Brake Controller Wiring Adapter Part and Instructions Needed for a 2006 Ford E250 Van

Question

Question:

I have a 2006 Ford E250 4.6L Cargo van. I recently installed a factory trailer light whip and plug to the existing factory harness plug, after spending much time arguing with the local dealership that the plug even existed, and that it was even available to the public I had to get the part number on-line and take it to their parts Dept.. I am looking at installing trailer brakes and it appears that there is a plug under hidden below the dash directly under the steering column. I am looking for a factory plug in unit. Am I on the right track? The local dealership wants to install it if it exists?in service, but they want too much money and they wont help with parts. What do I need and do you have it?

On the Ford Full Size Van, the OEM brake controller plug is located under the dash just to the left of the steering column.

You would need the # 3035-S brake controller wiring adapter to connect to the plug under your dash if it exists. The 4 wires on the adapter are butt-connected to the 4 wires coming out of the electric brake controller. The harness is then plugged into the port under the dash.

If your vehicle was not equipped with the factory wiring the blue brake feed wire, # 10-1-1, will need to be ran from the brake controllers blue wire back to a 6 or 7-way trailer connector.

I would recommend going with the P3 brake controller, # 90195, on your Van. This controller is easy to install and is easy to set for different trailer loads.
