Prodigy is a good controller, but the new P3 is the shiznit (as Mike says!).
Tekonsha P-3 Trailer Brake link to review/video
- No level adjustment necessary - it adjusts itself to varying terrain as you drive.
- Continual diagnostics check for proper connection, shorted magnet condition, bad ground, etc
Excellent writup Stewart!

Now, in this picture below, the same black flat plug plugs into the back of the contoller, but on the other end is the Ford specific plug that plugs into the gray plug in the picture I posted in the above post.
Having this Ford specific harness means you don't have to splice anything. All you have to do is locate the gray plug and plug your harness into it.

Thanks for posting this, now I know where the factory adaptor wire goes under the dash.

the last ford I put a brake controller in (2001) the harness/plug for the brake controller was all the way up against the fire wall in the center if the cab! some clown at the factory thought it would be fun to hide it. all others have been where the picture that Stuart posted shows it.
also those wires that look like brake control wires are just pre loomed pass through wires. thay go in to the engine bay and are normally by the brake master cylinder.

Every time it happens (and dang if it aint happening a lot recently) I play with the idea of changing the font I use for my name that I put on every post, to a larger size to make it stand out. 
Or maybe see if I can make the font for my user name in bold lettering.
