i used to work at a truck accessory place and we used to install them alot on the newer trucks and they were always right near the fuse box but i just looked at my f250 2002 and couldnt see anything i saw some wires tapped up that were the right colors but no plug for the ford pigtale

maybe that blue/pink one is part of the pto set up.my draw tite brake controller has blue red black and white same gauge as whats in truck.i didnt think it would be that easy but maybe it is.i'm picking up connecter for rear of my truck for the 7 wire plug so i'll double check with the parts guy.thanks
