Wire Color Function for a Prodigy Brake Controller in a 2018 Ford F-150
Question:
i'm moving my p2 to my 18 f-150. what's each wire color function?
asked by: Bill
Expert Reply:
Brake controller wire coloring is universal. So on your P2, part # 90885, black is 12 volt power, white is ground, blue is the brake output going to the connector at the rear of the truck, and red is to the truck's stop light switch.
Your 2018 Ford F-150 has a connector under the dash to plug a controller in. Technically you can just use adapter # 22292 and plug the P2 in without having to hardwire it. If you'd rather hardwire it you can use the wires from that connector in your truck which will be the same coloring as the P2.
I've linked a video that shows a different controller being installed in a 2018 F-150. If you skip ahead to the 4:35 mark you'll see the process to find the plug for the # 22292 harness.
