I guess it's reading the truck's battery. I wonder why my truck's battery doesn't show on the multi-meter? Anyway, I connected my Dad's 5th wheel plug to my truck and same thing happens. All the lights etc. work, but when I manually slide the IBC to on the pop up appears saying Trailer Disconnected.
I stopped by Etrailer.com and picked up a F150 harness for my Prodigy II controller. I think I'm going to install the Prodigy. Seems like everyone says the Ford's IBC is too fancy and wants to work with too many systems within the truck or something. I hate that I have to do this to a 2 week old truck, but I don't really have faith in the IBC.
