Does 2003 Lincoln Aviator With Tow Package Have Tow Port for Brake Controller

Question

Question:

Hello, Can you tell me where the port to connect the brake controller is located on my 2003 Lincoln Aviator with factory tow package . It has the 7 way connector in back and the 3.7 rear end gears witch I believe comes with the factory tow package. I have looked up under the driver side dash and also behind the glove box, but I can’t find the connection to connect the controller ?

Unlike the Navigator, the 2003 Lincoln Aviator does not have a factory tow port under the dash. This means you will need to hardwire your # 90885 for installation. If you would rather not perform a hardwire installation, the only option would be to use a brake controller like the Curt Echo # C51180. This plugs in-line with the 7-way at the rear of the vehicle so no real installation or wiring is required.

It sounds like you are speaking of the wires for the brake magnets. If this is correct, you will need to connect one of the wires to the brake controller output wire on your trailer connector and the other wire will need to be grounded to a clean…

That's a very good question, we tend to be extra cautious and say to use 10 gauge wire because that would be more than enough. When you get into longer trailers that will end up using a lot of wire the heavier gauge wire becomes more necessary.…
