brake controller wiring

ok i got the factory plug which has:
red-feed wired from battery
white- ground
blue-to trailer electric brakes
green- stop lamp
black- illumination

now my brake controller is a draw-tite activator for 2-4 brake systems
it has a:
red- stoplight
black- battery (+)
blue- brake
white- ground (-)

im not exactly how a 5 wire factory plug gets hooked up to a 4 wire brake controller? can anyone please help me out? its on a 2003 f350 6.0l, i have the 4 & 7 pin tow plugs in the back and it once had a bake controller in the truck before i owned it.

Don't use the black illumination wire on the factory plug. Then match up:


Brake controller Factory plug
red to green
black to red
blue to blue
white to white
