There is a towing acc. fuse in the fuse box under the hood on the drivers side. There may even be 2 main fuses. Can't remember.

EDIT Its a BIG fuse

You also may have to install a couple relays for it and the trailer brake system to work.

The seven way is hooked up and the hot leg is going to it. There is a trailer brake instaled already and I have towed with that hookup but the trailer I have now uses a breakaway battery and I need that leg. It was easy to find on my 90f250 but my 01 diesel you cant find the wires..lol
