Typically, the block heater cord for your Ford Escape is usually seen coming out through the grille, but there are instances where it may be tucked under the engine hood and wound around the fuse housing holder on the upper right side. In this setup, you will need to keep the hood open to utilize the block heater. These cords often wear out over time. If this is the situation with your cord, replacing the entire cable is relatively simple: Locate where the heater connects to the block, remove the retaining nut, disconnect the cord plug, install a new one, secure the nut, and start using the new cord.
It is located at the front of the engine, with a small cap on top - just remove the cap to find it.
The cords for the block heater of a Ford Escape can be found within a passage filled with coolant, exclusively heating up the coolant.
