Has anyone out there actually found replacement HVB cooling fans for the 2005 Escape Hybrid? I can't find any parts on the Ford site that are inside the HVB case. A complete replacement battery is available for $10,000. Do you think they have actually sold one for that? There are some new cars that aren't much more.

 

5M6Z-10C659-A is what I used for my 2006.

 

Thank you elborak. I actually found the part # a few days ago and ordered it. They updated the part # to -B instead of -A. They say it is a kit that includes both fans but I haven't received it yet. Did you do the upgrade yourself? Any tips would be appreciated. Did you remove the entire pack to do the work or by just removing the rear panel on the pack? I have already removed that panel and have full access to the fans. I tried removing the big panel covering the batteries but couldn't figure out how the 2 side screws are removed. After removing all of the security screws it was loose except for those 2 darned screws.

 

A link to the well illustrated guide I followed (and a description of the one small complication I had) are in this thread.

I never fully removed the large back cover, for safety reasons.

 

John, did you have any luck? Or anybody else that has used this replacement part? I am about to order it, but don't know the difference in the part numbers ending in "-A" or "-B". Both sets seem to come with 2 fans. B is 50$ more, and one seller suggests its a "newer, replacement" piece. Anyone know if that is accurate?

I got revision B because I felt more comfortable getting the latest update. It went very nicely and it's like a new car now. Made a huge difference. I got mine from a Ford dealer in Las Vegas who had it in stock and shipped it right away. http://www.ebay.com/itm/222155672246?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

 

There is another thread with this topic you should read. https://www.greenhybrid.com/forums/f...91/index2.html

 

I've had good results with this dealer for hybrid parts: http://www.silverstatefordparts.com

 

Thanks a lot! I'm excited to get this done and see those MPGs go back up.

 

Let us know how it turns out.
