Brake Controller Wiring on a 2004 Ford Explorer

Question:

I have a 2004 Ford Explorer that I will would like to add a Prodigy brake controller. I am assuming it is plug n play at the controller end. The hitch end has a 4 way flat that needs to be converted to a 7 way round flat blade but I would like to take this off and move it to a new truck in September. Any thoughts? What do I need and how much work is involved?

If your vehicle does not have a 7 Way Plug installed, you will need to manually run the wires to complete a 7 Way. We offer a 7 Way Brake Controller Installation Kit,item # ETBC7 which includes all of the wire (except an existing 4-Flat) and necessary items to properly function a brake controller. Please note this kit utilizes an existing 4 Flat Plug.
One of our best selling brake controllers is the Tekonsha Prodigy, item # 90885. Many customers purchase this model because of the sleek design and that it is equipped with a self-adjusting sensing device for easy set up. There is a plug in wiring harness, item # 30350-P, that will attach to the back of the controller and plug in underneath the dash of the Ford Explorer (equipped with a tow package).
