Question:
Hi, I just bought a Redarc 44FR brake controller from you and I have a 2021 Ford Ranger that did not have the factory tow package, but it did have a flat 4 trailer plug on it from the factory and I want to know will this controller have any affect on any of the factory safety systems like emergency braking, the front emergency collision sensors etc. Thank you, Dan
