In order to use the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180 on a 2002 Ford F-150 with 4-way you'll simply need the 4 to 7-Way with 4-Way Adapter part # ETBC7L. This kit has everything you need to switch the connection point and it provides the rest of the wires and circuit breakers needed to power and use the Curt Echo. The black wire from the adapter gets run to the battery, the white wire goes to the frame, the blue and yellow wires won't be used but that's it for the install.
