Expert Answers about Lincoln Navigator


  • Will Brake Circuit on 7-Way Show Brake Output Power When Vehicle is Still
  • In a typical vehicle 7-way socket the blue wire for the brake circuit (carried on the pin at the 5-o-clock position) will carry the trailer brake signal from the brake controller back to the 7-way socket. Whether or not you will detect a signal on that blue wire when the Navigator is still and with no trailer connected depends on the type of controller. A time-delay type controller like # 39523 will send out its selected power output whether you are moving or still, either by pressing...

  • Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Control on a 2014 Lincoln Navigator
  • This is most likely due to the pigtail you currently have. The 016118075076 (or # 22292 ) harness is designed to fit a Lincoln Navigator from 2015 to 2021. The port will look the same, but it will end up being pinned differently. For your 2014, you will need the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers # 3034-P. This will be pinned for your year Navigator and will get you all squared away.

  • Installing a Battery Charge Relay Blows 10 Amp Fuse on a 2007 Lincoln Navigator
  • Ford would certainly tell you that you must use the specific Ford relay for your 2007 Lincoln Navigator. A generic one that is rated and configured the same as that Ford relay should work just fine. But this one that was installed had to be modified and sounds like there is a good chance that it is not the right type of relay and could be the reverse polarity of the one that is needed. That would cause the fuse to blow. I recommend getting the right relay from a Ford dealer. You will also...

  • Disc Brakes Will Not Release On Boat Trailer
  • There could be several things that may cause issues with the brakes. Since you stated that you have always had the problem with the brakes slow release, I think the issue may be the controller. You said you have disc brakes on your trailer. This would require you to have an electric over hydraulic brake controller installed with your system. Based on the age of the controller, I would think that it is not compatible with the hydraulic brake system on the trailer. The first thing I would...

  • Troubleshooting Weak Trailer Braking with Curt Tri-Flex C24VV
  • Thank you for purchasing your Curt Tri-Flex trailer brake controller # C24VV and matching wiring adapter # C51322 for your 2009 Lincoln Navigator. I am sorry you are having an issue with the trailer braking power being weak. If your voltage readings are taken on the trailer at the brake assemblies, and you are reading 12V there, then chances are that the issue is on the trailer side. The pad tension, which is set with the star wheel adjuster, should be set so that with the trailer jacked...

  • No Power to Curt Echo Brake Controller
  • Thank you for your purchase from etrailer of the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # C51180. I assume there are no lights at all showing, and I'm not sure what testing you have done but the first thing you will want to do is check out your Navigator's 12 volt pin and test it to be sure that power is getting through and that the connector isn't dirty or corroded, as that will hamper the signals from getting through. If it isn't getting through there may be a fuse that is missing...

  • Ineffective Braking on Car Hauler Trailer Towed By 2008 Lincoln Navigator
  • There are a few things that could be causing your trailer brakes to preform poorly. As a start, make sure your trailer is not overloaded. If it is a 2 axle trailer with brakes only on one axle, you might consider adding brakes to the second axle. Even though the weight carried on the trailer might not be exceeding the trailer axle capacity, one braking axle might not be enough to efficiently stop the trailer when it is loaded. It is possible that your brake output wire is of too small...

  • Availability of Programmer to Improve Gas Mileage for 2004 Navigator
  • Based on my research, the average fuel economy for your vehicle is 11 mpg / city and 16 mpg / hwy. Because your fuel economy deteriorated so quickly, we suspect your spark plugs might be getting fouled. I would recommend pulling and examining your spark plugs to ensure they are not fouled with oil. If they are it would indicate that your engine needs work. I would also recommend checking your spark plug wires for damage. We do have some programmers that would provide a very modest improvement...

  • Troubleshooting Lights Of New Taillights On 5'x8' Trailer Working At Incorrect Times
  • This sounds like the typically tail light replacement where you hook stuff up color to color, and not function to function. You need to verify with a circuit tester like # PTW2993 that the connector on your vehicle is working correctly first. If you have all the correct functions on the correct pins (check out the attached help article) then the issue is with the trailer wiring, but if your factory connector is not working right then it's something on the vehicle side. Assuming the vehicle...

  • No Lights On Curt Echo While Plugged In
  • If the light on the Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180 does not illuminate once plugged-in then you most likely have an issue with the 12 volt power circuit on your 2007 Lincoln Navigator. I recommend removing the Echo and then testing the 1 o'clock pin on the 7-way with a circuit tester. If you don't have 12 volts here then you either have a wire short or blown fuse.
