Keep watching Craigslist or find a program that notifies you if one comes up. I found mine on there 2 weeks ago, New in the box with bracket and cord for $60. Only thing missing was the mounting screws.

Reps going out to kawcrasher who took the time to find me a AIC on Craigslist 5 hrs from me and forwarded the info to me. Called he guy who still had it and was willing to ship if paid through PayPal. Paid the man and is going to be shipped today. I can't wait. Thank you for your time kawcrasher. FTE brotherhood strikes again.

We all try to help the best we can.
I just had time to look on eBay and only found one.

Can't post link from phone but eBay number is
260956637170
It's the badass one also. If I didn't have one already I'd be on top of it for sure.

That's the one I have been trying to win for a couple of months now. Dummies keep running up the bid. That is the same one I just bought. Hope to get it tomorrow.

Happy to help.

I am going to put a "brake override" switch on mine so that the parking brake is not needed to use it. The second time I used mine it would kick off in about 5 seconds. It turned out the the PB switch would lose contact for a split second and cause the AIC to kick off. It was so fast you couldn't even the light flicker. Plus I worry about the PB freezing on in the cold.

The PB switch is just on/off switch, that when closed grounds out the lead going to the PB. To override it you just need to tap the wire going to the PB switch, run that wire to 1 side of a toggle and the other side of the toggle gets a wire that goes to ground. When you flip the switch it will ground out the switch lead and cause the "brake" light to come on and allow the AIC to work. If you just tap the lead on the original switch, and not disconnect it, the parking brake will work the dash light as it should.

Oh btw, These things are huge and take up a lot of room. I hadn't seen one since I bought my first SD new in 99. And even that one was not installed. I think the cord may be long enough to ditch the bracket and put it in the center console.

I was thinking the same thing about the console. All my real estate is taken where it mounts with the trailer brake controller, airbags gauge, salt spreader and plow controller.

I have a switch on my parking brake. Very handy. My pb is seized up anyway.
If I were a manual trans I'd feel different but autos are fine.

Mine just sits on the trans tunnel ahead of my $2 coin tray/cup holder ...aka catch all.
I got rid of the trashbag holder and cut an alum plate to fit, my cb is there, my brake controller is next to the pb release, and my power inverter is stuck in the cubby (fits perfect) my cup thrower is now a switch panel.
I'm always looking for more relestate in my truck.

Alright, got my AIC today. Went to plug it in to make sure it works and I can't find the plug to plug it in. Where is it located? Anybody have pics?

Above the brake pedal in front of your knees.
That panel that comes off has a plug on the lower metal cross piece.
