Brake Controller Install Harness Recommendation for 2017 Ford F-53 Coachmen Mirada
Question:
My 2017 F-53 Coachmen Mirada motorhome came with a brake controller wiring harness that has 5 wires white, red, blue, green, brown rather than 4 wires white, red, blue, black. The harness label says the brown wire is for illumination. Which controller and wiring harness is compatible with my F-53. Thanks for your help.

For RVs built on the 2017 Ford F-53 chassis the install harness we have for brake controllers is the part # 3035-P which will plug right in. It's not uncommon to see brake controller harnesses on the vehicle side have more wires than needed. The illumination circuit you referenced would not be needed so you wouldn't need to worry about it.
For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes. This will be the last brake controller you buy. It can easily be transferred to future vehicles as well.
