Trailer wiring question
Just got a '05 escape Hybrid and am going to install a trailer hitch and wiring. (don't worry it's only for a small utility trailer (usually only 5-800 lbs. I have a Chrysler T&C for heavy towing).
Thinking of using a Hopkins 46365 Short Proof Power Converter (Amazon) for the light wiring. It says it "Requires Installation Of Battery Feed Wire". Does anyone know if there is a 12v live wire available in the back end that I can use for this so I don't have to run one from up front. I will if I have to, but don't want to if I don't have to.

Re: Trailer wiring question
I had to run a wire from the battery on back. It wasn't a bad job - just follow the rear AC lines that run front to back. I put mine in a flexible plastic sheath to protect it from abrasion.
