I've done searches and come close but have yet to find a description or picture of the wires going into the Ford 6-pin female brake control connector.

Here's my problem, I've got an aftermarket Prodigy Brake Control wiring harness with nothing to plug it into. The previous owner or some shop dude cut off the plug - so I'm left with loose untagged red, white, blue and green(w/white striped wires).
Anyway, if I number the 6 pins as 2 rows of 3 pins like this:

1 2 3
4 5 6

Can someone tell me what Ford's wiring colors are going into the plug?

Once I have that I can orientate it to match my harness where my harness has this layout (where the white wire is the lone active pin on a slot row)
1 2 3
4 5 6

1 - White
2 - empty terminal
3 - empty terminal
4 - Blue
5 - Red
6 - Black



THE CONNECTION TO THE PRODIGY

And for future reference to anyone with a different or no harness:

Here's the flat 4-pin Prodigy end of my harness - it has A B C D stamped on it. So looking at it from this perspective: with the plastic "keeper" or latch on the top and looking along the wires to where they go into the plug the 4-pins are:

A B C D

A - Black
B - Red
C - White
D - Blue




Note: I wish they'd simply tied the old plug up under the dash somewhere for future reference or so I could easily restore the original set up.

 

I'm back - found this in a general site search..

04 f150. Need support installing elec brakes

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just picked up a tekonsha Prodigy brake control. It appears installation will be "plug-n-play" easy. I want to confirm the wire color codes with someone who has already used a PRODIGY 2.4 brake control. I read the directions as

Ford harness Prodigy Harness

Red------------------------black
Green---------------------Red
White---------------------white
Blue-----------------------Blue

This goes against what little I know about wiring.

Thanks "

"Brake Controller Wiring

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 29-Apr-02 AT 09:25*PM (EST)]Jim, straight from my harness, it reads:

brown-illumination
dark blue-trailer electric brake feed
red-trailer brake control feed
white-ground
light green-stop lamp feed to brake controller

-Jaseun"

 

Does the Excursion require a separate ground wire?

 

Ok - picking up our trailer today so last night I went to wire up my Prodigy and out fell another cut wire - I think I'll pay the shop today their former seemingly outrageous price and let them connect the wires...

I have Red
Green (with with stripe)
Green - different shade (with yellow stripe)
White
Blue
Black

and behind the fuse pannel - more and spliced cut wires - I'm guessing these were to an aftermarket radio or dvd or ???

 

Hold on to your cash....

I have a P3. I'll go take a pic of the plug.

 

Here's my plug crossover. On the left is the truck side... on the right is the Tekonsha Side.
White -> White
Blue -> Blue
Green-> Red
Red -> Black

Controller Side:



I hope this helps.

 

Excellent! Thanks. And great pictures - this will sure help a lot of future viewers connect/reconnect severed wires.

However, in my case it worked out well having the RV dealer figure it out (for $85 - and almost two hours). When we got there, they pulled down some more severed wires, spend 45-minutes testing wires - gave up then went back and managed to trace down the proper wires, then found that there was no power but in the end set it all up with OE plug and got it all working - all stuff beyond my ability. However what the other wires and extra connections are for they couldn't tell me. The truck must have had a numerous extras wired into it in the past.
