How to Install the Best Brake Controller in a 2007 Ford Expedition with 7-Way

Question

Question:

I am interested in buying the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 90195 brake for my 2007 Ford Expedition EL. My SUV has a factory towing package, with two connectors for trailers near the hitch, both a small flat and larger round connector. Which kit should I buy?

Sounds like you have both a factory 4-way and 7-way at the rear of your 2007 Ford Expedition. Because of that all you would need to install the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller part # 90195 that you referenced is the correct wiring harness, part # 3035-P.

Simply plug one end of the adapter into your brake controller and then plug the other end into the built-in harness beneath your vehicle's dash. I attached an install video to the right that details how this will install.
