Message center problems Please help :)
Good morning fellow Ford friends. I have an issue with my 2011 SD. When i press on the brake pedal I get a message saying I have a trailer connected and then when I step on the brake pedal again it says trailer disconnected. This happens every time I touch the brake pedal. I have replaced the trailer connector 7 way plug thinking that was the issue to no avail. Please HELP!!

I don't have any specific things to tell you other than I have heard of this happening to other '11+ owners. Every time it has has come back to a short or pinched wire under the truck going to the plug in or at the junction where you can add the in bed plug for a 5th wheel. Be very careful and check it with a good light. A good friend of mine swore the wiring was fine and we found a pinch right before the connector. Once we found it and replaced the wire, no more issue. It could be something shorting the 7 pin on your truck. Get under there and start hunting. It's easy for stuff to get under there and start tugging at wires. It's also easy for a mouse to start chewing under there. That was the case on one of the trucks. Good luck...
