Here's a great method for having FULL OVERHEAD BATTERY ACCESS with your '13-'16 Ford Escape. WAY easier than removing the airbox and pulling the battery forward.
**Wiper Recalibration**
for those whose wipers need recalibration, check out this video:
• Wiper / Motor Realignm...
Tools Needed:
- 8mm Socket (*EURO VEHICLES USE 10MM*)
- 15mm Socket
- Small Philips Driver
- T-25 Torx Driver
Follow the easy steps in the video.
Be GENTLE with the snaps of the flexible cowl, and make sure that the pins on each side of the rigid cowl drain pan are in the right place when reinstalling.
It's best to pay attention to the "Park" Position of the wipers to put them back in the same spot as before to avoid messing up the calibration/timing of the wiping! A sharpie mark can suffice on the wiper arm/motor, but there ARE little notations for the "Parked" position on the windshield
From @Centex on FordEscape.org:
"Lift the blades and look closely at the windshield on each side near the outer end of the blade where they park. Etched into the black background you'll see an alignment mark for each side (looks like a "T" with another upside down "T" below it, about a 1/2" gap top-to-bottom). The blades should be between these marks when parked.
LH blade (viewed from driver seat) is Always above the RH blade. Cycle the wipers on a wet windshield after reinstall to let the motors self-align."
*Using a PULLER TOOL is great for taking off the wiper arms from the splined wiper motor post. This is a fairly basic tool and can be found at any local auto parts store.
*When reinstalling the wiper arm, the nut needs to be torqued to 25Nm - Thanks @Murcod for the spec!
*Great opportunity to clean out your gummed up cowl vents!
This process was posted in a video by @Daniel_Ros - Not sure if he was the first, but I wanted to add it to the channel and give him props!
