Brock Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 To flat tow my 2018 Edge, you need to disconnect the negative battery cable which is very difficult to get to. Are there any after market products that will make this easier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 Not that difficult. There is a bolt or screw holding a clamp at the bottom front of the battery. Remove it and the battery slides forward so you can access the negative cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 This is the easiest switch to install: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001N729FS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glc_fabc_R7XXE4WCEQ6P7E20DS1C or: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0793ZSJ39/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glc_fabc_AP5K5ZWZN0BSD206JRF2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 A more convenient soultion (but more difficult to install): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08CVNKPKY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glc_fabc_AK70AE8CT00GWN4K5JPC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one on my ST and several on the rv forums use it also. It takes more than a bolt removal to move the battery far enough forward and even then not enough room to work. Shop around on price some are better than E-trailer but they will price match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFM Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 I did use this switch - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08CVNKPKY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glc_fabc_AK70AE8CT00GWN4K5JPC I ran a new cable from battery negative to the switch and then connected existing negative cable to the other side of the switch. Works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
