Recommended Load Resistors For Trailer With LED Lights Causing Hyper-Flashing On 2013 Ford Escape
Updated 07/25/2017 | Published 07/22/2017
Question:
I have a Ford Escape 2013 SUV with a factory installed tow package. I purchased a small cargo trailer with LED lights. I need an adapter - 4 wire to 4 wire to make the lights work properly. I want to stop the rapid flash, and the irritating DING and trailer light out warning every time i use the signal light I know you have a 4 to 7 adapter. is there one for 4 wire to 4 wire? If i have to adapt the harness on the trailer, thats fine, but even the trailer/RV dealers here dont have a clue What can I do.

We do not have a 4-way to 4-way adapter with the diodes that stop the hyper flashing.
You can install load resistors like part # DI34ZR. You would install the load resistors on the affected circuits. I have attached a drawing that shows how the resistors should be installed.
