Expert Reply:

The wires you describe make it sound like you're using the factory brake controller pigtail that came with the truck, usually in the glove box.

You sure can install a Prodigy P2 in your 2003 Ford F250 Super Duty. The P2 includes a pigtail that plugs into the rear of the controller. The pigtail wires are red, white, blue and black. The wires would connect to your factory pigtail as follows:

Red factory pigtail wire to black wire exiting rear of the controller
Light green factory pigtail wire to red wire exiting rear of controller
White factory pigtail wire to white controller wire
Dark blue factory pigtail wire to blue controller wire

I've linked you an FAQ article about brake controllers. I hope you'll find it helpful.
