Factory brake controller

Hey I just found out my factory under the dash plug has been cut off.


Can I get a replacement to put back at a reasonable $$$??


Don't want a bunch of splices if I change out controllers a few times.


THanks

Make sure you're looking at the right wires. It is a very common mistake for someone to see the blunt cut upfitter and/or passthrough wires and think they are the brake control wires and miss the very well hidden brake controller plug.

If it is the plug, you can probably get a replacement pigtail from the dealer.

Thanks for the help. Finally made it over to local trailer shop. Low and behold way up and hidden the tech found my plug.

Ford must of forgotten to snap it in the correct location. They installed my relays and fuse from factory bag.

Everything works.

Take care
