Over the years, Ford has used two different OE brake controller pigtails. One with a light green wire, the other with a pink wire. If your pigtail has a light green wire, it would wire as follows:
Pink pigtail wire to black brake controller wire.
Red pigtail wire to red brake controller wire.
White pigtail wire to white brake controller wire.
Blue pigtail wire to blue brake controller wire.
Brown wire on pigtail is NOT used.

Since yellow, green, and black are not standard trailer taillight wires, we will need to do a little more digging to find the functions of the different wire colors.
To determine the function of the trailer taillight wires, you will want to trace the wires into the taillight housing. The wire that makes contact with the outside of the bulb socket is the ground wire. Once you've determined which wire is the ground wire, you will want to ground this wire and apply 12V power to the other... view full answer...
