Written by API Signal, fleet GPS and camera installers for 35+ years across Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina, installing every major telematics and camera brand. Every wire on this page lists its source.
Test every wire with a meter before you tap it
No wiring information is ever guaranteed. Colors and locations change with trim, options and build date, and the manufacturer can change them in the middle of a model year. We share this as a starting point for installers, and you are responsible for confirming every connection on the truck in front of you.
This page covers the 2024 Ford Escape.
The 2023 refresh moved the power tap to a plug in the driver kick panel. We found no guide for 2024; it is carried from 2023. Our own team has not yet metered these on a 2024 vehicle, and each row says so.
