@Nicholas Williams, YOU ROCK!!!!!!! I watched about 10 videos on this before I came to this one. NONE of the others showed the need for updating the truck settings. This is the only video I found which explained the process start to finish and showed us the tools to do it. THANK YOU!!!!!!!! I have a working integrated trailer brake controller thanks to you. I love that good videos keep on giving for years.
Outstanding presentation, I performed this to my 2014 f150 exactly as detailed in the video (with only intermediate skill level-including download and first-time user of FORscan) and it worked flawlessly. Thank you for the post!!
Big thanks, I was able to install a used factory TBC module with intergrated LCD screen in my 2009 F-150 with a trial edition of the Forscan with OBDLink EX cable.
That harness that's on the back of your coin holder is also used for the Electronic differential lock on 2WD pickups. My 2012 4x2 came with a diff lock. The frustrating part about this install is that Ford has a similar clip to secure the TBC harness into the cubbyhole just like the coin holder. Yet they don't use it for the TBC connector. My TBC harness was taped up under the dash (wasn't a previous owner either, as I bought the truck with 6 miles on it). I guess taping it down there is easier for someone installing like a Tekonsha controller on the kick panel. My 2012 came with a packet that has a pigtail, fuses, and relay for use with a third party brake control.
Great video. I have a 2014 F-150 STX and the connector for the controller was plugged into the back of the little cubby, just like the 4x4 connector is plugged into the back of the coin storage. Nice catch about the relay and the fuse. No other videos, that I have seen, mention this.
Great video. Very detailed and easy to follow. What software do need to turn on and program the module yourself? Dealer in Missouri charging $130 to program it.
anyone have a picture of where the other end of the pigtail joins into the truck dash wiring connection ... the video shows the end that plugs into the controller but where do the wires connect at the other end ?
I read in my manual yesterday that if you don’t have the 7 pin, 4 pin & factory installed receiver hitch, it may not work for your truck(not wired from factory). 2012 XL with tow package
I recently did all the installation and took it to ford and had my computer enabled. I tried 2 different trailers but the tbc won't recognize my trailer. It says no trailer connected. Any advice ?
Thank you for the video. Everything worked great right up until I searched for the TBC module. I have a 2014 F150 STX and it didn't show in the log. I found another video (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-O5gEhTa1btA.html) that helped me over the hump. I never saw TBC module but I did find "Brake Gain". Enabled it and now everything works! Hope this helps out those having the same issue.
