Help! Trailer Brake Controller Harness Plug...where is it?!

I really hate posting a new thread asking this - thinking for sure I would easily find the answer to this quesiton already in the forum...but I think that it is so simple an answer, no one has needed to even ask it - but I do!

I have a 2002 F-350 Lariat 4x4 crew cab, long bed with factory tow package (but no factory brake controller). Tomorrow morning I have to tow a trailer for a friend, so I ran out today and bought a trailer brake controller and harness from pep boys - the quick disconnect kind made for a 2002 ford f250/350, convinced that it would be an easy plug and play scenario.

I CANNOT FIND THE DURN PLUG UNDER THE DASH TO PLUG THE HARNESS INTO!

I have looked and looked, I just dont see it. Can someone please help me.

A pic of where exactly they put this thing would be awesome, if someone has it, or just a detailed sentence of where exactly it is.

I know I am about to kick myself, its probably staring right at me, but I just dont see it, and I'm runnin out of time!

Thanks All!!

It is under the dash, driverside, should have a plug on the end of it. Wire colors are red, white, blue, and black. Just keep looking it is under there.

Ok - As You Were. I found it. (To my credit, it IS sorta hidden.)

TO FIND IT:
Undo the four plastic screws holding the big plastic molded plate situated under the steering wheel. Get your head under the steering wheel and look to the right, It's kinda parallel to and under the radio area. There you should see a grey rectangular plug peeking through some metal framework with 6 matte silver male posts inside the plug. Thats the plug your looking for.

TO INSTALL IT:
Come up from under there with the harness in hand and kinda poke it into the plug enough to hold it (its sort of tight under there) then just press on the back of the wire harness and it will slide in and click. I think it is grooved to prevent you from inserting it upside down. I got lucky on the first try and it went in. Long arms and skinny hands will find it easier. I have neither.

There - now anyone out there as blind as me can also find their trailer brake harness plug.
