Question about Ford Cars & Trucks
Since the car manufacturers had the "smart" idea of removing cigarette lighters and ashtrays from cars I can't find a lighter to install in my car because the 12 volt socket is molded into the plastic that contains the seat heaters.
Any auto parts store or online for an aftermarket or universal and its only a two wire hook up a positive and neg

I tried that...we can't get the old 12 volt socket out that has the cover on it as an individual piece because it is molded into the plastic cover that also houses the seat warmer controls. You have a one plastic cover that goes over the driver seat warmer control, then has the 12 volt socket frame molded to it, then goes over the passenger seat warmer control. Just the cigarette lighter won't go into that 12 volt socket because of the cap on it. That whole socket has to come out, and replaced with the socket that comes with a cigarette lighter. To do that...you then leave exposed the controls to the seat warmers.
Does that cover pop off and on easily without damaging anything?
pull fuse for the acc so you dont short out anything the center is removable should be able to twist it up if not budging pop the switch cover and push through but watch the wires
Thank you

I already looked at that and it says it does not fit my 2016 Ford Escape Titanium
I think you have your solution elsewhere although I would have expected the specialists at the site I listed to assist. Here is an additonal site assuring a fit and providing a video. https://www.carid.com/2016-ford-escape-c...
