Ford EscapeThe Ford Escape has been thoroughly updated, reinforcing the character and appeal that have made it America's perennial best-selling small sport-utility vehicle. The improvements nearly cover the spectrum, and inject a new level of refinement. We'd call the Escape a little truck among small SUVs. Its new styling deliberately invokes Ford's larger, truck-based SUVs.
Haynes or Chilton's manual.
Autozone used to have wiring diagrams on their site. They upgraded teh look of the site and the diagrams are barely legible. I complained to them about that, maybe they improved the diagrams, if not perhaps if enough people complain to them, they will.
You may look in your owner's manual for a fuse chart.

I'm not a professional mechanic, take my suggestions with a grain of salt, or a cup of coffee

Thanks for your thoughts Joe?. Yeah, all I have right now is the owners manual which, along with 10 bits, will get you a cup of coffee, if you need to know anything more than what you teach your daughter about a vehicle. My next move is to Autozone for a Haynes - just thought maybe someone could save me the trip and 40 bucks. This is my son's wife's car and she's gone with it so I haven't been able to check anything yet. I suspect the feed to the kick panel fuse box is out, though I haven't had the opportunity to check it yet, and I need to know how that is fed.
Thanks - yeah, that's what I kinda figured happened, but I'll be dammed if I can track down the source of the problem. Here's what she's got:
Radio is dead
Dome lights are dead
Door locks work with accessory on but dead when off.
Trip odometer reset and not advancing
I haven't found anything else that doesn't work.
Yeah, I gave all the cartridge fuses a visual and pulled and tested those that could have anything to do with the above circuits. I didn't find anything nor did I expect to as those fuses feed other functions as well that are working. I also went through the central junction box and even tested the accessory relay as there's nothing to tell me just exactly what it controls. I'm baffled.

The Car Blog, or TCB for those who are acronymically inclined, is alive because some of today's top Web designers needed a place to drool and bitch about their motor vehicle obsessions.
