2008-2012 Ford Escape Rear Wiper Motor Replacement || Dead Battery Issue ||

[@Aric87]

Good video! Just an FYI, today I discovered on my 2012 Escape that if you remove fuse 19 from the passenger fuse box (25A fuse) it disables the rear wiper motor but still allows you to spray fluid on your front window. I'm not gonna bother fixing mine because I feel like it's unnecessary on such an old vehicle. I'm used to driving cars that don't have rear wipers anyway.

Hey man just to confirm. My 2008 ford escape is having the dead battery problem & I know it's the rear wiper blades drawing power. If i remove fuze 19 your saying it should stop the battery from dying?

[@fireman305]

Gonna try this since my battery keeps dying.

​@@bradleyg-ritchie1065Yes

[@yomommaahotoo264]

​@@bradleyg-ritchie1065 Just tried this and doesn't work unless the rear wiper motor harness is plugged INTO the motor.....which continues shorting.

lol @ 9 min! You're a life saver man thanks for this! Have the same issue on my escape and i knew it had something to do with the rear windshield wiper, thank you!

when he pulled out the Sawzall I died 😂

[@AshleeRasmussen-c4l]

Man I love your tutorial. Comedy, knowledge, some getting er done even if it's not the exact right way. I'm not using the Sawzall but I love it!

I had the same battery issue with my 2010 Escape, nice design Ford!

[@joshuatruchan9933]

Thanks for this. I just had this issue and couldn't understand why I could hear a clicking sound from the motor box after the wiper died mid use.

Thanks good job

Can you tell me if there’s a diagram to figure out where the power drainage is coming from using the multimeter?

[@NorthUbuild]

The best way is to pull each fuse 1 by 1 to see which device is draining your battery

[@yomommaahotoo264]

Simplest solution - Unplug the hot rear window wiper motor, jumper the green violet wire to the black and grey wire on the plug which is right next to it. Use a large metal paper clip. Now the defective motor mechanism is out of the circuit, but your front windshield washer still works.

[@NorthUbuild]

You can find it on Amazon or your local ford dealership or parts store
