Brake Controller Installation on a 1998 Ford Expedition
Question:
I plan to install a brake controller on a 1998 Ford Expedition with a tow package and a 4 pole trailer connector. I intend to purchase the following items for the installation: Item nos. 3035-P, 37185 and the 90885 controller. Is there anything else I need to complete the installation? How or where do I connect the blue and black wires on item 37185 to the vehicle? I understand the other two wires connect to the ground and the reverse light circuits. Thanks.

Expert Reply:
You are on the right track and have everything you'll need to install the Prodigy P2 part # 90885 in your 1998 Ford Expedition with the install harness # 3035-P and the adapter part # 37185.
You actually don't need to mess with the reverse light circuit but if you check out the picture I attached you'll which wires you do need to connect to on your vehicle. Blue from the adapter goes to the blue wire and that's all you need.
