Tow Command TBC Fault
Hey Guys
Today I saw TBC fault (again) come across my dashboard message display. Oddly enough I didn't have my trailer on my truck at the time. I've had this happen (intermittently) before. I didn't have my trailer on my truck at the time either. Can anybody tell me how to diagnose this further?
Thanks

Intermittent problems are a real pain...

If you don't find something real obvious like a cold joint or chafing where they spliced it, be sure to check out the connector they put up in the bed. Sometimes folks miss a few strands of wire on something and it'll short in there.
For the life of me, I really do not understand why Ford doesn't just offer a trailer plug in the bed as an option right form the factory. I wrote that on my survey when I got the '04.

Same problem I had. When the TBC Fault showed it would turn of the cruise control and affect the radio. Dealer changed master cylinder cause they had other cases of the fault and a new master cylinder fixed it. It did not fix mine. After many trips to the dealer it was fixed. He claimed that some pins were bent over in one of the electrical connector blocks under the hood. Apparently damage was done at the factory.
