On the passenger side, it can be seen after removing the glove box. Below is relevant information: Introduction: The Ford Kuga inherits over half a century of Ford SUV family's R&D, design, manufacturing, and tuning expertise. The 2019 Ford Kuga has evolved comprehensively on this foundation, with a series of upgrades to its exterior and interior. The overall appearance is more sporty and fashionable, featuring a newly added 10-inch LCD touchscreen paired with an all-new internet-connected car intelligent system. The optimized rear seating space improves knee room for rear passengers, further enhancing ride comfort. Configuration: Equipped with the EcoBoost series engines known for their powerful performance, quick start-up, and sustained acceleration, particularly the class-leading EcoBoost 245 engine. It utilizes twin-scroll turbocharging technology for earlier turbo engagement and more aggressive power delivery, delivering a maximum power of 180 kW at 5500 rpm and a peak torque of 350 Nm between 1750-4000 rpm, paired with an intelligent AWD system.
I've previously worked on a Ford Escape, where the body control module is usually tucked away in that small corner under the lower left side of the dashboard, right in front of the driver's knees. I remember one time when my car lights had an issue, I went looking for this module myself—just lifted the plastic trim panel in the footwell, and there it was, looking like a little box. The placement is quite user-friendly, designed to avoid high-traffic areas to prevent wire damage. If you're replacing the battery or checking wiring, I’d recommend gently loosening the screws with a screwdriver first—don’t yank hard to avoid breaking the clips. This layout is pretty common in the Escape; sometimes there’s a secondary module on the passenger side, but the main control unit is typically here. If you encounter a trouble code, first check if the fuse box connections are secure before suspecting the module itself.
