This document is a component/connector location diagram (schematic locator page) titled "Rear end," showing the rear view of a Ford Explorer (the word "EXPLORER" is visible on the liftgate). It uses a lettered/numbered grid border (rows A–F, columns 1–8) typical of Ford wiring diagram locator pages. Callout arrows identify the physical locations of rear-mounted electrical connectors, splices, and harnesses, including: rear active park assist module RH (C4421) and sensor LH (C4420); parking aid sensors — inner right (C4012), inner left (C4010), outer right (C4011), outer left (C4009); trailer tow connectors 4-pin (C439) and 7-pin (C4099); hands free (liftgate) actuation module (C4401); Side Obstacle Detection control module – Left (SOD-L) connector C4369; connectors C465, C405, C406; harness identifiers 14F238 and 14N139; and splices S400–S407. A reader can use this page to locate these connectors and splices on the rear bumper/liftgate area for diagnostics of parking sensors, blind-spot (SOD) modules, trailer tow wiring, and hands-free liftgate systems. The page was photographed upside down and has a shadow across part of the image, but the callout text is legible.
