Trailer Brake Box Hook-up
Hey Guys, I have an 05 f-350 srw diesel and I am trying to hook up a Reese trailer brake controller and I need to know what wires to hook together.
The controller has four wires: white=ground
blue=brake
red=stoplight
black= battery +
The truck has four wires: dark blue=trailer electric brake feed
red=trailer brake control feed
white=ground
light green=stop lamp feed to brake control
Obviously I got the ground right but I need some advise on the others. Any help would be greatly apprecited. Thanks

Dark Blue trailer electric brake feed-should run straight to the back of the truck..supplies voltage to rear of truck to apply brakes..that gets connected to BLUE wire on brake controller.
LIGHT GREEN stop lamp feed to brake control--that one when brake pressed should supply voltage which would get hooked to the RED wire on the brake controller.
WHITE-Ground
RED--12+ feed to brake controller(not needed if you already ran a +12 wire)
This should help?
