Hey Peter, are you looking for a brake controller with a quick install harness that fits a 2023 Ford Transit T350? If so, we can help with the brake controller but we don't have any custom fit install harnesses for your T350 as it is our understanding the vehicle doesn't have OEM wiring for a brake controller.

You would have to hardwire a brake controller in like our P3 part # 90195.

Does your vehicle have a 7-way at the rear of it? Or do you maybe have a different vehicle?

@Peter So I found a forum where someone detailed how to wire in a brake controller to the factory wiring of your T350. Apparently there is a C312 connector under the center console that has brake controller pre-wiring ran to it that you can use. The large blue wire of the harness goes back to the 7-way and should be used for the blue wire of the brake controller, a large yellow/red wire is the 12 volt power and should be ran to the black wire. The white wire of the controller needs be grounded and you can use a ring terminal to ground it to the chassis. For that we have a ring terminal with part # 44-5310A. The red wire of the controller needs to run to a circuit that has 12 volts only when the brakes are applied. You can find this at the brake switch with a circuit tester like part # PTW2993. Look for wires that run to the switch and test them all till you find the one you need. I can't link them here but there in the thread I found there was quite a few pictures and diagrams that you might try Googling to find. I searched "how does brake controller wire to 2023 ford transit t350" and it was first result.

Hi Michael! Do you already have a 7-way on your Transit? If you don't have wiring, you need to start by adding a 4-way with #C56327 (single rear wheel) or #C42MJ (dually). Once you have your 4-way installed you can upgrade it to a 7-way using the…

There is no plug-in brake controller or plug and play wiring for your 2023 Ford Transit T250, it just does not exist, unfortunately (I verified this with our manufacturers). If you wanted an in-cab brake controller you would need to get the splice-in…

Everything that we have either plugs into a US Car Connector like what the Curt T-Connector #C55774, or it plugs in behind the tail lights like what the Tekonsha #22114 and #C56327 do. During my research I wasn't able to find an OEM connector for…

Hey Todd, There unfortunately aren't any plug-and-play wire harnesses available for your Transit so you'll have to go with a hardwire option like the Tekonsha P3 #90195 or go with a wireless option like the Curt Echo #C51180. The P3 is the…

Answer 7

The path of least resistance might be the way to go. That would mean using the factory wiring. What you have said is true. If the fuse blows you have to replace it whereas a circuit breaker will reset. They both are serving the same function,…

Answer 8

I would not recommend using fuses instead of a circuit breaker when installing a brake controller like the Primus IQ #TK90160. While it does protect the circuit it also totally kills the circuit till the fuse is replaced. A breaker will reset…

Answer 9

The red wire on the trailer brake controller that goes to the cold side of the stop light switch is a power wire, and should not be grounding. This wire gives 12 volts of power only when the brake pedal is switched, and is what tells the controller…
