The Ford Escape has been produced from 2000 to the present in 5 generations with various engine modifications, including hybrid ones. Also known as Ford Maverick in the European market. 1st generation was produced in 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007. During this time, the car has received an update. It did not receive any fundamental design changes, therefore the location of the fuse and relay boxes for the first and second generations is the same. In our material you will find a description of fuses and relays Ford Escape 1 / Ford Maverick, with box diagrams and photographs. Separately, we note the cigarette lighter fuse.
The design of the boxes and the purpose of their elements in Ford Escape (Ford Maverick) may differ from the one presented and depends on the year of manufacture, the level of equipment and the country of delivery.
