Trailer brake controller wiring question.

So the trailer brake controller I bought says that I need to wire in an inline 20amp fuse with the power in wire. My question is, does ford put this inline already with the pigtail they put in the glovebox? Also it calls for a 25amp auto reset breaker for a different wire. Are any of these prewired into the system? I know that putting them in series won't really do any harm, but it would save me some time and a little bit of money. This is for a 03-250 with the heavy duty tow package.

Sweet, are there dummy fuses in the box, or are they all set up for Ford's circuit? Just curious because my freind with a GMC said his had the wiring set up, but the box had dummy fuses and relay as place holders.

You'll have to check for the fuses.
Never heard of "dummy" fuses,or relays.
If there is one in the fuse box,I would suspect it was real and functional.
