I have an 05 F-250 with the factory brake controller. I'm having issues with the controller recognizing my trailer and from what I've read this is common for the 05 models. The last time I towed the trailer last year I had no problems. The trailer sat all winter under my carport out of the snow and weather which is why I believe the problem lies in the truck. All my trailer lights work when I plug in the trailer but I have no brake control. I've checked all the connections on my trailer to make sure they're good and even replaced the plug on the trailer but it didn't change anything.
I'd really like to keep the clean looks of the controller in the dash rather than hanging off the bottom of the dash so my question is would replacing my controller with the controller out of an 06 or 07 make any difference? Would I be spending money for something that is going to give me the same problems down the road?
As always, thanks for the help and input.
