Where to Locate the Factory Brake Controller Plug in a 2022 Ford Explorer with Factory 7-way
Question:
My 2022 Ford Explorer XLT has a tow package but I cant find a connector on the vehicle to hook up my brake controller.

Since your 2022 Ford Explorer has the factory tow package with 7-way connector there will be a plug/port that you can plug the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers # 3035-P into when installing a Tekonsha brake controller like the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195 to provide for a plug-n-play installation.
The port will be located behind the appearance panel on the driver's side. Just remove the two screws to get the panel to drop, you are looking for a grey plug. The grey plug is sometimes taped together to another plug. It is typically found about where your right knee would be if you were sitting in the drivers seat.
I have attached a video of a 2013 Explorer that shows an alternate location the plug may be located, as well as how to access it. That information begins at around the 9:37 mark.
