Hi I just ordered the Brake cotnroller and it arrived but I bought the Hopkins 47715 Connecter I was just wondering if that was the right connector

Hopkins 47715 Plug-In Simple Brake Control Connector, Brake Controls - Amazon Canada

Do you mean to plug into the OEM harness under the dash? I had to get a separate harness to connect the two together... Search Tekonsha 3065 harness. This type of harness is readily available for ~US$15. It is made primarily for Fords. kj

Not necessarily the Tekonsha... It just needs to be the 'Ford' harness. Look at the picture to see the two ends. I want to say I got mine from Autozone. Since it is for Ford they are very easy to find.

the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 2 Axles - Proportional - C51180 looks pretty simply with the factory hitch. no need to run hardwire and take the Discovery apart...
