Pre-wired for brake controller?
I thought I remember reading on a previous thread that the tow package included a pre-wired harness under the dash to connect an electric brake controller to? I searched the forum but couldn't find anything. Is this true or am I just dreaming?
Thanks,

Mine has a harness under the dash and above the emergency brake pedal that is labeled "electric brake control feed".

What does the harness look like? I don't see any labels but I do see a round 4 pin round connector and a single pin square both just above the emergency brake.
I did find harnesses that connect b/t the brake controller and factory connector but they only go back to 1994 Bronco's. I'm guessing that if I do in fact have the factory harness that I'll have to make direct connections. Otherwise, I'll just have to run the wires.

I looked at it late last night with a flashlight. From what I remember it had a group of wires bundled or taped together and tagged "electric brake control feed". Those wires then came out of the bundle and were individual wires which were also tagged with different info but I did not look at those tags. If you want, I can try to take a picture and post it.

It'll probably be this weekend before I can take a good look at what wires I have under there. I know I have the tow package so I'm thinking I'll find the connector once I look good. The Hayne's manual does show a connection for it in the wiring diagram.
Thanks!
