- Trailer Brake Controller Wiring Harness for 2013 Ford F150
- According to Trailer Mate, the # TM76292 wiring adapter is indeed the correct item to install a brake controller on your 2013 Ford F150. Keep in mind that if your truck was not equipped with the factory tow package, including the OEM 7-way, you might be missing some fuses or relays in the fuse box to fully activate the tow package. You would need to see your Ford dealer for the appropriate relays. If you have the OEM 7-way, the installation should be a plug-and-play proposition.

- Installation of the TrailerMate Wiring Kit is pretty straightforward. You'll need to access the rear of the taillight assemblies by removing them, and locate where the vehicle wiring harness plugs into the taillight assembly. The TrailerMate harness would plug inline with that connection, with the connectors with the YELLOW wire being used on the driver's side. The white wire with the ring terminal would ground to the vehicle body. The remainder of the harness would pass to the underside...

- Actually the Trailermate harness part # TM781028 that you referenced will plug inline with the factory taillight harness of your 2012 Ram 1500 but it would not actually splice into the wiring.
Here is how you would know if you would need the brake light relay part # RM-88400:
To determine if a brake light relay is needed to properly wire your vehicle to be towed, answer the following questions.
Are you using a supplemental braking system that depresses the brake pedal in your...

- There aren't any Trailermate wiring harnesses for the 2014 Ram 1500 but there are many other options, see link. This is actually not a bad thing because the Trailermate harnesses tend not to play nice with supplemental braking systems and additional parts would be needed to make the two compatible.
The 4-diode kits such as # RM-154, # TR118821, # RM-15247, and # RM-15267 are the most popular options for the Ram. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you.

- The TrailerMate Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # TM781115 that you referenced is not designed to be used with a plug-and-play trailer wiring harness, like # 118394, that provides a wiring connector for the rear of your 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
If you do not want to uninstall your existing plug-and-play trailer wiring connector, you can use a different wiring set-up to provide you with lighting while flat towing your Grand Cherokee, like the Roadmaster Tail Light Wiring...

- The harness to use to connect a Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195 to your 2013 Ford F-150 with the factory 7-way towing package is part # 22292 or the TrailerMate equivalent # TM76292 that you referenced. The harness connects between the controller and the port underneath the dash as shown in the linked video.
The most likely reason for the controller to display N.C. (meaning it does not detect a connected trailer) is a dirty or corroded vehicle or trailer connector. Check...

- Given the choice between the Hopkins # HM56001 or the TrailerMate # TM782057, I'd recommend the Hopkins wiring harness. We've found that the diodes that prevent backfeed work better on the Hopkins model. You will indeed be able to use the Tow Ready # 118515 T-One connector in conjunction with the Hopkins wiring harness.
In my research, I've found that the 2013 Edge is indeed capable of being flat towed, subject to the procedures mentioned in the owner's manual. I'd urge you to check...

- For a wiring harness that will fit your 2012 Dodge Ram 1500 and has blunt cut wires at the other end, use # 3021-S.

2005 - 2007 Ford F-250 & F-350 Super Duty Pickups
2005 - 2007 Ford F-450 & F-550 Super Duty Pickups

- On a 2013 Lincoln Navigator you should have to run both the 12 volt power wire and the blue brake output wire. This is because if the Navigator did not come with a factory installed 7-Way trailer connector the wires are either not present or not live from the front of the vehicle to the back.
You will need to follow the instructions for # ETBC7 which I have linked for you to get everything hardwired in.
If the vehicle came with a 4-Way trailer connector then there could be wires ran...

- The trailer connector at the back of your 2014 Ford Edge Limited is an output only device. Trying to run power through it will not work and can result in damage to the vehicle wiring.
We do have a harness that will work well for your 2014 Edge when you flat tow it. The TrailerMate harness # TM782057 will plug in line with the vehicle tail light wiring and has 4-Way flat connectors to plug into the RV. If the RV has a different connector other than a 4-Way we do offer all sorts of adapters.

- It sounds like there is either a bad ground connection somewhere or a bad connection. Since the TrailerMate tow bar wiring harness # TM782057 does have a separate ground wire, you will want to make sure that it is attached to a clean, non-painted and corrosion free bare metal surface.
Make sure that all of the connections are securely attached to each other as well. Check both where the unit plugs into the 2013 Ford Edge tail lights and where the 4-Ways plug into each other.

- From what I was able to find out, you will not have to install the brake light relay, # RM-88400, when using the Even Brake, # RM-9400, and tow bar wiring on your 2002 Chevy Trailblazer. But the one way to verify this for sure is to get in the Trailblazer without the key in and step on the brake pedal. If the brake lights light up then you will need a brake light relay.

What our customers are saying:
I just wanted to say that i am incredibally impressed with every aspect of my purchase with your company. I was very skeptical about ordering anything online, i have only purchased ONE item online other that this one. I comparison shopped both online as well as local stores ([..], [..], [..], [..], [..], [..], [..], [..] and [..]) 90% of these stores didnt have it, and if they did ([..]) it was anywhere from 50-100% more expensive. I'll make a long story short , the price was out standing, the ordering process was very simple, and i received the item exactly 3 days later (with the CHEAPEST shipping!!) the directions were SO simple i got worried, but they were clear, concise and to the point, i COULD NOT BELIEVE how easy it was.. it took me about 30-35 minutes , and all i had to do was take out 4 bolts and put in 6. ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING!! i will tell everyone i know about your website, and if i EVER need parts for my 1995 JEEP WRANGLER in the future i will be purchasing it from you . Sincerely, David,
