I installed the oem ford one. Was cheap and easy. Program it using forscan keeping my truck looking original. But that a good 2nd option for those that can use forscan

When i plugged it in (curt, with etrailer pigtail), and connected a 7 pin tester to my rear plug, the BK light was constantly on, instead of 12V...and nothing else came on when pressing the manual brake lever... What cpuld be the reasons? 2018 f150, all factory wiring (as far as i know)

Can you please make a video on how to do this on 2021 F150? They’ve changed the plug or connector, five months after release of 2021, the connector provided with the truck doesn’t work for ant after market and their oem is not available. Help!!

I’m sorry Marisol. We don’t have access to a 2021 f150.

I’ve got a 2021 F150 and Could use the same assistance.

how would you test it or tune it? can you explain the different numbers on that screen and what they mean? i have the exact same truck and looking to install one myself

@lawnandlight 2 жыл бұрын

I just hooked up a trailer with brakes to test. The numbers on the screen show the sensitivity of the brakes. The higher number, the more the brakes grab

Great Video! so there is no need for programing?

@toontown6969 Жыл бұрын

The factory has to have the computer flashed to enable the oem one. Pretty crazy they are so cheap on a 40-60k truck.

@lawnandlight Жыл бұрын

Agreed. Interesting

@seangibson1921 Жыл бұрын

So the forescan tool is not required for the aftermarket controllers ?

@toontown6969 Жыл бұрын

@@seangibson1921 nope. Thankfully they set it up where it’s plug and play if you don’t want the oem system. Oem uses the multiplex computer whatever they call it. I would guess this plug tees in with the wiring from that module.

What do you do if you only have the 4 pin connector in the back?

@lawnandlight Жыл бұрын

That’s quite a bit more in depth. All of the proper wire should be there somewhere, you just have to tap into them. There should be a KZfaq video somewhere on it.
