Expert Reply:
In regards to installing a trailer wiring harness like the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # C56320 on a 2018 Ford Escape, you must run the power wire directly to the battery per the instructions. This is the only way to ensure the circuit will be rated correctly for the converter module. I cannot recommend any other power source.
