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.
2003 Escape - Something causes flickering battery light and engine to miss
I am having problems with my 2003 Escape, it started with the gages going haywire going all the way to the max values back to zero then back to the proper position (like the car was resetting). Now the battery light flashes when I accelerate and the car starts to miss. I thought maybe it was a bad ground, but that didn't fix the problem. I had similar trouble last year when I had to replace the alternator, but I just have to hope it could be something else as that was quite a task. Any suggestions?
my car does the same exact thing...i just got the alternator replaced and some fuses fixed...hopefully it solves the problem. Did you ever figure out the problem?
Check the power and ground cables on your alternator i'd be willing to bet that one of them is loose if not both power and ground, if those are loose then i would check the connections to the starter as well. Hope that helps!
