In today’s video I’m showing you how to remove and install a battery into a 2015 Ford Escape. This tutorial works on model years 2013-2019.

If you rest your ratchet on the battery across the terminals like you did and your ratchet is all metal like an air powered tool, instead of plastic like yours you're going to bring back the 4th of July in your driveway. Big time melt down.
Ford sucks. It sucks, what else can you say. Why the fuck would anyone buy a Ford Escape after finding out they hide the ducking battery!!!!!
Well done. I hate this car. ! Thanks.
It may be easier for you to remove the negative cable nut from the firewall, then slide the battery out to remove cable from the negative post.
Then reverse the process to reinstall the negative cable.
Best video advice for this job. Thanks.
Who ever designed this should be shot.
How to turn a five minute job into a two hour project. Of course, Ford mechanics charge $120 per hour. This was dumb.
You gotta be fucking shitting me all that for a battery
Poor Escape. Too dirty that engine and around.
2015 Ford Escape for sale. Seriously, I’ll just give it to you.
Why did you do it that way? You didn't have to take the air filter off
pull the battery forward then remove the neg. cable !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
An absolute joke, I opened my hood today to see the battery lodged underneath, where the hell am I supposed to put the jumper cables.
This is neither quick, nor easy… But thanks for the how-to. I can hopefully get the current battery charged enough to drive it to a mechanic.
Ford is one useless motor company …
Who engineered this? Is there a way we can deport him/her?
Maybe is better to cut a hole on the under the dash to reach the battery faster?
Thanks for the help.
Worst thing about this car. My 2008 g6 is pretty easy to replace the battery. My wife’s 2007 Hyundai Elantra takes like 5 minutes to replace the battery. Ford Escape? Ridiculous. It was designed this way to make you come into the dealer to get your battery replaced.
Fuckin Ford
Oh yea very easy no you lying that is so complicated
i liked how the racket was across both positive and negative post, what is this guy thinking.
This is, by far, the worst instructional video on how to do this. Take off the wipers and go from the top. Took me 20 minutes. Adding 5 because I dropped a bolt and had to dig it out.
I did it pretty easy this way. Thanks alot for making video
