Is Anybody in the same predicament as me with trying to get TBC? Back ordered since mid January 22 from levington ford.? Anybody know where to find one or have knowledge when they will be available? I need the TBC for factory installed hitch w/park assist.

I went through the same dilemma a couple of months ago; took forever. I ended up ordering one and another one from my local dealership, so I have an extra one (been meaning to put it in the marketplace here). I did open the box to confirm the components.

The part number I have is: ML3Z19H332AA.

I'm not sure what the TBC difference is with and without park assist though? Seems like the TBC would be same in either case....

Thanks for reaching out, not sure the differences but ford dealer told me to order TBC ending in AB.

I've been waiting for a few months now. The AA part is discontinued, AB is the newer one.

FWIW my truck was built on October 20th, 2022. My “dealer” said I needed an AB too. BUT the AA was used until a job change. I have an AA in my truck now and it works flawlessly and as documented.

I Did some research on my Takata TBC and found a wiring harness for 20 bux that mated perfectly to trucks wiring harness, tested and it works perfectly!

For $100 plus shipping you could have had my extra, brand new AA a month ago ?

I didn’t know that was an option. I figured they made a new one to fix all the issues they were having. But if yours works that’s great and a good price

I would contact the people at etrailer.com and see what they would recommend. Often the third party brake controllers work better than the factory ones.

At the time AA was even scarce and AB was missing a diode holding up shipments. AB supersedes AA is all… like Job 1 vs Job 2. I was in a pinch and needed “something” because the wood chipper rental place wouldn’t let me tow their 12” chipper without a TBC.

Any way glad you got you TBC… bought 2 AA one from McAllen tx the other from Idaho somewhere….. worked out… now I have a spare if anyone can swing $100 plus shipping…
