Expert Reply:
The factory brake controller plug should be located under the dash to the right of the steering column. It should be located towards the center of the dash and may be tucked up and out of the way behind some wiring. I have linked an FAQ Article that shows the location of the plug.
You will need the Ford Adapter, part # HM47715, to plug into the brake controller harness and the Ford plug under the dash.
If you have a factory 7-Way on your 2000 Ford F-150, installation is complete after mounting the Hopkins brake controller and plugging the Ford Adapter # HM47715.
If you have a factory 4-Way or no trailer connector on your 2000 Ford F-150, you will also need to install Ford Replacement OEM Tow Package Wiring Harness, part # 118242. In addition, you will need Mounting Bracket for Pollak 7-Pole, part # PK12711U, if you do not have a factory 7-Way.
I have linked instructions for the Hopkins Agility Brake Controller, part # HM47294. Also linked is a video installation of a brake controller using part # 118242 on a 2001 Ford F-150. You will also find an FAQ Article on installing brake controllers on Ford Trucks, which shows where the brake controller plug is located.
