I just traded my 2001 7.3L for a 2005 F350 DRW... First thing I noticed was that some monkey or kindergartner has been monkeying with the wiring. I'm the 3rd owner, and the 1st decided to install the brake controller by cutting the factory plug off and splicing in their wiring instead of paying $10 for an adapter harness. Seriously, Ford couldn't make it any easier. At some point before I got the truck, all that was cut out just distal of the splices. Of course the wiring colors aren't the same between the Ford harness and by trailer brake controller, but I got that end of it all fixed. My brake controller boots up normally, but doesn't see a trailer.
As my luck would have it, the same "tech" (I use that extremely loosely) got a hold of the wiring in the back too. There is literally a splice block back there with a ton of connections on it... I'm a fan of things being stock/factory (unless it's a better design). That being said, I'd like to rip out the harness that they butchered in the back. I can find a bunch of things that plug into where the factory trailer harness would go, but they cut the wire that comes before the trailer harness pigtail. Does anyone know if that's the same harness as the lights, or is it different? Does anyone have the part number?
Again, I found the pigtail harness that has the actual 7 pin plug on it. I'd just like to find the harness that comes before that.
Thanks!
