How do I know if my 1999 Explorer Sport has the towing package?
I am trying to figure out what kind of trailer wiring harness to buy
for my 1999 ford explorer sport. I have done some research and see that there are 2 different harnesses that apply, one for the tow package and one for without. How do I tell if I have the towing package? I have looked through all of my manuals and found nothing. I see the two nipples behind the taillights but they are on both sides. One of them you have to run a power cord to the battery which seems ridiculous. |

First look to see if the harness extension is in where the jack is stowed.
Look under the vehicle, under where the jack is stowed and there should be a harness hanging down to which you plug the extension cord into > wrote in message oups.com... >I am trying to figure out what kind of trailer wiring harness to buy > for my 1999 ford explorer sport.

There are harness extension coming down from both taillights. There is
nothing where the jack is stowed. They are hanging down and connected to the taillights. I still do not know which harness to buy, one only plugs into one receptacle, which could work, but that would leave one receptable empty.

The towing package contains an extra radiator for the transmission fluid.
This extra radiator is smaller than the engine coolant radiator and visible behind the grille. > schrieb im Newsbeitrag ps.com... > There are harness extension coming down from both taillights.

Go to your local Ford Dealerships service department and have them order you
a pigtail. I paid like $20 for mine. You will only need one. You can plug it in to either the left or right side, which ever one makes you happy. The other side is for well, whatever it is that it does best, I guess! It's a 5-10 minute job. If your Explorer had the towing package, It would have a hitch and the wiring harness installed at the factory. Your local Ford Dealership will tell you most anything you want to know about this matter, mainly because they don't install hitches and hire out for electrical wiring matters.
