Hello fellow Ranger folks. I finally got around to installing a brake controller. I used this unit for a year on my SS with zero issues, so I figured why not just install the same plug-n-play set up on the Ranger.
The wiring went as followed:
Ranger side: Controller side:
White White (ground)
Blue (some Rangers have Black/green) Blue (trailer brake output)
Violet/white Red (brake on/off)/(cold side of stoplight switch)
Yellow/red Black (power)
I installed it under the steering wheel which still allows for full telescoping movement and about 1" of up and down movement. We are not leaving it installed all the time (hence the quick disconnect harness). We only tow 5-6 times per year and it will take about 90 seconds to plug in the harness and screw in the two side screws. In this location, it seems less likely that I will hit my knee on it during entry and exit.
Here is the $5 connector I used in order to have the quick disconnect option.
