The pump is located next to the windshield water tank, to access it you have to go by the passenger�s side, remove the Allen nuts for the mudguard that is right above the front tire, remove the cover and you will see the pump just in the right side, almost behind the fender.
I discover this location because suddenly the water sistem in the windshield stop sendig water, I touhgt it was the pump, but water was still going out, the mudguardcover and wheel were wet. I removed the mudguard and found that the hose was disconected. I fixed it and put the mudgard back in place. I prefered to do it myself and took me about 30 minutes from start to finish. I could have took a day in the ford dealer to fix it and who knows how much they could have charged for it.
My SUV is a 2006 Ford Escape 3.0 V6, I have been comparing the haynes manual (Special:Booksources) for 2001 to 2003 models and basically us the same thing for all the models. So is useful for everyone who wants to do repairs by your own.
If it is the inside panel then there should be plastic clips that hold it on. you can use a flat head screwdriver or a special tool from a auto parts store. pry the clips off CAREFULLY! so you dont break them. If you have a repair manual refer to it for better instructions.
first disconnect the battery, then remove the inside mirror cover by removing the screw, then use a small thin flat screw driver just infront of the locking push/pull tab and disconnect the locking rod and if you have manuel windows then you'll need a tool to remove the retaining clip that holds the handle on, you can also try using a rag and in a back and forth motion slip it behind the handle and try to remove it that way, this will work to. then remove the other screws, theres one in the door handle cup and a couple more arond the edges, then you can buy a tool that will pull the tabs out that secure the bottom or if you have a grardening fork for pulling dandelions up by the root it will work just as good or a putty knife with a small pry bar or large flat tip screw driver behind the putty knife, then carefully wiggle and lift the door panel off, carefully then you will need to disconnect the electric plug for the widow or a putty knife with a small pry bar or large flat tip screw driver behind the putty knife, once off the door should be covered with plastic try to keep this as best as possable but dont be afraid to cut it out but try and remove it as one piece then you can glue it back on with black gasket sealer, it works better than just about anything. i wish i knew what you were trying to do, butch

Cylinder 1 is at the front of the Engine (where Belt(s) are) if rear drive and at the Right (Passenger) side for Front Wheel Drive.
i havnt had to take mine off yet, but on other cars that i have had to, i just remove the window crank, and remove any screw or bolt that you can see, be sure to keep all screws labeled to where they go back. once you have them all off, pull on the bottom outside corner, and gently pop it off of the snap conectors on the back side. it there is a spot that is still attached, just look for a "hidden" screw.once you have all the ccsrews out, and all the snap conector removed, lift the pannel upwards and it will slide out the window slot. hope this helps.
Replacing the head gasket on any vehicle is a long and complicated process, however if you wish to see basic step-by-step instructions go to the related question on the right side of the page "How do you replace a head gasket?"
if its a 4 cylinder, its located inside the timing case.
have a test done to see if your camshaft sensor is bad that sounds suspiciosly like fuel filter.
check the heater core
Well I asked this one and now i will also answer it. It is one of the cables going from the shifter to the transmission broke
To test fuel injector failure disconect the power plug from one while runing (you won't get an electrical shock) and check if engine performance gets worst, if not, you have found the bad one. Test all injectors as well to be sure. Be careful removing the power plug, they use a protection clip that must be reconnected. Avoid this problem using a fuel injector cleaner regularly. Avoid driving the car with low gas in the tank, it will use dirty gas of the bottom.
this nwill only work if the injector is not working, it will not help if it's weak or is working partailly, and if it's like mine you cant even get to the injector plugs without taking everything off, and if you just a guy who changes oil and plugs and a cap then it will be diffecult for you unless you know how to read an ohm meter, and since you have to take the throttle body off to get the fuel log off to get the injectors out which means you have to bleed off the fuel pressure in the line then disconnect the line right before they go into the fender drivers side, my advise is to go ahead and change all the injectors because it's just not worth guessing at which one might be bad or how many are bad, just replace them all and remove all doubt. it'll take the better part of the day to do it unless your used to working on cars all the time, hope this helps, P.S. a book will help but not alot, example: it will say to relieve the fuel preasure from the fuel rail by bleeding it at the sharder valve well the 93 don't have a sharder valve and it don't tell you were or how to disconnect the fuel lines you half to know how and have the platis tools that you use and the air conditioning lines, so thats why i said what i said, butch
If the blower motor is not working, it is either a blown fuse, bad bower motor speed control, defective blower motor, or more than likely a bad blower motor resistor pack.
try autozone.com current vehicle upper left choose car repair info vehicle repair guides it may b in there
I have a 1990 Pontiac Safari wagon that would not start,after much testing we found one bad fuel injector replaced it and car started but ran terrible, did more testing and found bad ignition module, replaced module runs better but now have code #43 knock sensor and engine is running in default mode switched ECM no help must be knock sensor don't think knock sensor would keep car from starting but the other things mentioned here would. Hope this helps. This wagon has 3.1 engine. Havent changed knock sensor yet.
There are many parts to a car that must be maintained. This problem can be caused by a bad fuel pump, filter, or fuel injectors.Ê
If The Guage reads full all the time, chances are that it is toast. You'll have to replace the Gas Guage with a factory or aftermarket replacement. Auto Wreckers often provide a cheaper alternative, if you don't want top buy new. Honestly.......Give your gas tank a kick! The float in the tank might free up for awhile.
MY 94 3.1 V6 HAD THAT PROBLEM THE DIFF WAS THAT IT READ ONLY UP TO A HALF OF TANK. WHAT FIX IT WAS IN THE BACK OF THE TANK THERE ARE TWO PLUGS PULL BOTH OF THEM OUT THEN SWITCH THE KEY TO ON YOU WILL NOTICE THAT IT WON'T READ GOOD OK THEN BACK TO THE PLUGS AND PUT THEM BACK IN. TURN THE SWITCH ON MORE TIME AND THAT WORK FOR ME.... HOPE IT HELPED
There is nothing inside a torque converter to go out. if the transmission fails to pull it may be, fluid level, front pump, control system or clutches burned.
The motor could be bad. Takeit to a garage. I have a 92 sunbird convertable I had the same problem Its the relay switch located in the trunk on the left side of the pump mounted to the back wall of the trunk with one screw Unfortunatly it is a very hard junkyard part to find and you have to buy a new one from a dealer and it costs about $120.00 or so (very high i thought for such a little part) so I f your ready here is a simple easy and cheap way to fix it. First pull the conector plug fromp the pump shold be two thick wires orange and brown i think put a wire in each one and run it to a good baterry one on ethe positive and one on the negative ( don't matter which one it works both ways one way makes it go up then switch wires other way goes down that will tell you if its the motoe or not. Then if the motoe works then go and get a high output 3 way switch and wire it your self deleting the relay and mount it in you dash then you have a new switch and you top should work good luck1
cheak all the fuses. there should be on and it proubley blew
The electric motor is bad.
I had the same problem and it was the top cylinder that are finish i replace the top cylinder and the problem was solved. It depend where you live it could be a $300. to a$500 dolars fix. i got the cylinder from the convertable guy on the internet
Have a nice day gerrybelca@yahoo.com
I thought it was a major issue, too. One day I was talking to a friend with the engine running. I pressed the rocker switch and the top started to move. I found it wouldn't work with the ignition shut off yet the relay clicked...try it with the key in the "on" position.
