The Ford Escape (2023-2024) is a modern compact SUV that combines sleek styling, advanced technology, and versatility. It features a five-door body style with a spacious interior that comfortably seats five passengers, making it ideal for families and individuals seeking comfort and practicality. With multiple trims and hybrid options, the Escape caters to both eco-conscious drivers and those seeking dynamic performance. Its updated design emphasizes aerodynamics, while its advanced safety and infotainment systems enhance the overall driving experience.
The electrical system in the 2023-2024 Ford Escape relies on a well-structured fuse box and relay setup to ensure efficient functionality. The primary fuse box is located in the engine compartment near the battery, protecting critical components like the headlights, ignition system, and cooling fans. The secondary fuse panel is situated inside the cabin, typically on the passenger side, and manages interior electronics such as the infotainment system, power windows, and cabin lighting. Relays positioned near the fuse boxes regulate high-power systems, including the fuel pump and air conditioning. Regular inspection of these components is essential to maintain electrical reliability.

WARNING
- Never replace a fuse with one that has a higher amperage rating.
- A fuse with a too-high amperage could damage the electrical part and cause a fire.
- On no account should fuses be repaired (e.g. patched up with tin foil or wire) as this may cause serious damage elsewhere in the electrical circuit or cause a fire.
- If a fuse blows repeatedly, do not keep replacing it. Instead, have the cause for the repeated short circuit or overload tracked and fixed.
- Terminal and harness assignments for individual connectors will vary depending on vehicle equipment level, model, and market.
