There is a panel above the pedals you will need to remove on your 2023 Ford Explorer. Once you get this out of the way you will see the gray plug up behind the brake pedal. Remove the dummy plug and you will be able to plug in the # 3035-P.

If you watch the attached installation video below starting at the 7 minute mark you will see how to remove the panel and the location of your factory plug.
