It never opens on the 1st try, doesn't matter if i use the button on the hatch, dashboard, or the remote. If I am close to the hatch when I use the remote, I can hear a sound, like it's making a weak effort to open, them re-closes.
After two or three tries, it opens as expected from the dash or remote, bur the button on the hatch works only if I pull the door open.

Worse, 3 times in the past week, after repeatedly struggling with the tailgate hatch, the door would open on it's own after I start to drive.

Any tips on how to correct this? ]]> mmschwei https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1804071-18-escape-sle-rear-hatch-issues.html BMS reset required... https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1803744-bms-reset-required-new-post.html Mon, 27 Apr 2026 16:27:16 GMT I just found out last night that our 2016 Escape has a requirement for the BMS to be reset when a new battery is installed.

I just found out last night that our 2016 Escape has a requirement for the BMS to be reset when a new battery is installed. About 10 months ago I installed a battery in the Escape and was not aware of this requirement.

Frankly, I think it is silly and too complicated, but I am not an engineer, not even and armchair engineer.

Anyway. I reset it this morning with the "manual" procedure which is ignition ON, flash high beams 5 times, press brake pedal 3 times, wait for battery light to flash 3 times. Apparently, this manual procedure does not work for all models or years and in those cased you need to use FORScan or the dealer to reset the BMS.
