Install your electric brake controller quickly and easily with this custom wiring adapter. Simply plug one end of the adapter into your brake controller and then plug the other end into the built-in harness beneath your vehicle's dash.
Features:
This adapter plugs into the built-in connector beneath your vehicle's dashboard. To access this connector, first locate the instrument cluster finish panel in the center of you dash, near the driver's side. Carefully pry the panel out and undo the locking tabs to remove the panel. Plug the adaptor into the mating connector in the large gray housing behind the panel.
To install your electric brake controller you need to connect the wiring of the controller to your vehicle. Certain manufacturers offer pre-wired options, typically known as tow packages, wherein these wires are run for you from the dash to the trailer connector on the back of your vehicle. Often, a brake controller wiring harness is included with your tow package. This harness plugs into a port beneath your dash and connects to the four wires of the brake controller. If, however, you have a brake controller with a plug in place of the four loose wires, you can use the Tekonsha adapter.
This adapter requires no hardwiring. It is designed to plug directly into your electric brake controller for the simplest installation possible. Because there are no wires to connect, installation is not permanent. You can unplug and remove your brake controller at any time and securely stow it away.

installation instructions and specs for complete information.
Today on this 2012 Ford F150 were going to install part number 90185, the Prodigy brake controller. Were also going to use part number 22292 from Tekonsha. This is a Tow Ready plug in wiring adapter for electric brake controllers. First off well go ahead and locate the port for our adapter cord. Its underneath the dash right next to the diagnostic board. Well go ahead and cut the tape away from it and pull it loose.
Next well go ahead and remove the cap from it, and then well plug the cord into it. Well let the cord set there for now. Now well go ahead and remove one of the fasteners below the dash and well use that for our first attachment point for our bracket. On the other side of the bracket well be using the self-tapping screw to go onto the metal behind the plastic. Next well go ahead and plug the adapter cord into the back of the brake controller, and then well install the brake controller into the bracket for good.
Well use the two machine screws and thread it into the side of the brake controller. Now well go ahead and check the brake controller. It says NC for no connection, so that means theres no trailer. Now well go ahead and plug our trailer into the back and we can see weve got some numbers. Well go ahead and test the manual override and we can see how the numbers go up and down.
Then well go ahead and check for the brake signal. Well push down on the brake pedal and you can see how it shows 0.08. That will finish it for our install of part number 90185 from Tekonsha and 22292 from Tekonsha on our 2012 Ford F150.

Great product here, and I especially liked the videos to help a DIYer like myself. The only thing that could make the vidoes better is if they provided a tool list, ie what size socket, so the installer can be better prepared.69949

Very easy to install with adapter cable for correct model. Looked at video first before installing but the video wasn't correct for the 2012 F-150. The is a difference in the 2012. The actual factory harness was located under the dash instead of behind panel as video shows, not a problem as far as installation goes because it still hooks up the same way, just the factory cable on my 2012 was located under dash. After finding the cable, the install was breeze. Called tech support when I couldn't at first find the cable, they were very helpful and excited to help...very good work!!65480

Just exactly what I needed to connect my Kekonsha Prodigy P2 to the factory wiring in my new pickup. Most retailers could not say for sure which harness I needed because my truck is so new (2013 F150 STX), but etrailer was on it like a duck on a Junebug. Good Job.59860

The wiring harness plugs right onto the factory wiring plug in the F-150, and then into the brake controller. It couldn't be easier! Save yourself some work and frustration, and get the factory wiring pigtail. It makes for a correct, neat, trouble-free install!54173

Great communications, kept me up to date on my order and shipping. I will buy from etrailer again. The brake controller is outstanding. Easy to set-up, works perfect. The 2009 f150 install video needs to be updated for newer trucks. My 2012 is different.40193

This wiring harness works as advertised, plugged right into my 2010 F150 and P3 controller. I reused my controller instead of paying 300+ for the built in one t be installed. Only thing I think they could do better is use heat shrink at the ends of the wire loom instead of electrical tape.38032

My new controller showed up earlier than expected. I installed it exactly like the site showed - couldn't have been easier. I picked up my new trailer the next day. The mechanic at the trailer place looked at my new Prodigy 2 controller and told me I picked the right one. Great information, products and service. I highly recommend etrailer. 32942

I installed a Tekonsha brake controller in a 1992 Ford F-150. etrailer had the Tekonsha controller , the wiring kit and excellent information on installation. Shipping was fast too. I just purchase an adapter cable to install the Tekonsha contoller on a new F-150. It was the right product at a great price and again the shipping and service was excellent. Anytime I need anything regarding towing and trailers, I look at etrailer first.19016
