Ford OEM trailer brake controller

I have a 2012 FX4 F150 with tow package but it did not come with the TBC? so I got one and will be putting in and off to dealer to get programmed. I cant beleive it did not come with it. says on sticker it has basic tow package but anyrate...I know I need to put in/install 2 fuses or a fuse and a relay. anyone know where I can find the slots they go in and what size I need or should I just inform and let dealer do it when they program it.

Thank you all

The wiring harness should be under the knee panel above the steering column. It's the same harness you would use to connect any brake controller. Look for a solid blue wire.
The relay goes in slot 9 fuse goes in slot 21 of the fuse box located in the front of the engine compartment. Check your owner's manual for fuse value.
