Diagnosing a Brake Controller Problem

Alright, today on this 2009 Ford F-150 we are going to diagnose a brake controller problem. Now we can use these steps on any brake controller that is on the market to verify if it is working or not. Now our brake controller is already telling us that it has an error message. It is flashing an Er on top. Usually it means an internal problem. We tested our trailer so we know it is good. So, it is not that. So first off we will make sure we have a constant 12 volt power supply. We will check the black wire first. OK, we are good there. Now we will try our red wire for our brake signal. OK, that is good there. Now we will try our blue wire and that will be our output. So we should have output on this wire whenever we hit the foot brake or the manual override. OK, we get nothing on the foot brake and nothing on the manual override. So definitely the error is internal and this brake controller does have to be replaced.

TruXedo TruXport Tonneau Cover Review

Today we are going to install a tonneau cover on our 2009 Ford F-150. We will use a tonneau cover from TruXedo. And it is going to be our TruXport tonneau cover, and its part number is going to be 298101. To begin our install, we have to install a couple of seals that go on the very corners of the rails themselves. It is a stick-on affair, so it is pretty easy to do. All right, next we will go ahead and take the tonneau cover itself and the front rail and go ahead and put that onto the truck. That can be simply right up front for now.

Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 2009 Ford F150

Today we are going to install a Prodigy Brake Controller, part number 90185 on our 2009 Ford F-150, and we are going to use the accompanying brake control adapter and show you how it gets installed. This is a little bit different from previous models. The plug for the brake controller is actually behind this tray right here. What happens is, this panel comes off, and then we get behind the tray - unscrew the tray - and the connection is right behind it. All right, what we are going to do first is go ahead and just take off this panel right here. And it is actually pretty easy. Just give a gentle pull on the bottom and just work your way up. And start on the right-hand side, so that way you can pull it out from underneath this piece here. When you do pull on this, this little panel here will come back toward you, too, and give you a little bit of extra room to pull it out.

• Troubleshooting Malfunction on Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Brake Controller # 90195 on 2009 Ford F-150
  
• Your Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195 may be functional, but might have a different error due to a potential problem with the screen. Unplug the unit for 30 seconds and plug it back in. If that does not work, you will want to check the wiring to ensure it is not crimped or exposed, creating a short. I recommend testing the wiring on the tow vehicle side with a circuit tester such as # 3808. You will want to check the black power wire to see if it is getting juice from the

• Wire Colors and Functions to Install the Pollack Pigtail Harness # PK11998 on a 2009 Ford F-150
  
• Vehicle manufacturers have been known to change the wire colors and functions from time to time so I can give you an idea of what the colors and functions may be, but I strongly recommend using a circuit tester, like part # 3808, to test the function of each wire. Ford has traditionally stayed with the standard color codes which is as follows - Green - Right Turn and Brake Yellow - Left Turn and Brake Brown - Tail Lights White - Ground Orange - Backup Lights Black - 12 Volt Power Blue

• aFe Silver Bullet Throttle Body Spacer for 2009 Ford F150 Lariat
  
• Because the aFe Silver Bullet Direct-Fit Throttle Body Spacer, part # AFE46-33002 is designed to mount between the throttle body and intake manifold, it will be compatible with your KandN air filter system. Keep in mind that the spacer is 1 inch thick, so if your aftermarket filter system has proper clearance to be moved 1 inch further away from the intake manifold, the spacer would work well for you. In most cases, the connection between the throttle body and the intake manifold is right

• Weight Distribution System Recommendation for a 7000 lb Horse Trailer Towed by a 2009 Ford F-150 STX
  
• When choosing a weight distribution system, ideally the tongue weight of the trailer will fall right in the middle of the effective range of the system. It is important that you find the tongue of your trailer when it is fully loaded and ready to tow and that you also include the weight of any cargo loaded in the bed of your 2009 Ford F-150 STX behind the rear axle. Since a weight distribution system distributes the weight from the rear axle to all axles, the weight of additional cargo behind th

• 5th Wheel Installation Kit Recommendation for a 2009 Ford F-150 with 6-1/2 Foot Bed
  
• If the hitch model you referenced is the Lil Rocker, it will fit in Reese 5th wheel rails. For an installation kit that will also fit your 2009 Ford F-150, I recommend the custom installation kit # RP50081-58 that you have referenced. The custom installation kits require much less drilling than universal kits and will install easier and faster too. Once installed the center of the hitch jaws will be centered over the rear axle as indicated in the instructions. I have included a link to the i

The tailgate fits in the same location as the factory tailgate so there should not be any interference issues. If you are describing a step side bed then there are not 5th wheel tailgate options that will fit.

• Will the Rhino Rack T-Load Hitch Mounted Load Bar # RTL002 Accommodate 2 Kayaks on a 2009 Ford F150
  
• The crossbar included with the Rhino-Rack T-Load # RTL002 is 49 inches long, and the usable carrying area between the included load stops is about 44 inches. You will have about 47 inches if you remove the load stops. As long as the combined width of your two kayaks does not exceed that width and their combined weight does not exceed the 132 lb capacity of the T-Load, you should be okay. You will also need a crossbar on the roof of the vehicle to support the other end of the kayaks. Rhino Rac

• How Does the Dexter Electric Over Hydraulic Trailer Brake Actuator Work
  
• You are correct in your assessment of how the Dexter brake actuator works. The brake controller in the vehicle will send back a signal to the actuator and it will, in turn, apply the appropriate amount of hydraulic pressure to the trailer brakes. The Dexter actuator has 4 wires to connect. I have included a diagram of how the unit will need to be wired. You will need a breakaway kit, if you do not already have one, for use with this unit. You can use # 34-285.

• There is no problem cutting out your own holes in your plastic bed rails to install the Erickson Heavy-Duty Bull Ring Anchor, part # EM4001. For the best fit and look I would recommend using a tool like a small rotary tool for a clean cut. Also, be sure your dimensions for your cut match that of the anchor. This anchor is designed to fit on the bed rail and not on top of the plastic bed rail cover. The plastic cut out should have a width of 2-3/16 inches and a length of 3-3/8 inches. For

• Trailer Brakes Getting Extremely Hot When Towing with a 2009 Ford F-150 and Brake Controller
  
• You do have an issue that needs to be addressed. With the brakes getting that hot, braking performance can be significantly reduced, your brakes will wear prematurely, and the tow vehicle is working harder to stop and most likely pull the trailer. I would start out checking the trailer connector at the rear of the vehicle, without the trailer connected. There is a possibility that mis-wiring or corrosion inside the connector is causing power bleed onto the trailer brake circuit, which will ca

Once this is done the power to the brake controller, black wire, and the stop light circuit to the brake controller, red wire, should be active. You can test these two wires for proper function using a circuit tester, item # 3808 if needed. If you do not have power to the brake controller, you should check the tow package fuse

It has a tongue weight capacity range of 200 to 600 pounds which puts your trailer tongue weight in the middle of that range and that is right were you want to be. You will also want to keep in mind that when calculating tongue weight, you also have to factor in the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle.

• Can a 2009 Ford F-150 with a 5-1/2 Foot Bed Tow a Keystone Cougar 5th Wheel Trailer
  
• Because your 2009 Ford F-150 has a 5-1/2 foot bed, you will need a Sidewinder extended pin box to replace the pin box that is on the trailer. You will need to determine what model pin box the trailer uses and then compare that to the available Sidewinders to see if there is one that will fit. I have included a link to the Sidewinder main page for you to view. If you find there is a Sidewinder that will fit, you will then need a stationary 5th wheel hitch.

• With a trailer that weighs 5,700 pounds, plus the 300 pounds of gear, we are looking at 6,000 pounds. You will want a weight distribution system that has a tongue wight capacity range that encompasses 10 to 15 percent of the gross trailer weight with it loaded and ready to tow. That would put your Fun Finder tongue weight at 600 to 900 pounds, so I recommend going with a system rated for 600 to 1,200 pounds like Strait-Line Weight Distribution System w Sway Control, # RP66088.
