Installation of a Wiring Harness on a 2005 Ford Escape
Today we are going to install part number 40455 from Hoppe. We are going to install this on a 2005 Ford Escape. This particular vehicle has a tow package. Not all vehicles come with a tow package but this one does so we will show you what to look for if yours does. To find the Tow Package port it is on this bracket facing the inside of the bumper. It is a pain to see so you have to kinda feel around for it while looking for it. You pull it loose then remove this little cap here. Then our part comes with a little bit of dielectric grease. Go ahead and squirt some of that on the plug. It will not take much just put a little bit on. Then you can press it back together. Then the rest of this will go out to your hitch. At that point take your excess wire and zip tie it to whatever you can behind the bumper. Leave what you need out for your trailer hitch. I like to leave it right by the chain here and zip tie it behind this bracket here. That way if you ever need excess it will be easy to get too.
All we do is run this wire around the bracket here and make it go back against it self with the excess and just use the zip tie to hold it into place. Then further up the line there is a hole on the bracket we can use to zip tie that. To keep that from moving around also. Also to protect the terminals it might be a good idea to add some dielectric grease in there as well. Just a little dab not too much. You can wrap it 2 times around the chain holder if you need too. There you have it for part number 40455 from Hoppe.
