Ford Intergrated Brake Controller

I believe my brake controller on my 2011 F250 is about to give up the ghost since I have to keep setting the gain higher. How hard is it to replace? Thanks much.

Check your trailer's brakes ASAP.

If the trailer brakes are not adjusted properly (brake shoes/pads close enough to drum/rotor), they simply won't work.

The best analogy is that you're trying to get the light to turn on by changing the light switch...except the bulb is burnt out.

The actual controller is just plug and play. A clip holds it in; slide it forward and unplug it. No tools needed.

Thanks but do you have to remove (dash, cup holder etc.) anything to get the clip?

this YouTube video shows pre 2008 removal, but it should be similar for a 2011.
