From ford forum, 08 has a wiring harness issue!!! Mide did glad i sold it !!! My Myco 2011 work great with 2011 Chevy

If that doesn't fix your problem.Check the wiring under truck towards the back under bed,it's a known problem that if you have an intermittant ground in that area you'll have that same problem.Seems like Ford didn't do a good job with the wiring harness.Also if you have electric/hydraulic brakes the controller is not certified to work with Ford's IBC as stated in you owners manual.

who's boat ??? BTW found this !!





Final chapter in the saga of the brake delay. I finally bit the bullet and relocated the ground wire on the pump. It is now in an isolated circuit directly back to the truck battery (it had been grounded to a common ground in the trailer). Delay time now is 1/2 second or less on manual override and not noticeable with using the brake pedal. The system now works as advertised and the secret is that the ground path MUST be directly back to the truck battery

If the guy who brought it had problems too then I would suspect some kind of trailer issue. I had a 2007 Myco that I pulled with 2006 f-250 with P3 about worked great. Can you find someone with a truck/brake controller that is known to work and try your trailer? Also if you can find another trailer to try with your truck. good luck

And Bill could have the answer. If the ground needs to direct to batt then there is a good chance any truck this trailer is hooked to will have the same problems.
