Brake Control connections

I recently purchased a 95 F150. it has a 6pin trailer connection installed but no brake control. I am trying to install my brake control from a previous vehicle. i purchased an adapter from Ford and plugged the brake control in. I found the 4 wires in the rear connector for turns, ground, etc. But I don't see the wire at the rear for the brake control itself or the power feed for charging while towing. Can anyone tell me where to locate these wires to complete hookup?

Follow the wiring harness backwards to the major wiring cable; it should be there.

Here is a GREAT resource...
http://www.etrailer.com/faq_wiring.aspx

According to the diagram for a 6-way plug...the center 'A' (black/red wire) is the 12V. The electric brakes 'S' (Blue wire).

If the wires are physically missing from the 6-way plug, then I would highly recommend replacing the plug.

Hope that helps...
