Most complicated battery change I ever did, but this video made it painless.
That part I swear 😂
What a good straight to the point and quick video. Love it when there's no BS. Thank you!
Thanks buddy. This will be the last Ford I own.
If you think that's going to keep you from having some items that take a little more effort to service, you'll be in for a surprise. This wasn't that bad, and if you only have to do it every 4-5 years, it's not that big of a deal.
I've made that decision in 2010 and have NEVER looked back. Chevrolet, Toyota, and Mitsubishi is what ive owned since then. Although the Toyota can be a headache sometimes, it's nothing like that Ford bs. Never, ever again in my life. Oh yeah and Chevy, God bless Chevy for making my life easy. Tahoe to be exact.
Get a chevy or dodge if you want to be consistently stranded
Never buy an American car
@@JoseRamirez-yh2llthe truth is they are all garbage these days as they all source their parts like sensors, etc. from the same parts bin suppliers and manufacturers make it more complicated trying to force people to come to the dealership for service. Society in general has been going down the toilet and that includes the car industry too. Nothing is made to last these days without problems to gouge more money from your wallet. Just think of all the extra cash governments collect on the sale of car parts. It’s all by design and yet they preach that carbon is killing the environment. Hypocrites.
@@trutru9018 a friend has a Toyota Yaris cross. To replace the starter battery in that is harder than this, and guess what? You can ONLY use the GENUINE Toyota battery!
$700 thank you very much!
Whoever designed this engine needs to be jailed.
and be forced to change Ford escape batteries for free while incarcerated
Leave it to Ford to make a 5 minute battery replacement an hour event
Yes😂😂😂😂
The 08-12 were simple
Fuck were in the auto zone parking lot cause no one in town will frickin do it and Ford cannot get us in till next week what a fucking joke
😂
New GMs are in the tire well area lol
Best video so far, seems a lot of people take off the air filter housing and go through the front but this is the best video for a top down approach with basic tools. Thanks!
I agree. Those other videos try to claim that they are the easy way, and I might have tried that method, but (fortunately) I didn't have the tool to be able to get to the negative terminal. Once I saw this video, I realized this is the easier way, with much better access to the negative terminal, which is especially helpful when you need to clean it.
That was what I was thinking how it came out
@@timinateryou didn't have a 10mm socket?
To take it out through the front you only need an 8mm socket for the air cleaner box, a trim tool or screwdriver and a 10mm socket for the battery terminals and the hold down bracket.
All pretty basic tools IMO.
This short video helped a great deal. I thought "It looks like I have to take the wiper arms off- that can't be right". But it is.
Quick note: the wiper arms use a 15mm nut and the cowl bolts use 8mm nuts. The others are as stated in the video. I thought this was going to be a much more difficult task than it was.
Also, dielectric grease is available at any auto parts store.
Everyone read this comment.
Please, except my thanks! It took me just as long to take out that battery as it did for you to make this video. About three minutes lol that was perfect. Some other videos were wanting me to take the air filter off and other parts lol. Thanks again.!!!!
Short and directly to the point. Perfect video. Thanks!
Straight to the point and No B.S.! Very well done, Thank You!
My wife's 2013 Escape battery just died. Thank you for posting this video. When I go to install the new battery I know what to expect. Again, thank you!
Thank you sir, shame on ford for making changing a battery so damn hard
This was pretty quick. I had really subpar tools and it took about 90 minutes. Thanks for sharing, you saved me a ton of money.
Glad I found this video. My battery just died in my 2016 Escape, will be replacing it tomorrow.
I appreciate the straight forward and efficient approach and method. I did have trouble getting the wiper arms back on correctly and had to search for another video on that. Thanks man!
Thanks for this video. To the point. Neighbor's car battery took a dump. They spent all day trying to jump it. Took me a minute to find remote negative 🤣
So awesome to look up how to do this and I find a video from one of my favorite car rescue guys. Tell your dog I said hi!
Thanks for this video! Had a customer come in like, 10 minutes before closing, wanting the battery changed. Without this video, i probably would have broken some stuff (mainly my sanity)
I’ve done both methods, this way was much easier than removing the air filter. You do need to bring wiper motor to resting position and line up wipers when reattaching otherwise won’t work properly. Most videos leave that part out. Plus, don’t forget battery reset.
Thanks. Just changed mine in the O'Reilly parking lot.
Perfect video. Straight to the point, fast, informative. I wish we had more videos like this
Mate, this video saved me $ and/or a proper headache, you absolute legend, thank you.
Thanks man,was about to start removing air filter box ect ... from info in other tubers vid and checked out yours.Good god glad I did !!!!! subbed !
Great to hear you found it helpful and thanks
Another one of Ford's not-better ideas! Just like the rear cargo light on the side wall, as soon as you set a bag of groceries, the light is blocked! It should be up top. I love you made this a fast video, I hate watching a video that they drag out for 30 minutes. ps, my 2016 uses a 15 mm on the wiper blade nut. A method that worked for me removing them, I loosened the nut about several turns, then I used a prybar and just used a light amount of upward pressure under the arm at the mount, then I used a rubber hammer and tapped on the nut, before reinstalling the wiper arms, turn the car on, then back off, it will reset the resting location of the arms.
I've now done this both ways and I recommend the way it's done in the video. Slightly more involved than going through the airbox, but the work is more straightforward and you'll feel better about yourself afterward. Just loosen wiper nut about half way then smack the nut with a hanner while you hold the wiper arm below with a big screwdriver or pry bar. Once you get the cowl opened up, it's WAYYYY easier to deal with the battery.
Wow that’s amazing. This is indeed the fastest way to replace The battery. The Auto Store where I bought my battery said. Sorry we cannot change your battery because how it’s placed. So glad you shared this . Thank you.
Glad it helped!
Great job thanks for making a huge issue easy. Thank you
No nonsense, just the goods, you the man. Thank you!!
Thanks, this was easy and I'm not the most mechanically talented person........a lot better than moving everything else.
Thanks, when I first opened the hood, I thought the task was impossible. With your clear directions it was a piece of cake! Thanks
Best video on the subject. Thanks for making it fast, to the point and clear. BRAVO!
Awesome video. Followed it and was able to complete the task in 30 mins. Thanks a lot 🙏
This is the best way to do this, it is not difficult and you can get access to everything and clean out the grills as well
Please accept my thanks. It took me just as long to swap out my battery as it did for you to make this video lol. Two or three minutes! Others wanted me to remove the air filter and other things. Thanks again this video was great!
You didn't do this in 2 or 3 minutes.
Thank you for this video as stealership wanted 300 for battery and 120 for labour
Thank you! This short video will save me $100.00 (buying from COstco and DIY vs buying from a parts store and they install "for free". Thank you again! Next time you're in Mineral, Va let me buy you a beer or 3.
Great to hear the video was helpful and saved you some money! That's payment enough! Makes me very happy to hear this video is still helping people
Great video, thanks. My new to me 2014 Escape needed a new battery.
Thank you, what a cluster lol. Helped make my life easier today!
Auto store said they can't change these batteries or the ones where you need to pull a tire, damn engineers
Funny how quick this is and Autozone cannot do it 🤦🏻♀️. Thanks for the very easy video, I’ll be learning this myself ❤.
Its worth mentioning that if you havent replaced the shifter linkage bushing yet, then pull the airbox and pull the battery forward while replacing the linkage bushing. Given the bushing fails and the shifter does nothing, its probably worth replacing the bushing with every battery replacement.
This was what I thought it would be. Thanks for the quick vid.
Chris, I only just discovered your second channel after being a subscriber to your main channel for a year. Got to say I'm thankful you showed this. I did this job on my 2015 last year and got reamed out on reddit for doing it this way! I chuckled when one poster said I shouldn't be working on cars when I'm a test engineer for Cummins lol
I think this is actually the method Ford prescribes in their service manual. Sometimes Reddit geniuses aren't as smart as they think they are!
Seems like this would be a better way. Less to go wrong. Drop something into the intake and you’re screwed. Worst case this way you break a clip. Idiots on Reddit will prob also give you torque specs for the battery terminals while at the same time have a no crank no start and not check the terminals first
Thank you so much, doing this today!!! Rather go this was then removing the air filter and all that other jazz. Much appreciated!!
Tyvm saved me a ton of money
Thank you for this, my battery died at work today because of the cold weather, tomorrow Im changing it myself. 🤞
Wife's car needed a new battery and this video was a huge help. I suppose you could remove the air box as well. Either way its done!
I went through the Airbox the first time. After watching this and trying it myself, I'll never do it again on this vehicle. Took 30 min in and out so simple.
This is still a valid video in 2024🎉🎉🎉
Video is saving me $100 omg thank you bro❤️❤️❤️❤️
This seems to be the better of two ways. Thanks for the option - it made the difference.
Thanks brother saved me a lot of trouble 😀
Happy to help!
Might be worth adding a little more detail on the “make sure you know where the wiper blades line up” to “you should recalibrate your wiper blades before reinstall or you could strip the threading inside the arm, not have functional wipers and have to buy completely new wiper arms”
Youre correct this process is time consuming, but is simple. Better than taking out the air filter. 2 wipers. 7 clips, 4 bolts 2 nuts
To remove the air filter is two 8mm screws.
For all those saying this is difficult, check out what's involved in replacing a front turn signal bulb!
Thanks bro...excellent instructions.
Mr. Ford - why?
You are awesome you got straight to the point easy explanation I love it thank you for showing me how to do it 😀
Thank you so much. Your video helped me a lot. But it is kinda stupid a lot of work to just replacing the battery you know
thank you very much, but let me just say WTF...seriously...what possible reason does it need to be that involved...GD engineers
Life saver ❤ Thank you so much! I greatly appreciate you
Wow,not as bad as i suspected. Bad enough with the goofy design but escape is a great little car despite a few issues like those back wheels that wear on the inside.
I dont work on cars too often but this only took me about an hour. Worst part were the wiper arms.
Great video! Thank you For making it simple!
Fuk it's 26 degrees outside and I have do all that bs. Thanks for the video
I replaced the battery in a 2013 focus and 2020 continental where the battery is near the firewall and just removed the air cleaner assembly
Money saver right here. Thanks
Great tutorial 👍
Can also pull out the air box and pull the fuse panel up and away and get the battery out that way also 😊
You made removing those wipers look easy
Fyi, my 2016 escape titanium had 15 mm nuts on the wipers.
Thanks for making this 2 minutes and not 10
quick and easy thank you brother
Awesome video. My only disagreement is the size of some of the nuts. Mine were 15 not 14, and some were 8 not 10. But that could be the difference in year, mine is 2013 not 2016. But this is way easier than removing the air filter box. Thanks for the help!
This is the right way. Screw pulling out the air box
dang you actually made a video I NEEDED to watch vs wanted to watch 😛
I just saw a video that shows the same vehicle’s battery change without having to remove the wipers. You remove the air filter and go in through the front. It seem to be a bit less labor intensive. You can even change the air filter in the process if you need to.
Thanks!
Still, its an absolute cluster fuck of engineering and design.
I froze my ass off doing this today. 1.5 hrs
Grrr....
i wanted to know how to do this&now i doTHANK YOU.
I appreciate you!!
So quick n easy. Thanks!
You are a hero!!!
Thanks for fast video,but there is another way by open lock then pull the battery case
Thank you for the instruction
Fast and easy. Thanks bro
Great job I like your video master
Whenever I put the windshield wipers back on they won’t go back to the resting position whenever I use them any reason why
Exvrllent, but if it has a larger stop start battery the front b battery box has to be opened to accommodate
You are a life saver
your the best ty
Awesome video
LOL.... "Fast" and "Ford Escape battery replacement" do not belong in the same sentence.
Great video bud
Thanks
Dude, I love the quick directions! As soon as I figure out how to subscribe, I’ll do it. GREAT FORMAT!
🙏🏽 thank you
Thank you.
Let me just be clear about one thing, this is a abridged version of replacing the battery. Directions are precise and very clear, but the actual labor time is gonna run you about 2-3 hrs total.
Ahhh yes, I love having to have a 10mm socket and how to take and put back the whole wiper blade to get a jump.
There’s a ground cable to the right of the battery if you just need a jump or you can use any bare piece of metal for the ground. This is just if you need to replace the entire battery
@@bsm652000 I’ve been thinking about this comment since I left, I made a brash assessment and didn’t do my research, I appreciate you pointing that out. I just got caught up in the anger lol.
It’s easier to take the battery out, taking out the air filter and the air filter box soon as that’s how you can pull the battery up easy took me 10 minutes
Why didn't they keep the t where the 08-12 was .....?
Perfect!
Tried that but can't get the battery out. The space is too tight or maybe I am just weak. Idk. Lol
You do have to tilt the battery quite a bit to get it in/out, even though you're usually told not to tip them.
@@georgerife8729 yes I did figure out a way which involves taking out the airbox. After that the battery is very easy to slide out ^_^
