#394 of 423 Re: Disconnecting the Service Engine Light [dturner857] by mdhug Jul 17, 2006 (5:02 pm)
Replying to: dturner857 (Jul 16, 2006 9:59 am) All you need to do is unhook both battery cables and hold them together without touching the battery for 30 seconds and this will re-set the vehicle computer and clear the light. You may need to pull off the side of the road right before you get it inspected if it has a history of coming back on. Hope this helps
#395 of 423 Thank you. by dturner857 Jul 18, 2006 (2:47 am)
After months of searching, you've given me hope! I will try it and see how long it takes before the sensor picks up the speedometer and then gauge it accordingly for the inspection.

Replying to: dturner857 (Jul 16, 2006 9:59 am) The problem is your speed sensor has gone bad. This will cause your light to come right back on if don't fix it. That price for connecting the code scanner is beyond ridiculous. A code scanner can be had for under $100, with manual.

Replying to: bae146 (Jul 08, 2006 8:11 pm) Thanks, I took your advice. I wasn't sure where to drill at, so I took my best guess. This problem had been giving me fits for two years and all it was was a simple drill and silicone.
#398 of 423 Just Checking in - I love my Escort Wagon! by maryaw Apr 29, 2007 (8:03 pm)
I find the Escort Wagon to be a great utility vehicle for people who don't want a gas-guzzling SUV. My Dark Green 99 Escort Wagon is the "Designated Dog Hauling Car". That way the other family cars stay relatively hair-free. Also it is the one car that dog and cat crates fit into quite nicely. We bought it used in 2001.   It now has close to 120K on it but it still has plenty of zip for passing and drives nicely on the highway. It still looks good - the body has held up well. We did have to replace the back [shocks/springs?] due to overloading it a few too many times.   The only thing that could use upgrading is the speakers. They are a bit cheap sounding, so perhaps they'll be replaced one of these days.   I just wanted to check in with other Escort Wagon owners - it's not a car that gets much attention but since we've had it we find it to be a great dog-hauling, grocery-getting, all-around utility vehicle.

#400 of 423 93 ford escort wagon fuel cut off switch by eileenflora May 10, 2007 (2:02 am)
I have a 93 ford escort. it is pretty rusty and the back end bounces around quite a bit. This is causing the fuel cut off switch to go on and the car will stall. How do I bypass that switch? My mechanic said he was not legally allowed to disable it for liability reasons, but I can't drive it unless I am able to disable it.
#401 of 423 91 Escort wagon: Seat belt passive? by elmasto Jun 03, 2007 (9:09 am)
on my 91 5 spd escort wagon, the central seat belt just seems to come out loose when you pull it, [slowly or jerk it out]. Every once in a while, it engages when turning on curves or braking...but that is every once in a while. Is this the same among the wagons, or do your seat belts engage easily when pulling hard (the diagonal one, not the lap ones). If it is problematic, do you think it ie electrical or what? Thanks a lot
#402 of 423 93 Escort Wagon appears to be overheating by fnlcut Aug 21, 2007 (12:16 pm)
I have a 93 1.9L Escort wagon that appears to be overheating. I had a Ford mechanic tell me it need to run between 195 Degrees and 225 Degrees for the computer to work right. I checked the block with a non-contact thermometer and it's reading 223, but the temp gauge is red-lining. I have replace the temp sending sensor, the cooling fan relay, and the cooling fan itself, but none of it helped. Can anyone tell me why the gauge is saying it's getting hot when it's not? And what can I do about it? Thanks alot
