In 1981, Ford released a new compact vehicle -- the Escort -- which lasted through 2000. The 1993, the Escort came in four main trim levels: base, LX, GT and LX-E. The base and LX models came fitted with an 88-horsepower, 1.9-liter engine and the GT and LX-E models came with a 127-horsepower, 1.8-liter engine. All four trim levels have a main fuse that protects the Escort's entire electrical system. When this fuse fails, the Escort receives no power; you must replace the 1993 Escort's main fuse to get power back.

Open the Escort's hood and locate the under-hood fuse panel -- on the driver's side of the engine compartment.
2Access the fuse panel by pressing the locking tab on the right side of the fuse panel lid and pivoting the lid toward the passenger's side.
3Locate the 100-amp (1.9-liter) or 80-amp (1.8-liter) main fuse in the panel -- the third fuse from the left of the panel. Grab the outer edges of the fuse and pull it upward with a wiggling motion to remove it.
4Line up the prongs on a new main fuse with the receptacle in the fuse panel. Press the new main fuse into the under-hood fuse panel.
5Pivot the under-hood fuse panel lid toward the driver's side and press it downward to lock it into place.
