The tail lights in your case are dual-filament 3157 bulbs. These are operated by logic circuits in your cars body control module (BCM). They turn on automatically in low light or while applying the brakes or when the car Makes a turn. If you are facing any issues with your tail light then the easiest fix is to switch them on manually and if the issue persists then you should try changing the bulbs. The bulb replacement will set you back $40 to $80 on average including both the sourcing of the spare parts and labor fees for the installation of the bulbs. Additionally, if you are facing issues with brake lights only, this might be due to a faulty switch.

The tail lights on the back of a ford escape are dual-filament 3157 bulbs. These bulbs don't have a fuse, rather they are operated by a logic circuit in the bcm. So whenever, a driver hits a gas pedal or makes a turn signal that is when the tail lights turn on.
