Does Sensor Near Battery have to be Moved to Install a Brake Controller in a 2011 Ford Edge
Updated 09/12/2016 | Published 09/09/2016
Question:
Really great instructional videos. One question. In the 2001 Ford Edge brake install video 20:25 it makes references to pulling the sensor off the fire wall. Why is that? If left in place will it really ground out? Is it ok to leave it laying on top of the battery? Will it get damaged bouncing around? Is there a way to isolate it so it wont risk getting ground out? Thank you

In the video, linked for reference, our installer moved that sensor out of the way because more room was needed for the circuit breakers he mounted in that same general area. If you put the circuit breakers somewhere else you would not have to move that sensor. Once the hood is closed there wouldn't be a lot of room for it to move around anyway but if you needed to move it you could secure it better by zip-tying it to something else near by.
