Lariat SR & Ford In-Dash Brake Controller

[Dan_G_Lightning]

I wonder if it’s in stock from Ford on eBay.

That switch LOOKS like just half the equation, and only for trucks without the rear park aid sensors.

The ML3Z-19H332-AB kit includes the new Brake Controller Module as well as the switch.

I used one of these for years with my VWs. I still have one in my garage that I don't need now that my Lariat the controller already. I'll list it for sale eventually but feel free to message me if interested.

I have an XLT ER with Max tow package. I bought a dash switch for the brake controller from eBay. I then used forscan to enable it and now it works. I followed these two YouTube videos:

I bought this more than a year ago from eBay.

I noticed there are different part numbers from ford for the trailer brake control kits depending on if you have back up sensors, so I made sure mine came from a truck that had backup sensors.

Success! Purchased the switch (ML3Z-14529-AC) and enabled the trailer brake controller using the video @Bmann posted.

See pic and video. Sure beats paying an extra $200, and still backordered as of this post.

Dan, I’m glad that worked for you! I thought mine was working fine, but when I actually connected to trailer and squeezed the slider, I get a trailer disconnected error. I tried it with two different trailers. Have you tested yours with a trailer yet?

Uh oh.

I will hook my trailer up this weekend and try it. The saga continues...

Yikes. Hope it works! If not, maybe there is something additional to do with forscan.

Well, shit.

Ideas?

oh, no!

Damn!
I'm contemplating taking it to the dealer to see if they can get mine working.... but I'm going to keep searching forums etc... to see if I can find any other ideas first.
I'll let you know if I figure anything out. Keep me posted if you have any success. What is the part number of your dash switch?

So both installed just the switch and it isn't working? But ML3Z19H332AB kit has both a switch and a brake controller module right? One option might be to order this kit and then trying to install both the switch and controller module. I bet it would work then. Might have to reconfigure that Forescan setting once you install the new parts.

I guess the issue is that the kit is on backorder so you want something now.

If you are pressed for time you could always try something like the Curt Echo (just uses bluetooth via your phone to adjust your brake controller).
