Electric Trialer Break Controller

I’m looking for the electric break controller wiring harness on my ‘99 E-350 super duty Van. I have found two plugs on the left side of the van behind the kick panel taped to the wiring. One plug is a single wire (red) the other is a five wire with three pins on one side and two pins in opposite corners on the other side. Are these the plugs I’m looking for?

Also I have four wires that run to the back bumper on the drivers side. The plug has been cut off and a four pin trailer connection spliced onto them. How do I hook them up for a 7 pin RV plug?

My break controller (Draw-Tite) has a display that shows a number that corresponds to the pressure being applied to the trailer breaks. When I step on the break peddle with out the trailer connected all I see is a decimal point. When I step on the break peddle with the trailer connected it shows a number that gets higher until it reaches its preset maximum. If the wiring is shorted out some where or not working then it shows a code the paper work that came with the controller explains the different codes. For instance when there is excessive moisture in my plug and I step on the break peddle with out the trailer connected the display reads 0.0
