Today on this 2011 Ford Expedition we are going to be installing the Prodigy P2 brake control kit, part number 90885-3035P. Starting off inside the cab of the Expedition, and the first thing we want to do is locate the brake control port that we are going to be plugging our wiring harness into. And this port is located on the driver side of the vehicle, just below the steering column is this grey open ended plug right here. So with the port located, we can go ahead and take our wiring harness. Go ahead and plug it in. With the harness plugged in, we will want to next determine where we want to mount our brake controller. We want to mount it in a position where it can be easily accessed by the hand of the driver but also does not interfere with normal driving conditions. On this particular vehicle, over here on the right side of the steering wheel, if I follow below right about even with where our port is, the underside of the dash here has a small lip. I believe it is just wide enough for us to actually us as a mounting point. And I am going to be using the more traditional bracket that comes with the Prodigy P2 controller. We can mount it in position just like so. You do want to make sure when you are mounting the brake control bracket that it is mounted in a straight line with the braking of the vehicle. 1:31
With the mounting bracket up, we will go ahead and mount the P2 next. And then finally, we just need to take the other end of our wiring harness and plug it into the back side of our brake controller. And you can see instantly, we get an NC flashing on the screen which indicates that we do not currently have a trailer hooked up to the tow vehicle. And then it stops flashing and goes straight to two dots. And then you can see once we plug into our trailer, the brake controller goes to a C. And from there, once we hit our brake pedal we get our digital read out like we are looking for. And that is all there is to the installation. It might be a good idea to go ahead and tie up the loose wires we have here on the back side. But with that our installation will be complete. That will conclude the installation of the Prodigy P2 brake controller, part number 90885-3035P.
