Hey Phil,
If you're looking for the factory wire harness for a plug and play connection you'll find a connector that's gray with a red/orange center like the plug on the Curt Custom Wiring Adapter for Trailer Brake Controllers # C51436. This connector is hidden in the dash behind the center console under the driver's side vent. If you look up a Ford factory brake controller install it will show you the way to access this harness. I've seen it done before and it's quite a bit of trim and little parts to remove just to get to it so this will be a frustrating installation.

Thanks Kevin I actually found it by the driver footwell like your 2021 F150 video showed. So maybe there are variations. I am good at this point. Thanks again for responding
