Default Electric Brakes

So I go to the nearest parts stoer and buy the electric brake module and the wiring kit (which has plugs on both sides) and can not find where it plugs in. I had others look also and do not see it. Any help would be helpfull....

Hold on while Carnac ascertains the year and model of your truck.

On mine the connector was taped on top of the wiring block that is between the steering column and the emergency brake. There was a clip to release the wiring block.

Mine was on the fire wall behind the parking brake.

I guess what I forgot to mention was the year. The parts store guy came out because he had a 06' and knew where it was but we are thinking the 99 is diffrent. But anyway is the 99 in the same spot?

It should be in the general area, I think it is a blue connector. I had a 2000 CTD and it was beside the emergency brake on the fire wall.

I found mine way up under the dash took a while to find, the dealer said that someone must have stuffed it up there because they are not normally that high up.

Vehicles equipped with the trailer tow package also include an electric trailer brake wiring provision that terminates at a connector located on top of the large body harness connection under the instrument panel to the left of the brake pedal, as well as an electric trailer brake pigtail harness and an instruction card (1) that are stored in the glove box (2) when the vehicle is shipped from the factory.
