Question:
I want to purchase and install the Prodigy2 trailer brake controller in my 2017 Ford Transit T-350. Do you have an adapter that will connect to the Transit towing package pre-wiring?

Expert Reply:
The Prodigy P3, part # 90195 is a nice brake controller and will work great for you and your 2017 Transit. There is no plug-in adapter available so you will need to do some hardwiring to install the brake controller.
I recommend the # ETBC7 installation kit. You plug it into the 4-way on your Transit and complete the wiring as shown in the attached drawing. When completed this will give you a working 7-way and 4-way connector at the rear of your Transit. The # ETBC7 comes with a circuit tester that helps you identify the wires.
When working with electrical connectors I recommend using dielectric grease like part # 11755. This keeps dirt and moisture out of the electrical connections and helps prevent corrosion.
