Electric trailer brake?

[GaryL]

Probably a simple question for my 2016 4R limited with the tow package.
In the glove box there is a plug-in for trailer brakes that has 5 wires. The Drawtite Activator controller only has 4 wires.
I don't know if I tie the 2 greens together or leave one of them dead ended.
Any help will be appreciated.

If this helps, the factory plug has colors, Yellow, White with black stripe, Black, Green with yellow stripe and another green with silver dash marks.

The control unit has White, red, black and blue wires.

Thanks
GaryL

I installed a p3 tekonsha a few years back. I just followed the mfg instructions But it's about the same as the following you tubs video.

Edit: Goes without saying after installation test everything and make sure it is functioning properly.

Thanks Spartacus, I did get it all installed correctly according to the video and I did leave the green wire with silver dash marks dead ended and unused. My control unit is a draw tite Activator and it has a boost button for if you ever need to just apply the trailer brakes alone. This does not seem to be working which is why I am here. The boost button should be able to lock up the trailer brakes but mine seems to do nothing no matter what setting I have the controller set at. Finding the factory plug-in was a real trick because they have it tucked and hidden as the video showed. More research on my end is in order because with this same controller on my F250 when I hit the boost button the trailer brakes activated very noticeably and could actually lock right up.
