How to Add 5-Way Wiring Harness to a 2012 Ford Edge
Question:
2012 Ford Edge. Is there a wiring harness kit with a 5 pole plug to tow my boat trailer? The extra pole is for the surge brake cutout in reverse. Thanks.

We do have some options for you to add a 5-Way wiring connector on your 2012 Ford Edge, but the available wiring kits that tee in behind the tail lights don't come with 5-Way connectors.
Your options to adding a 5-Way include using a wiring kit like the T-One # 118515 and then cutting off the 4-Way and splicing in a 5-Way like the Hopkins # HM37908, OR you can just install a 5-Way harness that splices in completely like the Tekonsha # 119177KIT.
Attached are some videos you can check out as well as a wiring diagram for the Tekonsha that completely splices in.
