• Parts Needed For Installing Trailer Hitch Receiver & Wiring For Brake Controller 2022 Sprinter 2500
  Since your 2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 did not come with the factory tow package you may not have a connector for the brake controller under the seat or under your dash. I have linked an installation video for the Redarc # RED44FR at the bottom of the page which will show you where the connector is and if you can wire it in using the Pigtail # 3063-P and Adapter # 331-TPH-017. As I see you were looking at the Prodigy P3 # 90195 it would only require the Pigtail # 3063-P which is long...

• Will the Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles Work on a 2015 Ford Edge SEL
  I do have an option but the Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit part # HM56011 will only fit the 2015 Ford Edge Sport/Titanium, not the 2015 Ford Edge SEL. The 2015 Ford Edge SEL has variable voltage taillights which is where the issue lies. Therefore, you will need to use the Roadmaster Wiring Kit part # RO44FR which requires splicing. There are no plug and play flat-tow wiring harnesses for a 2015 Ford Edge SEL unfortunately. I have attached some other parts you might need as well below. Roadmaster...

• Recommended Electric Trailer Brake Controller for a 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter with Tow Package

• Recommended Parts to Flat Tow a 2017 Ford Edge Titanium
  Yes, disconnecting the battery with a Quick-Disconnect, like the Deka part # DW05312, will be the easy way to go when it comes to disconnecting the battery on your 2017 Ford Edge so it can be flat towed. Disconnecting the battery prevents it from draining while you are flat towing. Since the owner's manual states that the battery must be disconnected I strongly recommend following those instructions and not trying to get by it somehow. That is one of the down sides to flat towing with...

• Can The Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Brake Controller Be Installed On A 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500?
  This is actually an issue with the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 in the 2017 model year if it was not equipped with the factory tow package. Due to the vehicle's wiring system, as you mentioned, you will need the stop light switch kit # RM-751475 to bypass the factory switch. Typically modification of the included bracket will be necessary for installation, but this is pretty easy to do. Once this is installed, you will have absolutely no problem using your Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195.

• Trouble Locating Cold Side of Stop Light Switch for Brake Controller on 2014 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter
  There are some wires that are hot all of the time which is why we usually try to emphasize that the brake controller, like the Prodigy P3 # 90195, needs to be connected to the cold side of the stop light switch when installing the Kit # ETBC7. Sometimes a vehicle will not have a wire connected to the cold side of the stop light switch which is what you are finding. In that case you will simply need to install the Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751475. This is typically used for...

• Recommended Trailer Brake Controller for 2017 Siesta RV
  For your Siesta RV that uses the 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500, I recommend installing the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195. This is an excellent proportional controller that will activate your trailer's brakes at the same time and with the same intensity that you apply to them in your RV. It will work well with LED trailer lights because it does not use any taillight circuits for activation. To install the controller, you will just need a few items, depending on...

• Adding a Brake Controller to a 2012 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter with 7-Way Trailer Connector
  Since your 2012 Mercedes Sprinter does not have the wiring to plug in a brake controller but does have a 7-Way trailer connector you will need to do a little hardwiring to install a controller such as # 90195. You will need installation kit # 5506. From the kit you will use the wire, 30 amp circuit breaker, and ring terminals. On the brake controller the white wire will ground to the negative battery terminal. The black wire will connect to the positive terminal via the 30 amp circuit...

• Can the 2019 Ford Edge With 8 Speed Automatic Transmission Be Flat Towed
  From what I have found, the 2019 Ford Edge with the 8 speed automatic transmission is the ST with the 2.7L engine. If you have the 2.0L then you will not be able to flat tow your vehicle and would need a dolly like the # RM-2050-1. If you have the ST model then you will be able to flat tow this vehicle as long as you keep it under 65 mph. Make sure to consult your owner's manual to confirm this information and follow any instructions listed for recreational towing. For flat towing the 2019...

• How to Install a Brake Controller on a 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500
  If your 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 came with a factory 7-way trailer connector then there should be a green connector located under the driver's seat. This green connector would then be plugged into a Mercedes-Benz speciality harness and attached to a brake controller. However, if you do not have this connection or cannot find it then you will want to proceed with the hardwire option. In order to hardwire a brake controller such as the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller...

• What Is Needed To Pull A Trailer With Electric Brakes Using A 2016 Mercedes-Benz Metris?
  In order to tow a 4000lb trailer with your 2016 Mercedes-Benz Metris, you first need a hitch. I would go with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Class III - 2" # C13276. This is the highest weight capacity hitch we offer and has a max tongue weight of 900lbs and max towing capacity of 6000lbs. In order to get a 7-Way Plug-in on your Metris, you first need to install a 4 Pin trailer wiring kit if your vehicle does not already have one. I recommend going with the ZCI 4-Pole Flat Trailer...

• How To Install a Brake Controller on 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500
  You can hard-wire in a brake controller, and it seems that there are not a lot of the Sprinter 3500 models that are pre-wired, at least from what I've seen in my research. I have not seen any reports that this isn't possible, and we even have an installation video to walk you through the process. The way to find out whether or not the plug is present by using a circuit tester like the # PTW2993 and testing for a hot wire when the brake is pressed- it's possible that one of the plugs that...

  As long as your 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 has a factory plugin connection point for the adapter part # 3063-P you will not need to make any modifications to the adapter, it will plug right in into the factory plug and the other end to a Tekonsha, TrailerMate or Draw-Tite brake controller. The plug that the harness will use is located under the driver seat. It is a green four pin plug which can be seen in the attached photo. If you do not have this factory plug then the green plug...

  In order to install a 7-way trailer connector on the rear of your 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 to your existing 4-way, you will need the Adapter 4-Pole to 7-Pole and 4-Pole part # 37185. Unfortunately, they do not make a wiring harness that splices into the taillights and give you a 7-way trailer connector therefore this will be your only option. If you will be towing a trailer with brakes then instead of part # 37185, you will want to use the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer...

• How to Power Blue Ox Patriot Braking System on Ford Edge when Disconnecting Battery Cable

This kit is needed to provide power to the braking system with the vehicle battery disconnected. The kit attaches directly to the battery terminals to provide the needed power.

• Can Blue Ox Flat Towing Parts from 2013 Ford Edge Fit a 2018 Ford Edge SEL
  You will be able to use your Blue Ox braking system and tow bar but you will need new base plates. The 2013 and 2018 Ford Edge SEL use different base plate designs. Base plates # BX2657 work with SEL models that do not have Active Cruise Control or the 2.0 EcoBoost motor. And they will not fit models with the Driver Assist Package. If your 2018 does have Active Cruise Control but not the EcoBoost 2.0 liter motor then you can use base plates # BX2667. These base plates will be compatible...

• Procedure and Equipment Needed to Flat Tow 2015 Ford Edge SEL Behind Motorhome
  According to what I've read in the owner's manual, your Edge can indeed be flat towed if the specific procedures listed in the manual are followed precisely. To flat tow your Edge, hook up to the motorhome then press and hold the brake to the floor. Start the vehicle and shift into Neutral with the brake pedal still pressed then turn off the vehicle. On a keyless start equipped vehicle, push the keyless start button one to shut off. If the vehicle has an ignition key, turn the vehicle...

• Trailer Brake Controller Installation in 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500
  There is no plug-and-play brake controller harness for the 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 so brake controller installation will be a hard-wire process. Under the driver's seat there should be a green plug. The wires to this plug can be tested with a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to confirm their function since vehicle wire colors are not always consistent. A brake controller like the Prodigy P2 # 90885 has 4 wires that require connection to the Sprinter. The black wire is 12V input...
