuse box in your car, locate the small seam or crack on the left side of the dashboard next to the steering wheel. Use a screwdriver or prybar to gently open this panel. Inside, you'll find a number of fuses. Check the back of the panel for a diagram that indicates the purpose of each fuse. If not there, refer to the vehicle's owner's manual. Identify the fuse you need to replace by looking for a thin strip of metal connecting the two raised sections of the fuse. If the strip is broken, the fuse is faulty and should be swapped out with a new one, which typically costs around $10. If the strip is intact, the fuse is still functional and can be reinserted.
There are a pair of fuse boxes in the Ford Escape. One is located in the engine compartment known as the battery junction box, while the other, called the smart junction box, is situated inside the car.
Can you point me to the location of the fuse panel?
