Ray Cecil Posted December 24, 2022 Author Share Posted December 24, 2022 So....I guess all I need is a brake controller of my choice, a female 7pin connector and bracket....and then just figure out how to wire up both of those components. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I finally got my trailer parts for the 7pin conversion. Going to work on that tomorrow night. I have to have it done then. My buddy Matt who I gave that old red truck to is done with it. He is giving it back. So, sense that's the truck that me and Holly rode to the hospital in for her to give birth to Levi, and today is his 10th birthday, we are going to fix it up for him over the next six years. Plenty of time to tinker on it. Going to go pick it up on the new trailer Saturday morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Cecil Posted January 22, 2023 Author Share Posted January 22, 2023 In the Bullnose era the trailer brake wiring was an option, as shown below. And if you have it then you have C1101 under the dash, as shown below. You can see where I wired my Tekonsha 90195 P3 controller in, It works really well and I like it. Alright, so I wasn't able to get the trailer brakes hooked up. I did get the 7 pin installed, and trailer brake wired in. There was not a connector for the factory trailer brake wiring running all the way back. The wiring stopped just above the axle. I found them dangling there, with factory labels/tags labeling them "trailer brake". I just didn't have any extra wiring laying around to extend them. Also, previous owner really butchered the 4pin trailer harness at the back. Once I get the truck back from paint, I'm going to decrease the underside and pull the rear harness out, solder in some more appropriate lengths of wire, get rid of all the butt connections and those blue wire tap crimp connectors. It's a mess. But anyway....going to get the F250 in the garage this morning, and start stripping her down for paint. Here are more shots at Levi's old project truck.

Today I started stripping down the F250. All that is left to do is raise the bed up onto some 4x4 blocks, remove back window, and figure out those side supercab window bezels. Anyone know how those come off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
