Hello all! My first post Just bought my '08 FEH and LOVE it!!!! Traded in an 04 Expedition and feel soooo good now to get that monkey off my back.

I plan on towing a small pop up camper, wt=1350 or so. Looking at the other forum posts I decided to go to Etrailers and get set up. Well, as an after thought I called up Ford to see if they did have a part for the Towing Harness I would need. They have 2 wiring harnesses it appears One for a FEH with the backup sensors and one without? Well, I have the backup sensors!

My plan was to get the Harness from Etrailer.com part # 118426 . Anyone used this or have the backup sensors? Will it mess something up using this harness or just be beeping while I backup? Have to admit I am a bit nervous putting this stuff on due to warranty issues too.

Hope to post more often and be a part of the community here!

While I guess things could have changed for '08, I would suggest really checking that the Ford trailer wiring harnesses are truly for the hybrid.

 

I just went through all that last week. Check out this thread: https://www.greenhybrid.com/discuss/...ad.php?t=13421

The harness you will get from Ford will not work. At least on mine there was no place to plug in.

You have backup sensors, I just don't understand why a backup circuit has anything to do with stop or turn signals. My suspicion is that that harness will not work, even with your options.

The e-Trailer plug in unit is nice, just wish I had the time to spare. I needed it the next day but shipping was 3-4 days. Don't forget to get the powered module too!

Thanks for the info guys! When I get this setup I will let you know how it goes.
