Expert Reply:
I have spoken with my contact at Tekonsha, and he tells me that is sounds as if your wiring adapter is not pinned out correctly.
Some of the Ford Super Duty trucks and Ram models use the same plug, but the wires are pinned out differently. Take a look at the photo I have provided, to ensure that your plug is wired correctly.
If you find that the connector is pinned improperly, you can either use a small screwdriver to release the clips holding the wires into place and re pin the connector to the proper configuration, or call our Customer Service folks to arrange for an exchange or return.
If the connector is NOT pinned out incorrectly, please reply and we will look at some other alternatives.
