Question:
2021 Ford Escape Hybrid with Roadmaster base plate, diode wiring kit and charge line. I was distracted when connecting the vehicle up to our motorhome and accidentally touched the metal tip of the air brake hose to the 6/7 way connector on the front of the car, resulting in a spark. The turn signals and brake indicator work properly but the motorhome no longer charges the car battery. We arrived at our destination with a dead battery. Do I need to install a new circuit breaker? Any assistance you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Helpful Expert Reply:
Since the battery jumper terminal of your 2021 Ford Escape Hybrid connects directly to the battery you could use it with a charge line like the # RM-156-25 instead of running to the battery.
