Great video man it literally took me less then 15 minutes to do it all.

I installed the oem ford one. Was cheap and easy. Program it using forscan keeping my truck looking original. But that a good 2nd option for those that can use forscan

thanks! saved me a ton of time...

@robbiemullins9442 3 месяца назад

Question, is the display supposed to stay on after the truck is turned off?

@lawnandlight 2 месяца назад

I don’t think so

@bobcarey8240 Год назад

Does it work?

@lawnandlight Год назад

Sho does

@chasesteinberger5389 Год назад

What do you do if you only have the 4 pin connector in the back?

@lawnandlight Год назад

That’s quite a bit more in depth. All of the proper wire should be there somewhere, you just have to tap into them. There should be a RU-vid video somewhere on it.

Great Video! so there is no need for programing?

@neilritter8418 2 года назад

Finnaly a good video on this job, making it look easy. Thanks man!

@lawnandlight 2 года назад

My pleasure. Thanks for watching. Good luck on installing

@toontown6969 2 года назад

The factory has to have the computer flashed to enable the oem one. Pretty crazy they are so cheap on a 40-60k truck.

@lawnandlight 2 года назад

Agreed. Interesting

@seangibson1921 Год назад

So the forescan tool is not required for the aftermarket controllers ?

@toontown6969 Год назад

@@seangibson1921 nope. Thankfully they set it up where it’s plug and play if you don’t want the oem system. Oem uses the multiplex computer whatever they call it. I would guess this plug tees in with the wiring from that module.

When i plugged it in (curt, with etrailer pigtail), and connected a 7 pin tester to my rear plug, the BK light was constantly on, instead of 12V...and nothing else came on when pressing the manual brake lever... What cpuld be the reasons? 2018 f150, all factory wiring (as far as i know)

Thank you, you saved me $170 , if your ever in Ohio I’ll buy you some beers:)

@lawnandlight 2 года назад

Sounds like a plan. Glad it helped!!

@marisolwendland3149 3 года назад

Can you please make a video on how to do this on 2021 F150? They’ve changed the plug or connector, five months after release of 2021, the connector provided with the truck doesn’t work for ant after market and their oem is not available. Help!!

@lawnandlight 3 года назад

I’m sorry Marisol. We don’t have access to a 2021 f150.

@JohnP02809 3 года назад

I’ve got a 2021 F150 and Could use the same assistance.

@Tom-ii9oy 3 года назад

how would you test it or tune it? can you explain the different numbers on that screen and what they mean? i have the exact same truck and looking to install one myself

@lawnandlight 3 года назад

I just hooked up a trailer with brakes to test. The numbers on the screen show the sensitivity of the brakes. The higher number, the more the brakes grab
