A dead battery in your Ford Escape can be frustrating, especially when you need to open the trunk. But don’t worry, there is a way to open the trunk without having to jumpstart the car or call for assistance.
Step 1: Locate the Trunk Release
The first step is to locate the trunk release button. In most Ford Escape models, the trunk release button is located on the driver’s side door panel. However, in some models, it may be located on the dashboard or on the key fob.
Step 2: Remove the Cover
Once you have located the trunk release button, you will need to remove the cover. The cover can be removed by gently prying it with a flathead screwdriver or your fingernail.
Step 3: Use a Jump Box
If your Ford Escape has a dead battery, you will need to use a jump box to power the trunk release button. A jump box is a portable battery charger that can be used to jumpstart your car.
Step 4: Connect the Jump Box
To connect the jump box, simply attach the positive and negative cables to the corresponding terminals on the jump box. Then, connect the positive cable to the positive terminal on the car battery and the negative cable to a metal surface on the car.
Step 5: Press the Trunk Release Button
Once the jump box is connected, press the trunk release button on the driver’s side door panel or on the dashboard. The trunk should pop open, allowing you to access your belongings.
It’s important to note that using a jump box can be dangerous if not done correctly. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and take proper safety precautions.
