Draw Tite Activator II for 2008 F150 4x4
I just purchased the Draw Tite Activator II for my 08 F150 4x4 crew cab.
The wiring is a bit confusing....I have 5 wires coming from the factory harness:
Brown: illumination feed
Red: Feed wire from battery
Green: stop lamp
Blue: Electric Brakes
White: ground
The brake controller only has 4 wires, with a splice for the "stop lamp"?
White: ground
Red: stop lamp?
Blue: Electric brakes
Black: feed from battery
I thought this was going to be "plug and play", as the truck comes pre-wired for this, having the XTR package.
Can anyone help me with this?
Is the agility proportional brake control by Hopkins any better?
My trailer is a 29" Jayco with electric brakes.
Thanks

This is correct on both ends. Ignore the illumination wire and the Prodigy is superior to any other controller out there. I had an Activator II in my old F250 and hated it. Put a Prodigy in instead. Before you wire it all up, just put the Prodigy in there.
