Question:
Hello I got 2008 Ford escape and I can see the terminals at the tow package location of the terminals. Since all the poles of the relay are the same location, position and size in which position compering to existing 5L3T-AA relays should I mount the new relay? Thanks,

The 4-Terminal Relays, # TR38665, will install with the flat part of the terminals facing the larger relays in spots # 30B and # 30D. Check out the video that I have attached showing where and how to install these relays. You will notice that the vehicle in the video is a 2008 Mercury Mariner, but the installation will be the exact same with your 2008 Ford Escape. You can see the relay installation starting at the 1 minute and 15 second mark.
You will need three of these relays. They will install in the relay locations # 31C, # 31D and # 31E. You can identify these positions with the legend on the inside of the lid for the power distribution box or with your owners manual. I have also edited the photo you submitted to show the relay locations as well.
