alright, i need to do some hauling saturday night with a trailer thats got electric brakes but i dont have a controller installed on my truck. i have a controller and i found some wiring harnesses online for PRE-WIRED trucks, how the heck do i know if my truck is PRE-WIRED??????????? Any help is greatly apprreciated!!!!!!

 

Does your truck have a factory tow package? If so, then it's likely ready for a controller.

The other way to check is if the light connector has a blue wire hooked up. I'm not sure if you have the older 6-prong "star" shape one or the newer 7-prong connector. My old '93 had the star prong connector, my "new" '93 with a tow package rather has a 7-prong roundish one.

See here for info about trailer hookups.

Scroll down to the bottom of the page for info about Ford wiring.

 

i aint sure if its a factory tow package or not, but ill have to check on that blue wire thing. and i got a 7 prong

oh, and that link doesnt work

 

the Link dose work and quit well at that. very good info.

My 1995 F150 has the tow package and was prewired for a controller. There was a connector stashed behind the dash down low near the transmission hump. It also came with a connector with leads that could be wired to the controller. All it takes to install is to plug it in.
