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 6-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.

Video Transcript for Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 2011 Nissan Pathfinder

Today in this 2011 Nissan Pathfinder we're going to install part number 39510 from Tekonsha. This isthe Voyager trailer brake controller.This vehicles already been equipped with a 4-pole wiring packaging from the factory. To add ourbrake controller and connector, we're basically going to just fill in the blanks. We're going to start offunderneath the dash. We're going to locate the tow package port underneath the dashboard whichis going to be just right of the steering wheel, behind the dash, and also a little bit above thediagnostic port.We'll go ahead and take the adapter cord and plug it into the brake controller, and then we'll goahead and plug it into the port underneath the dash. The part number for our adapter cord will be3050-P.

With all the brake controller wires plugged together, we'll go ahead and add the bracket tothe dashboard underneath. We're going to locate it next to the diagnostic port, just a little bit to theleft of it. We'll use two screws to attach the bracket to the dashboard.Next we'll pre-drill the holes in our brake controller to accept the hardware; we'll install the brakecontroller to your bracket using four more screws; and then we'll go ahead and take a moment to ziptie our wires and make sure they're safe and out of the way. Then we can go to the back of thevehicle. Thats where we're going to go ahead and add our 7-pole connector to the back of thevehicle.

Thats going to be part number 37185. We're going to take the bracket and hold it to thebottom of the hitch. Theres an existing weld nut we're going to use to fasten it to the hitch. We'llhold it up there, make a mark on the bracket, and then we'll go ahead and drill it out to a 3/8 hole.We'll take our bracket back to the vehicle and attach it to the hitch, using an 8 mm bolt, the 1.25thread hitch; then we'll go and add our 7-pole connector. On the 4-pole end of it we're going toapply some dielectric grease and then attach it to the factory 4-pole.

We're going to run a zip tiethrough the wires to make it a semi-permanent connection. We'll take a moment to tape up ourwires and also add our loom material to help protect some of the wires and make it look nice.At this point we'll go ahead and connect the 7-pole to the bracket, and then we're going to add alength of wire to it about 3 or 4, part number 10-2-1. We'll cut the sheath back and we'll have ablack and a white wire. We'll run our black wire to the black wire on the 7-pole connector and ourwhite wire to the blue wire on 7-pole connector. We'll crimp those down and then use some tape tohelp protect them.There are two remaining wires left.

Therell be a white wire for the ring terminal and a purple wirefor the buck connector. We're going to tape those two wires to our grey cable, and we'll run thosewires along with the grey cable. Now we're going to route our cables over to the end of the towpackage which is located next to the spare tire. We'll measure a length of a grey duplex cable weneed and cut the excess off; then we'll strip back to the sheath of the grey cable, exposing the wireswe'll need later. Then we can take the white wire with your ring terminal and ground it to the frame.The self-tapping screw we'll be using will be part number SA1131822.We're going to look for a connector thats at the end of our tow package. We've got a smallconnector with two wires going to it. There will be a brown wire and a purple wire going to it. Now,we dont have a connector to match that, so well rotate the connector and remove it from thewires; then we'll go ahead and crimp our wires from our grey cable to those two wires. We'll use abuck connector to make those connections. Our part number for our buck connectors we'll be usingwill be part number 05732-2.We're going to connect this as follows. Our white wire which will be our brake controller output isgoing to connect up to the brown wire; and then our other wire, a black wire, will connect up to thepurple wire. Thatll be our 12 volt power supply. We'll go ahead and tape up our connections and ziptie our wires safe and out of the way.All our connections are done at the back of the vehicle; now we'll go underneath the hood and wehave to add one relay to power our 12 volt power supply. Theres a relay box closest to the battery.We'll remove the lid and you'll see that theres two relays already installed, and therell be an opensocket for an additional relay. We'll install the relay for our 12 volt power supply, and thats going tobe part number V38937-1.With all of our connections made, we'll go ahead and test out the brake controller. We'll plug atrailer into it and you'll see that the LED on top will turn from off to a green color; and then we'll usethe manual override. You'll see that goes from a green, to a yellow, to a red that shows the manualoutput works. Now we'll go ahead and try the foot brake. We have to make the level in the brakecontroller a little bit more aggressive, so we can see it work. Push down the brake pedal and you cansee that turns from a green to an orange.And with that, thatll finish it for our install of our Voyager brake controller on our 2011 NissanPathfinder.

  • Availability of Brake Controller Harness for 2001 Toyota Tundra
  • 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. Once you have these parts in

  • Will a Brake Controller Draw Enough Power When Not in Use To Drain a Car Battery
  • 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

  • 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.

It is the power gain setting and should be adjusted so the trailer brakes are close to but do not lock up, with each different load on the trailer.

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.

  • Troubleshooting Fading Brake Output with Tekonsha Powertrac Trailer Brake Controller # 39523
  • 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

  • Using Wire for Bed Cap 3rd Brake Light Instead of Brake Stoplight Switch to Install Brake Controller
  • As long as you have verified that the wire in question only goes hot when the brake pedal is applied, there is no reason why you cannot use the wire intended for the bed cap third brake light. If you do not have a circuit tester, we offer one, part # 3808. Certain vehicles (like GM trucks produced in the late 1990s) had brake switch wiring that was very difficult to access.

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.

Just got done installing this brake controller on my 2011 Tucson. It was a whole lot more difficult than everyone says. It was not the product; very nice unit which installed nicely under the dash. The unit only has 4 leads, 3 of which were no issue. All 4 wires had to be extended (understandably). 3 out of the 4 snaked nicely into the engine compartment. I just widened the existing wiring thru grommet going thru and these 3 slid right thru. Black (Hot), White (Ground) and Blue (Output to trailer brakes). What was the bear was the Red lead which connects to the output side of the brake light switch. When I crawled under dash I could not even see this switch. I could only feel it let allone conect a wire to it. The only alternitive I had was to slice the main harness open (still very hard to get at) and then 1 by 1 find out which of the 40 wires had feed when the pedal was depressed. Once I found this, it was still incredibally hard to get a splice on this 1 lone wire. This is not the products fault; it is just the way they engineer cars these days. All in all the product is great! Gary H.67561

The brake controller was very easy to install, especially with the wiring harness that fit my Ford. It only took ten minutes and when I tried it out it worked perfect. I will always go back to etrailer.com for all my trailer needs. Thanks for everything!! Cory33374

I ordered this brake controller for a 2003 Nissan Pathfinder with Universal Installation Kit. Not an easy job since theres no factory harness to plug the controller into. As others have said in the reviews the hardest wire to connect it the red one since it connects to the cold side of the brake pedal switch.There is literally an inch of space and little to no slack on the brake wire plugWhich is the black one on the right with 3 green wires with stripes and a red wire. . The brown plug is the shifter release switch. This was the hardest part of the whole install. The wire and plug was nearly impossible to get to or see. I had to lay on my back and twist sideways with a utility light next to my head shining under the dash. I cut my hand up pretty good getting the white plug disconnected from the black brake switch before I tapped it. The lock on the plug is above the steering wheel shaft so you cant see it or get pliers on it. I had to do it by feel and press with all my might with my right hand and pull the plug out with my left. The wires are covered by black rubber sheath which you have to slit back to the harness before you can tap it.The wire you want to tap on a 2003 Nissan Pathfinder is the GREEN wire with a YELLOW stripe. Once I tapped into that wire I double checked by unplugging the harness from the brake controller and using the LED tester. I clipped it to the metal surrounding the brake pedal, pushed the probe end into the red wire connector on the harness and pumped the brake pedal and the LED lit up!! So I knew I was successful.The rest was easy running wires to the battery and the connector on the back. The other small problem was the 10 gauge duplex wire included with the universal installation kit was literally a few feet short to reach the battery so I had to buy a roll of black 10 gauge at the auto parts store to complete the installation.Ill let you know how it works with the Pontoon Trailer!

The control works great. Nice incremental application of wheel from nothing to hard on! Led light goes from green to red also in incremental degrees. Installation was a snap in my 2008 F150 with tow package. Just Plug in the control clip and the other end in the terminal above and to the right of the computer check terminal. Rather than have it below my dash I opted for the cove below the lighter. Etrailer did a nice job of getting out to me right away and kept me informed where this was at all the way to my door. Good Job!79780

This brake controller is all you will need. Save your money. For a tent camper or a horse trailer it works flawlessly. Once adjusted you can forget the trailer is back there. The trailer doesn't push your truck at all. 51427

The controler did not work, no matter how I tryed to hook up the hot end of it. Also the adapter is NOT the same as the one that came with the truck. I talked with a person at etrailer and she was very helpful trying to get the information I needed. The people at etrailer are very helpful I just picked the wrong products.49655
