  1. Correct. Everything except for the running lights(pin 3 in your diag) work. Backup, 12volt charge, blinkers, brakes and stop lights all work. According to my RV dealer, they would most likely have to adapt something off the tail lights of my car, but suggest against it, since the wires and I quote "are too thin to carry the voltage needed for your trailer". He said he could try, but advised looking into running a line directly from the battery. Ford advised against running to the battery because it will screw up the "Battery Maintenance controller(BMC)" So im stuck at this point. The people over at ETrailer suggested I could get a power module/converter off the tail light harness, but I can't seem to find one that will convert to 7 pin.
  2. I have a 2012 ford explorer xlt without the OEM tow package. I have an Apex Hybrid trailer with 7 pin connection. My RV dealer installed a Tekonsha 118540 from the ford harness and from that adapted a 7 pin. All the pins work except for the 12v running lights. I was told I might need a special adapter from the tail lights or battery to get this to work. Some helpfull people have suggested the Curt C56093. But that only gives me the 4 pin. I need the 7 pin. Is anyone familiar with how this is done?
