Recommended Installation Kit For 2015 Ford F-150 For a Brake Controller
Question:
Hello, I have a 2015 F150 that does not have the tow package. I am looking for some kind of electrical adapter that I can plug into the truck to provide a 7-pin connection for bumper pulling a trailer with brakes. I already have the controller and adapter to hook that up but I need the adapter and wiring to provide power from the truck itself. Thank you!

Expert Reply:
I assume you have a 4-way connector at the back of your 2015 F-150.
If so you will need part # ETBC7. This plugs into the 4-way connector and with additional wiring will give you a working 7-way and 4-way trailer connector at the back of your truck. I have attached a drawing that shows how the wiring is done for the # ETBC7.
When working with electrical connectors I recommend using dielectric grease like part # 11755. This keeps dirt and moisture out of the electrical connections and helps prevent corrosion.
If you need the 4-way for your truck I recommend part # C56110.
