I spoke with my technical contact at Tekonsha, who tells me that he isn't aware of any other spot where the brake controller connector would be located. Every Ford E-Series van or van cutaway chassis they've dealt with has had the brake controller connector clipped to the back of the storage pocket above the radio and HVAC controls. It's possible that the connector might have came unclipped from the back of the storage pocket, so I'd recommend reaching back in there to see if you can find a loose connector. Removing the doghouse might make it a little easier to see back in there.

I've linked to an install video that you might find helpful.
