Additional Notes

The Ford Escape luggage compartment uses two bulb types across its model years: the 5008 and the 232, both of which are ANSI-standardized bulbs for the US and Canadian markets.
The 5008 is a single-filament bulb with a BA15s bayonet base, operating at 12V. It is a lower wattage variant of the widely known 1156 bulb.
The 232 is a festoon bulb with an SV8.5 base, rated at 12V and 3W. Festoon bulbs are cylindrical in shape and mount by pressing into spring clips at each end rather than using a twist or bayonet socket.
The BA15s bayonet base on the 5008 features a single contact pin, which distinguishes it from double-contact bayonet bases and makes it incompatible with sockets designed for those variants.
The 5008 and 232 use different base types entirely, meaning they are not interchangeable with each other regardless of voltage compatibility.
The Ford Escape (2001) uses the 5008 for its luggage compartment, as do the 2003-2008, 2010, and 2012 model years.
The 232 festoon bulb is specified for the 2002, 2009, and 2011 model years, indicating that the socket type in the luggage compartment changed between certain production years.
Because the bulb type alternates across model years rather than following a single continuous specification, the model year must be confirmed before selecting a replacement bulb.
