Brake Controller Wiring Harness for a Curt TriFlex on a 2004 Ford F-150  

Updated 08/16/2017 | Published 08/15/2017



Question:

What additional parts do i need to install this on a 2004 F150 4.6L truck? Wiring harness or do you guys ship the wiring harness specific to the vehicle with the base purchase?

Expert Reply:

To use the Curt TriFlex brake controller # C24VV with your 2004 Ford F-150 you will also need pigtail # C51322. The vehicle specific harnesses are sold separately because not all versions of a given vehicle are able to use the specific wiring harness.

I have linked a video showing the use of the wiring harness. The brake controller is different but the harness and installation will be the same.
