FIBC for 2008 is different.
My dealer tech talked to a Ford Engineer.
FIBC sends a low voltage to check for "trailer connect."
Tech says there are a number of issues with the 2007 unit - he thinks they may have reduced the voltage for '08.
So......... to make a long story short, I need to completely replace the brake controller, including the rear plug. Can't use the one supplied by Ford.
I can get lights and 'turns" from the 4 pin. I'll have to run new power and brake wires.
Joy!
