- 1999 Explorer Sport
OK, - - just recently purchased a 1999 Ford Explorer (Sport), - - and need to be able to pull a trailer once in a while. So, after checking around (mostly here, thanks), I was able to determine all I needed to do was hook up an '8-pin round' to '4-pin flat' adapter-cable to the capped jack located behind and just underneath the back driver's side taillight area. I then, after testing for power, plugged my trailer jack into this new hookup , and all seemed fine, my trailer lights all worked as they should. So, I then unplugged the trailer, and re-parked the Explorer back in my driveway. Only thing was, then, even though the trailer was unhooked and my dashboard headlight switch was 'off', both the headlights and the tail-lights stayed on. (Note: Autolamp was set to 'Off'). Anywayz, I then realized I could only turn the lights back off by lowering the dashboard-light dimmer control to the 'Off' position. Is this normal?? TIA
