Where is the driver kick panel on a 2003 ford escape?

The driver's side kick panel on a 2003 Ford Escape is located at the bottom of the driver's side dashboard, along the floorboard. It's a vertical panel that covers the area between the dashboard and the floor. You'll likely need to remove it to access fuses, wiring, or possibly the cabin air filter (depending on trim level). It's usually held in place by clips or screws.
