Expert Reply:
The reason why you are seeing this issue is because when pairing the phone you likely already have your trailer 7-Way plugged into the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # C51180. If you unplug the Echo, then unplug the 7-Way from the Echo, and then delete the app from your phone, you can then reinstall the app and then plug your Echo into the 7-Way on your 2020 Ford Ranger (by itself) until the Echo has a solid blue light.
If this doesn't work let me know and I can help you troubleshoot further.
