DO NOT REMOVE IT THIS WAY! You will be paying 100 dollars for a new assembly once you crack it.

@1D10CRACY 3 года назад

Yup, if you are too forceful with it, it will break. You need to kind of carefully bump it, like I did in the video. Eventually age is going to make them too brittle and they are going to need to be replaced. In my opinion, it is a poor design. I'll pin this comment so other people know to be easy with it.

@adderon7476 2 года назад

Get out the super glue lol

@BrianRiesen Год назад

@@1D10CRACY 100% poor design, I agree. Just like with anything you're doing for the first time that requires a little force, start soft and gradually apply more force. Don't whole ape mode on it with the first blow ;)

@AsherTheAviator Год назад

@@1D10CRACY I wear rubber or latex gloves which enable me to slide it out quite easily without the "bump." That said, I can't imagine one breaking or cracking if someone carefully follows your video.

To be honest with you at work just fine thank you very much to the person who uploaded this video

@ajp1079 2 года назад

Couldn't get the light off til I saw your tip. My man will be happy I did this myself in about 5 mins because you posted this video and I'm so thankful 🙌

Perfect video. I didn't have to completely disconnect the taillight assembly, but A+ video nonetheless.

Thanks. Your video was VERY helpful, and made this easy for the non-mechanical. Your technique on hand placement when removing the lens was spot on!! Thanks! Bill

@karac8997 2 года назад

Hi there…thank you for the video. Just a question…so the brake light and the tail light are the same bulb? So when I brake it just illuminates more? I’m so confused as it looks like I have so many lights out in the back…

@tanwindersidhu3270 2 года назад

Thank you it was very helpful

@rongollonik7754 4 года назад

When replacing any bulb I suggest you wear heavy gloves when removing the old bulb in cas it shatters. Use a clean paper towel or cloth to insert the new bulb so that oils from your fingers do not get on the bulb glass which could cause a hot spot and premature burnout.

@garryahlgren6858 Год назад

you didn't show disconnecting/reconnecting the wiring plug. mine was dirty and I didn't know the disconnect mechanism for the plug was underneath and hard to find. you make this look easy, popping the tail light assembly was stuck and difficult

@alexandercove1194 2 года назад

My mechanic says it's only a passive lens and only houses a bulb for the white backup light....also according to the manual the above red tail light at the top of your lift gate is a lifetime one that shouldn't require replacing..too bad they couldn't all be like that

@TheAgentAssassin 4 месяца назад

The plug on ours seems hard to pull out. It's the 2018 model. Is there a clip I need to depress with a flat head or something? Don't want to force it.

@angelmaldonado5968 Год назад

@rindicavitch Год назад

HELP! Every thing worked perfectly until I got to the part when you pop the lense off. Just don't have enough power I guess. I have the bolts off, will it come apart to drive it to get the lense popped off?😬

@jackt6595 2 года назад

If you take off the one bolt below the two for the headlight, it loosens the plastic panel below the taillight making it trivial to remove.

@daleralston154 2 года назад

I took out the third bolt and it still wasn't trivial.

@lonestarlows 4 года назад

The real question is why are there so many people with ford escapes with burnt out tail lights. Probably a faulty harness that the manufacture doesnt want to recall

@jeffamonson9702 4 года назад

Why would that be? My 2013 burnt out in 2020

@gzaros 3 года назад

What is the purpose of the hard plastic plugs at 18 seconds? One flew out into another galaxy and can’t find it. Big deal if one is missing when reassembling?

"pull this plug" - near impossible w/o possibly breaking and there is no instruction on how to do this. Did anyone find the better way to fix /replace the bulb??

@1D10CRACY 8 месяцев назад

Which plug are you referring to? If you are referring to 1:10, there really isn't a "better" way, it's probably best to unplug it. The plug is a standard Ford plug with a built in release mechanism, you cannot just pull it apart.

@alexandercove1194 2 года назад

Thought there was a bulb which lit the red lens on the lift gate itself..y

@karac8997 2 года назад

Yes I am curious what lights are supposed to be on the lift gate as well…mine is dark and I don’t know what’s supposed to be there! Have you found any answers?

@andrewhankin5561 Год назад

@@karac8997 The clear lenses on the lift gate are reversing / backup lights that should shine white when the gear selector is in R with the engine running. The red section is for decoration only, no bulb, but you could add red LEDs in there or red reflective tape if you wanted to jazz-up the tail of your Escape ❗
