It just snaps in. No fasteners to remove. I pulled the small glove box down, and then reach in and up to grab the module. Wiggle it around and it will pop out.
I had mine out to install upfitters, so the pics from that job might help you figure it out. See this link.

charto911,
Have you disassembled the 7 way trailer connector at the hitch yet? I don't have the factory controller - I have a Tekonsha - hooked up to leave after camping and no trailer brakes. My problem was the wiring connector that plugged in to the back of the 7 pin connector at the trailer hitch. I have a pull behind 28' TT. Some cleaning with electrical cleaner and a good solid plug in cured my problem. My F-250 is an 06 also. Four torx screws and an unplug from the wiring harness on the back side and it comes off and apart for easy cleaning.
