Expert Answers about Ford Bronco


  • Installation Of Hopkins Agility Brake Controller # HM47294 On My 1992 Ford Bronco
  • When installing the Hopkins Agility Brake Controller, part # HM47294, on your 1992 Ford Bronco, you will not need the Ford adapter, part # HM47715, as it is not compatible with your 1992 Ford Bronco. To install the Hopkins Brake Controller # HM47294 on your 1992 Ford Bronco, you will need to install a 4-Way Connector, the T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness, part # C55350, if you do not already have a 4-Way on your vehicle. You will need to use Brake Controller 7 & 4 Way Installation Kit,...

  • Yes, the white wire from the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # HM11140415, that you referenced is supposed to be grounded to a clean metal surface on the body of your vehicle.

  • Does Gas Tank have to be Loosened to Install Trailer Hitch on a 1995 Ford Bronco
  • The notes I have on installing Curt trailer hitch # 14001 on a 1995 Ford Bronco only say that you may need to loosen the bumper and reposition it upward and that the spare tire may need to be repositioned. Loosening the bumper will allow you more clearance to tighten the bolts. It sounds like you already have the hitch. If you plan on doing some towing and need additional accessories I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # EBMK2416. It includes a ball mount, 2 balls, a hitch pin with clip,...

  • Installing Curt Class IV Receiver Hitch # 14001 on 1995 Ford Bronco with 3 Inch Lift
  • If the lift kit does not interfere with or obstruct the bottom of the frame members where the hitch attaches to the vehicle, the fact that your Bronco is lifted should in no way affect the hitch installation. Due to the lift, you will need to choose a ball mount that places the trailer ball at the correct height so that your trailer is level when towed. I will link you to our ball mount FAQ article that shows how to measure for the correct rise or drop needed. I have also linked you to...

  • Providing a Maintenance Charge on a 12 Volt Battery for Truck Bed Mounted Sprayer Using an Isolator
  • The wiring on the 7-Way will not be sufficient to charge the break away battery and another battery on your sprayer. Instead, you will need to make a separate connection from the vehicle battery to the sprayer battery. You will need to use a battery isolator # PK5231201. Mounting it to the metal in the engine bay will ground it. Run a length of wire, # 10-1-1, from the positive battery terminal to one of the side posts on the isolator. Connect the center post (labeled 12V in the picture)...

  • Is It Ok To Install The Reese Friction Sway Control Kit # 83660 On A Residential Street
  • It really doesn't matter where you install the Reese Friction Sway Control Kit # 83660, you'll just want to install it on fairly level ground. If you installed it on a hill where the trailer was at a different angle than the tow vehicle then it would affect the effectiveness of the friction bar and either be too tight or too loose. Luckily this style of sway control is very easy to install and adjust by simply turning the handle.

  • How to Determine the Correct Brake Signal Wire for a Brake Controller on a 2021 Ford Bronco
  • It could be, however there isn't going t be a way to determine if that's the correct wire based off of the color. In order to find the correct brake signal wire behind the dash on your car, you're going to need to use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993. Then you will need to press the brake pedal in and test each of the wires running to the brake pedal in order to determine which wire only illuminates when the pedal is pressed. This will be the correct brake signal wire you will...

  • Wiring Diagram for Tekonsha PowerTrac Brake Controller
  • There isn't a diagram available specific to the Tekonsha PowerTrac Brake Controller # 39523 but it uses standard brake controller wiring. The black wire is for 12V power to the controller, the red wire is for brake input from the vehicle and it gets connected to the cold side of the brake light switch (the wire on your vehicle that ONLY gets power when the brake pedal is depressed), the blue wire is for brake output to the 7-Way connector, and the white wire is for ground. I have attached...

  • Can The Custer Light Bar Transmitter Be Placed In The Towed Vehicle 7-Way
  • No, the Custer Wireless LED Tow Bar Light # LIW-LDTL-7B would have to be in the motorhome 7-way in order to receive the traffic signals from the motorhome and send them to the light bar. If it was in the towed vehicle you wouldn't get a signal at all since the vehicle isn't running and sending anything to the 7-way. The Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR would get its power from the battery of the towed vehicle. In most vehicles the 12v outlet loses power when the vehicle isn't running so you would...

  • Brake Controller Installation and Recommendation for a 1996 Ford Bronco
  • At this time we have not had he chance to video a brake controller installation on a 1996 Ford Bronco. I do have some information that will be helpful though. If your Bronco has a factory 7-Way connector at the rear of the vehicle or if you have a factory tow package there will be a plug along the left frame rail behind the rear bumper. If this plug is present then you can look for a brake controller connector under the dash above the transmission hump. This connector will match up to...

  • The Pin for the Tow Bar Adapter Kit for an etrailer Tow Bar is Too Short to Go All the Way Through
  • I cannot locate an order for the etrailer Replacement Tow Bar Adapter Kit # e98978, but I do see that you have the etrailer XHD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox Base Plates # e67ZR which already includes the Tow Bar Adapter Kit # e98978 installed. Not sure if that is the one you meant, or if you are trying to add an additional adapter thinking it is needed. The two prongs on the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BLU23XR should fit inside of the 3 prongs on the Tow Bar Adapter Kit # e98978 on your...

  • Installation of Brake Controller on 1990 Ford Bronco.

The kit contains everything necessary for installing your brake controller, including the trailer connector, wire, and circuit breakers. The brake controller will have four wires exiting the rear. The black wire runs to the positive battery terminal, using the inline 20- or 30-amp circuit breaker included in the install...

  • Tips For Finding Reverse Light Wire for Installing 7-way On 2023 Ford Bronco
  • The easiest place to tap into the reverse light circuit for installing the Hopkins Endurance # HM47180 on your 2023 Ford Bronco will likely be behind the taillights themselves, but the harder part will be finding the right wire. You'll need to have a friend sit in your Bronco with it running and in reverse (I'd put the parking brake on for extra safety) and have them hit the brakes as well, while you using a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to test the wires for the one that only gets power...

  • Installation Tips For The Bestop Traditional Bikini Top On A 1970 Ford Bronco
  • Using a hair dryer on the channel # B51206 can sometimes help make a smoother transition for the Bestop Bikini Top # B5254201 but I wouldn't use any lubrications without reaching out to Bestop first to ensure that it won't have a negative reaction to the fabric. Vaseline would also allow dirt and debris to stick to it so it's best to avoid using lubrications like this. When installing fabrics into a c-channel I'll usually take a pair of needle nose pliers to the opening of the c-channel...
