TRACTION CONTROL

Found behind the cluster the plug for T/C, checked by wiring diagram.
It is possible, that i only to buy a switch and it is plug&play? Or is it necessary to change the ABS module? What do u think?

Are you talking about the trailer electric brake controller connector?

thank you, but thats what i found out by myself, see post #1 and #3.
My question is, if it can be, that i only have to connect the switch and the T/C will work. Can this be possible?

I would think if it was that easy then everyone would do it. I can't tell you for sure, but knowing Ford you'll need a different module that supports the traction control feature.

I've attached a PDF showing the wiring to the switch (on the right side). To me it looks like you first make sure fuse #15 is installed, then you can jumper pins 1 and 2 to activate the TC, then use a digital meter across pins 6 and 4 to see if the module reacts.
