Parts Needed to Install Brake Controller in a 2017 Ford Escape
Question:
I have a Prodigy P2 brake control module from my last car and have a 2017 Ford Escape with a factory tow package with 4 pin trailer plug. Im looking for the wiring needed to wire this brake controller to the 7 pin trailer plug that I have. Im looking to control electric brakes on a hybrid camper. Thanks!

Expert Reply:
Your 2017 Ford Escape can easily have the Prodigy P2 part # 90885 installed in it, but there isn't a factory port on the vehicle to allow for a simple plug-in install.
Since you have a 4-way the part number you need is the # ETBC7 which converts the 4-way to a 7-way and comes with everything needed to finish the install. I attached an install video that shows it used on a similar Ford Escape as yours.
