Replacing a Ford Escape Rear Turn Signal

How to replace a rear turn signal bulb on a Ford Escape. This is a 2012 model but I believe it is the same for most models.

[@sharkbite5613]

I'm a total.nervous wreck/over thinker when something goes wrong with my vehicle. I was so unsure, had no confidence in my self, but I had the bulb already and watched this video. I feel sooo happy it only took me a couple minutes. It was so easy! I know it sounds dumb. To experienced mechanics and such but, I felt Soo proud of myself!!! Thank you!!

[@brucebruceish]

Coincidentally, it was rear the left/driver side i needed to replace. Thank you, James!

[@techtechonsunsetstrip]

It’s the second time I’ve visited here to learn how to change the bulb in the past 3 years. Thanks for the video - it’s really helpful.

[@pepsico815]

Videos like these where it gets straight to the point are hidden gems

[@etucker5007]

Great video! took me 15 minutes to drive to Autozone, buy a bulb, and put it in. Saved me probably $40 dollars and 2 hours if I brought it to a mechanic.

[@houckola84]

Thanks, man. Nice and short. Perfect execution.

[@limalimalimalima]

Agree 100%

[@marvinhoodjr82]

Bro! It cost me $8 and took me 1:49 of my time to watch the video, and 4 minutes of my time to replace the back left blinker bulb and since I had 2 replacement bulbs and was at it, the back right blinker bulb in my 2011 Escape. Excellent how to video! A huge Thank You!

[@joekluk6066]

Thanks Bud! I didn't know which of the 2 bulbs was turn signal, your suggestion to turn on hazards showed me which one was working on the right and not working on the left! Great job!

[@wisdom-for-life]

Thanks man! I noticed the double speed blinking and it took me a while to figure out it was the bulb going out (only noticed when I hit the alarm button and it was the only light that didn't light up).
Great tutorial - quick, simple, and no fluff. You're the MVP!

[@hankthomas5966]

THANK YOU !! I went on line and there were 37 different (maybe not quite that many) explanations about how to fix this problem. YOUR explanation is SHORT, ACCURATE and makes it EASY!!

[@21Swayzee]

This was a super helpful video, nice and short and to the point! Showing the bulb number and package was super handy and saved me a ton of time in the auto shop.

[@jguytarist]

Brother Dunne glad I could help

[@21Swayzee]

Thanks again!

[@ThomasFreeMe]

😢😊😊😊😊

[@KB-lv7ib]

Thank you. Nice and easy. This 70 year old grandmother was able to change that light by myself. Saved me lots of money. Thanks again.

[@WareWithAll]

This is the reason I love TH-cam. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and helping others!

[@rodneydean44]

It was the exact syptoms I was experiencing, and the fix was quick and perfect! Thank you so much for sharing.

[@brittnay279]

Thank you so much. People who make helpful videos like this don’t get enough credit on TH-cam. Every time I have to change my turn signal I come here, so thanks for taking the time!

[@loriidol8330]

Perfect! I didn't realize how much I had to pull on the housing. These were very easy to follow directions. It was an original bulb. All other bulbs are ok, for now. Thank you!

[@birderwitch]

Thanks for refreshing my memory on how to change this bulb! Had to do it a couple years ago but needed the reminder :) Clean, clear, simple instructions and video. You ROCK!

[@nurzbatch3478]

Thank you from New York; after watching your video I was able to change my left back bulb in like 5 min and do it with confidence.

[@NoviceDIYerNoel]

I have to watch this again because last time it was my left turn signal wasn't working. Now I have to replace the right turn signal. Thank you for this very helpful video. 👍

[@TiffanyMoore8701]

Wow I'm a 30 something yr old female and I was able to do this with no problem at all thanks to you❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉 so thankful I don't have to go sit through someone charging me for something so simple.

[@MyViewFrom202]

[@monikdrakovac805]

[@kirkfortin2103]

Thanks for the great video, had this done in 5 minutes! Now i cant be an Ahole anymore switching lanes without my turn signal!

[@heidimayer9243]

Thank you! Short, complete, well described. Worked perfectly for me saving me time and money. Was so very simple thanks to you.

[@ccroy2001]

It's always my left rear, every few years. I think all the other bulbs are the originals!

[@timmneeley4301]

It's water getting into it from the back glass. Try replacing the weather stripping.

[@Fishtank33]

Same!

[@zynlove6867]

Same here, hmmm

[@alpaljl]

Perfect video. Short & sweet and to the point!

[@barryotto5284]

Thank you, your tutorial was very easy to follow.

[@ajrenee3450]

Thank you! I used this to fix my car. I feel so much safer now.

[@mu99ins]

Thanks for the info. Good job with the presentation. You solved the problem of what to do when the 2 screws are removed.

[@BoMwarriorVlog]

😃👍👍 Short, to the point, uses vocal words to explain process, and camera shows exactly the locations one might have questions about.
(only complaint is that it becomes a vertical video at one point 😉)

[@chuckwilkinson686]

Great video. Thanx so much for the complete info including the part number for the bulb! took about 5 minutes to do the job.

[@dalmar004]

Straight to the point, no bull. Thanks man !

[@zuko7642]

Thanks for the quick fix video James!

[@jtw.111]

Thank you for this video! My left turn signal and brake light stopped working, but the regular tail light still worked, so I guess it was just one of the filaments that was bad. But it works now :D

[@robbingel9358]

Nice and clear. Worked like a charm. Thank you!

[@Wenvolt]

Thanks this was very helpful and easier than I thought!!

[@alyssabrich2527]

super easy to follow thank you!!!!

[@timelessadventurer]

Thanks so much for this video! Mine just went out today. TH-cam is incredible!

[@mtbaker13]

Thank you. Very helpful. But you should tell folks to squeeze the bulb around the grey casing to get it out. It looks easy when you do I with one hand but it took me awhile to figure it out.

[@Heartbeat_Adventures]

great tutorial!

[@stephanienazar25]

Thanks so much for this video. Ive used it twice already lol

[@davidshaffer834]

Excellent rundown

[@diannelehouxsmith3412]

Thanks it was super easy with your instructions!

[@Surveillance-]

I don't get it. Who would dislike this video? Too stupid to figure out the screws? Helped me fix gf's light

[@brittnay279]

You could post a video of the cutest dog ever doing the cutest thing ever and someone would dislike it...the internet is toxic lol

[@TheSupradvr]

Thanks buddy helped me save money!

[@Bobbynich]

You the man. Had to watch again when the other side went out hah, thanks

[@valerianpantsulia5137]

Good video and greeting explanation, thank you🤗

[@stevengitmed1820]

Thanks again for your help

[@arizonamando2294]

Thanks for putting this up!

[@QNCSFT]

Thanks. Mine just went out today.

[@PuppetMissy]

THANK YOU! I’m so excited I did that myself!!! You rock.

[@AnthonyCashmanHC]

Thanks. This was perfect.

[@mapletreerocker]

Thank you for the video!!

[@Bobcatspiritdude]

Pro tip . Wear some type of glove as to not get the oils from your skin on the bulb . Helps it last longer! Peace

[@pennyhrynchuk5381]

Perfect instructions thank you

[@vickijelinek532]

This Grandma thanks you!!!

[@alexandriabirk3793]

Worked for our 2008 model, but with the 08, it didn't have grommets, I believe.

[@anastasiae.5338]

Damn, I thought there was a reason my turn signal was blinking faster than normal on one side, but didn't bother to look up why. Got pulled over today for not having a turn signal on the left side. I remember years ago knowing why (probably because it was an issue then) but completely forgot it since.
I'm hoping this is easier than trying to replace the windshield wipers, because talk about annoying.
Also thanks for pointing out where the hazards are located, because I went crazy a day ago trying to locate it. Most of my cars have a really obvious button that's red and right there on the panel. Also, talk about annoying.

[@karolynstasny3694]

Helped a lot! Thanks for the informative video :)

[@Pillin123]

great explanation video!
