Hope this helps; keep us updated.

not sure if you need to change it but 05 and 06 f350 are haveing a lot of issues with this you might want to see if they have a recall....Sorry I cant help futher

the connector is wet dry it out then push plug back into the plug in to solve problem.

That is your trailer brake controller that is built into your dash. If you are hooked up to a trailer it could mean you are losing your connection or ground to the trailer. If you are not connected to a trailer it means there is a problem with your brake controller possibly a short in the wiring caising the fault code.

check the rear plug on the bumper they are prone to water damage and corrosion, if you unplug the 7-way and four way plug from the body connector and test drive the vehicle this will tell you if the plug is the source of the problem.

Please specify what you are calling a Tbc ?? if its just a warning light and oil and water seem ok then use it till you can get it plugged in somewhere
