AvroAero, Chuck,
Thanks for the input. Sorry you don't have the schematics and I did see the photos of Chuck's '07 on a different site; nice ride and very useful pics of the fuse and relay. And yes, I should have opted for the HD towing package, but the deal was too good to pass up.
Chuck, any chance you could find and post the part number of the wiring harness on your '07?
I do need the back up lights and 12v power. I tow a pop up camper and the back up lights come in very handy backing into a camping spot at night and the 12v supply, despite its meager amperage, supplies enough power to suit my needs.
I finally dissected the wire bundle about two feet upstream from the 4-wire plug. Sure enough, there were only five wires. The standard 4 plus the blue brake wire.
I guess it's time to break out the wire cutter, electrical tape, and soldering gun (crimped connections are for those who enjoy electrical malfunctions). Hopefully someone will come up with a better solution before I start tearing apart my new Expedition this weekend!
Thanks to all,
JD
