When changing the high pressure limit switch does refridgerant escape when you unscrew it?

Awesome, I hope I never have that problem but if I do I’ll definitely fix it myself… My mom just gave me her Escape limited 3.0 4wd last week… I’ve noticed the key seems like a struggle to get in the ignition tumbler but I’m not real sure what’s causing that to happen… I’ve figured out it’s easier to get the tip of the key in the hole and jiggle it a little and it’ll go right in… idk, it’s kinda weird, like something’s out of alignment or something… That sounded all kinds of wrong but that’s the best way I could describe it…😂😭

Man thank you so much for this , you literally saved me a lot of money my job and just made my life easier in general I appreciate you man keep doing what you doing 👏🏽🗣

Ty bro this fixed my 03 grand marquis

I need that pneumatic screwdriver

Thank you so much!! Your video was right on point! Your entire description of steps was perfect except how to get that little cover off the key cylinder. lol. Saved me thousands!

Total bullcrap. 73-52 down to up ratio BTW

I did this but two of the spark plug wires refuse to go back in all the way. The non-coil ones. The rubber doesnt touch the valve cover and there's a significant gap. What am I doing wrong? The spark plugs are bolted in nicely and they are the same length as the old ones. Despite this the car seems to run just fine.

Worked like a charm! Saved lots of money!

So I'm about 2-3 hours in and still can't get the cap off, it is not as easy as he makes it look. I'm sure the hack works fine but I can't do it if the cap refuses to come off

Thank you. Our 2010 Escape just did this, so now we know what to do. One more time thanks for the video.

This video should be deleted lol. Bad advice and very bad procedure. Check out the TRQ video on how to do brakes for the Honda Odyssey.

You are the bomb!! 👍

who can do this for me!

You have to struggle to hear the commentator. Ugh

It seems to me that it might be easier to file on the keyway front plate instead of travel stop inside the sleeve. Just make sure you file the leading edge that hits the travel stop on the sleave for clockwise turning.

Another video the person put tape around the D-shaped tail piece of the tumbler (that mates into ignition sleave) to take up the slack such that the key core rotation would go far enough to engage the starter switch. Apparently the tail piece is made of pot metal that wears out over time and so the tape or this method restores the rotational travel to engage to starter switch. This method will probably last longer than tape but is harder because you have to uncrimp the keyway dust cover.

Thank you for making this video my brother is having the same problem

Thank you so much for posting this because it saved me a lot of money and give me a lot of guidance. thank you so much for your time and efforts to do this

Can i try the same thing in my 2008 ford escape if the anti theft flashing?

Phyllis, I see this all the time and he's UA-cam videos everybody says disconnect the negative cable but they don't say disconnect the positive cables. The positive cable runs directly to the starter. Therefore if you do not disconnect it from the battery when it is disconnected from the starter anything connected to the truck that touches the positive cable will create a large ark. Possibly damaging electronics because of running positive charge through the grounding system. First disconnect the negative then disconnect positive in that order always. Just like when replacing an alternator you must also disconnect the positive cable to avoid creating a dead short directly from the battery. Which can damage much of the electronics electrical components electrical components electrical components. Or start a fire. Good luck in the future

Would it differ on a 2007 Tahoe?

Can we just simply replace a ignition key cylinder? Since don’t have a grinder?

I literally just drove my 2008 escape to work and when I parker and shut it off it wouldn't let me pull the key out and it won't start back up. Will this video help with that?

I cannot turn my key at all. Not even to the “On” position. Remote start works and the wheels turn like normal when I remote start. Any suggestions?

BEST video for this fix that I could find! All of the others I saw had me pulling off the steering wheel and replacing the whole ignition lock module (more time and an additional $75 purchase). Followed this guy's instructions and the problem was solved with ZERO dollars spent! Thank you!!!

the replacement part is 35-40$ readily available

Hopefully, next time they make a video, the guy stops looking into the camera the entire time, like he's performing sx and asking if im okay every 2 minutes 😂 like, are YOU okay?

Thank you! This looks like exactly what I need to do. The switch on the left side is good and I can start it using a screwdriver in the switch, but there is enough lash in the shaft and linkage that the key won't start it. I'll take the key side assembly apart and do what you did here, probably with a dremel tool and small bits. Thanks again.

That's nice hack to save 1500

I did mine in about 30 minutes. Very simple. Did not remove steering wheel.

Good video! Short and to the point.

Thanks for a great tutorial. It worked for my daughters 2012 Ford Escape. Once again, the most difficult part was the shiny stainless key hole cover.

How about setting the spark plug gap...

This is 8years after you posted this video and it helped us today! Thank you and am very grateful to have come upon this!

How do you know that’s what the problem is?

🎉 thank you so much!!! I have a 08 escape that has been hard to start for years and it finally half way left me and my family stranded yesterday! So this morning I watched your video did the work(about a hour) and VOILA! Started amazing now! Life saving video lol

Wow, this worked like a charm and it only took me a couple of hours! My 2007 Escape Hybrid was getting harder to start every day until one day it just wouldn’t turn on. I was able to do this with a 6mm socket wrench, utility knife and a few screwdrivers. Pulling off the ring took the longest but I just kept at it with a small gauge flat screwdriver. Instead of the power grinder I just used the sharp blade of some metal sheers to grind back that groove by hand. I only shaved off a few millimeters but it made a big difference and the car starts easily again. Probably saved me several hundred 💸. Thanks!

Mine is like that how do I get it all the way out the glass too I need help

This should work on a 2010 mercury mariner right?

🎉❤

Used your video to fix my 2007 300. In a parking lot. Ty for the help! Saved me time and $$.

Same here sir I did your advice 👏🏼👍🏼💯🙏🏼🙏🏼 save us money

thank you and God bless you

Thank you

Thank you so much! I had my son in law who is way more mechanically inclined than me do this. Fixed no problem! You are a God send!

I was skeptical of this video because he had clearly pulled the screws out for removing the trim pieces but it made perfect sense. I read several comments as well and people kept talking about how thankful they were to find this video. I followed it and instantly everything worked perfect. Really easy to do and glad to no longer fight to get the car started.

Thank you for your help!

My moms 2012 Escape xlt is blowing hot air; the heater works; it doesn’t leak anything underneath. We are thinking its clogged but don’t know where to go to fix this. Help please!! This Oklahoma heat is brutal

Good detailed video i appreciate it
