Red face brake controller harness location

Hi Everyone,

I tried to search but could not find what i need.
I am looking for the factory plug in under the dash on a 2005 f350 for a a/m brake controller. The manual says it goes behind instrment cluster but I cannot locate plug in. Can anyone help.


Thanks,

Peter

If you remove the cover underneath the steering column, you will find it to the right hand side near the foot pedal adjust switch. Hope this helps.

Remove the big rectangular cover below the steering wheel. Four easy twist locks open it. Then look inside and to the right through the little "window". See where the hand is pointing in picture. The factory harness is a gray plug that is snapped in place with one of those plastic "ribbed" type fasteners, and you can grab that gray plug and pull it toward you to "unsnap" it and make it easier to pull out and towards you to plug in the brake controller harness. In this pic, a brake controller harness has already been plugged in (see the brown connector plugged into the gray connector.)

Just another reminder... (or in some cases it may be a lesson) about Reputation or Rep points. Notice that at the top of each thread…over to the right you see a green box or in some cases multiple green boxes. The more boxes, the higher the poster’s reputation on the FTE. Do a mouseover the green boxes and it’ll give you that person’s rating.

When you feel that somebody has given good advice or has helped you with a question or issue there is a way to say “Thank You” to them. On the other side of the coin, if you feel somebody has provided bad information or that a post should be removed, you can also use this tool. They are called Rep Points.

Note at the top of the thread, there is a little scale symbol. Click this and you get a window that opens. There are two check blocks available, I approve or I disapprove. Check the appropriate block and make sure you enter a comment.

When you feel this is appropriate, use the system to give feedback to the folks who take the time to share information with us!
