In order to carry two bikes on the roof of your 2004 Ford Freestar, you will want a roof rack, as well as two roof mount bike carriers.
I recommend the Inno Aero roof rack. It consists of the Inno Aero Crossbars # INXB115-2
Inno Flush Feet # INXS200, and Custom Fit Kit # INK211. This is a confirmed fit for your vehicle.
For a roof mount bike rack carrier I recommend the Yakima FrontLoader Wheel Mount Bike Carrier # Y02103. This rack will fit your Yakima crossbars and support bikes... view full answer...
It sounds as if there has been a short in the system at some point. There are many situations that could cause this, but the important thing is that the converter and inline fuse have protected the sensitive circuitry in your vehicle from a potentially damaging situation. I checked our catalog and the recommendation for your vehicle is to either use this T-Connector style plug-in harness or see the Ford dealer for trailer wiring. Splicing a trailer wiring harness is not recommended. Your... view full answer...
Bulldog Powered-Drive Kit # BD1824200100 comes with the parts needed to install and use the kit with your Fulton Magnum 12K jack as long as it was made after 2003. If it was made in 2003 or earlier then there isn't a kit for it. view full answer...
For your 2006 Ford Freestar I recommend going with the Curt # C13587 as we've found that the powder coat finish on the Curt hitches tends to be thicker and hold up better against chips and scratches.
Installation will involve removing the exhaust from the rear most exhaust hanger to gain access to the hitch mounting holes in the frame and you may have to slightly enlarge the frame holes if the hardware doesn't fit, but if you look at the video I have linked to and fast forward to the... view full answer...
The eagle hitch cover part # HCC11458 does not contain LEDs so it will not light-up. This is currently the only bald eagle cover we carry.

Have you tried swapping the relays of the Curt # C56673 around that you installed with the harness? Easiest way to determine if a relay is blown is to replace it with a known working one. A short on your trailer wiring could have possibly damaged it or it was defective. view full answer...
It sounds like there is a ground and/or connection issue on the trailer or an issue inside the converter box on the vehicle but there are ways to determine if that is the case or if the harness for your 2007 Ford Freestar is the problem. First, disconnect the trailer from the vehicle. Then use a circuit tester, such as # PTW2993, to test the 4-Way connector while someone sits in the vehicle and operates the lighting functions.
If the 4-Way end does not have the right signals when testing... view full answer...

It sounds like an A-Frame jack might be the way to go for you. If the gusset of your trailer tongue A-frame has the jack mounting holes, the Pro Series # PSRV20000103 would work great for you. The jack has a total lift of 14 inches, and a fully retracted mounting bracket height of 9 inches.
If your A-frame does not have the mounting hole, you could replace the coupler with one that does. You will want to choose a coupler with the appropriate weight rating and for the same ball size as... view full answer...
We've had nothing but positive feedback for the Curt Wiring harness part # C56673 on Freestars like your 2005 model. One customer said in a review, "This was exactly as described and fit perfectly."
Check out the install video I attached for this product on a 2004 Ford Freestar very much like yours. view full answer...
Nine years of service from a wiring harness is pretty good, so as annoying as it is not to have things working right, I would say you got your money's worth out of the old harness. Since the functions seem to have died off one by one this does suggest the unit has given its all and should be replaced.
Available 4-pole wiring kits for your 2005 Ford Freestar are shown on the linked page. For your version without the factory tow package, you can use kit # C56673 from Curt. Even though you... view full answer...

If the port on your 2006 Mercury Monterey is present but not active that just means that the included relays that come with the # C56673 are needed. The relays are what activates the circuits so that would explain why the connector does not have voltage.

The plug on a 2006 Ford Freestar to install the Trailer Wiring Harness, # C56673, can be located behind the rear bumper near the spare tire. The plug should be connected to a gray protective cover mounted to the back of the bumper. If you see the cover but not the plug, it may be above the spare tire. This harness is designed for those vehicles that came with a factory tow package. I have included a link to the installation instructions for reference. view full answer...
If you have a wiring harness that was installed by splicing into your 2005 Ford Freestar's wiring then that would be the problem. The owner's manual for your Freestar states not to splice into the wiring because it can cause malfunctions.
There are two options for you to install a wiring harness on your Ford Freestar without a factory tow package that does not involve splicing. To figure out which one you would need all you have to know is if your Freestar model has the plug behind the... view full answer...
Installation of the Curt # 56073 on your 2007 Ford Freestar requires three relays and two 20 amp mini fuses. Carefully remove the fuse panel cover and insert the relays into 29, 30, and 31. Insert the fuses into positions 46 and 52. See the diagram from the instructions below. view full answer...
Titan Chain Tire Chains # TC339DC meet DOT requirements in all states for any roadway on which chains are required and/or can be used but aren't required by law. There isn't a specific minimum or maximum snow depth for these chains. As far as speed goes most chains including these are rated for 30 miles per hour but if you have to use chains then it is possible that even 30 miles per hour is too fast! view full answer...
I spoke with a representative of Curt who told me that the screw that is included with the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56673 that fits your 2007 Ford Freestar is not needed and it can just be thrown out. Usually a screw like this is included so it can be used for the ground wire, but # C56673 plugs in (see linked installation video) so why it was included with this kit is anybody's guess. view full answer...
For your 2006 Ford Freestar I would recommend a Class III hitch like the part # C13587 as it would have more than enough capacity which would be useful for the towing you plan to do.
The # C13587 has a 350 lb tongue weight and 3,500 lb total trailer weight rating. As long as the weight of everything you plan to tow plus the weight of the trailer is less than that you should be good to go. Class III hitches also allow more flexibility for future hitch accessories like bike racks and cargo... view full answer...
In a situation like this, where you seemingly have ruled out the trailer as being the problem, I would recommend trying the vehicle with a different trailer, if you can borrow one from a friend or neighbor, you can quickly and easily determine if the problem exists with the tow vehicle or with the trailer. If you try a borrowed trailer, and all the lights work fine, then the problem is on your trailer. If the lights on the borrowed trailer do not work correctly, you have isolated the problem... view full answer...
