Thank you to Larry and Pcfabs. I have trailer lights! I was pretty nervous about breaking into the connector case on the harness, but I went at it slow and was able to get it. I've never done anything like that so I didn't know what to watch for or what to expect. Once I got the first wire out it was all good though. Then I knew what to do. Getting the wires in the dummy connector was quite tedious to say the least. I finally managed though.
It's a shame that Ford screwed up the wiring on that harness because it would be a much easier job. I get why they don't put the module and harness on every EcoSport, because the overwhelming majority of people won't ever put on a hitch. So there's a lot of expense involved with putting in parts that would go unused. But for those of us who do want to tow, get the wiring right on the harness!
And as has been mentioned, with this module and this harness there is no flashing required.
