Parts Needed to Install a Trailer Brake Controller on a 2005 Lincoln Aviator
Question:
Does my 2005 Lincoln Aviator have a factory brake controller plug?
asked by: Emily
Expert Reply:
From what I show, a brake controller would have to be hardwired into a 2005 Lincoln Aviator. If the vehicle does not have a 4-Way trailer connector, you will need to start by adding one, # 18252. I have included a video link showing a typical installation for you.
You will then need a 4 and 7 Way installation kit # ETBC7. This will provide a 7-Way at the back of the vehicle and all of the wiring needed to install the brake controller. I have included some links that explain the ETBC7 installation.
For a brake controller, I recommend the Tekonsha P2, # 90885. It is one of our best selling controllers because it is easy to set up and easy to use. I have included a link to the installation instructions for the brake controller as well.
