Can Curt Trailer Wiring Power be Connected to 12V Plug in Back of 2019 Ford Edge
Question:
I have a 2019 Ford Edge Titanium and I dont like the idea of running a power wire all the way to the front of the car. I do have a cigar style 12v plug on the drivers side read compartment. Can I use the power and ground of that circuit? I would only have to run the wire 3 feet. I have a small boat trailer and i run LED style lights for the brake and turn so they are low voltage anyway.

We get this question a lot and while you can technically install the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C89FR in whichever manner you want, if you connect the power wire to that 12V plug on your 2019 Ford Edge as opposed to the battery you run the risk of overloading that circuit and voiding your warranty. Because of this we always recommend routing the power wire directly to the battery, per the instructions, to protect the OEM wiring on your vehicle.
Running the power wire to the front of your vehicle can be a bit of a pain but it's better to take longer to install the power wire than to end up damaging the wiring on your vehicle.
