Installation of Hopkins Brake Controller Adapter
To install your electric brake controller, you need to connect the wiring of the controller to your vehicle. Certain auto manufacturers offer pre-wired options, typically known as tow packages, wherein wiring is run for you from the dash to the trailer connector on the back of your vehicle. When this is done, a port is installed at your dash so that you can easily plug in a brake controller.
This adapter plugs into the port on your vehicle's built-in brake control wiring harness. The harness is located underneath the dash, near the center console.
To hook this adapter up to your trailer brake controller, just connect the 4 wires of the harness - ground, power, brake switch, and brake power - to the corresponding wires on the brake controller. If your brake controller came with a plug built into its wiring harness, you will have to cut off the plug and connect to the wires themselves.

Today we're going to take a quick look at the Hopkins Custom Wiring Adapter for trailer brake controllers and this is just going to be a simple pigtail to fit up underneath the dash on your vehicle.It should plug into an already existing factory plug, might just be tucked up beneath the dash on your driver's side. Might be taped up a little bit, so you'll have to cut that down, but this is going to be accustomed fit for the 1992 through 1993 Ford Bronco, the Ford F150 and the Ford F250 and F30. Now all three of those should have a factory seven way. That's what this is going to work with. If yours doesn't, you can get the ETBC7 which is going to be a universal installation kit for trailer brake controllers and it allows you to connect this up and work the same way, but that's going to be a more detailed installation.You can find that ETBC7 here at etrailer.com But if you have that factory seven way, again, there should be a plug that's going to match up with this. You plug it in and then there's just four connections to make.
You'll just connect these up to the same color wires. Just match color for color on your brake controller itself and then you'll be able to plug in your brake controller and you should be good to go. The white wire's going to be our ground. Black wire is going to be our power. Red is going to be our brake signal and the blue is our output signal from our brake controller to the trailer's brakes.Overall.
This is going to be 36 inches long, so you'll have that much space to get between the plug and your brake controller. Should be enough room to get there. Not a bad idea to grab some zip ties or some cable ties and run those underneath your dash to make sure that none of your wires are hanging down and causing an obstruction. You don't want to get your feet tangled up in any wires. You just want to make sure that you're connecting it to a nice secure bundle of wires that's already there, maybe a little mounting position.
Just you don't want to get anything in the way of your steering column, your brakes, your gas, anything like that. So it's pretty easy to connect this up. We just have those four wiring connections and then plug it into place. That's going to do it for our look at the Hopkins Custom Wiring Adapter for trailer brake controllers.

Ease the installation of your trailer brake controller with this custom adapter. Connect the wires of the harness to your brake controller, then plug the other end into the built-in port beneath your vehicle's dash. Harness is 36" long.by: Kailen04/23/2020
Exactly as promised. Fit perfectly into the factory connector in my 1993 Ford f250 and I used standard wire crimps that came with my tow controller to connect. Much better than having to cut into the factory harness. Look for the plug under the CENTER of the dash, just to the right of the gas pedal clipped to the lowest plastic in the truck dash.

Worked perfect! Fit was correct and easy to connect. If you have the factory Ford tow package this will plug directly into a plug under the dash to the left of radio.

Fits a 92 Ford truck, unfortunately some of the truck's harness was not complete from the factory, and still had to run two of the four wires needed.

It is working great, and is simple enough for my father-in-law to use. I bought another for my new truck that was not equipped with a factory controller.

Fits the factory plug under the dash of my '93 Ford truck, so I can wire in my brake controller without cutting any of the truck's original wiring.

- Brake Controller Installation on a 1993 Ford F-250 with 6-Way Trailer ConnectorIf the trailer connector on your 1993 Ford F-250 is a factory installed connector then the truck should have the wiring already run for a brake controller. A brake controller would plug into the truck to the connector that is under the dash around the steering column. It is a 4-pin connector with a mating end that will fit onto # 20262. To test if the brake output wire goes from that connector to the trailer connector at the back you can perform a simple test. Using a separate 12-volt...

If the plug is present the adapter I recommend is part # 22292. Since you said there is no plug at the back of the controller and you just have 4 wires you can still use the # 22292 plug-in adapter. You would need to cut the plug off the end of the adapter that would normally attach to the brake controller. You would then be able to plug the other end into the...
