Ford Escort Questions and Answers

Trailer Wiring Harness for 1999 Ford Escort Wagon
Because the 1999 Escort Wagon uses a separate bulb for the turn signals, and would need a taillight converter, the # C55344 would not be compatible with your Escort wagon. To combine the brake light and turn signal onto a single circuit like the lights on the trailer, you will need to use a hardwired tail light converter like the # 119175KIT. The wires on the input side of the converter would wire directly into the taillight circuits of your Escort wagon. The easiest way to access the circ

Which Roof Mounted Cargo Bags Will Fit a Factory Roof Rack on a 1995 Ford Escort Wagon
The short answer is that any bag can be installed on the roof of your 1995 Ford Escort Wagon with factory crossbars. You will have to look at the bag measurements to determine if they will fit in between the crossbars or if they will need to rest on top of the bars. If a bag will have to touch the roof, I recommend making sure that the bottom of the bag and roof are both clean to avoid scratches. I also recommend using Non-Skid Roof Protection Pad, # RL100650. You will also want to consult t

How to Choose the Proper Grease Seal for a Trailer Hub that has a # 168110 Race
Race # L68110 is commonly associated with grease seal # 168233. Seal # 168233 has an inner diameter of 1.688 inches and an outer diameter of 2.332 inches. To ensure that this seal will work with your hub and spindle, I would recommend using a dial caliper to measure your spindle and hub. I have attached a photo showing where to measure on the spindle and hub to choose the correct grease seal for your application.

Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 1997 Ford Escort Station Wagon
You should start by consulting the vehicle owners manual for the proper towing procedure for the Escort. In my research I found that the manual transmission Escort can be flat towed but the automatic transmission models require a transmission lube pump before they can be flat towed. There are 5 items that you will need to flat tow a vehicle. First, you will need to install base plates on the vehicle. The base plates provide a safe attachment point for the tow bar.

Will the Yakima QuickBack 2 Scratch my Bike Frame and Will it Fit a Ford Escort ZX2
The Yakima QuickBack bike racks have plastic shielding on the arms, soft pads at each of the cradles, and soft rubber straps to secure the bikes in the cradles. As long as you keep the cradle and strap free of debris, you should not have any scratching problems. There are no metal surfaces that the bike would come in contact with if loaded properly. It should fit your Escort ZX2 with the factory spoiler. In order to know for sure, I would need the year. If you write back with the year, I will

Is a Converter Needed to Tow an Amber Turn Signal Vehicle Behind an RV
A converter is not necessary. You can treat the Escort as though it does not have the amber turn signals. They will still function when you drive the Escort, but when you tow it behind the RV the system is simplified to the RV 4 Wire system. There are wiring diagrams towards the bottom of the tow bar wiring kits we have, like part # RM-154. Look for the image labeled Combined RV to Separate Towed Vehicle. I have added a link to a video of a tow bar wiring install on a 2006 Jeep Liberty th
