Does Tekonsha T-One Connector 118715 For 2017 Ford Escape Need To Be Hooked Up To Battery?
Question:
Rather than running a power wire all the way to the battery, can it be tied in to the 12v accessory outlet just inside the tailgate? It seems that would be a much simpler option, since thats where all of the other connections are. Thanks.

I wish that would work, but the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118715 you were looking at for your 2017 Ford Escape will need to have the power run directly to the positive terminal of your battery.
The reason for this is the module needs to have a dedicated circuit to the battery, and cannot be added to an existing circuit. Doing so will void the warranty of the harness.
I included a video of the # 118715 for you to take a look at.
