Correct Connections for Prodigy Brake Controller Installation on a 2021 Ford Ranger

Question

Question:

My Prodigy P2 has a blue and red probably #16 ga. and a white and green probably # 20 ga. The Ranger has a blue and yellow with a red tracer probably #16 ga. and a white and purple with white tracer probably #20 gauge. Any information on how those wire to each conductor. Thank you.

When we installed the Prodigy P3 # 90195 (which has the same pigtail as your P2 # 90885) on a 2021 Ford Ranger we made the following connections from the pigtail to the OEM wiring on the truck:

Blue - Blue
Black - Yellow w/tracer
White - White
Red - Purple w/tracer

If you jump to the 15:27 minute mark of the linked video you'll see us making those connections.

That's a very good question, we tend to be extra cautious and say to use 10 gauge wire because that would be more than enough. When you get into longer trailers that will end up using a lot of wire the heavier gauge wire becomes more necessary.…
