No Power to P2 Brake Controller in 2019 Ford F-150

Question:

I bought a P2 brake controller along with the adapter plug for my 2019 F150. I have trailer lights when hooked to multiple trailers but I have no brakes. The controller always reads that it’s not hooked up to a trailer. Not sure if it’s a fuse issue I check the plug connections. Stumped as to why I would have lights but no brakes. Even when hooked to a trailer and squeezing the brakes manually by hand on the controller still no brakes.

Hey Scott; with some models of the 2019 Ford F-150 power was not run to the brake controller port under the dash for some reason. So you'll want to use a circuit tester and test the black wire on the brake controller connector to see if you're getting power. My guess is you won't so you'll have to Power Wire Kit for Electric Trailer Brake Controllers # BRK-ELECKIT to get power to the port.

I have added a link below to a video of this part for an F-150 which may help.
