Connection Needed to be Made at Rear of 2011 Ford F-150 to Complete Brake Signal for 7-Way

Question

Question:

I purchased the Tekonsha break controller #39523 with the wiring adapter #3035 for my 2011 F150 it was very simple to install. When I purchased the used trailer i purchased a adopter for the 4way on my truck to go to the 7way on the trailer. It has 3 wires coming out the back besides the 4way plug. It will not operate the trailer breaks, but all the lights work. Can you tell me where the 3 wires go to operate the trailer breaks? Or can you give me advise? Thank you Larry

To activate the brakes of your trailer there is one more connection you need to make between your 2011 Ford F-150 and the blue wire of the 7-way adapter you bought.

If you check out the attached picture you'll see exactly how to make this connection.

I linked a wiring guide for the Jensen Stereo part #JWM60A which details pin position, wire color and function. For your old stereo model AWM910 I also linked that model's wiring guide page from the owner's manual.
