RR-40 finds - Reverse wired Prodigy brake box connectors

Item: This was shown to me lately and before you know it there can be two hours lost on a Prodigy brake box installation by the issue.

Out of the box no one thinks to check wiring on the connector that plugs in to the Tekonsha Prodigy brake box. Just plug the connector and hook up the blue - white- red - black wires to the vehicle and spend several hours troubleshooting the faults. Right. Wrong.
Look at these. The left is right and the right one that came out of the Prodigy box is wrong and reverse wired.

The date tag puts this in about 10-07 time frame but it just recently made it off the shelf for an installation. Look twice at this situation folks.
