Your front park lamps and rear tail lamps, use the same fuse and park lamp relay. So if the front park lamps work it's not the fuse or relay. The problem should be the wire circuit. The wire color for voltage at rear tail lamps is violet with white tracer. Use a test light and check for voltage, lamps turned on.
Your stop and turn work ok, correct?

SOURCE: 94 ford f350dash lights and tail lights not working

You may have a bad light switch or a bad wire at the light switch.
Only way to know is to remove the switch.

SOURCE: LOW BEAM LIGHTS ON 2009 FORD ESCAPE VERY POOR.

If the headlights are adjusted properly and it is still too dim to see properly, you can add a set of driving lights. A high quality set from PIAA or other high end lighting manufacturers will cost $200-$300, but it is well worth the investment. You can also swap the headlamp bulbs for a more powerful set, ask the parts store.

If your lights are shining at the ground right in front of the vehicle, I would suspect that they are out of adjustment and you should take the vehicle to a shop that can accurately align them.

SOURCE: what fuse controls the tail lights? all other lights are working except both tail lights .

look for a fuse labeled park or tail lamps in your owners manual fuse box diagram. You may have to chase a wiring issue as well.

Where is the fuse in fuse box for taillight on 2012 Ford Escape

The tail light fuse in a 2012 Ford Fusion can be found in the fuse panel that is in the cabin on the driver's side under the steering wheel. The fuse should be number 22 but always check with the cover that is over the panel to confirm. If Your tail lights are out on Your Fusion the first thing You should check are the bulbs. These burn out regularly and are a consumable part. If they are okay then the next thing to check are the fuses. If the fuse is blown go ahead and replace it and make sure the lights work. If You are popping fuses regularly to Your tail lights then there is likely a short in the wiring to them.

you can google 2012 ford escape fuse diagram for more info

My Ford Escape 2013 all the lights go on but in few minutes driving the tail lights go out every other light still works

Cannot be a fuse if the tail lights are working when starting, then going out when driving. If fuse- lights will not come on at all. Cannot be bulbs either if intermitent (unless problem with the bulb socket itself). I would check for short somewhere.

No tail lights on my 2008 ford escape. driver rear blinker wasn't working. replaced bulb, but when i turn on the blinker both blinkers are blinking...front and back...

Not sure I follow your story.
The front and rear turn signal should blink on one side. If the tail lamps are not working, it could be a fuse or a problem with the wiring. And the tail lamps are on the same circuit as the front parking lamps.

Where is the fuse for the plate number light ford escape 2003

I have found that the cars with which I have experience use the same fuse for the license plate light as is used for the tail lights. Not sure why or if yours is different.
So, if the tail lights work and the license plate light doesn't, then the problem can usually be resolved by confirming that the wire is properly connected, cleaning the contacts and replacing the lamp.

2009 ford escape turn signals and brake lights work but no taillights checked bulbs look good no where in owners mannual does it list tailight fuse or location

I think your problem locating the fuse may be because Ford refers to the lights you are describing as "PARK" lamps, instead of "TAIL" lamps. The PARK fuse is Fuse #22 (15 Amp) located in the Smart Junction Box (SJB) in the center of the dash.

HINT: This same fuse also protects the circuits your front park lamps, if they are working, the fuse is not blown.

On my 2001 Ford Escape The parking lights, dash lights, console lights and interior lights don't work. All other lights etc do work. I checked all fuses and they are good and the bulbs aren't burnt...

I was just going to chime in about the relay. My '02 XLS Escape's dash and rear lights would take about 5-10 minutes to turn on. I finally removed the fuse box (by the driver's left leg) and cleaned the connectors for the relays on the back side of the fuse panel (yes, you have to unbolt the panel - be careful to not pull too ******* any of the wires) using connector cleaner. This is the most absurd placement of a user-serviceable part I've ever seen. But after over a year of dealing with it, it ended up taking about 10 minutes with a 10mm socket to fix it for good.
