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.

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!!

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.

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!

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

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!

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

Thanks, man. Nice and short. Perfect execution.

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.

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!

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!

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!!

Thank you so much! I will say I had to struggle like crazy to get the assembly out. The bottom grommet would not release. I did see that it has to come straight out, but mine was fighting. It must be particular to my car because I’ve watched all the videos, and it seems like people just pulled them all out easily. It took a while, but I now have a working turn signal!!! I appreciate your video greatly!

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

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.

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

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!

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.

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. 👍

[robertkeck]

Thank you so much. It took me all of 5 minutes (maybe). It was every bit as easy as it looks in your video.
