How do you replace clutch on 1995 ford escort wagon manual?
Pre 1997/9 models of Ford Vehicles were self-adjusting via the clutch-foot-pedal. The pedal engages a ratchet system called the QUADRANT & PAWL and is part of the pedal. The mechanism is very similar on older Ford models of: Escort, Fiesta, Sierra, Granada, Transit & others. Newer vehicles may have a Hydraulic Clutch from 1997/9 onwards, and these work differently from the cable & pully mechanism. Clutch-fluid can be bled to improve the ability to operate the clutch, however this is not necessarily a method of adjusting the clutch.
If your reading this article because you have a broken clutch-pedal then please read on.
If when pressing the foot-pedal it feels like cable is broken, or pedal is loose, ...This is symptomatic of failure of the QUADRANT & PAWL 'ratchet' mechanism due to wear of teeth on the ratchet.
In some cases the pedal fails to pull the clutch out far enough to change gear, and may make a 'springing noise'. This is due to slippage on some worn ratchet-teeth, but the mechanism has not reached full failure. There are 2 ways to remedy the fault.
1. Change the Quadrant & Pawl, using only genuine Ford parts. #Beware of inferior mouldings that are not up to standard e.g. too soft, and do not trust 'pattern-parts' on eBay etc.
2. SHORTEN THE CABLE.
- Disconnect SPRING ON THE FOOT-PEDAL to release ratchet mechanism.
- Clamp cable slack (engine end).

Why is the sitting dash light flashing on my 94 escort lx 1.9 l?
If it is red it is flashing because your seat belts aren't buckled. If it is yellow it is a warning that your air bag system isn't working.
It's possible, but if you turned the engine off/put the tranny in neutral immediatly, you should be ok. Replace the belt and turn the engine over a couple of times (avoid starting, if possible) with a friend standing over/near the engine. If they don't hear and wierd noises (odd ticks or clicks), start her up. Listen carefully, if you don't hear anything out of the ordinary - you should be good to go.
It sounds like the engine has possibly jumped time. The easiest way to tell is to find your timing marks and set the engine to top dead center (TDC.) remove the number one spark plug and insure that the piston is at the top. If it isn't then rotate the engine over and check again. If it is still not at the top then the timing is off and the belt or chain and gears will need to be replaced.
What is wrong with a 1997 ford escort when it won't shift out of park?
Sounds like your neutral safety switch. When you depress your brake, a cylinder in the shifter mechanism releases and allows the gear change. I would bring it to a mechanic, and get it inspected.

When the AC is on the motor for the fan at the radiator is supposed to be on, also. If not your engine could overheat in around the town driving.

How do you install the temperature control switch on a 1998 Ford Escort?
I have same question for my 1999 Escort. I think the trick is to remove the glove compartment enslosure (seems to be just a few screws holding it in). Once removed, there should be enough room to locate the controller on the back side of the radio facelplate, and secure it with the torx screw. There's not enoug slack in the cable to attach it with the radio face plate assembly outside of the dashboard. I can't say it's the right answer, but I'll give it a try.

What drains the battery on an 86 Ford Escort?
There is an easy way to find out what is draining the battery on your car. Disconnect the positive or negative battery terminal. Not both. Connect a test light between the post of the battery to the cable end of the battery. If your car is draining the batt ery the light will show it. To find out where the drain is coming from just pull fuses until the light goes out. Then you will know what is draining the battery by the function of the fuse you just pulled. For example, if you pulled the fuse for "radio" and the light went out you would know the radio is drawing the current off your battery.
