Owners manual

Step 1
Ford Econoline Van
(BH1)
Locate the 6-pin, vehicle brake control harness connector
under the dash, to the left of the steering column.
On all other vehicles (BH2)
Locate the 6-pin, vehicle brake control harness connector under
the dash, near the center console. The connector will be similar
to that on the CURT brake control harness.
Step 2
Verify there is battery power (+) supplied to the connector by
carefully probing the connector with a test light. This can also
be done by following the wires to their source. Ensure they do
not dead end without connections behind the instrument panel.
If power supplied to this connector, skip to step 4.
Note: Some older vehicles will have a 4-pin connector in place
of a 6-pin connector. Some Ford Windstar models are not
equipped with a brake control connector.
Step 3
If the vehicle does not supply power to the brake control
harness a universal brake control wiring kit (#51500) will need
to be installed. Route all wires as directed in the brake control
wiring kit installation instructions.
To use the factory connector with the universal brake control
wiring kit the factory harness must be modified.
Cut the battery wire leading to the factory connector leaving
enough room to use a butt connector to attach to the battery
wire from the universal brake control wiring kit.
Cut the trailer brake wire leading to the factory connector
leaving enough room to use a butt connector to attach to the
trailer brake wire from the universal brake control wiring kit.
WARNING: After the universal brake control wiring kit is
installed cap and / or tape the exposed ends of the cut wires to
prevent shorting.
