wiring and such.

Well I don't really expect to get an answer in here, but I figured Eric would move my thread.

What wires do I need to splice to get a four pin trailer harness setup on my 79 F150. It never had any kind of trailer wiring from the factory, and the only wiring kits I can find are the plug in types.

I am planning on towing an 83 Ranger from Minnesota to Montana this summer, and I thought I should put some wiring in for the trip .

Thanks in advance, Matt

You could go test each one by one and see which is which. That's what I did, works well until you wire your right and left turn sigals wrong on your trailer

Yeah I figured it would be guess and check with the wiring. Thanks

You want a 4-flat? You're going to have brakes, correct? You have a controller? Sounds like you need at least a 6 round.
