I need the size of the tail light bulb for 1997 ford escort

remove your tail light bulbs than put in a new fuse if it does not blow it is a bulb socket put one bulb back in check the fuse if it blows remove bulb. than put bulb in other socket if it doesnt blow with new fuse you will know what socket to replace. if this was helpful please leave feedback

Most modern tail lights are replaced by gripping the socket (inside the trunk) and twisting counter clockwise. The tail light socket and the bulb will then pull out toward the front of the car. The bulb is removed from the socket by pushing down against the spring and rotating it counterclockwise with relation to the socket (like opening a childproof pill bottle). Good luck.

It is the light box. You know the pulley you use to turn lights on and off??? that goes bad all the time. Replace that and your gold.

open the rear hatch and pull carpet away from the lens with the light out,you will see four plastic thumb nuts,remove them and pull the lens assembly out to access bulbs.

do you have a coupe(2 door), sedan (4 door) or wagon (grocery giter)

there is a leak, the tail lights are plastic welded seams they leak and allow a tiny amount of water vapor in. Have seen this 100's of times. You will need a new tail light assembly.

You need to remove the tail light from the car,unbolts from inside the trunk,behind the carpet.

I have the exact same problem with a Ford Escort. Anybody have an answer?

marker lights and brake lights usually are separated -- they use a two filament bulb -- check bulb first -- sometimes the connections get dirty -- use electrical contact cleaner and spray the connections -- if that doesnt work -- there is a short in the wiring

hi mate you need to replace the stalk on which your light switch is on i had the same problem
