Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 2004 Ford Explorer Video

We do have a solution for you, however, you will not be able to power reverse lights on a trailer with a 4-pin trailer connector. The reverse lights on a trailer must receive power from the reverse lights on the tow vehicle. To do this, you will…

The orientation/angle of the Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller part #C51180 does not matter. I have confirmed this with Curt many times and they say it does not matter what angle the Echo is mounted at, you will still have the same braking…

If you have a vehicle specific wiring harness for a brake controller then that would indicate that you have a factory tow package and subsequently would already have a 7-way at the back of your vehicle. The universal 7-way connector #ETBC7 is meant…

In US left hand drive models, the connector for the brake controller is located behind the glove box, as you can see in the install video I've linked for you. We've had no experience with Australian market Explorers, but if the plug…

For the most reliable and safe connection possible, Curt recommends obtaining the power for the controller directly from the vehicle battery and running the circuit through a 30 amp breaker like what's provided with the #ETBC7. This way, you…

The trailer brake output or blue wire is not connected on a 4 to 7-way adapter like the 4 to 7-Way with 4-Way Adapter part #ETBC7L when using a wireless trailer brake controller like the Curt Echo Wireless Brake Controller part #C51180. The two…

If the truck had a factory 7 way installed at the factory, it should be plug and play. If the 7 way was installed at the dealer, it may be missing a fuse or breaker. The 12V trailer charge is a separate circuit. That is to supply power directly…

I did some checking and it looks like your 2007 Mercury Mountaineer has a towing capacity of 3,500 lbs. You would need to check your owners manual or with Mercury to verify this based on how the vehicle is equipped. We have hitches like the Draw…
