What is Needed to Install Trailer Brake Controller in 1995 Ford F-150

Question

Question:

My vehicle is a 1995 f150 4x4 long bed non trailer tow package. I thought the installation of a 7 pin trailer connection would have been plug and play. The truck has the connector for the trailer brake control middle of lower dash It also has the fuses and relay in the power distribution box under hood driver side but I cant find where to plug in the 7 way at the rear of truck! Where do these 4-5 wires terminate coming from the controller connector? If I know this perhaps I can buy a harness from your store and simplify this install. Thanks.

Do you have a factory 4-flat on your 1995 Ford F-150? If so, you can add a 7-Way by simply plugging in the Adapter 4-Pole to 7-Pole and 4-Pole # 37185.

If you do not have a 4-flat already then you need to start by adding a 4-way, the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118316 which you only need to plug into your truck, beneath your rear bumper.

Then for the 7-way you would then need to install the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7.
