Getting ready to install a brake controler in my 93 f250 today, Is there a plug for it or do I have to manually wire it in? Any help would be helpful
installing brake controller
- Thread starter mustangmatt89
- Start date
I have a 94 to 2003 Tekonsha 3035P control harness for the F series. Not sure about the 93's. I'm thinking they started in late 93, look up under dash about in the center, see if there is a 6 pin connector there. Was in the RV service, but that's too far back too remember.
Give an RV dealer a call, they carry the pluggins.

If you have the tow package , it will have the plug under the dash, unfortunately for that year, it may be like my 92 and have a 4 pin plug( for some reason all the catalogs are wrong and show a 6 pin for the 92) in which case your options are to get a 4 pin universal harness and splice it in , or like I did, get a manufacturer specific( in my case it was a Tekonsha for a Prodigy ) and then take the plug apart and cut off the 2 extra holes on it and re set the wires to match your plug on the truck. All still easier than wiring from scratch. If no tow package then you will have to follow the brake controller instructions for wiring up from scratch.

okay I got my controller out from my chevy and it has 4 wires, I found a 4 plug wire under the dash that is kind of in the center where nothing was plugged in, is that what I am looking for?

That sounds right. I just did this on my 93, except the PO decided to hack out the connector...

Hey guys, I know this is an old thread, but I have the same question about my 94 factory turbo truck. I am picking up a car trailer today and the guy is giving me a brake box/controller with it. I want to know if my truck should have a plug that I can plug the box into or do I need to splice into some wires? Thanks for any help.

Should have one, mine did.
what connector are you guys using between your stock harness plug and the brake controller? I found this one mentioned on the forums http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001G7G44M
You are correct, I have one. It's under the dash, in the center. It's held up with a plastic nail/pin.
There are different ones for the Ford, Chevy and Dodge, yours from the Chevy may not work, pinning may be different. That one from Amazon is correct for Ford, cut the flat connector off if it don't plug into your controller and just splice in the wires. White - Grd. Blue - Trl. Brakes Black - B+ Red -Brake signal
shouldn't the wires on the harness already be correct? I don't understand the point of cutting off the flat connector unless you are saying it will not be wired properly if I do plug it in.
