How hard would it be to just splice it to my harness in my 2002 Ford F-350? Are the wires on their harness marked to which is Pos, Neg, and Brake?

If you have a tow package with your truck it would have came with a wiring harness for you to wire the break control into. Just match the colors, it didn't take me more that 15min to do.

My 2002 f350 had the wires under the dash. I just had to find the wires which were marked and connect them The the wire harness from the controller.

That is exactly what I did. The harness was slightly different than the stock plug. It came with directions that allowed me to wire it in with no problems. There were some specific instructions about specific years of Ford trucks and the brake wire, but I was able to figure it out with the instructions and a simple voltage meter.

Greg, I have one of these on the front & I don't care a lick for it! Buy a bigger unit if you can! As far as wiring, I just made up a 2 strand wire harness & ran it along the inside edge of my deep v right down to the battery. I then split it & put a connecter for each post. It works like a charm! I'm no Guru when it comes to this kind of stuff either and I made it work. cbmgh@comcast.net if I cabn be of further assistance to you. CB

If I was you ,and I was because I bought this. You can splice it but your trailer brakes and center plug is also a hot feed for your breakaway if you wire it to keep the battery charged. BUY the plug,its neater and everythings connected in one shot.

You have power door locks right? That is required. Compare your tailgate latch mechanism to an F150 and if they look the same it should work. The step should be a non-factor. I have the step and other than being sure that you route your wire away from that mechanism, you should be fine. Pay attention to the wiring in the instructions. It seems that Ford changes the wire colors and routing every year.

I had no issues, i went and bought the plug for my system at autozone so didnt have to wire directly into the system, i dont know what you would put it in, but my 2004 mustang was very easy to install, just make sure you get the correct din replacement pieces.

They changed the sending unit harness, its an easy rewire. Bed was off my truck so that made it easier. Instructions were included with part.

that info likely could be ascertained by looking at a wiring diagram for the many Ford products that use this, such as 94 F series trucks. Otherwise its just plug and play in the proper application.

I changed the bearing because it was making a howling noise. But I also had issues with the traction control on my son's 2002 Buick Century 5 yrs. ago and the dealer checked it out and said it was the sensor in the bearing so after $600 dollars it did not fix the problem. So I researched the internet and found that there were a lot of problems with the wire that feeds the sensor in the wheel bearing it was made too short and when you turned the wheels it would stretch the wire and created a short giving the ABS light on the dash. I found that if I cleared the light and took the car to an empty parking lot and drove in alternating circles I could get the ABS light to come on. So I changed out the wire per the internet instructions that GM has upgraded to fix the problem. Of course I guessed wrong on which side of the car to do and ended up changing out both wires. I could only locate the parts at the dealer. I think it comes with the wire and waterproof connectors. You have to follow the wire back into the wire harness 18 to 24 inches by removing the tape around the plastic loom and connect the new wire. I think the dealer parts were around $40 to $60. Hope this helps.

Go to the Tekonshia web site to confirm the correct plug in cable for your F350. I would order the controller and plug and play cable separate.My F150 has the towing package, you'll want to verify your truck has the towing package, if not you'll have to splice in the controller cable.

I put it on a 2002 F250 7.3. Simple tools needed and about 30 minutes. You can remove the overdrive switch itself as it just plugs in at the end of the shifter. No wire chaffing was found on the old lever. I will order just the switch next time.

This sensor was a direct fit for my 2006 Ford F150 with 5.4 engine. The pigtail (clip) is round where it clips into the vehicle"s wiring. I replace all four and this part fits in all of them.

I am not an expert but I just installed one of these on a 2004 F150. My truck had the factory installed trailer towing package which included the factory trailer light wiring. Installation was simple because the factory trailer wiring has a plug that is specifically for a brake controller. I purchased the Tekonsha Brake controller and the Tekonsha wiring harness at the same time

I agree with you. I also did not find it very clear. My advice is to pay close attention to what to what is written not the diagram. It is very easy to install incorrectly otherwise. Also before you remove faulty sensor - not how the wires are attached and label them before removing. That way you can install replacement without instructions. Finally - new time delay switch is touchy. I would set it to middle position. Good luck.

The resistors are built in the light circuit so you can splice into the harness directly. I have a European jeep so had to use a converter. Sometimes the indicator flash quickly when you use the brake at the same time

No idea... If you have the part that clips in you are good to go. The wiring is already in it. I guess some people destroy the wiring that comes from the car. That is not included...

The only thing I can think of is on your particular truck the wires aren't there for it to work that was the way it was on my 1998 F-150 my F-250 was plug and go

Mine also did not come with a diagram (how hard would it be to include one?) I can tell you it did not match the color coding on the damaged existing factory harness I was replacing. The heavier gauge wires were for the brake controller. For the others, I had to use a multi-meter, but got it done, despite being on the road in the rain. Good luck!
