you can't do the pulling 1 fuse at a time thing on a newer vehicle with multiple modules that power down at different times, it just doesn't work that way anymore. If you can access online manuals look up the battery drain test , if not you have to unhook the negative cable and put a jumper wire between the cable and battery , then wait 15-30 minutes for all modules to power down , then hook an ammeter inline between the battery neg cable and neg post ( or in this case with as big a draw as you have use an old tail lamp socket with an 1157 bulb or something similar) but hook this up BEFORE you break the circuit between the battery and cable or you will have to start all over again. Normal draw should be less than 25-50 milliamps. This will usually not make a test light glow at all, but the draw you seem to have should make it glow bright, then you can start pulling fuses to see when it goes away, don't forget to open the door and close the latch so the dome light circuit won't be drawing current and prevent modules from shutting down , do this first thing when you start with the cable unhooking . Just remember that if you unhook the wire between the battery and cable without having the other wire with your ammeter or light hooked up you open the circuit and the module power down process has to start all over. Happy hunting. And if I remember right some of those years Escapes had problems with the "smart junction box" AKA fuse box in the console area.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: JB Weld - by Staff. JB Weld is basically an epoxy glue that does an exceptionally good job of bonding to cast iron and steel along with several other materials. As I mentioned, it is so common that I have yet to buy a tractor that did not have JB Weld used somewhere. It is sometimes used so well you can't tell its there and other times used as a sloppy quick fix. Finding where and how it can be used correctly is key to whether you are using it as an "inelegant hack" or an integral solution to difficult and expens
