Adapter for Allowing Ford Integrated Brake Controller to Recognize Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator
Question:
Traded my 2009 F-450 pulling RV with actuator HBA-16 1600 PHI Serial #511886. Is there something different that causes Fords 2018 F-350 to display error message on dash that trailer disconnected. Carlisle Manual is 440-1023. Brakes on the RV appear excellent, with existing Carlisle Actuator installed on 2009 DRV Elite Suites RSSB3 Any help is appreciated....

Expert Reply:
Most newer truck manufacturers have made their integrated brake controllers compatible with electric over hydraulic actuators like the Hydrastar # HBA16 that you mentioned but we have found that it's not always consistent that they will work without issue. Best solution we have for you would be to use the adapter part # HBA-CAM which is designed for integrated Ford brake controllers like you have. Once installed your truck will recognize that a trailer is connected.

WIl my factory setup work, i have read things that say it will and then things that say i need the HBA-CAM but that shows it is for Ford/Chevy's please advise as i do not want o spend money on things that are not needed. Thanks
