2Dr Rear interior quarter panel removal instructions?

[Gabby]

I know it's been done, but I can't find how. Does anyone have instructions for the panel removal? Tips? Extra parts I need?

I believe it's included in the Ford MoCo instructions for installing the tow hitch & 4-pin wiring. Look for that and you should get your answer.

@Ducati1098 thank you! It looks like rear seat removal would expidite the panels being removed.

I'm trying to figure out if I have the tow control module behind the right panel. I have everything upfront, plug included, but I don't know if that plug actually goes anywhere.

I had the right side panel off to do some wiring and replace my seat belt retractor. It’s a little tight but the seats being in didn’t really make it more difficult. I would leave them in personally.

As far as the trailer/tow control module, that I’m unsure about. However the workshop manual shows it being behind the left trim panel, not the right one. If your bronco didn’t come with the tow package, I would assume that module is not there.

I'm thinking it's not, but the dealer was able to plug the brake controller into the correct connector. Either way, I trace some wires, buy a module, or have everything. And you're right, it's on the left. My mind is stuck in RHD, and the module is on the driver's side.

Does anyone know the part number for the plastic retainer clips that disconnect when you pull the panel off? They are the white ones with a black rubber gasket that snap back together for assemble. I had a few break when they were removed.
