Where did you mount your brake controller? I have mine under the dash, where the PO mounted it and it is a major pain to adjust in city traffic down there.

Steve,

I have mine mounted down by my left knee. It's also a real pain to see and adjust. Once I got mine adjusted just right. I took some of the wife's nail polish and make witness marks on both sides of the controler, so I don't have to mess anymore when it's totally loaded.

In the cubby hole on the dash. Very clean and easily accessible.

Mine is also over my left knee. Not a big deal and easy enough to adjust (digital) no more than I need to do it. And if I do need the manual apply, it's easily accessible.

Mt truck has a console that goes from the dash to behind the seats to i put mine by my right knee as far over as it could go.

I have mine mounted under the dash on a plastic trim panel under the steering column right by my right knee. The location makes it very accessable for on the fly adjustments.

Both my dad and I have our Voyagers mounted just right of the steering columb down below the dash next to my right knee.

mine is centered between my legs. i bump it once in a while. not that much now since im used to it. i very rarely have to adjust it. the Brakesmart is nice for that. i adjust it once on hookup IF i hook something up other than my GN and then again when i go back to the GN.

im taller than most, and people a lot shorter than me have to move my seat back when they drive. i sit very close, but like i said, its muscle memory for me to get in and out and not bump it.

LOVE the brake smart....

Check out my web page, I have pics of where mine is mounted. It's easy to see and adjust if necessary. waytogo

Directly below my steering colum on the edge of the dash frame. Really the only spot without much effort. I can see and reach it fine, so it works fine

My prodigy is located on the right side of the SC just below the dash, it works fine there for me, easy to adjust, etc.

In the cubby hole on the dash. Very clean and easily accessible.


Same here.

On the left side of the dash above my clutch pedal. I hit it with my foot when getting out every once in a while, but that was where it was mounted when I got the truck.

Just below the fold out ashtray/change collector. That places it just outside my right knee and very easy to access.

Mine is also under the dash, just centerline of my left leg. Not sure if I planned it this way or not, but I can see mine where it is mounted and can reach it fairly easily if I want to change the output signal or put on the trailer brakes by themselves (something I've never had to do with the F350).

Down by my right knee. No problem there, even though I'm 6'8".

When I get mine it will go right by my right knee cap just like in my Bronco

Here is a pic of my brake controller with the Comp mounted under it.

I find it easy to reach the controller and Comp while driving.

Mounted just to the right of my right knee. Almost in the center of the dash, that way if something were to happen the wife can reach it from her seat in an emergency.

Left side under dash next to parking brake handle. No issues really wuth the Prodigy I don't mess with it much so I could probably mount it in the glove box if I wanted:pimp:

CK5... i asumme you probably have the same problem as me... nice new cleanly arranged truck and now i have to stick this ugly ass box somewhere in my brand new truck... what are the manufacturers thinking!!! hell everybody is going to add these things, you would think it would come up in conversation... anyways, i mounted mine vertical by the tcase sifter... i just used some double sided tape and stuck it to the plastic... the wires tuck neatly under the console, easily adjusted, most important, out of site... and no holes drilled...

I have mounted mine on the ash tray.
easy to reach, yet I have never bumped it.
The ash tray sits in the open position, controller mounted to the top of it. Then I made a face plate just above and mounted driving and back up light switches.

hope you can see it inthe attached picture.

I mounted my brake controller on the dash just above where my right knee is. Its a prodigy, so its easy to adjust on the fly. To make the install even easier, I went to camping world, and bought their harness for the prodigy, so it was cake. Just plug one end of the harness into the plug under the dash, and plug the other end into the controller. No splicing, no mess, and it was a whopping $13.00 for the prefabbed harness. Well worth it to avoid the hassles of splicing/connecting. Here is a pic:

Our Prodigy is mounted in the exact same location with the same harness.

I thank Ford for the wonderful built in controller that my truck brought. Makes it easy to use, works great and looks real pretty.
