Ford Escape No Start

I had a similar issue with my old Opel Corsa. The cable connections to the battery were corroded and loose, making it act like the battery was dead. Have you checked those connections on your Escape?

I gave them a quick look, but maybe I wasn't thorough enough. What exactly should I be looking for besides obvious corrosion?

Look for corrosion and check if the terminals are tight. Wiggle them a bit; if they move, that could be the problem. If cleaning and tightening doesn't fix it, get the battery tested. If not that, take it to a workshop.

Thanks! You were spot on! I cleaned and tightened the battery cable connections, and it started right up. Turns out that was the problem. Cost me 155€ in the workshop. Appreciate the help!
