Expert Reply:
Since you are experiencing trouble with the plug and play wiring harness, # 118426, I would recommend that you go with an Upgraded Heavy Duty Wiring Harness w/Integrated Circuit & Overload Protection, # C59496. This harness has a newer design which automatically resets if a short circuit or overload is detected, once the short circuit or overload is resolved.
When installing the Upgraded Heavy Duty Wiring Harness, # C59496, on your 2007 Ford Escape you should follow the directions for a 3 wire system in the installation instructions.
I would recommend using a soldering iron, and solder, # FL0803484, to install this item for the best, longest lasting connections possible. Some electrical tape will also be needed for the connections.
