Brake controller question

Brake controller in 1996 F150 4x4 isn’t working. It’s wired up without a connector. Pretty much a redneck wiring job. How can I know if I’ve got factory harness for a new brake box, or if I need to order a complete wiring kit? Either way I really want to ditch the cobbled up wiring.
Also, what’s the 2 prong connector under the dash?
Thanks for any information y’all can give me.

Do you have the extra relays behind the underhood fuse box? If not, only way to make a controller work is somewhat what you found.
