@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.
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.
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.
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 ?
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.
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 (ruclips.net/video/O5gEhTa1btA/видео.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.
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 ?
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
Dealership wanted to charge me $3-400 for activating in my instrument cluster. You saved me so much money, thank you for the video.

You saved me $170 and a full day of my truck at the dealership. Thanks for posting this
EXCELLENT video! Made the job so simple. Hardest part is fishing that plug up the right way so it will connect to the TBC. Keep up the good work!
If you remove the dust cap first, it is much easier to fish the plug up the console.
You saved me so many headaches especially showing the Forscan.
As others have said,, Great Video! Thanks for taking the time and sharing with us! Best one I've found, and my trailer brake module is now working.

Excellent video followed your instructions and everything worked out perfectly, thank you.
Install went exactly as you described. Thanks

I have the same model truck. Did yours work without the LCD screen? Mine just has the basic digital readout, not an LCD screen.
Thank you brother !! You saved me from looking everywhere for it
@@CharlieCB85 yeah I have the basic digital readout and it still works

where does the end of the pigtail connect to ? one end controller the other end Where?
This part does not fit in my 2014 f150. So confusing... The actual brake controller is too big for the hole in the trim
Thanks for posting!
Do you happen to know if you can still install and have it work without the 2” screen on the cluster?
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 ?
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.
It's right in his description, you need Forscan and a compatible ODB adapter.
the OBDLink EX cable would not let me access the module to reprogram is there a difference in these cable?
Great video!
Can I drive it to after install to have it programmed elsewhere?
Yes, just won't be able to control a trailer. Otherwise the vehicle is still 100% functional.
I just did mine works fine no programming
Unless you want to see the number on the dash
How much is Forscan?

Try checking then installing the Two Fuses that are required for the trailer brakes.
Did you ever find a fix for this?
Do all trucks come with the wiring at the bumper I can't find mine

Yeah but we do have it one the driver side inner fender so just have to pull to wires to the front (blue and orange)
Do u want to sell the cap?
Would this work on a 09?
Yes I just did mine make sure to get the oem with the screen read out
