There was also a recall listed here http://www.carhelp.com/ford-escape-recal.... Good luck and let us know if that is what you needed or if there was other issues since your question did not quite match the other question :).

kevin are you talking about the pump for the windshield washer fluid? What is not working? Your wipers not moving or no fluid coming out of the sprayer?
