Why are my Ford Escape rear trailer lights not working?
Years 2001-2007

Answer

Let's see in this guide the cause of the problem of the towing lights or the rear trailer not turning on on the Ford Escape first series; the brake lights in particular, but also the turn signals, do not seem to come on after the trailer and the electrical connector have been connected. The problem often seems to lie with a faulty trailer electrical plug; we then check the condition of the connector and the wiring, resetting them to solve the problem!
