• Installation of 7-Way and Brake Controller on 2016 Ford Expedition with Factory 4-way
• For your 2016 Ford Expedition, I recommend the Prodigy P3 # 90195 for a brake controller due to the ease of use and reliability. It is a customer favorite because of the LCD screen and diagnostics as well as preset boost options. You will then use custom wiring adapter # 22292 which connects to a factory harness behind your dash. I've attached installation instructions to assist. As you stated, there is a blue brake wire and there is also a hot lead wire that is orange or red. This...

• The Camco UltraGuard Class A RV Cover # CAM45733 that you referenced would fit the same trailer as the Expedition travel trailer cover you mentioned would. Yes the straps of this do attach underneath the trailer.

• Installation Video of ETBC7 and Tekonsha Primus IQ on 2017 Ford Expedition
• Just to be clear, you need the Universal Installation Kit # ETBC7 to install the Tekonsha Primus IQ # TK90160 on your 2017 Ford Expedition. The # ETBC7L will not have the wire you need for the installation and is designed for a brake controller like the Curt Echo # C51180 which plugs in line with your 7-way. Although we do not have an installation video with the Primus IQ, I did find one which includes the # ETBC7 as well as the # RED44FR brake controller that you can use as a reference....

• How to Run a Reverse Lamp Circuit on a Travel Trailer
• Well, that will depend on what your definition of nightmare is. Since you're speaking of a travel trailer, I'll assume the trailer uses a 7-way trailer connector. The first thing you'll want to do is to make sure the reverse lamp circuit is active on the car's trailer connector. Use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 and test the center pin on the connector as the vehicle is shifted into reverse. The pin should power up. Then, you'll need to see if the 7-way on the trailer is accessible...

• Does the Roadmaster Even Brake Braking System Require a Signal From the Motorhome
• The Roadmaster Even Brake Portable Supplemental Braking System part # RM-9400 in its most simplest form is a proportional brake controller. There won't be a direct connection to the tow vehicle's brakes. The unit has an internal inertia sensor which while the unit is powered on will sense deceleration from the tow vehicle and then apply the brakes on the towed vehicle in a value related to the rate of deceleration. Please note, if the 12 volt outlet isn't powered on while the vehicle is...

• Mounting Curt Front-Mount Hitch Receiver #31352 on 2005 Ford Eddie Bauer 4WD Expedition
• This front-mount hitch receiver, part # 31352, is the correct specified part for your 2005 Ford Expedition 4WD. I spoke to my contact at Curt Manufacturing regarding the third mounting hole, which evidently is missing from your Expedition. I am told that although this does not happen often, on occasion the vehicle manufacturer may omit the step of punching this third mounting hole. If your expedition lacks this third hole you will need to drill the frame rails. You should temporarily...

• Trailer Fuse Locations on 2017 Ford Expedition
• I looked at the owner's manual for your 2017 Ford Expedition to find the location of the fuses that are for towing a trailer. You might be best off checking your own manual to verify but here's what I found: In the power distribution box in the engine compartment the trailer lighting fuses and relays are cavities 24, 28, 31, and 39. The fuse for electric trailer brakes is a 30 amp in cavity 18. There are also two fuses labeled "Trailer Tow Module" in cavities 21 and 48. There's also...

• Curt Echo Controller for 2018 Ford Expedition LTD
• The Curt Echo, part # C51180, runs on Apple devices with iOS 8 or higher. That's actually pretty old dating all the way back to the iPhone 4S so your iPhone 7's and your 6th generation iPad won't have any issues at all. As long as your 2018 Ford Expedition has a 7-way trailer connector and the 12 volt pin works then you won't need to do anything to the vehicle to use the Echo.

• Wiring Harness to Install Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller in a 2003 Ford Expedition
• The pigtail to connect the P3 brake controller, # 90195, to your 2003 Ford Expedition is sold separately. It is # 3035-P. These are the only 2 parts you will need since your Expedition already has the factory tow package and 7-Way trailer connector.

• Wiring a P2 Brake Controller to Factory Harness on a 2007 Ford Expedition
• On the P2 brake controller # 90885 the white wire is ground and will go to the white ground wire on your 2007 Ford Expedition. The brake controller red wire will go to the Ford green wire for input from the brake switch. The brake controller blue wire will go to the Ford red wire for output to the electric trailer brakes. That just leaves the brake controller black wire which I believe is going to go to that blue wire on the Ford Expedition. It would not use the brown wire since the brake...

• Will Trailer Hitch Cover Light Cause Trailer Warning Message on 2018 Ford
• We do get a number of questions from people getting warning messages about their trailer wiring when towing with newer Ford trucks. It's normally because the truck senses the trailer like it's supposed to but the trailer has LED lights which draw less power than incandescent lights and therefore the truck thinks there's a problem because of the lower power draw. Basically the truck thinks a light is out even though it isn't. The trailer hitch cover, part # CR-007, is an incandescent...

• Does Prodigy RF Brake Controller Have To Be Paired Every Time It Is Used
• If you are using multiple vehicles and trailers, the Tekonsha RF Brake Controller, part # TK94FR will need to be paired each time you change either the vehicle or trailer. The RF senses the distance from the ground and when towing with different components whether it is the trailer or tow vehicle, it needs to reset to that configuration. If you are single-towing which is using the same trailer and tow vehicle every time you do not have to pair it each time, even if you disconnect them...

You will need to plug the one end of the adapter to the brake controller and the other end into the built-in harness beneath your vehicles dash.

• Using a Brake Controller on 2000 Ford Expedition With Factory 4-Flat
• Since you have the factory 4-way on your 2000 Ford Expedition, there is one other piece you will need to use your brake controller, the 4-Pole to 7-Pole and 4-Pole Adapter # 37185. You will also likely need a bit of extra wire, # 12-1-1, to install this adapter in your 2000 Expedition.

• Tapping into a Reverse Light Wire to Install a 7-Way Trailer Connector on a 2017 Ford Expedition
• You could use a fuse tap and get the reverse light signal from the fuse box on your 2017 Ford Expedition. But this will only work if the reverse lights are the only thing on that circuit. Otherwise the reverse lockout and trailer reverse lights could come on unintentionally. It looks like in the fuse box under the hood there is a trailer tow back up lamp circuit that could be used but it may not have power since your Expedition doesn't have the HD tow package. The vehicle reverse light...

• Can a 7-Way Connector be Added to a 2006 Expedition with a 4-Way For Electric Trailer Brakes Only
• Your thoughts are correct. The 12 volt power wire, or battery charge wire, is not necessary for the trailer brakes to work. If you use a 4-pin to 7-pin adapter, like part # 37185, you can connect the 4-pin plug from the adapter to your existing 4-pin trailer connector, ground the white wire, run the blue wire to your trailer brake controller, and tie off the reverse light wire and 12 volt power wire. This will allow you to tow a trailer with functioning electric brakes and lights. If your...

• Will 2018 Ford Expedition Battery Drain when Flat Towing it Behind an RV
• According to the 2018 Ford Expedition owner's manual: ". . . turn the ignition as far as it can go toward the off position. It does not turn fully off when the transmission is in neutral (N). If your vehicle has an ignition key, you must leave the key in the ignition while towing. To lock and unlock your vehicle, use the keyless entry keypad or an extra set of keys. If your vehicle has intelligent access, press the engine START/STOP button once without pressing the brake pedal. You do...

• Does Travel Trailer Battery Connector Need to Have Ground Connection
• Yes, whether you plan on using the Pollak Single-Pole # PK11852 (which is geared more towards winches) or the 7-Way Round RV Style Trailer Connector - Trailer Side # A7WCB (which is recommended for a travel trailer), you will not only connect the power wire but you also need to have a ground connection as well. The single pole connector has a ground connection on top of it while the 7-Way has a pin designated for the ground (see attached picture).
