I bought the vehicle used and the original owner had an auto distance starter installed. During the installation they cut off the factory plug for the brake controller. I want to install an after market brake controller but the adapter I bought has nothing to plug into. I can splice into the Ford wires I just don't know which color to connect where. Do you know which color ford uses for the brake controller circuit?
