Additional Notes

The Ford Escape trunk bulb specification calls for the 12961 across all listed model years, spanning 2001-2012.
The 12961 is a Philips part number designating a miniature wedge bulb in the T10 form factor.
T10 bulbs are small, wedge-shaped lamps commonly used in low-intensity interior and cargo lighting applications within passenger vehicles.
The 12961 operates at 12 volts and draws 5 watts, which is consistent with standard automotive interior lighting circuits.
The base type for this bulb is W2.1x9.5d, a wedge base where the glass envelope itself acts as the retention mechanism rather than a separate metal base.
The W2.1x9.5d designation indicates a wedge base with a 9.5mm pin spacing, a standard configuration shared by many T10 miniature bulbs across the automotive industry.
Because the 12961 is a Philips-branded part number, equivalent bulbs from other manufacturers are typically cross-referenced under different part numbers but must match the T10 form factor, W2.1x9.5d base, 12V rating, and 5W output to be considered interchangeable.
The consistent use of a single bulb specification across the entire 2001-2012 Ford Escape model range indicates a stable trunk lighting socket design throughout that generation span.
