There was a post and someone found the 40Amp trailer lighting fuse in and traced to behind glove box but dead ended with a 10AWG . on a base sport. If anyone installed a hitch and Ford $125 wire trailer power module for 4 pin wiring, I wonder if I can get away with a power wire I found in rear quarter panel but it is 16 AWG. KIT has12 AWG red power to battery but tow limit is 2000 and no brakes required on trailer.
It is reported that a 17 AWG wire is rated at 17 AMP at 0 feet, but at 15 feet length will lose say 45% so that still leaves say 9 Amps at rear quarter panel and should be on 10 Amp fuse.
Will that 16 AWG power wire work for me, instead of taking apart the whole left side floor molding on a new sport and I dont like to wire power line directly to battery without a shut off when I am not running engine, may kill battery by draining over time.
