I have a 2008 XLT with the towing package and have been searching the manual for the brake controller plug in point with no luck. I saw the connection point just in front of the parking brake peddle. Is this it? Any help would be appreciated.

Mine had the wire harness and instructions in the glove box.
 






Thanks GreenMando, I completly forgot about that adapter.

I just finished installing a Prodigy brake controller in our '08 EB. The Prodigy came with a Ford OEM harness so I could plug it into the connector by the parking brake pedal.
 






Does anyone have a picture? I've been looking for it in my '04 and I can't find it. I'm feeling very blind by the way :) I'm sure I'm over looking it - but I'm not seeing it.

Thanks

Check out the sticky thread up top. 02-05 Explorers hid it behind the glove box.

So did you find it? The pigtail has a diagram. If not, look just to the left of the steering column, to the right of the e-brake. Find the seam, and follow it up behind the dash. WAY at the top, there will be a fixed gray plug. There ya go.

I had to have the service guy at the dealership show me. He couldn't find it either and had to look it up.
