Expert Reply:

We've found that approaching a brake controller install on a 2017 Ford Expedition with a factory 4-way is easiest if you just convert the 4-way to a 7-way with the part # ETBC7 since accessing the wiring that is only sometimes present on your vehicle for wiring a brake controller is pretty difficult to find.

So you'd want a brake controller like our best selling and performing P3 part # 90195 and the # 22292 to power and provide the brake signal and then you'd use the wiring of the # ETBC7 kit to run the blue wire from the brake controller back to the blue wire of the 7-way adapter that comes with the ETBC7.
