Hey Ken, it looks like your 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning has brake controller wiring behind the coin holder. If you pop that out you should find 4 wires that you will use to wire to a controller like the Redarc Tow Pro Liberty part # RED52VR which only puts a small knob on the dash of your truck. You will need to make a trip to the dealer though to activate it with forscan.

Hey Ken, how did things go with the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty on your Lightning? Were you able to get it activated at the dealer with Forscan? Your update could make it easier for the next person setting up a controller on the same truck.
