Installing Prodigy Brake Controller in 2005 Ford F-150 that Has No Trailer Wiring At All
Question:
There is no power to the brown wire connector on either the 4 pin or 7 pin connectors to my prodigy brake controller. All lights work except the taillights. There is no R201 relay in the engine compartment on my 2005 f150 fx4, and there appears to be no metal the space is there in the engine compartment relay holder to even add a relay. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Sounds like your truck is completely missing all of the brake controller wiring so what you'd need is the # ETBC7 to wire in your brake controller as this will convert your 4-way to a 7-way and comes with everything needed to hardwire a brake controller.
