Expert Reply:
The specifics of trailer brake controller installation in your 1999 Ford F-150 depend on how it was equipped from the factory.
If the truck has a factory-installed 7-way trailer socket it will also have a connection port under the dash that allows for quick and easy controller installation. For instance, the Prodigy P3 # 90195 can install by plugging in the matching wiring adapter # 3035-P. If the truck has a factory 4-pole harness then you will need these same parts plus kit # 118242. If the truck does not have factory connectors you will be able to hard wire the controller using kit # ETBC7 and a 4-pole kit like # C56031.
Please feel free to send us a photo of the connector you referred to.
