Hi all

I’m a new driver and bought a 2012 Ford Escape Xlt v6

my 3rd brake light does not work I did replaced it with a new one but still no lights

windshield fluid washer does not spray at all

and my rear windshield wipers do not work

looking for advice I can look into before taking it to a mechanic

thank you

 

Do your other brake lights working?
Is there any noise when you try to use front washers?
What happens when you try to use rear washer?
Any other electrical issues?
Do you have and know how to use a voltmeter?

 

The other 2 brake lights work just fine , I don’t hear anything when I try to use the washer nor anything with the rear one as well

 

3rd brake light.
Remove the third brake light, check for continuity to ground on the black/gray wire. Check for voltage at C922 pin 5. Check for voltage at C2280B pin 40.

 

Front washers.
Check the two fuses circled in red. Check for voltage at C125 pin 5 & 8. While pushing the washer button check for continuity between C125 pin 9 and ground, and C202 pin 10 and ground. While your at it check continuity between C125 pins 3 & 6 to ground.

 

Rear wiper.
Check the two fuses circled in red. Check for voltage at C476 pins 4 & 8. Check for continuity between C476 pins 1 & 5 to ground.

 

Thank you , i won’t be able to check them until around Christmas break but I’ll let you know after

 

Did you figure out the issues over christmas break.
