I am so sorry, I have been really busy and not in this forum for a while.
I did not have the plastic non-marring tools to pop out the cubby from the front, so I went from behind.
The switch out of the cubby to the TBC was really basic. I used a flashlight and looked up from under the...
Me 1 Dealer 0! ForScan worked wonderfully! I went into the As-Built and changed the numbers as suggested on the spreadsheet. 8 for the Brake controller and 4 for the Gain. It was fantastic! Connected the 7 pole and immediately got the trailer connected notification on the dash. Tapped the...
Wow! I get the OBD2 tomorrow in the mail and will let everyone know how it goes with ForScan. Thanks for getting back to me Char17EL. I really hope it works. It doesn't make sense that the instrument cluster has the tow settings, the wire harness is installed, the trailer brake wire goes from...
I did order it from fordpartsgiant.com. I have an RMA with them and have explained what dealer has said. Waiting to see what they say on the return. Got it for $90. Dealer parts department wanted $120. At this point I think me trying the ForScan would not change anything on the return to...
I think it is worth the gamble at this point, unless the Original poster, Char17EL ,of the ths thread says it didn't work with his 2017. Thanks to you and Chuck, I have the tools to make it work , if I can.
Yep, this is what I needed. Ordered and will try myself on Saturday when it arrives. I was also nervous about messing with the computer, but am willing to try now. I've done some ForScan reading up and I will give it a try. Worst thing, it doesn't work and I have an OBD connector and ForScan...
You had the dealer update the computer after you installed the brake controller on your 2017 Expedition, correct? My dealer is saying it can't be done on a 2017 Expedition. Or was yours from the factory?
Just got back from the dealership. They wanted $118 flat fee. They had my Expedition on two separate occasions for 3 hours. They said they contacted the Ford engineer and the engineer said it can't be done on a 2017. The Ford Tech said they followed the steps to do it and it wouldn't work...
Got the dielectric grease and checked the owner's manual for the fuses and relays. All are installed in fuse box on top of the radiator shroud. I will install the 7 pole tonight, the brake control module comes Monday. I am excited to install that, since it looks so easy. Then we will see how...
Thanks everybody! This is exactly what I needed to know. Chuck, you are right the blue is not part of the 4 pole, what I meant to say is the 4 pole connector is next to the receiver with a capped blue wire for the electric brake.
So I go ahead as planned with the Bargman (7-pole and 4 pole)...
I have a 2017 Expedition XLT EL. So I plan to Install the OEM brake controller Module that goes into the "cubby" on the dash. I have verified that I have the connector waiting behind the cubby. At the back on the receiver hitch I have the 4 flat connector. I want to add the 7pin connector for...
