2016 Dynamax Force Brake Controller wiring, where is it ?

2016 Dynamax Force Brake Controller ?

I can't seem to find the Brake Controller Wiring Harness under the dash.
Do I have to disassemble the dash to find it ?
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I think Halla indicated in a previous post it was located under the drivers seat. I'm sure he will chime in soon to validate the location.

It's sitting on the gas tank below the cab on the drivers side. You have to pull a panel to get to it and then run it through the firewall.

Yes gas tank below the drivers side. If you lay under the coach you can find red wire looms in the frame. I fed the cable through those, in through the firewall and hooked it all up.

Good idea!

Also there's room in the air brake panel knockouts in the firewall, which is what I used.

I found wire coiled up on top the drivers side fuel tank, but bringing/feeding it in through the air brake firewall is confusing to me. would you happen to have a picture available?

Not near my RV so can't grab a pic.

Are you a Force or Force HD? Would probably be a bit different if you don't have air brakes.

See the green, red tubes. This is on the drivers side left of the wire looms.

Is that the BC Loom in the Red spiral rap ?

Is the BC wiring separate from the rest of the trailer wiring or is it all together in one wiring loom ?

No. I used heat shrink wrap. The wires were out of loom by that point.

Ok yeah then trace the colorful tubes under the dash. They'll go through a plastic piece in the firewall with knockouts for other tubes/wires. I used one of these rather than drilling my own hole
