Got everything figured out except how to connect the charging wire to the jump post under the hood. From what I've read, the jump post is the point of attachment. However, right next to the jump post is another 12 v source to the battery. ??
I connected my charge wire to the red jump point. While I know that the black bolt also says 12 volts, it also has a line through it meaning not to use it as a jump point, so I use the red one. Make a ring terminal and find a nut to thread on top of it. Easy as pie. I do not know why they don't want you to use the easier-to-access black terminal, but the red is easy enough for the one connection.
When replying, there should be a line across the top of where you're typing. Hit the icon circled in the enclosed screenshot or go ctrl Pand select your image.
I have the same charger, however, even after a long tow travel day within hours I get the Ford message that it’s disabling to conserve battery. I’m checking to ensure proper installation. Have you ever had that happen?This RVI toad charge kit is what I use to connect the MH charge line to the toad. It has lights that indicate the circuit is or is not working. I’m confused with what you’re attempting to use?
What I have found is that these charge devices fail regularly. I had to give up on them after two of them failed. You can tell if its working or not with the lights. If your battery is being discharged which it sounds like it is. Then you are not charging the towed vehicle.
