I have a new 2013 Ford Escape. It seems you have to hold the item down in the power socket or it doesn't connect. Any suggestions or this one defecti

I use the socket in the middle console and it works fine. I think you have a defective one.

I had a similar problem, but the "worm gear" solved one part of my concern, although my dials aren't working like they should (instead of going back and forth smoothly, they tend to go in "chunks."). Anyway, the people at the Ford Dealership told me that I'd been a new instrument panel, as some of the electric connections weren't making connection. My car is a '98, so I really don't want to sink a lot into it. Unless you know someone who is extremely knowledgeable about this, you way want to see what a reputable Ford dealership has to offer. Also, you may wish to subscribe to a "Ford Mustang Online Forum." Best wishes and hope this helps a little.

Hi Thomas, this is compatible with the Escape, all years except 2013. So it will work for any 2001-2012 Ford Escape Thanks.

You have power door locks right? That is required. Compare your tailgate latch mechanism to an F150 and if they look the same it should work. The step should be a non-factor. I have the step and other than being sure that you route your wire away from that mechanism, you should be fine. Pay attention to the wiring in the instructions. It seems that Ford changes the wire colors and routing every year.

I have a 2010 ford escape. I put them on the lower part of the grille or valance panel. Make sure you clean it good with a good cleaner. Hope this helps.

Remember to insert and then slide the key over and hold it while you squeeze the starting lever, then you can release the key. I have used mine for 3 months, but something I think is wrong with battery. I understand it may be the charger and not the battery. I am calling Worx soon. Up till then, it worked great.

Do you have one of the cars that require the key/engine on to power the cigarette lighter? Check and reset your auto fuse/breaker. If not tripped then bad contact/wire break somewhere. After that I have no suggestions.

To keep the unit sturdy, it is a very tight fit in the 12v socket. First I would make sure that you have it pushed in far enough to make connection. If that doesn't work you could do some troubleshooting. If the red light on the device is lit when you turn your car on, then the car is charging the device and it should turn on. If it doesn't turn on then I would return the device. If the red light does not turn on and you are sure the device is plugged in all the way, as discussed earlier, try a different car or a different socket. You may have blown the fuse in your car that controls the 12v socket. This is easily replaced (read your car manual or look it up online). Hope this helps!

Return it would be my best suggestion, get your money back now while you still can. According to the user manual the closest issue that it covers to the one you are describing is: 2. What to do if it can't start up? Answer: Please check whether you have installed the OBD II connector correctly, and whether you have turned on the power supply. So try it on another OBDII car if you can and verify it is not something wrong with your vehicle, then return it when you are certain it is a piece of junk.

That is exactly what I did. The harness was slightly different than the stock plug. It came with directions that allowed me to wire it in with no problems. There were some specific instructions about specific years of Ford trucks and the brake wire, but I was able to figure it out with the instructions and a simple voltage meter.

The motors that run the guages are shot. I bought a whole dash off eBay and mine works fine. Ford doesn't even make the motors anymore.

I've noticed it times out if not used. I ran power from my radio accessory feed so it doesn't stay on all the time. Some times I will have to turn the key off and then back on so it resets and connects.

This part fixed my problem(99 Ford F150). But could also be just a fuse or the power window motor is bad. I figured it out with info off the internet and youtube video. Good luck

With my ford escape I didn't need a code. I turned the key on and off 8 times, leaving it on the last time. Then the car locked and unlocked, at which pointI hit any button and it worked for my vehicle.

Are you trying to connect to PC? I used the android app named torque and worked fine, except for ford vehicles. i never tried on PC sorry

From what I understand, you need two working keys to program the new keys. I needed both my original keys to make the new keys work. You may need to contact your Ford dealer.
