Brake controller instalation help needed.

I have a 1993 F-250 with the factory towing package. I want to install a brake controller for added safety when towing the travel trailer. I have found a gray plastic connection under the dash with red, white, blue and gree wires running to it. I'm assuming this is the connector. Does anyone have a schematic on how to get power from the fuse box to the controller? I am thinking that all the wiring is in back at the rear of the truck because there is a factory 7 prong plug on the rear bumper. I will be installing a Prodogy 3 controller and would appreciate any help.

I have the same controller in my F250. As I recall, all I had to do was plug it in.

Plug it in and give it a test I know all I had to do was plug and go. Everything worked like a champ on my 92

Thanks guys. That is good news. This truck has every option known to man and the wireing is unbelievable. I just don't want to do something stupid and watch my truck go up in smoke. I did that 40 years ago with my 1960 Ford pickup.

Hello Everyone I have a 2008 F250 and have recently bought a Tekonsha P3 brake controller. Can anyone tell me what where on the dash is the best place to mount this controller? Thank you John

In the middle, near the connector...
...on something substantial, so it doesn't vibrate independently of the truck.

I put mine where the ashtray once was, but I don't smoke.
