Looking To Install My Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Into My 2000 Ford F150, What Do I Need?

Question

Question:

Good morning. I have a Tekonsha P3 brake controller and want to install it in my 2000 Ford F-150. The truck did not come with the factory tow package, but a 7-way was installed. What do I need to connect the brake controller? Thank you.

Hey Greg,

Good news! There is a plug and play wiring adapter for that Prodigy P3 to simply plug into your 2000 F150. All you will need is the Tekonsha # 3035-P. This will plug right into the back of the brake controller, and then connect to a plug under the dash of your truck. I will include a video for you below that shows this on a 2000 F150 for you.

What are you towing with that truck?
