Hooking Up Brake Controller to 1995 Ford F-250
Question:
I have a 1995 F250 7.3 L Powerstroke Turbo Diesel with two batteries, obviously, and was wondering if the hookup would be any different?

Expert Reply:
The process for hooking up a brake controller on your 1995 Ford F-250 is going to depend on if you have the factory 7-way, factory 4-way, or no factory connectors at all.
For example, if you have the factory 7-way you would only need the brake controller and plug-in harness like the Curt Venturer NEXT Trailer Brake Controller # C74VV & Wiring Adapter # C51322.
If you had the factory 4-way you would need to add a 7-way with the Curt Venturer NEXT Trailer Brake Controller # C74VV, Wiring Adapter # C51322, and Adapter 4-Pole to 7-Pole and 4-Pole # 37185.
Or if you had no connectors you'd need to add them with the Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat # 118316, Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller - 7-Way # ETBC7, Curt Venturer NEXT Trailer Brake Controller # C74VV, and Wiring Harness # C51515.
I have added links below to a pair of help articles which go over exactly what you need to do for these installs.
