Tekonsha PowerTrac Electronic Brake Controller - 1 to 2 Axles - Time Delayed
part number: 39523
Easy-to-use brake controller activates your trailer brakes electronically when you engage the brakes in your tow vehicle. Set braking intensity to your preference and towing application.
Features:
- Brake controller activates electric trailer brakes (sold separately)
- Signal is sent to trailer brakes when tow-vehicle brakes are activated
- Adjustable output control lets you determine the amount of braking force
- Set to maximum when you travel through hilly terrain with your fully loaded trailer
- Back off the power output when you tow a lightweight trailer
- LED indicator on front of unit
- Green light indicates that brakes are connected
- Color changes to orange and then to red as the power output increases
- Built-in manual override
- PowerTrac can be used with trailers that have up to 2 axles (4 brake assemblies total)
- Mounting bracket and hardware included
- No need to mount level
- Additional pigtail harness (sold separately) or plug-in, vehicle-specific brake-control adapter (sold separately) can be used for certain applications to further reduce installation time
Specs:
- Dimensions: 3" wide x 5" long x 1-1/4" tall
- Limited 5-year warranty
Unlike pendulum-style controllers, which react to the inertia that is created by your tow vehicle slowing down, the PowerTrac applies your trailer's brakes when the brake pedal in your tow vehicle is engaged. The trailer brakes will be activated with an intensity set by you. This output (amount of braking power) is adjustable to suit your preference, as well as road conditions, type of trailer and load. You can also apply the brakes manually with the integrated override.
Because inertia plays no role in the functioning of this controller, you do not have to mount the unit at any particular angle. As a result, mounting options are nearly limitless. After mounting the unit, hardwire the end of the included pigtail harness directly into your vehicle. For even easier installation, a vehicle-specific wiring adapter (sold separately) is available for certain vehicles. One end of the custom adapter plugs into your vehicle, and the other end plugs into your controller - no hardwiring required. To transfer the PowerTrac to another vehicle or to remove it for storage, just unplug the unit and remove it from the mount.
Note: For vehicles without brake-control wiring adapters, a 20-amp circuit breaker (9506P - sold separately) is required.

Installation of Tekonsha Brake Controller Adapter
This adapter plugs into the port that is built into the electric junction box beneath your vehicle's dash. The black box is located to the left of the steering column, just above the carpet. To plug in the adapter, first remove the cover on the box. The adapter plugs into the second slot from the left, on the top row.
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.

Video Transcript for Trailer Brake Controller Wiring Colors
Today we are going to cover a frequently asked question. It really turns up a lot. And actually it is easier than you think. Basically, if you have a pickup and you got a tow package with it and you got one of these wire harnesses that plug underneath the dash and plugs into your brake controller, you might have five or sometimes even more wires coming off of it. And you notice that your brake controller only uses four. We have got one over here, we will show you, that has just the four wires and what do you do with the extra wires? The short answer is do not worry about it, because the brake controller has all that it needs from these four wires.
To give you an idea of what is going on, most of the time these harnesses are labeled as to what color does what. So this one will say TO TRAILER ELECTRIC BRAKE. That means that this is going out to the trailer itself. So if you look on the your brake controller, it is going to be the blue wire here, so those match up together just like that. The next one is labeled GROUND, so you go to the wire harness on your brake controller and find the one that is labeled GROUND in this case it is going to be white, also. And then the next wire, here, we do not have a label because the label fell off, but this is the 12 volt power supply wire here. A lot of times the brake controllers come with a little handy card that tells you what does what on the OEM harnesses, also. The thicker wire is usually going to be your power supply. So that would go to black, the 12 volt power supply wire on the brake controller.
Then you have the two wires left, the green and the brown. The green is labeled STOP LAMP, so that will go to the stop lamp circuit on your brake controller, which in our case will be red. And then you have the extra wire here, which is labeled ILLUMINATION FEED. Basically, this comes on when you turn on your running lights. So if you have something you need to power on the inside of your vehicle, for running lights you could possibly use this. But for towing purposes, I do not really know really what you could use this for no brake controller ever uses this. So basically all you do is just fold it back out of the way, tape it up so it doesnt short out against anything, and do not worry about it.
Ask the Experts about this Brake Controller
Do you have a question about this Brake Controller?
- Tekonsha Powertrac 2-4 Electric Brake Controller on a 2007 Chevy Tahoe
- Yes, your brake controller can be installed on your 2007 Chevy Tahoe. As long as the controller is functioning properly, it will wire the same as any other brake controller. There is no plug present under the dash, but the wires are already there. You only need to splice the brake control wires together with those already present under the dash. These wires are tied up with white tape to the left of the brake pedal. You need to connect 4 wires to the controller, as follows; red (12v power feed)

- If you are looking for a brake controller harness, there are none available for the 2001 Toyota Tundra. The 2001 Tundra did not have factory tow packages as an option, so a brake controller will have to be hard wired into the vehicle.
You will need part # ETBC7 to create a 7 way plug at the rear of the truck. I will include a video on this kit. You will also need to install a 4 way connector. Toyota put the provision in for this so you will need part # 118378.

- The brake controllers available now either are only on when they are activated, or a have a timed shut-off or idle state after a certain time period. Some of the older brake controllers never shut-off, but they did not drain battery power as the only component that would be on is a low amperage LED indicating that the controller has power or whether or not it was connected to a trailer.
As long as you have a healthy battery, you should not have a problem. Since your car is only 2 maybe 3 year

- There are a number of factors to address if you feel that the trailer brakes on your camper are not performing to expectations. The first thing I would check is the mounting and leveling of the brake controller. The Prodigy must be mounted from 0 degrees to 70 degrees nose up but cannot be mounted canted to the right or left. Once mounted correctly the Prodigy, item # 90185, will acquire the level setting and you will need to adjust the power. If you have the power set to full and the trailer br

- I spoke with my co-worker, Bob, about this for some time this morning. We are both thinking you have a ground issue somewhere or possibly a short. Between the trailer brakes and the brake controller there are several grounds that need to be checked. I will start at the top and work down one by one till we can find the source of the problem. Some of this may be redundant so bear with me.
I assume you mean that the green light does not come on when the truck is on and the trailer is connected.

- There should not be 12 volts coming out of your ground terminal (7:00) on your vehicle connector. That sounds like where your problem is located. It sounds as if the 12 volt accessory that should be in the 2:00 position of your connector has been mistakenly wired to your ground circuit.
I attached a picture of how the connector on your tow vehicle should be wired by function for you to check out. I also attached an FAQ page on trailer wiring that you might find helpful.

- I spoke with my contact at Tekonsha about the Powertrac Brake Controller, # 39523. She stated that if the testing you are doing is with the vehicle and trailer parked, when you step on the brake or use the manual override, the output will go to the preset limit, but then, since the voltage is not needed, it will fade out. When moving the voltage will stay applied.
She also suggested testing the blue output wire using a test light like # 3808 while stepping on the brake. Having the testing lig

- The first thing I reocmmend is to connect a trailer to the vehicle. The light will not come on if a trailer is not connected. If you do connect a trailer and the light does not come on it could indicate a few different issues.
First, check the black wire behind the controller for voltage. If there is no voltage going to the controller it will not turn on. You will need to check the fuses associated with the tow package to determine if something is blown or missing.

The difference is that the 3015-P will plug directly into the back of the P-3 controller, while the 20264 would need to be spliced into the bare leads that exit the rear of the controller. The adapter would plug into the junction box under the dash, like you saw in the video. The controller must be mounted within driver reach, and according to the manufacturer recommendations.
