TRAILER WIRING QUESTION


Recommended Posts

I recently bought a '16 MKX Reserve with what I believe to be a factory tow hitch. It has the regular 4 way trailer plug mounted the left of the receiver hitch. I needed to tow a small trailer the other day and I discovered I have no power to the right turn/brake terminal at the plug. Everything else works fine. I poked around a bit hoping to find trailer fuses or some thing but they must be things of the past. 

 

Does anyone know where the trailer light harness disappears to from the bumper area ? I am hoping I just have a bad connection somewhere.

 

Thanks

If your MKX is the same as the '16 Edge the cable runs from the 4way trailer plug to another plug in the passenger side rear wheel well.  Remove the cover and you'll see the plug.  From there the cable goes to a control box mounted behind the passenger side cargo panel.  The next stop is, I believe, a plug under the carpet in the passenger side just above the area where a passenger's right foot would rest.   You'll find the fuse for the whole thing in the under-hood box, Fuse #78.

 

Cheers!
