What is the Manual Override Lever for 2009 Ford F-150 OEM Brake Controller
Question:
Thanks Jon for answering my question about testing the trailer brake controller on my 2009 f150 king ranch. What does it meant put in manual override? And how do I do this? I read this somewhere else but don’t know exactly what manual override means. Thanks

Happy to help out!
Pretty much every brake controller will have a manual override. For the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 # 90885 there is a lever that you move from right to left and it sends full power to your trailer brakes (see attached). For your Ford OEM brake controller there will be a lever similar to this but in the form of a slide that you use. It will be located below or to the side of the "plus" and "minus" settings.
I unfortunately don't have a photo of this but it's pretty searchable on the internet if you type in "Ford OEM Brake Controller Manual Override".
