    First: lifesaver love the detailed Barney explanation. Second: there is no way you can tell me they put that battery there for any reason other than to make you go to a ford dealership to get it replaced.

      Personal preference, I prefer removing the wipers and cowl. It takes about the same time and there isn't the risk of breaking the MIDI fuses that are connected to the wiring harness you have to move, which causes a no-start condition.

    This video was most helpful. I had to deal with this when my battery unexpectedly died this weekend. I usually have the guys at the auto parts store replace batteries but this time I had to deal with it. Fortunately, I am somewhat handy.
    That said, you should never have needed to make this video!!!!
    The designers of this car should be ashamed of themselves for putting the battery in such a hard to get to place that requires engine parts to be removed. Anyone should be able to look at a car battery and be able to replace it in just a few minutes without removing anything beyond the tie down.

      After install you can press fog light 5 times and hazard light 4 times to reset battery. Not sure what it does tho. Battery sign should go on and off a few times in dash.

    Exactly what I needed. I was a little pissed off that I needed an ASE certification to replace the battery on this thing but it really wasn't that bad. Gave me a chance to clean out debris from that portion of the bay and change the filter while I was at it. A ratcheting 10mm battery terminal wrench and some long ratchet extensions made this job much easier. Great video! 👍

    I can’t believe a shop near me wants to charge $400 for parts and labor to do this. My daughter in law told me that’s how much they wanted.
    I am an aircraft mechanic so she asked me if I’d do it.
    $170 for the battery before discount. 1/2 an hour of work.
    Thanks for the video. It always helps to watch another experience mechanic do the job before going out there to reinvent the wheel.

    My son and I did his 2014 Ford Escape battery replacement a few days ago. I am very handy and have many tools and enjoy working on vehicles, appliance repairs, etc. let me tell you straight, this is not a job for 2/3 of DIYers. The video is excellent but really doesn’t show the difficulty in accessing various nuts, bolts, etc that need to be removed. First off, you need a 13 mm deep socket for removing neutral cable on firewall, thankfully a 9/16” worked asI didn’t have a deep 13 mm socket with me at his garage. Even removing the 8 mm battery tie down holder is time consuming but a ratchet wrench worked fine. The air filter box removal is a struggle, lots of strength needed to unseat the bottom pins as everything is so tight.
    We got it done but count on 90-120 minutes from start to finish. It was 0C or 32F here.
    On reviewing the windshield wiper and cowling removal alternative method, I think I would use that procedure next time as long as you are careful with wiper removal and indexing location of wiper position.
    I can certainly see why a dealer would charge 1-2 hours for this as there is no quick way following factory method as shown. Autozone and others are wise to refuse to do a free battery swap on these Ford Escapes. Way too much time as well as risk of breaking something.

    This is a GREAT video. Two additional suggestions: First, when you pull the battery forward, the shoulder on the bottom of the battery tray keeps the battery from sliding out. A small pry bar under the battery allowed it to slide all the way forward. Once I got the negative cable loose and out (I unplugged the sensor wire to the negative cable block.) Second: After running the negative cable end through the bench wire brush, I reassembled per the video. Just as I was about to reconnect the negative cable to the firewall, I saw I forgot to reinstall the negative cable end sensor that should have been plugged in BEFORE reassembling the battery top bracket. After 20 minutes of trying to fish the cable back to the back, I took a break. When I returned, I removed the battery hold down bracket, which then allowed me to get my hand in there. Upon further inspection, I had been trying to push the connector on backwards! I rotated it 180 degrees and it snapped right on!! Great repair, poor Ford design. Thanks for this professional video. The factory manual is usually a bit more reliable than all of the DIY remedies!

    Great video. This method is by far the better method than the video which shows taking off the wipers, engine cover/rain shield pan etc.. When I first bought the 2013 Escape the battery failed after four years and I said no problem and started. Well, I started just like your video but I got to a point where the battery tray would not come out. Well, you went through the steps and lifted out the battery tray. Well, it doesn't lift out as easily as it looked when you did it. Finally, I realized that two grommets (?) have to be somewhat yanked out. Then, after that tug, yank, or strongarm pull, it worked just like you said. The other difficult part, as least for a 1st timer, was getting the air inlet from the front of the car to the air filter removed. After some study it wasn't nearly as hard as I was making it. Now I've done it, I could do it in about 20 minutes tops. Thanks for the video. I'm am most pleased with myself. And you!

    This is much easier way of doing it than the first time I did it. (This video you shared, is actually the way the dealership does it) The first time I did this, I found some DIY video which shows removing the wiper blades, the black trey/clips and unscrewing the break fluid tank, in order to access the battery. It worked, but took for ever to take apart and put back together. Thanks for sharing this.

    My daughters 2017 may have had the original Ford battery in it. I've heard of stock batteries lasting 7 years but never an after market.
    I cut the end out of the hole on the left of the battery strap so that hard to reach nut don't have to come all the way off to get the strap out.
    And zip tied the harness back in as opposed to fooling with those aggravating push in harness fasteners. Those were way too hard to get out on her car. Lot of unnecessary stress on the wires. I won't have to fool with that again.
    Thanks for sharing! I've never seen a car where a video was needed to change the battery! Use to a crescent wrench would do in a pinch but even then I preferred to use the correct wrench.

Beyond that it is a great video that really assists the DIY kinda person to get through this chore.

    My 2015 Escape was a bit different. The temperature sensor housing has a second intake tube that blocks the forward screw. However, that second tube snaps out and then you can remove the forward screw.
    You might notice too that he never explicitly says to move the brake fluid reservoir, but sometimes in the video its in place while other times it has been moved. Mine was in way, so it probably does need to be moved.
    The next problem is that although you can remove the air filter housing with the intake hose and temperature sensor housing in place, you can't see to reinstall it. There are small hoses that have to be moved out of the way to seat the air filter rear attachment into the rubber socket. You'll have to remove the intake hose and sensor housing to see what you're doing.
    Also, he didn't show how incredibly finicky the air filter cover is. Some mechanics will try to force it down and strip out the plastic screw beds.
    But, overall, the video was quite helpful. 👍

    That said, the engineers at Ford designing this setup have the heads buried up their tail pipes so far, they don't realize they are professional shysters. There is zero excuse for such a design that requires this much effort to replace a simple battery. Shame on the engineers, shame on Ford. I've owned a few Fords in my life, but after owning a 2007 Ford F250 Lariat and a 2015 Ford Escape, I will never again have one of these "wrecks on wheels" adorning my driveway.

    Howdies TBS. Well doggies. Using your video and others...(I'm challenged) I finally got the 2017 back together. And it started. That's good. Gonna give it a test ride afterwhile. Yesterday when the thing folded in the yard when it was supposed to be taking us to church, after watching the vids it was a no brainer. I figgered...Let the shop haul if off. My dismay began that morning when lifting the hood I could NOT even find the battery.Then around 3AM this morning after getting up at 2AM to have another go with the vids and picking out my battery I said to heck with it. Slept like a baby until 7AM.
    I will say it took me about 3x longer than it took you (There was that *one* little bolt that gave me cat fits) and I can't see it taking much less time next time. Grrr! But there is absolutely NO way in heck that I could have replaced that battery without your help. I'm here to say thankee 50 times! Another satisfied customer!
    Your bestest fan in Alabam,
    Norm

    Wow, great video! Two comments - I was doing this on my in-laws 2014 Escape so I wanted to put all the parts back properly. It took me probably 45 minutes to get the BACK side of the battery cover on and I'm still not sure it's engaged properly. The video shows putting on the front of the cover and the battery I was replacing was installed by the local dealer so I'm not sure that the back of the cover was ever on correctly after the dealer had done the install about 4 years ago. Both parts of the batter cover were just loose and laying on top of the battery. Why isn't the back of the battery cover installed permanently at the factory so the front would just clip into it? Much of this is done by feel since you can't see it while working with your hands underneath the cowling. Second - make sure the battery is shoved all the way back in the battery box before you put the front of the box back on or you won't be able to get the front of the box engaged (I learned this the hard way). I didn't bother to check the owner's manual on how to replace the battery and this video was great!!! I once had a GMC Acadia and the owner's manual didn't even tell you where the battery is (it's under the back seat in the floor). C'mon American car manufacturers, you can do better than this!!! Because of nonsence like this, I will never buy a GMC or a Ford again (don't get me going on the cabin air filter for this car). But, great video! It took me about 2 hours total to do this job, taking my time and playing with the battery cover for about 45 minutes.

      Use the firewall mount for the negative clamp instead of the battery clamp/post .... HOPEFULLY the negative terminal/battery clamp interface isn't corroded and it should work.

    This is the right way to do it. It does not involve the cowling removal and a potential recalibration of the windshield wipers.

    My ford escape had clips on the filter box. Also my filter was square. Their was no bolts holding it down but those self tapping clips. Just pull on the box and they will become free. Everything else is correct. Did it today. Removed it in 45 minutes. Installed in 15.

Will disconnecting the battery neg / ground where it is bolted to the firewall enough to clear out & "reset" the transmission scheme memory settings, or will the cable connected at the negative battery post need to be disconnected too?
