What to Do When the Ford Escape Battery Dies?
1 Answers
If the battery of a Ford Escape dies, the only solution is to jump-start it using another car's battery. Connect the positive terminal of the dead battery to the positive terminal of the working battery, and then connect the negative terminals in the same manner. Here is some relevant information: 1. In case of a sudden battery failure, contact a rescue vehicle to connect jumper cables for temporary charging to start the engine. To avoid being unable to charge when the battery dies, it's advisable to keep a set of jumper cables in the car. 2. When connecting jumper cables, it's crucial not to reverse the connection order: first connect the positive terminal of the dead battery to the positive terminal of the rescue vehicle's battery, then connect the negative terminal of the rescue vehicle's battery to a metal part in the engine compartment of the dead vehicle (grounding). 3. After connecting the jumper cables, start the engine of the rescue vehicle and slightly increase the engine speed. After about 5 minutes, the dead battery should receive enough emergency charge. Once charging is complete, disconnect the jumper cables in the reverse order of connection.
