There is a very easy plug and play solution for you to install the Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90885 in to your 2000 Ford F-150. You will use the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers part # 3035-P.

This will plug into the port located underneath the dash and will allow you to then plug that directly into the controller. Check out the attached video of when we installed it on a similar Ford.
