Joe, Clooney is correct. One thing a lot of people don't do and should be done is run your power and ground wires directly to the battery. Should you not have the plug, which some did not have you will have to run each wire yourself. On a '98 Ford under the drivers side, you should find a gray plug that has all the wires that correspond to your brake controller in it. Power, Ground, trailer-blue, and Stop light. Check to make sure you've got a good ground and as a last resort run the ground directly to the battery. If none of that works return the Redline and get a Tekonsha 9035XP. In almost 10 years of putting this particular brake controllers on trucks. I have only had 2 bad. One installed improperly - customer hooked wires up backwards, and one that just wouldn't work. I have probably sold over a thousand. To me it is a great brake controller. E-mail me if you have any problems. Tony
