Trailer Wiring Harness 04 Escape - Wire Colors

[EmersonHart13]

Just found out I will be installing a trailer wiring harness for an 04 Escape tonight....

Does anyone happen to know the wiring colors for the install, so far I have not been able to find them, or a diagram of the taillights.

I will need:

Taillight
Left Turn
Right Turn
Stop

I found someone who says taillights are brown and Brake is Blue/White... Obviously I will need to test this, would like to know as much as possible before starting.

Here is the harness being installed: http://hfi-assets.kdsi.net/product_img/highres/119175.jpg

Thanks,

My wife has a 01 Escape, and I could look at it tonight and see how its wired if that would help...

Is it aftermarket? If it has the factory tow package it wont help because it is different.

(I can't view YT vids from work, but I hope that is right)

also: You need the upgraded turn signal relay SF621. To access it you pop of the end cap of the dash on the drivers side. You can push it out from under the dash. After you did that you'll see the blue relay. The new one is yellow.

That one has plugs... The kit I will be installing does not! GGGrrr...

I saw a YT video where they put in a 4 pole plug...

Do get the signal relay though.

Freaking relay... Do you happen to know if it is dealer only?

I found this video for the 04 Mazda Tribute...

Green/White – Left Turn
Blue/White – Right Turn
Brown – Running Lights
Light Green – Brakes

If I listened correctly... I will know in 2 hours if it works.

Just to confirm, that is exactly how mine is wired up.

Worked flawlessly without the flasher. Thanks for your help.
