Expert Answers about Mercury Mountaineer
- Where Does a Brake Controller Plug Into on a 2005 Mercury Mountaineer
- On your 2005 Mercury Mountaineer, if it came with a factory installed 7-Way trailer connector then the brake controller port will be located behind the glove compartment. If it came with a factory 4-Way then the brake controller will need to be hardwired in using # ETBC7.
For a brake controller I recommend the P2 # 90885 because its easy to set up and use. For a wiring harness the correct one is # 3035-P.

- You are testing correctly for the left and right turn signals, but the 3rd female plug you are testing is the taillight circuit. If you turn on the running lights you should get 12 volt power at the connection that the brown wire runs into.
To test the brake lights at the trailer connector you need to apply the brakes and test the connectors that the green and yellow wires go into. These are the same connections that you tested for the turn signals.
Trailer wiring combines the left turn/brake...

- The yellow fuse holder starts out as a closed loop. You will need to cut it in half. One end connects to the power wire you ran from the wiring harness. The other end will connect to the positive battery terminal. Inserting the fuse should be the last step.
Take a look at the video I have linked at about the 3:40 mark that shows our installer putting in the fuse holder. I have included some additional links that will help with installation.

You will see 7 wires coming from the front of the vehicle into one side and only 4 wires coming out of this connection point for your 4 way flat connector.
If you have this connection point, then you can pull back the plastic...

When wiring the Hopkins connector to your vehicle I would recommend to use a circuit tester like the Quickee Tester, # 3808 to test the functions of the wires and wire the connector by function and not just color.

- On 1999 Mercury Mountaineers that came with a factory tow package the connector you need will be the one on the passenger's side of the vehicle. Of course if it doesn't work you can try the other one you found.
Wiring harness # HM40915 and ones like are meant as replacements for the factory trailer connector on models that have the factory tow package. If your Mountaineer did not come with the factory tow package you will need a different harness, # 118345.
