Parts Needed to Install 7-Way on a 2004 Ford Explorer Sport Trac Without Tow Package  

Published 07/15/2023



Question:

I have a 2004 Ford Explorer sport trac xlt. I don’t see the harness for a brake controller. I need to hook up the 12v charging and electric brakes through a 7 pin connector. Is there a way to do this without running new wire from the hitch under the truck, motor, and then inside the vehicle? Is it possible to just use an adapter?

Expert Reply:

Since you aren't seeing a factory harness for the brake controller it means your 2004 Ford Explorer Sport Trac doesn't have the factory tow package so you'll need to install the Universal Wiring Kit # ETBC7 to a 4-Way # C58044 and then route the wiring from the back of your vehicle up to the battery and inside your cab so the 7-Way will be fully functional.

We actually installed this on an '03 Sport Trac so I've linked that here for you to reference.

If you don't already have a brake controller I recommend checking out the Tekonsha Voyager # 39510 and Pigtail # 20127 as this controller is both cost and operator friendly.
