Recommended Route for Power Wire on a 2015 Ford Escape with Fuse Panel at the Rear
Updated 08/16/2016 | Published 08/15/2016 >
Question:
I have read reviews and forums that suggest wiring into the rear fuse panel, located in the rear cargo area of the vehicle, instead of routing the power wire all the way under the vehicle to the battery. Is this recommended? If so, how would this be done?

Great question, I asked my contact at Curt and he informed me that to protect the vehicle as well as the wiring harness converter the power wire needs to be run to the battery.
I have linked the Curt wiring harness to this page for your purchasing convenience.
