On your 2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac the factory plug for your brake controller will be located under the dash, on the left side of the steering wheel, just above your left leg.
The wiring adapter you will need to connect the Draw-Tite Brake Controller # 5504 to your vehicle is the Draw-Tite Brake Control Wiring Adapter # 3035-S. This adapter will have a 6-pin plug that will connect to your factory brake controller plug and the 4 wires on the other end will be butt-connected to the 4 wires on your brake controller, color to color.
I am sending a picture of the 6-pin plug end of the wiring adapter that will plug into your factory brake controller plug on your vehicle. This will show you the shape of the factory brake controller plug you will be looking for under your dash.
