05-07 brake controller install

[Bobby@cp]

Alright so today I swapped in an 05-07 lower dash with upfitter switches and brake controller.

Now has anyone used the oem brake controller in a pre 05 truck? What did you do to get it to work?

Wit the upfitter switches where did you tie into to get power? I have the complete harness with relays.

Good question

I wonder how your going to program for it ?
the Master cylinder also needs addressed even on a straight forward install

If I can get it to work just like a normal brake controller I'd be happy with that.

Bump

We spent quite a bit of time trying to get it to work. We had it where it would put out 6v to the brakes and the gain worked as it should, but that took quite a bit of time and just didn't have the extra time to finish it.

Hmmm

I was just thinking of figuring out which wire did what on the harness coming off the aftermarket controller and then which wire was what on the factory harness and go from there.


I need to figure out where to get power for the switches as well since I have the oem harness with relays.

Ok after doing some intense googling LOL I'm seeing that apparently the 02s have a similar fuse box like the 05-07s. on the 02s the relay in the box is marked for trailer battery and on the 05-07s its the upfitter switches.
