Question:
Brake controllers come with a 4-flat connection to plug in under the dash somewhere. I cannot find a connector like that in my 2000 Ranger. If it is not there, how do I wire the controller in?

Helpful Expert Reply:
The 2000 Ford Ranger does not have a plug or wire bundle under the dash to install a brake controller. You will need to hardwire in the controller. To do this you will need to first add a 4-Way trailer wiring harness, # 118344, unless you already have one. Then you would need a 4 and 7-Way installation kit # ETBC7.
I have included some links that explain and show the installation of the ETBC7 kit. The video is on a 2002 Ford Ranger and it will be very similar on your truck.
