Question:
On a 2023 Subaru ascent, is it required to have the 7-pin dc charger fuse on the tow vehicle in place for this brake controller to work when towing? I don’t want my tow vehicle to charge my trailer battery because I want to transition to a lithium battery on the trailer and don’t want that to connect to my tow vehicle.

Expert Reply:
The 12V power to your 7-way and brake controller should be separate so it wouldn't impact the power to # RED44FR. It sounds like you have the tow package so the # RED63RR will be a better option. This comes with an adapter that will allow you to use the # 3062-P wiring harness for a plug and play installation.
