WHERE IS THE PLUGIN FOR THE BRAKE CONTROLLER LOCATED UNDER THE DASH ?? I found a 6 pin connector by the emergency brake , it has 1 pin w/ 12v all the time, 1 pin w/ 12v with ignition on ,1 pin ground but no pins with continuity to the brake light switch or the elec. brake pin in the rear 7 pin connector ,

I spoke with my contact at Tekonsha and he informed that you are looking for a brown 6 pin connector behind the hood release, up near the firewall to plug in the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter # 3035-P. He said there is also a gray connector that is very similar to the brown connector that the # 3035-P will actually plug into but it is not the correct one to use.

The Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Proportional Brake Controller # 90885 and the # 3035-P Ford Super Duty Adapter is what you need.

What will cause my emergency brake light to stay on all the time.

I would guess that either your emergency brake is still active or you have some kind of wiring issue. You'll want to take your vehicle in to a dealer or shop and have them look at it for you.
