May seem scary, but really isn't. Put the pin on a wire and insert it into the harness. Im not a well trained guy. Pretty much everything i learn is from forums and youtube and i did it no problem

I finally ran a wire from the 7 pin to the orange wire. So much easier to run a wire on the Expedition than on my Honda Odyssey.@bsevans5 i was just too chicken to pull apart the wire harness so I used a Posi-tap. Now I have 12 V going to my trailer. Hooray

Where under the hood is the orange wire or where did you make the tap?
Thanks!

bsevans5, can you tell me how to get that connector apart? It looks complex

I was not able to find the correct pin to put in the connector. So what I ended up doing was cutting the orange wire, and using a barrel connector to extend the wire to the rear of the car.
What are recommendations for tapping in to reverse wire to run to the 7 pin?

I used a positap connector on the reverse wire. It is below and to the outside of the orange wire. Its a GY-BN 18 gauge wire in connector 139 position 22 which is the lowest most inboard position.

In my 2016 owners manual under fuse specification chart I believe it is the #48 40 amp fuse. If it doesn't have a fuse then you'll need to get one and just remember to get the low profile fuses. Remarkably easy to run a line back to the trailer hitch.
