Depends on what you're putting it in, newer trucks are much easier, but old trucks are easy also.

I paid. It's easier that way. but, some vehicles have a harness pre built in.

They sell the hole 7 pin connector set all wired and junk that plugs in for like 75 bucks at the auto parts store
the the controller unit is only 3-4 more wires to hook

From the looks of his first post, I think its all gone. :D

87 might have the plug. Look down at the bottom of the dash panel, straight down from the radio. There may be a tab hanging down with a gray plug attached to it. Probably a 4 pin plug, might be 6. Go to Ford and get the other half of the 4 pin plug, or just cut that plug off and butt connect the wires together.


I will scan an instruction sheet tonight, or find a good link.

I will scan an instruction sheet tonight, or find a good link. cool i go lok when i go to class in a bit to see if tehre is a plug, ther eis a brake controler in tehre now buts it mounted on the side where the brights swtich is and it looks old and gay. but maybe i will jsut reuse it and just get the proper pin in teh back! anyhelp would be great! jIMMy

:mad: I scanned the sheets, but I can't get them down small enough to post. Lil' brother will give it a shot tomorrow, unless someone else wants to do it...

well i checked out my turd, an there wasnt a plug under teh dash, but teh brake controller that is installed in teh truck seems liek it will work onces its wierd up. it has a hard line that runs in teh back of it with the brake presure in it im sure that works, but trhe 3 wires off the back go no where. should i use this anciet relic or upgrade to teh more advanced style the draw tite sells. jiMMy

:eek: Welcome to the stone age. I think Barney helped Fred put one of those in the Flintstone mobile. Not too many still work that I have seen.

It's not hard to put a new one in. If you can install a stereo, you can install a brake controller. Probably take half a day depending on how clean you do it, and how much beer is involved. Instructions are in the box. If you get stuck, PM me.
