Just to the left of the engine temperature gauge , at the center of the normal

operating temperature range . It is a symbol of a person wearing a seat belt with a

circle in front of them

Most likely a partially plugged catalytic converter Or engine misfire Is the check engine light on?? If not have your exhaust backpressure checked

Check the yellow wire under the front seats one of them must be lose.

Check fuses

Check Vacuum dump switch located at the upper end of the brake pedal (similar to brake light switch) for alignment and adjustment

Check the center stop light ( I don't know why, but they tell me if center brake does not work cruise will not work.) neither seem to have power but the fuses are all in good condition but no cruse ot traction control please help

1. Fuse Blown
2. Wiper Relay Blown
3. Spindles Stripped
4. Linkage Broke
5. Wiper Motor Blown

   Normally its just the fuse. See your owners manual.

I am not familiar with your model of Ford, BUT... I have owned Fords for years, including right now an '89 F-150 and a '93 F-150, and have helped family and friends with other brands of vehicles.

Most late model vehicles don't require dis-assembly of the lens from the assembly. Usually, the bulb is inserted into a SOCKET which inserts into the BACKSIDE of the reflector of the light assembly with a one quarter turn clockwise [to the right] of the socket into the assembly.

On some vehicles the tail light assemblies and their wiring are CONCEALED behind some carpeting and/or fiberboard panels. If this is the case, these panels are usually just sized to be a force-fit into the compartment, BUT... before trying to "muscle" it out, CAREFULLY CHECK see IF "they" used some screws to secure the panel or carpet in place. IF SO, then remove the screws before trying to remove the fiberboard or carpet concealment panels.

To change a bulb, you open the trunk, find the right socket for the tail light, grasp the socket [the wires come out of the back of it] and gently rotate the socket about one quarter of a turn counterclockwise [anticlockwise-left].

This will allow the socket to be pulled out of the assembly exposing the light bulb. While holding the socket in one hand, with the other hand gently "rock" the bulb in the socket while pulling outward which should release and remove the old bulb.

Then insert the new bulb in the socket, reinstall the socket into the opening in the back of the assembly reflector, and gently turn 1/4 turn clockwise to lock it in the reflector.

Then if present, reinstall the concealment panel or carpet.

According to the 2008 Ford Escape Owner Guide :

Both the 2.3 liter four cylinder engine and the 3.0 V6 are designed to use :

( " regular " unleaded gasoline , 87 octane )

Buckle up!

If the check engine light is flashing every second or so with the engine running that

means an engine cylinder misfire has been detected

Should be Ok, check towing capacity against GVW to be sure, stay well below the limit.

Also check with the dealer if the Escape has an automatic transmission, damage can result from towing if not done properly.

on the bottom of the transmission there is a plug that you take out. you can stick your little finger in the hole where the plug was to see if it is low. if you do not get fluid on your finger, it may need a quart or so.

What do you mean by "Torgue Setting"? Here are the Spec's. for that engine. Horsepower 175.00 HP (128.8 KW) @ 4000.00 RPM Torque 245.00 Ft-Lbs (332.2 NM) @ 2400.00 RPM

if the ignition is cycled, driver's seat belt is unbuckled for

more than 10 seconds and the vehicle speed is greater

than 5 mph (8 km/h).

The Enhanced Warning System (BeltAlert) can be enabled

or disabled by your authorized dealer or by

following these steps:

NOTE: The following steps must occur within the first

60 seconds of the ignition switch being turned to the ON

or START position. DaimlerChrysler does not recommend

deactivating the Enhanced Warning System

(BeltAlert).

1. With all doors closed and the ignition switch in any

position except On or Start, buckle the driver's seat belt.

2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and wait

for the Seat Belt Warning Light to turn off.

3. Within 60 seconds of turning the ignition switch to the

ON position, unbuckle and then re-buckle the driver's

seat belt at least three times within 10 seconds, ending

with the seat belt buckled.

NOTE: Watch for the Seat Belt Warning Light to turn on

while unbuckling and off while re-buckling the seat belt.

It may be necessary to retract the seat belt.

4. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position. A

single chime will sound to signify that you have successfully

completed the programming.

The Enhanced Warning System (BeltAlert) can be reactivated

by repeating this procedure.

NOTE: Although the Enhanced Warning System

(BeltAlert) has been deactivated, the Seat Belt Warning

Light will continue to illuminate while the driver's seat

belt remains unbuckled.
