The Ford Escape Hybrid (2005-2007) is a groundbreaking compact SUV, blending a traditional gas engine with an electric motor for enhanced fuel efficiency and reduced emissions. It features a five-door body style with a spacious cabin that seats up to five passengers, making it ideal for eco-conscious families and commuters. Retaining the rugged yet practical design of the standard Escape, the Hybrid model also offers front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations to cater to urban and off-road needs. Its innovative hybrid system sets it apart in terms of performance and efficiency.
The electrical system of the Escape Hybrid is managed by a reliable fuse box and relay system, which ensures seamless functionality for both standard and hybrid-specific components. The primary fuse box is located under the hood near the battery, protecting critical systems such as the hybrid control unit, cooling fans, and ignition. An interior fuse panel, located beneath the dashboard on the driver’s side, handles accessories like power windows, cabin lighting, and the audio system. Relays positioned near the fuse boxes manage high-power components, including the air conditioning and hybrid power systems. Regular maintenance of these components ensures optimal performance.

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.
