I bought a factory brake controller for my 2012 F-150. I need to have it turned on/enabled for it to be recognized. Any Ford Tech’s on here that want to make a few bucks for 5 mins of your time. Not wanting to have a dealer charge me a full hour or more to do the work.

Does it plug into the silver connector on the right side of the steering wheel? Did you put the fuse in? I did it on my 2013 and I did not have to have it turned on

I haven’t put it in yet but it does plug into the spot under the 4x4 switch and I have the fuse/relay. I’ve been told that in order for it to show on the dash and work with sway control if needs to be enabled. I got it off ebay from fairway ford and they say.

> After installation your F-150 will need it’s Smart Junction Box “enabled” (flashed/programmed) to recognize the newly installed brake control module.

Does yours show up on the dash and work correctly?

Just a little update. I had it done at Delacy Ford. The programming was $39.99 but I got $10 off because I bought my truck there so with tax it was $32.

All the info shows up on the dash, ie… Gain, trailer connected, not connected plus it works with Ford sway control. Also nice factory look.
