Question:

I have a 2012 F150, got the Curt Discovery brake module and wiring harness to connect to the plug under my dash. Is connecting the blue wire from the 7 pin plug to the blue wire coming directly out of the brake controller the last thing I need to do to make the electric trailer brakes work ?

When installing the Curt Discover part # C84VV with the harness for your 2012 Ford F-150, part # C51436 all you'd have to do is plug in the controller and harness and you'd be set if you have the factory 7-way like it sounds like you do. It's really a pretty simple install.

Otherwise you'd need a 4-way to 7-way adapter like part # 37185 and you'd have to run the wire from the truck's frame rail to the adapter and you'd be set. See attached picture for more info on that.
