LED Trailer Lights Not Compatible With 2013 Ford Escape
Question:
I have a 2013 Ford Escape with the factory tow package. I added a 7 way round connector but just found out that this system is incompatible with LED trailer lights. What do I need to adapt my system to work with LED trailer lights?

Expert Reply:
We see often that the LED trailer lights do not offer enough draw on the system for the lights to work. Sometimes you will also get a bulb-out warning in the vehicle. An adapter that has load resistors in it, # C35FR, can provide enough draw so the lights will work and so you will not get that bulb-out warning. The adapter # C57003 will go from a 7-Way to a 7-Way for your situation.
