Brake controller wiring harness

I have a 2015 F250 with factory trailer towing package but not a factory brake controller. I Have an aftermarket one with a wiring harness that I got separately and it says that the connector is to the right of the steering column but the connector isnt the same as the wiring harness. Does anyone know where to plug it in? I couldnt find any place to plug it in.

take the center stack off and where the brake control rests in the stack the wiring is there.

Are you talking about the that gray cover under the steering wheel?

center stack around the radio and hvac.


on the center stack you should see the spot where the controller is to go. wiring should be behind it.

Scott, are you referring to the wiring for the IBC? My understanding wast that he's not trying to install the factory controller.

As stated above, the wiring is below the radio in the center of the dash. It is the same one that the factory controller would have been plugged into.There is a wiring harness available from Ford (mine was in the glove box unopened) that plugs into the factory wiring under the radio that you wire to your aftermarket brake controller. I routed the wires to get the plug near the bottom of the dash on the driver's side of the tranny tunnel so that I can remove the plug easily when I sell the truck without removing the radio.
