Question:
Have a 2023 Ford Escape Factory trailer package installed, but only the 4-pin flat connector at the hitch. I do have a tent trailer, which has a 7-way connector, with a break controller. I really like the Redarc Trailer Brake controller RED52VR, and was wondering a few things: 1 - ive seen posts for other models of cars that there is likely a grey connector underneath the drivers side panel that the redarc controller could connect to - do you have anything showing where that connector would be for a 2023 Escape 2 - since I do have the trailer package, would wires still need to be run from the back to the front to install the ETBC7 to get me the 7-pin connector, or will that connector under the drivers side panel if exists as per question 1 above run to the rear of the car appreciate your help!
