Expert Reply:
I am assuming that you have the factory supplied pigtail that plugs into the port under the dash. The controller does not wire up color for color. The red wire on your pigtail connects to the black wire on the brake controller. The light green wire on the pigtail connects to the red wire on the controller, the white wire on the pigtail connects to the white wire on the controller, and the dark blue pigtail wire connects to the blue wire on the controller. Any remaining wires on the factory pigtail are not needed and should be taped off and bundled up out of the way.
I am including a link to a FAQ page on brake controller information and a link to a FAQ page on Ford Truck brake controllers.
