I am looking into putting on a trailer brake controller (Don;t ask why, I don;t want to jinx anyhting). Truck has factory hitch and 4/7 pin hookups on the rear bumper.
Looking under the dash, the only connector I have found, is a gray connector that is just beyond the metal support. It looks like it has 5 pins in it. I can not tell all the wire colors yet.
Should it have some slack in the wires? Its short to get at and tight. It looks like I have to pull at least the radio and maybe the dash to free it up.
This page is the only thing i have found so far with info - Electric Trailer Brake Controllers for Ford Trucks
Are there any other connectors under there that I could mistake for the trailer brake hookup?
Fuses: some of the controllers recommend a 30A circuit breaker or fuse. I looked in the power dist box under the hood- i have fuses for the trailer brakes and lights etc..
Am I good as is or do I need more?
