brake control
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.

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....

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
