Front end 6 way plug question

[CHS]

Newbie to the forum here.

I am in the process of installing a Blue OX Wiring harness with the included diodes. My question is, with the mounting of the 6 way plug (Bracket/Plug)in the front grill. I have the adaptive cruise control and need to know where I can install it without disrupting the ACC. Does it need to be behind the radar or a certain distance away from it, or can it be beside it? I know that the only time the ACC will be used is when the plug is not used but still concerned that the physical location of it may still disrupt the ACC when I am not being flat towed but the plug is still there. There are not too many places to mount it that would not be too visual and still be accessible. If anyone has done this, photos wold be nice also.

Hi Chris,

My Breakaway switch is next to the ACC module...no affect, but I do not like or use ACC, so for the test of the system, it worked but no long term test as I use standard cruise control. Not familiar with Blue Ox as I used Roadmaster wiring to my taillights with modifications necessary for my Aux Braking system.

best,
