Question:
I have a 2023 Volvo XC90 Recharge without tow package. I have installed hitch e53KR and T-One 4-pole flat trailer connector 118683. Working great. I would like to install Brake controller RED24FR. I understand I need Part ETBC7. Do I need anything else to complete the job? Thanks, Allen

Hey Allen,
Nope, you won't need anything else at all; since you already have the 4-Way # 118683 on your 2023 Volvo XC90 Recharge, all you'll need to install the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED24FR is the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7.
You'll just plug your 4-flat into the 7-way that comes with the # ETBC7, which also gives you the wiring, circuit breakers, and rest of the hardware needed for installation.
