I am a new member so I could use a little input on trailer brake controllers. I have a 2007 F-350 pick-up with a 6.0. I wanted to install a factory set up. A few years ago I saw that the controller was mounted in the cubby hole in the dash where the four auxiliary switches are. But when I ordered the brake controller from my local dealer part #5C3Z 19H332 BA it was way different than the one I saw before. This one mounts in the dash above the ash tray. What am I missing here?

 

These controllers and the upfitters switches fit together in the same area.


I am going to send this to the 6.0 forum as you will likely get some others there that have the setup.


I looked on the body builders site and didn't see anything there on the TBC.

 

still looking for help on this issue. The only thing I found is that the factory controller goes in the small cubby hole in the dash. Would I have to have the dealer do the install?

 

I can send a pic of mine this evening--it's all factory so will give you an idea

 

You can do it yourself, but you also need the proper TowCommand master cylinder.

 

Sounds like the one above the ash tray is the correct controller for the years 2011-present.

Three thing you will need to make this happen;
1. TBC module for the correct year
2. Master cylinder with 2 electrical connectons on the bottom.
3. Ford or someone with the software to enable it.

On a side note, when the TBC is enabled, make sure they unchecked the reset for the hour meter or it will be sent back to 0. I don't think you need to even ask how I know....

 

The factory kit includes the master cylinder. Pictures would bee great! My email is jbwmec@verizon.net

 

Sorry for not posting a pic yet. Having problems with my pc.
Still working in it.

Is this what your looking for?

 

You might want to do a little more research on the Ford IBC. While mine (in my 2005 F-350SD) does work well with the 4 Dexter NEV-R_Adjust drum brakes on my boat trailer, It doesn't play well with certain electric over hydraulic systems..........

In general, considering the work involved to install an OEM system in your truck, you might be better off with a newer and much more versatile after market controller.

the picture is great will do more research already purchased the factory kit and the illustration in paperwork shows it going above the ashtray but the directions are for the 2003-2007 Ford saving a buck
