After I installed It, I then had to go to the dealer to have them flash my truck so it would recognize the TBC in order for it to function properly.
Hope this helps,
Mine came with TBC and it worked when I towed my TT, I had no idea about the fuse and relay until my white night didn't work. Apparently my TT was not being charged as I towed but it should now. Should be able to ops check charging this weekend.

That's what caused me to start this thread - I tried installing a White Knight back-up light and it wasn't working. I've installed the two fuses and it works correctly now. Thanks!

So why would Ford place these into the glove box rather than installing them (I do have the TBC installed from the factory)?

My 2012 came with the same thing. Dealer told me it was for the TBC, but mine came with the TBC from the factory? They said I didn't need it...it was extra?

The white night is prolly my single favorite addition to my truck. It makes backing up at night 100% better. You would figure Ford would at least install them in the ones with max tow pkg.
