Brake Controller and Installation Kit for a 1999 Ford Ranger

Question:

I have a 1999 ford ranger with a factory 4flat 4 pin trailer connector and I am purchasing a a 16 1990 travel trailer with trailer brakes and a round 6 pin plug. What all do I need to install trailer brakes and a 6 pin plug to my truck?

Expert Reply:

To wire your 1999 Ford Ranger for a 6-way connector and a brake controller you will need a 4 way wiring harness for your vehicle, which you already have and a Brake Controller 6 & 4 Way Installation Kit, part number ETBC6, along with a brake controller you see link. You will attach your 4-Way wiring harness inline with the connector provided with the ETBC6 kit to power the taillight functions.

After this is done you will need to connect the brake wire and the accessory wires, which will be ran to the front of the vehicle, to the proper locations. The brake wire should be ran to the blue wire from the brake controller and the black wire should be wired to the 12 volt positive battery terminal under hood through a circuit breaker, Item # PK54540. Any other accessory wiring can be ran at this time.
