Installation of Tekonsha Brake Controller Adapter

This adapter plugs into the 4-pin connector on your vehicle's built-in brake control wiring harness. The harness is located underneath the dash, to the left of the steering column, taped to another harness near the emergency brake pedal.


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.

I have a 2011 dodge 1500 4x4. This installed in a couple of minutes with ease. This brake controller is the best I have ever used and this adapter allowed it to plug right in to factory wiring harness. 6470

did you have to have the truck eviccomputer reprogrammed to recognize the brake controller after installation? i can not find an answer online. I have installed the controller, but have not yet tested it, and am wondering if i need to have a flash programming done? thanks

The only flashing or programming that would have to be done would be if you had the factory brake controller and installed a Tekonsha instead. You would have to reprogram the computer to turn the factory controller off. If your truck did not have a factory brake controller, but did have a tow package with a factory 7-Way, you should be able to plug in and go.

Order this adapter cable early afternoon on a Tuesday and it shipped same day. I paid for standard shipping and they upgraded the shipping at no cost. I received the cable on Thursday. The cable is well made. I installed it Thursday after work and I am very happy with the quality. It is listed for 2010 Dodge Ram 1500 but I have a 2011. It is the same connector though. Once connected everything looks correct from and operations perspective. It recognized that the trailer was not connected so first test complete. I have not tested it with the trailer yet because my truck is not broken in enough with only 150 miles. Will be testing it out hopefully in a few weeks. 8424

  • How To Reset Computer On 2010 Dodge 3500 After Replacing Factory Brake Controller With Prodigy P3
  • What you might do is disconnect the vehicle battery for a minimum of 3 minutes with the Prodigy P3 brake controller still plugged in and that should allow the computer to reset and not be looking for the factory brake controller. If that does not work, then you will want to take your vehicle to the Dodge dealer so they can re-flash the computer to get rid of the fault code and keep it from returning. Let me know if that works or if you need any more help.

  • Tekonsha, the manufacturer of the Brake Control Adapter, # 3021-P, has not yet confirmed a plug and play brake controller wiring harness for the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee. There should be a bundle of wires for a brake controller up under the dash on the driver side, potentially held together with tape or a tag that explains the functions of the wires.
