Wiring a 2006 Ford E-450 Cutaway Cube Van for Towing with an Electric Brake Controller

If you have the plug under the dash that matches the brown brake controller wiring harness connector on the # 3035-P harness then you will need to manually run a 10 gauge wire, item # 10-1-1, from the blue wire on the brake controller back to the 7-Way plug in the rear.

If you do not have a connector at the rear of the vehicle you will need two items. A working 4-Way connector, item # 18002, and a 7-Way connector, item # 37185.

If you want to run the 12 volt power wire to the 7-Way connector you will need a length of 10 gauge wire to connect to the vehicle battery positive post through a 40 amp circuit breaker, item # PK54540. In this case I would recommend using an appropriate length of Double bonded 10 gauge wire, item # 10-2-1, for both the power wire and the brake feed wire.

I have included links to wiring instructions and a video that should be helpful also.
