Trailer Wiring Problem

[BigJWalt]

Does anyone know if it is difficult to hook up a trailering harness? Does Ford have a hot wire already run to the back of the vehicle, so I can just hook into that?

U-haul hooked one up for me by running a hot wire to the battery, then using their converter thingy that they said was needed. Well that keeps blowing out fuses or the convertor breaks. All this in 1 month.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you, Jerry

There should be a plug near the drivers side taillight that the trailer harness just plugs into.

Some explorers didn't have the option. Like my poor 98 ex

Not hard if you can read an EWD.

I bet the bulbs and/or the new harness are causing to many amps to be drawn causing poped fuses........
