My 2008 Ford Escape clock seems to be losing time. What would make it do this. Initally we did have to replace the battery. Alternator is charging fine. Right before the old battery failed, the radio and clock stopped working all together. 2 days after the new battery was put in, the radio and clock started working again.

SOURCE: have a constant problen with

i do not know of a problem with the ford escape but i will tell you this i had to replace the alternator on a 2000 expedition twice and the problem was the place the auto part store was getting them from was not testing the voltage regulator the way they should and that cause a problem for us also replace your drive belt if you truck has over 40,000 miles on it

SOURCE: no radio display

I have a 2004 ford escape and the radio wontt come on i checked the fuse but its not burnt out NEED SOME HELP!!

SOURCE: ABS & traction control just went out on 2008 Ford Escape.

Chances are it is a bad ABS sensor. Need to get scanned to know for sure and which one.
Not much i know but I hope that helps.

SOURCE: 2008 Ford Escape Horn Fuse keeps blowing after

I would trace the wire from the horn and see if it was inadvertently damaged when the alternator was installed. If you have a voltmeter, you can remove the horn fuse and check to see if there is continuity between the horn (non hot side) of the fuse and the car body. This would indicate a short in the wire running from the fuse box to the horn. You can also look around the alternator mounting area to see if any wires are being pinched. Hope this helps. Good luck!

SOURCE: 2008 ford escape-- power steering

Just off the top of my head I would say that the fluid level is low and/or the pump is sucking air into the system and is dropping pressure pressure after a while.

Testimonial: "the power steering is electric in a 20089 Escape. No fluid./"
