Question:

I have a Tenkosha P2 brake controller that I need to book to my 1993 F250 7.5L. Im guessing that 3035-P is the correct harness? It says Ford, but doesnt list what years. Where does this plug into the truck? Under the steering wheel somewhere, but more detail would be appreciated. Thanks!

Actually, Ford didn't equip their trucks with the plug in brake controller provision until the 1994 model year so you'll need to hardwire the # 90885 Tekonsha P2 brake controller. It's a pretty easy process.

How you'd proceed will depend on how the truck's currently equipped. If it doesn't currently have a trailer connector of any kind, you'd install the # 118316 to access the taillight circuits and use the # ETBC7 install kit which includes an adapter that would plug into the 4 pin connector provided by the # 118316, converting it to a 7-way connector.

If the truck has an existing functional 4 pin trailer connector, you'd just use the # ETBC7, and you wouldn't need the # 118316.

If the vehicle already has a 7-way connector, you'd use the # 5506 installation kit.

I've linked a help article that will walk you through the installation process.
