Trailer Wiring Help Needed FAST!
I just purchased a "01 Super Duty with the 7.3 6 speed. Awsome truck. The idiot that owned it before me cut the trailer connector harness under the dash instead of unplugging it. I have an emergency tow that I need to do. I need to fix this harness fast. The color codes I have come up with is as follows:
Blue = Trailer Brake
Red = Hot Battery Lead
White = Ground
Green = Brake Trip Switch.
Is this correct.
I await a reply as I need to do this tow on Tuesday!

I got the mails. Thanks. Now to match the wires to the temp Reece Controller. I can get this show on the road. Looks like all the fuses and relays are in place.
Ford Blue = Trailer Brake = Reece Blue
Ford Red = Hot Battery Lead = Reece Black
Ford White = Ground = Reece White
Ford Green = Brake Trip Switch = Reece Red
Do these look right

I still have not figured it out. No power on the Ford Red lead. All fuses and circuit breakers are in. Power to the rear battery charger when running. All lights working. Just no power to the controller. I did find all four wires of the same color taped to a harness under under the hood neat the master cylinder. Could this mean that it is not hooked up?

the cut off and taped wires near the master cylinder are put there by ford to help you hook up other items( the other ends are near the fuse block under the dash) and are not part of the trailer tow system
