Where do I connect the 118241 on my 1995 Ford Explorer?

Expert Reply:
If your 1995 Ford Explorer came with the factory tow package then the connector on the vehicle to plug the wiring harness into is located up behind the rear bumper on the passenger side or drivers side. I have linked a video showing an installation of harness # 118241 on a 1996 Explorer and the installation will be very similar on your 1995 model.
If your Explorer did not come with the factory tow package then you will need a different harness # 118345. It plugs in line with the vehicle tail light wiring. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you.
