Gang - I'm asking this for my old man. Apparently the plug-in location on his 08 (d-max) is different than my 06.

 

He's trying to find the recepticle for the trailer-brake controller and he's having trouble. The brake controller is a prodigy and he bought it with the pre-terminated GM harness.....just cant find where it plugs in on his truck.

 

Appreciate any help you can offer.

Usely it's a bunch of wire taped to a big wire harness by the brake pedal.......there might a be connection or you may not have one......I've email them a couple of time already for schematic for different truck for my P3 prodigy......give them the prodigy model number and info about the truck and your email address and they'll email you a schematic/diagram on how to connect everything.

I checked the link & noticed that they are referring to the "Left & Right studs" when looking from the front of the vehicle. Anyone that has been around a vehicle, knows that left & right is referenced from the driver's seat looking forward.

Heres a you-tube video of the trailer brake and underhood wire

hook up. Forward to about 3:50 and they show the correct studs

to hook the 2 wires to.

The 2 studs are on the front of the underhood box (as in the front of the truck)

The trailer power wire connects to the driver side post.

Brake controller wire on the passenger side post.

sonjaab, thanks for the link to the Youtubr video. One final question, which fuse positions (labelling) do you install the req'd 30A & 40A fuses? They say they have to be installed on the webpage & video, but don't actually show their installation.

 

TIA

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
