I have a 2006 Ford Escape Hybrid. It just had 75000 mile check up. The wrench warning light comes on at times and the read out says "service soon". the service writer at the dealer says he has not seen that problem before and wants to hook it up to a machine and charge me for it. I have had that done already and nothing shows up. the car is in great shape and it does not affect the performace at all. Just annoying. Any answers.

    I see this question is over a year old. We have a 2006 Escape Hybrid and the problem above is exactly what I would describe has been happening to our car. The only difference is that I have paid to have them tell me they cannot find a reason why the light is going off and the problem continues. I am going to try the rear door actuator:https://www.amazon.com/gp/huc/view.html?...
    The dealership was completely unhelpful, but of course I was charged a goodly sum to be told they could find nothing wrong. If this doesn't fix it, then I will move on to try possibly looking at the relay sensors in the electrical system as there has been some weird behavior with the dimmer switch coming on and off as it is being driven with the headlights on. The arid climate we currently live does do a number to electronics. This has been a frustrating problems and I would appreciate any update you may have or advice from others.

The service writer thinks that is a Service engine soon warning it is not, I think it is some kind of needed maintence warning. Read your owners manual under "Understanding Your Instrument Panel" section for more information.

SOURCE: how do I change trans fluid on a 2008 escape hybrid

Only 2 ways that I know of....
Easiest: Suction the fluid via the dip stick tube using a drill pump (about 4 bucks at Harbor Freight or on line).
Less Easy: Remove all but one of the transmission pan bolts. With a large container under the pan, loosen the last bolt until you can pry the pan loose.... let the fluid run into the container. When it is empty, retighten that last bolt and then reinsert the removed bolts. The pan gasket should not leak when new fluid is poured into the dip stick tube (check it after about a quart is added... and snug the bolts either side of any leak).

2008 ford escape when the abs light is on i have no brakes what can fix this

You need a mechanic with a high level scan tool to check the Diagnostic Trouble Codes and Live Data. It is probably ABS Sensor related, but should never leave you with no brakes..

While driving tonight a wrench is showing on my dash. Could you tell me what this means? Thank you

Yes it is a "service soon" light. It means something is wrong or up. You should have it checked at the dealer or an auto repair shop. :-) If the mileage is around 50,000 or 100,000 miles, the service light will likely come on. I think all cars do this. I think the dealers or the auto repair place can turn it off.

An orange wrench symbol has appeared on my dash board. What does this mean? I have a 2008 Ford escape hybrid, 16,000 miles.

Doing some checking this is an issue with the HV battery and its normal operating temperature range where the temperature range is exceeded or an issue with the HVBT climate control system having a failure. You will need to take this to the dealer and have them run codes and to look at the temperature blend door actuator as well.

Wrench light keeps coming on, dealer charged 200.00 to see what is wrong and found nothing. The light keeps coming on. Can anyone help with what may be wrong?

Those lights come on when something is wrong that a sensor is reading...take it to autozone have a free scan done...they will be able to tell you what OBD code is coming up.
