#82 of 87 97 ford escort electric issue by mamajewls Jun 15, 2009 (5:15 pm)
Hi! I have a 97 ford escort. We thought the alternator went out in the car. so we took it out and had it tested well its fine. we out a new battery in and it started right up, however, the wipers and the AC stopped working. So we changed the fuse on the wipers and as soon as we put it in and turned the ac and wipers worked. bery shortly after the fuse blew. we think it might be the wiring. anyone had this issue and if so how did you fix it??? thanks Replies to this message: westside01 (Oct 15, 2009 10:03 am)
#84 of 87 '94 Ford Escort LX Wagon by tazkbjr Oct 03, 2009 (11:24 am)
Hi- I have a '94 Ford Escort LX Wagon (Automatic), with about 57,000miles. I have been having trouble the last few months with it. When the car gets to a high RPM in 1st gear, it just shuts off and won't re-start. I took it to my mechanic, and they figured out that the fuse for the fuel injectors keeps breaking. It has now been at the Ford dealer for about 2 months, and they can't figure out what is wrong either. Any comments or assistance you could provide would be awesome! Thanks!

Replying to: mamajewls (Jun 15, 2009 5:15 pm) I Have a Ford Escort 94 LX Wagon. I had luck fixing with these issues this past week. There is a relay in the engine on the right side facing the driverside. I replaced this and it was helpful - purchased one at the junk yard. Also I have a wagon and it has a wiring harness that goes from the rear body into the rear hatch. The harness was cut / pinched by the door and it had effected all of my whole car. The tail lights failed , rear wiper stayed on , door locks always up and down, blowing headlight / tailight fuses, fuel pump promlems, step on break while driving dim lights and releasing safety switch on power train. Bottom line check rear hatch and all door to see if wire are damaged behind that boot. I started out 2 years ago with this problem and I resolved the issue by having help from others on the site. When I first noticed the problem 2 years ago it started with my main fuse box fusing together behind the fuses under the dash - had to replace this as well -junk yard. Bottom line you have something fused, broken wires and something grounding out.
#86 of 87 No Dash Lights/Rear Lights by stealthmc Oct 27, 2009 (11:02 am)
Hello All, I have a 2000 Ford Escort and I appear to have no brake lights, while they do not illuminate when I turn the front lights on, also the dash board lights do not work. However the head lights,radio,cigarette lighter still okay. Strange in that I replaced a blown fuse (dash) yesterday and as soon as I turned key back on it blew right away.    I appear to have a similar problem to others in the thread and would be grateful for any help.    Thanks in advance.

Replying to: stealthmc (Oct 27, 2009 11:02 am) That is definitely a short.   You should be able to turn the lights on without having the key in the ignition. So, try replacing the fuse and turning on the running lights (no headlights, but marker, tail lights, and dash/console lights will illuminate). If it blows again, the short is in that circuit, if it it does not, the short is in something that is switched with the ignition. Also, you have "accessory" and "on"; does it blow at accessory, or at on?   I apologize that I cannot be more help; these electrical gremlins just require a lot of time and effort to hunt down. Also, do your brake lights not work (pressing brake pedal) or your tail lights, or both?
