Sorry. I “piggy-backed” on this thread hoping the original poster would reappear to let us know what they ended up doing with their ford escape. I started my own thread after that.
To answer your question - no chargers or anything at all plugged into the USB or charging ports. There is a garage door opener under the sun visor. I haven’t tried removing that from the car and driving it for awhile. It’s at the dealership now.
