Custom Fit Brake Controllers
If your 2005 Ford Super Duty Truck already has the factory installed 7-Way Trailer Connector the only part needed to install a brake controller is the brake controller itself. Usually the factory will already give you a brake control adapter that connects to the brake controller and plugs into the dash. The OEM plug is located under the radio.
The oem plug is located behind the black pocket underneath the radio in the center of the dash. This is also where the optional factory brake controller would be located.
By removing the lower drawer or bin, and looking up, you can see the oem plug. The plug you use will have matching wires with the brake control adapter.
First connect the Brake Control Adapter to the Brake Controller. The factory adapter uses different colors, but the wires are labeled. The wires match up: red to red, black to black, white to white, blue to blue. Then plug the adapter, which is now connected to the brake controller, into the plug under the dash. Then mount the brake controller to a place on the dash. Make sure that it is easily accessible.
This is the brake control adapter plug that the factory provides. If one was not provided, a replacement is available.
