Negative battery cable disconnect for towing

[Brock]

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?

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.

This is the easiest switch to install:

A more convenient soultion (but more difficult to install):

https://www.etrailer.com/Best/1453/Ford/Edge/Accessories_And_Parts/Auto_Battery_Disconnect?year=1949  It disconnects the positive cable since negative is so difficult to get to.  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.

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.
