Trailer Brakes
Well I need help. My 95 F150, has the factory tow package which came with the round plug in, the 8 prong type, and I know the previous owner had a trailer brake in it (Tell by the holes under the dash) and I was wondering where the factory plug is for the brake controller and whats a good cheap controller. I am not using a big trailer, just... well it would be way easier on me with a controller. I want to get a good controller that can control just 2 axles. Also I was looking under my dash and I seen a bare plug looked like a 6 plug (2 rows of 3) and it had 4 wires to it (If I remember right) But yeah, I appreciate the help. MayI add the is a Eddie Bauer F150 so it has EVERYTHING.

Lol well the trailer I use I check it every time before I use it. Plus the wiring is new and I wired it so I am really confident I wont have any 'Oh ****' moments. And I will look into that , thanks Miss.
