I got the tow package on my 05, I see there is a big plug on the back, I haven't looked to see how many pins are in it, as I never had a need to find out. But a guy just emailed me and asked if I could drag a trailer for him. It has brakes and a 7 pin connector.

So how many pins are in there, if any, and is there a brake controler somewhere in the truck, or do I need to add that myself?

thanks

I am 90% sure it is a 7 pin connector

You need to add your own brake controler. There is a wire harness that should be in your glovebox that will allow for easier installation of the brake controller.

 

you have a 7 wire setup like was said you need to have an electric brake controller added you need to check also the fuse box you may need to install a fuse for the electric brakes ussually a 30 amp maxi fuse . ford leaves them out to save money

 

If your truck came witht he tow package, you do have a 7 pin connector.. Leke the others said you will have to add your own brake controller..

 

Thanks, I'll pick pne up at work Monday. The harness is in the drivers door panel, I remember seeing it.
