2011 F 150 Message Center Question
Hi to All: I just changed tow vehicles from a 2004 F 150 Lariat to a 2011 F 150 XLT equipped with a tow package. (26,000 miles in great shape, like new. ) I installed my Prodigy Brake #90185 from the old truck utilizing the new pigtail plug Ford provided me (along with two electrical add ons to the fuse box). Everything is working fine. All lights on the trailer are working and my Prodigy brake controller indicates it's connected and when I depress the truck's brake, the controller responds with the normal numbers in the display. I cant get to the correct screen on my message center to see the "Trailer Connected" message(if there is one) . I'm planning on taking a test ride Saturday. On the screen I have a number of choices which are confusing and the owners manual is of no use for this situation.
When I get to the "Change Active Trailer" screen , I have 3 choices to highlight and hit ok, 1. DEFAULT TRAILER when I depress OK it shows "accumalated miles 0 2. <NO ACTIVE TRAILER> when I depress OK it shows "Trailer Disconnected" 3. <NEW TRAILER> when I hit OK it shows a screen that you use to name the trailer.
Can one of you that have a 2011 F150 with the same message center help me? Am I suppose to get a Connected message or do I just go to the screen where I named my trailer and depart? If needed I will consult the Ford Dealer but thought someone might have the quick answer. Thanks Jim
