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.

This was an excellent purchase. It expected the installation to be a "real five minute project", and it actually was really just five minutes. The project works just as expected with my brake controller.14396

It's amazing what a garage will try to charge you to install something this easy! I got a quote to install a break controller and then I looked online for one. Installed this unit in around 15mins and saved $400! Very happy camper!80381

We just purchased a Jeep Grand Cherokee with a type IV tow package and needed a brake controller. We selected the Tekonsha Voyager along with the adapter plug from the controller to our Jeep's plug. I installed everything this weekend and the controller and adapter plug worked perfectly.79125

Product received within a week and installed easily, once the Grand Cherokee underdash recepticle was located. Plugged it in and ready to tow. Great device and good service. Even the price was the lowest.68625

Was impressed that the order was delivered on time and the product was fine quality and as advertised. I certainly would suggest that friends would be pleased with the company and it's business practices and ethics. A breath of fresh air when dealing with on-line companies.66282

Excellent and timely service. Product is built to last; unless I change the brake controller to another vehicle, this may very well be the last time I need to purchase the adaptor cord.65013

Installed the Tekonsha P-3 controller on a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee (with factory installed tow package) using this adapter and it works perfectly. The tow package includes a matching connector that is taped to the top of another wiring box just above the emergency brake pedal. It's not easy to see at first, but it was directly on top of the box and facing toward the rear of the car. The hardest part of the install was deciding where to attach the controller bracket - took only a few minutes.50064

Bought this to put a brake controller in my new 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The Jeep came with a harness from the factory and the brake controller came with a harness as well. I would have had to splice them together and they were different gauge wires. This unit is all one piece and same gauge wire and looks proffesional. The price was very easy on the wallet too!40776

  • How to Install a Brake Controller on a 2001 Jeep Cherokee Without Factory 7-Way Trailer Wiring
  • The best option on Jeep vehicles without a factory 7-way is to use the # ETBC7 brake controller installation kit that you purchased, see instructions link. The 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee without tow package may have the connector under the dash from the factory, but, if present, it most likely is not fully functional. In addition there was no 7-Way at the rear of the vehicle so the blue wire from the harness is terminated somewhere in the factory wiring harness. We do not recommend digging arou

  • Installation of Brake Controller on a 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  • The Tekonsha Brake Control Adapter, part # 3045-P is for 2011 and newer Jeep Grand Cherokee with a factory 7-Way. It will not work on your 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee is not pre-wired with a brake controller port for installation of a brake controller. To install a brake controller on your 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a factory 7-Way you will need to do a little hard wiring. I spoke with my contact at Tekonsha and he stated that the only wire Jeep provides is th

  • How to Install a Trailer Brake Controller in a 2003 Jeep Liberty and 2006 Mercedes ML500
  • First, I will say that the Tekonsha P3, # 90195, is an excellent brake controller and would work well on both the 2003 Jeep Liberty and the 2006 Mercedes ML500. This brake controller is compatible with electric brake systems and electric over hydraulic brake systems. It also includes a multi-color display and can run diagnostics. The only thing is that you will need to hardwire the controller in both vehicles because a quick plug-in adapter is not available for either vehicle. But installatio

  • Wiring Harness Needed for Voyager Brake Controller Installation on a 2011 Dodge Durango Citadel
  • Since your Tekonsha Voyager brake controller, # 39510, has the 4 wires coming out of the back without a connector, you will need the brake controller wiring adapter, # 20274, for installation on your 2011 Dodge Durango Citadel, with factory tow package. I have provided a link to the installation instructions for this harness for you to review.

  • Trailer Brake Controller Wiring Harness for a Tekonsha Prodigy and 2001 Ford F-250 Super Duty
  • For a 2001 Ford F-250 Super Duty, you would need to use harness # 3035-P. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you. If your truck just has a 4-Way trailer connector, you will also need # 118243. I have included a link to the installation instructions for this harness as well.

  • Recommendations for Installing a P2 Brake Controller in a 2003 Jeep Liberty and a 2012 Liberty
  • On your 2012 Jeep Liberty there is not a port that a # 3045-P would install into. You could get a Replacement Brake Control Plug # 20127 and then hardwire the four wires to your Liberty. Once you do so you could simply unplug your P2 by the plug at the rear of the controller and then plug it back in in your other vehicle and it would be ready to go. The four wires on the back of the brake controller are: White: Ground, attached to the vehicles negative battery terminal. Black: 12v power l

  • Location of Factory Trailer Brake Controller Plug on a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  • If you look at the instructions for harness # 3054-P you will see that the connector is actually located further to the left than you might think. It is actually just about directly above the emergency brake pedal. There should be another larger connector right next to it. If it is not there then it is possible that it is behind the kick panel forward of the door.
