Question:
I have a 2000 ford f150 with factory trailer wiring for a 4way if I install a 7way with a Tekonsha brake controller do i need to wire separately for the brakes or will this wiring harness work without extra wiring.

To install the wiring for a installation of a brake controller on the 2000 Ford F-150 with a factory 4-way connector, you will need the Ford Replacement OEM Tow Package Wiring Harness, 7-Way, item # 118242, and a harness that includes a connector for installation of the brake controller.
Tekonsha brake controllers use the # 3035-P wiring harness, for connection of the brake controller under the dash. You can order this harness with the brake controller. I have provided a link to the page with all the brake controllers and wiring for your vehicle for you to choose from.
We have a video of the installation of the P2 brake controller on a 2001 Ford F-150 for you to review, that should help with the installation.
