Dave, unless your wiring harnesses are different than my XL, which I doubt, it should work. Have you purchased the Nilight or waiting to see if there is a solution first? If I had a Nilight in your situation, I’d try the Opt7. If it doesn’t connect to your brake light connections, that’s a quick...
I am using the Opt7 on my 2025 Ford Maverick XL. It connects direct to the lighting and the Nilight strip and it works perfectly. Because it’s direct to the lights and not connected to the hitch, it does not alter any of the safety features. When you connect direct to the trailer hitch...
2025 XL with technology package. When Opt7 is used with the Nilight, it does not impact any of the other technology, sensors, etc. The hitch plugin sensed a trailer and kept alerting that it was turning off blind spot and rear sensors.
So before when I tried to plug into the hitch, it detected a “trailer” and switched off all my sensors. With Opt 7 on my 2025 Ford Maverick, it connects directly to the taillights so I can’t see how it would impact anything more, it’s also $29.
Truly plug and play all the way. Plug into power, plug connector to taillight (each side), then plug female trailer hitch adapter to the Nilight male connector - tuck wires - DONE.
I already installed it so it’s not visible.
Bottomline, the harness has a Y connection for L & R rear lights. One goes to the vehicle power cable, the other goes to the brake light while the cable goes back to a female hitch connector that connects to the Nilight male hitch adapter. Same for...
Just installed the Opt7 harness. Perfect, installed easily using existing connections. $29. Lights and Nilight all work great. Installed in 10 minutes. Took longer to secure the extra cord than anything else!!!
It’s the backup, cross lane and blind spot sensors are cut off when plugged into the trailer circuit. It’s good when trailer attached otherwise the sensors will keep sensing the trailer but when you plug the Nilight, it senses that as a trailer and shuts off all your safety sensors.
I recently installed a Nilight rear taillight strip. When plugged into hitch receiver plug, the vehicle automatically senses a trailer attached and cuts off all sensors.
is there a way to avoid this so the light works but doesn’t turn sensors off?
