Quick Answer
The 2015 Ford Escape has multiple fuse box locations to protect its electrical systems. You'll find them in the following places:
- Under-hood Fuse Box: Located in the engine compartment, typically near the battery.
- Smart Junction Box (SJB) / Passenger Compartment Fuse Box: Located behind the glove compartment or on the passenger side kick panel.
- Cargo Area Fuse Box: Located in the cargo area, often behind a trim panel on the driver's or passenger's side.
Under-hood Fuse Box
The under-hood fuse box contains high-current fuses and relays for critical engine components, powertrain, and some chassis systems. Always consult the fuse box lid or your owner's manual for the most accurate diagram for your specific vehicle trim level.
Location: Engine compartment, typically on the driver's side, near the battery.

Cargo Area Fuse Box
This fuse box typically handles power for accessories located in the rear of the vehicle, such as the rear power outlet, liftgate functions, and sometimes specific trailer tow components.
Location: In the cargo area, often behind a removable trim panel on the driver's or passenger's side.
| Fuse # | Amp | Color | Circuit / Component Protected |
|---|---|---|---|
| F1 | 20A | Yellow | Power Outlet (Cargo Area) |
| F2 | 15A | Blue | Heated Rear Seats (If equipped) |

How to Test a Fuse
Testing a fuse is a straightforward process that can save you time and money. Here's how you do it:
- Locate the Fuse Box: Identify the correct fuse box for the circuit you suspect is faulty.
- Identify the Suspect Fuse: Consult the fuse diagram on the fuse box cover or in your owner's manual to find the fuse for the non-working component.
- Visual Inspection: Many fuses have a clear plastic body. Look for a broken wire or a dark, burnt appearance inside the fuse. If it's clearly broken, the fuse is blown.
- Use a Test Light or Multimeter (Recommended):
- With a Test Light: Turn the ignition ON (engine OFF). Touch one end of the test light to a good ground point. Touch the probe of the test light to the small metal test points on the top of the fuse (most modern fuses have these). The test light should illuminate on both sides of the fuse. If it lights up on one side but not the other, the fuse is blown. If it doesn
Before you pull a fuse on the 2015 Ford Escape
- Use the label printed on the panel cover or the owner's manual for your exact build. Layouts change with options, model year and build date, so a chart for another truck can be wrong.
- Replace a blown fuse only with the same amp rating. A larger fuse can let wiring overheat.
- A fuse that blows again right away means a short or failing component downstream. Find the cause before replacing it again.
- A good fuse doesn't prove the circuit works — relays, grounds and connectors fail too.
- Disconnect the battery before working near high-current fuses or cables.
