Common problems and easy repairs on a 2002 Escort
The 2002 Ford Escort ZX2 is a moderately easy vehicle to maintain, and a good choice for any vehicle owner. The components of the spare tire are easily accessible in the rear of the vehicle. This keeps the tire and jack kit ready to go in case of emergency. Changing the headlight with reliability is no problem, as you only have to reach behind the housing. The engine coolant reservoir is easily visible in the engine bay. This will allow you to check and replenish the fluid level on a regular basis.
Some things are problematic on the 2002 Ford Escort ZX2. You will have to use a few tools and work in a cramped space for access to the center brake light. Other models will make this access much easier. Accessing the interior fuse boxes can be tough, as you will have to make a tough reach under the steering wheel. You will need a few tools in order to remove the taillight housing for access to the tail light bulbs.

On many cars, the high beam bulb runs at reduced power during the day - check 'em and change 'em!
Don't send mixed signals - if your turn signal doesn't blink, or blinks rapidly, you likely have a burnt out bulb
Avoid tickets and accidents with both working headlights! New bulbs are much brighter too
