Passenger Compartment Fuse Block
Engine Compartment Fuse Block

The Ford Escape has been produced from 2000 to the present across four generations with various engine configurations, including hybrid powertrains. It is also sold in the European market as the Ford Maverick. The first generation was manufactured for model years 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007, during which it received a mid-cycle refresh. The second generation was assembled for model years 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012. Because it retained the underlying platform architecture, the layout and location of the fuse and relay blocks are identical for both the first and second generations. Below is a detailed breakdown of the 1st and 2nd generation Ford Escape fuses and relays, complete with block diagrams and photos. The fuse for the "Cigarette lighter" (auxiliary power outlet) is highlighted in bold.

Note: Fuse block designs, relay layouts, and component assignments on the Ford Escape (Ford Maverick) may vary from the diagrams shown depending on the model year, trim level, and target market region.

Passenger Compartment Fuse Block

The interior fuse panel is located underneath the passenger-side dashboard behind a protective access cover. To open, insert a flat-head screwdriver into the notch on the cover and gently pry it off.
