My dome light and radio do not work. on my 2001 Ford Escape

I had to brake into my 2001 ford escape. The alarm goes off so I hit the power door locks to shut it off. Now my dome light and radio do not work. I have checked all the fuses and the dome light, light bulb and all work fine any suggestions?

    It turns out I got the answer from a previous post someone else made. It was the 10amp fuse in the fuse box by the clutch peddle. We replaced it and all is well. Thanks to the other poster as no one at Ford could figure it out. After replacing the fuse I took my car back to the Ford dealer and showed them the problem and the solution. lol

    Thank to all of you

It almost sounds like an interuption in the security system. Have the vehicle tested by a dealer or qualified mechanic.

SOURCE: 2004 Ford Escape Electrical problem

This is a problem with the alternator. Diode rectifiers and voltage regulator replacement will give this baby a 14.2 voltage output. In this 3L V6 SUV removal of the alternator requires removing the right tire, the right axis and undercovering to reach the 6G alternator. It is a 133mm rectifier with a motorcraft, The serpentine belt is better removed from the bottom. Also keep a bucket on hand to recover the oil from the transmission.

SOURCE: Radio and interior dome lights have no power.

I just had the same problem with my 2001 escape from relacing the radio and wires accidently crossed. I switched both fuses like you said, and got no where...until....I noticed there is a 10 fuse hidden on the far right side of the panel, closest to the brake pedal. The fuse actually runs vertical unlike any of the other fuses which run horizontal, so it is kind of hidden..try that fuse, it should solve your problem, if not then I don't know sorry..

Why is my door jam alarm keeping coming on when all my doors are closed and my alarm door lock goes when the truck is locked

One of your door switches is faulty. You will need to have it scanned to see which door it is then replace the door latch assy. in that door.

2001 Ford Escape, dome light will not go off when door shut, but door ajar light is dark?Could this be the door switch? are there different switches for the door ajar light and the dome light? How can I...

The door switch provides a ground to the dome light... so there is no danger to you if you want to attempt a removal of the switch. A rusted or shorted wire in the door switch (of any door) will keep the dome light on.

I slammed the passenger door too hard and now the radio doesnt stay on when key is turned off, the auto lock on that door doesnt work and the dome light wont come on 2007 ford escape

I`d check the flexible wiring between the door and the car to make sure it hasn`t been trapped or snapped.

Also check the fuses to make sure one (or more) haven`t blown

Door ajar alarm

The doorlach pin is faulty.
On newer vehicles it is inside the door on the locking mechanism.
It is stuck in the closed position, or has become dislodged.
Refer to your mechanic for repair.
