To remove the bulb, first of all unpack the rear tail lamp housing, unscrew it and make it tilted downwards to get better access to the bulb connection point. Turn off the electrical connectors and take out the bulb-timely retrofit involves the opposite procedure. For the rear side marker light bulb, those of 2004 and earlier require dismantling the whole of the tail lamp housing, crawling the hand through the rear lens cavity to find the bulb socket and twist anti--clockwise and replace it with the new one, while 2005 and models require locating the rear compartment carpet side trim, and by applying some force on a tab provided, the rear side marker assembly should pop-off and twisting to remove The front turn/park lamp and side marker bulb of the Ford Escape model 3 can be accessed by doing the following: raise and support the front part of the car, remove the lower close out panel of the fascia, and the brake caliper /rotor cooling ducts need to be moved slightly if necessary to expose the bulb socket. Where the front side marker bulb requires replacement, one simply hold the bulb housing as they twist it in an anti-clockwise direction until tabs are engaged in placing it back. For the front turn signal and parking lamp, one just needs to twist it like a bulb to remove the housing. In order to change the fog lamp bulb, lift the car, unscrew the lower fascia close-out panel, and to reach the bulb socket, shift the brake caliper/rotor duct. The high mount center stop lamp is an LED assembly; you will have to take one of the inner tail lamp housings, to take off one of the electrical connectors, and to unscrew the assembly from the fascia. When replacing the high mount center stop lamp with a spoiler one must take off the trim panel, then disconnect the electrical connector, remove the screws that fix the light fixture to the spoiler. For license plate and back up lamp bulbs the process is a little different for the models prior to 2004 and those manufactured after 2004, in the older models the inner tail lamp housing needs to be pulled out to get at the bulbs and in the newer models screws have to be unscrewed from the license plate lens fixture. Another way for the backup lamp replacement is to detach the license plate and take the frame off. The interior bulb circuit has a number of courtesy lamps that made involve special procedures, and some of those are the instrument panel courtesy lamp removal, rear view mirror courtesy bulb, vanity mirror bulb, glove box courtesy lamp, under hood courtesy lamp, and rear section courtesy lamp, all of which require the same procedure as in prying off covers or reaching in to pull out the bulbs, as in installation is the reverse of the removal.
