Will the 4-Way of the ETBC7 Mate Properly to the 4-Way of a 2004 Ford Expedition
Question:
Installing a ETBC7 on a 2004 Ford Expedition. In the video of the installation on your website the 4 way connection is not covered by a rubber shroud/dust cover. In the still pictures the 4 way is totally covered. The factory 4 way on my expedition is totally covered with the shroud/dust cover so, which one would I get if I were to order the ETBC7 for the expedition. If both have the dust covers they wouldnt be able to mate together.

Helpful Expert Reply:
The difference between the two 4-ways you described is that one is an uncovered (or male),4-way connector that should be on the trailer side and the covered (female) side of the connector should be on the vehicle side.
The # ETBC7 comes with the correct style 4-way connector that will attach directly to the 4-way of your 2004 Ford Expedition.
I attached an install video that shows the # ETBC7 being installed on a 2004 Ford Expedition for you to check out as well.
