The owner's manual for your 2005 Ford Escape will specify the correct fuse rating for the cigarette lighter (or power outlet). There isn't a single universal answer as it can vary slightly depending on the trim level and options.
Do not attempt to guess. Using the wrong fuse can damage your vehicle's electrical system.
Consult your owner's manual. It will have a fuse diagram showing the amperage rating for each fuse. The fuse box is usually located under the hood and/or inside the vehicle's passenger compartment.
