Installing a Tekonsha Voyager Trailer Brake Controller on a 2013 Ford Escape
Question:
I want to install this controller that came out of a 2002 Ford Windstar into the 2013 Ford Escape. How do I install it if there is no factory harness connector because it was cut off in the disassembly from the Windstar?

Expert Reply:
To install the Voyager brake controller # 39510 on your 2013 Ford Escape you will need to hardwire it in. The brake controller should still have the blunt cut wires coming out of the back and that is what you will need to hardwire in the controller.
You will also need to install a 4-Way wiring harness unless the vehicle already has one. You can use # 118566 to install a 4-Way. Then you would need a 4 and 7 way installation kit # ETBC7 to add the 7-Way and for the other wiring and accessories needed to complete the installation.
I have included some links that explain the ETBC7 installation for you. The video is a different vehicle but all ETBC7 installations are basically the same.
