Parts Needed to Activate 12 Volt Accessory Circuit of 2017 Ford F-150 7-Way
Question:
in my 2017 F150 XLT, I had a Primus IQ 90160 trailer brake installed by my RV dealer to tow a travel trailer. Brakes and light all work, however, i cannot charge my Travel trailer battery while towing. My RV technition told my Ford would have to correct this. My ford dealer informed me that I needed to install a controller for $625, but could not guarantee that by brakes would work. My question is: Is it possible to to correct this as it is or would it be easier to correct if I installed the ford brake controller module? If I dont intend to remote camp, is it necessary to have the charging feature while towing?

You'd just need a 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 ran through a circuit breaker like part # 9510 from the positive terminal of the battery to the 1:00 pin of the 7-way and the circuit would be active and ready to go. Much easier and less expensive than letting the dealer provide the solution they mentioned!
