Tow-Pro Liberty Operation
The dash-mounted knob puts control of your trailer's brakes at your fingertips. In addition to offering fast, simple power adjustment and an easily accessible manual override, it has colored LED signals that let you know what the brake controller is doing at a glance.
When you are calibrating the brake controller for the first time, the LED lights will signal your progress. To finish setting up the device, you will need to drive your vehicle in a low-traffic area and brake 20 times or so to let the unit learn its orientation and the direction of travel. If your trailer is connected, the LED light will flash green/blue as it processes the information. If there is no trailer connected, the unit will still calibrate, just without the knob lighting up. The knob will stay blue longer as the calibration process gets closer to being done. When the display turns solid blue, initial calibration is complete. The unit will remain calibrated for the next time that you tow. If recalibration is required, it will happen automatically and without LED indication.
Once the brake controller is activated, you can use the knob to set the maximum amount of power that will be applied to your trailer's brakes. Typically, this power is only readjusted when you experience changing road conditions or if you switch over from a heavy, loaded trailer to a much lighter, empty trailer, or vice versa. To get more power to your brakes, rotate the knob clockwise toward 10. To decrease the power output, rotate it counterclockwise toward 0.
When you apply the tow vehicle's brakes, the knob will change from blue to red to signal that the trailer brakes are being activated. The higher the braking power output, the deeper the red that you will see.
The Tow-Pro Liberty keeps the manual override within easy reach, great for stopping sway or controlling your trailer's momentum in emergencies. To engage the manual override, just press the control knob. This will activate the trailer's brakes and brake lights without you having to apply the brakes on your tow vehicle, perfect for limiting trailer movement while you're cruising.
Simple, Out-of-the-Way Installation
Unlike most proportional controllers on the market, the Tow-Pro Liberty has almost no mounting restrictions. It comes in 2 pieces - the main unit and the control knob. Because the only part that you need to be able to access is the control knob, the main unit can be mounted out of sight and out of the way. You don't have to worry about dinging your knee on a bulky brake controller or interfering with your vehicle's lower airbags.
The dash-mounted control knob can be installed in any convenient spot that's easy for you to see and access. This can be a blank switch panel, an open spot on your center console, or wherever there's space on your dashboard. You can pick up a universal mounting panel (331-TPSI-001 - sold separately) for a clean, from-the-factory look. Custom-fit panels are available for certain vehicles as well. Before you do any drilling, be sure there's room behind the dash for the entire knob to install, including the part you don't see!
Once you've decided where you want to put the control knob, you'll need to find a good place to install the main unit. Your only restriction is the 3' plug-in cable that has to be able to reach between both the main unit and the control knob. Securely mount the box using screws, double-sided tape, or zip-ties (not included). A mounting kit (RE67FR - sold separately) is also available for the Tow-Pro Liberty. Do not zip-tie the box to wiring or cables that can shift as you drive.
A vehicle-specific wiring harness is available for most newer trucks and SUVs. One end of the custom adapter plugs into your vehicle, and the other end either plugs directly into the controller or will splice to the wiring harness - no need to hardwire to your vehicle. If a custom brake control wiring adapter is not available for your vehicle, you will need a universal wiring harness (RED69FR - sold separately). A 30-amp circuit breaker kit (331-CBK30-EB - sold separately) may also be required for installation.
For assistance in properly wiring the Tow-Pro Liberty, please refer to the diagrams below:

Proportional Braking
The Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller comes equipped with proportional braking to give you the best towing experience. Proportional braking means that your trailer brakes mimic your tow vehicle's brakes. If you slam on the brakes in your vehicle, your trailer brakes will activate with the same intensity; if you brake lightly, your trailer brakes lightly too. The trailer's braking is in proportion to your vehicle's braking. This saves wear and tear on the tires and the brakes on both your vehicle and trailer.
The Tow-Pro Liberty uses an internal 3-axis accelerometer to sense how your vehicle is braking so it can send the right amount of braking power to your trailer. It measures the inertia of your tow vehicle and activates the trailer's brakes to slow at the same rate. The result is uniform braking across your towing setup. No push-pull action - just smooth, proportional braking every time.
Is this right for you? Product Expert Kathleen M says:
Yes, if you:
Like the look of your vehicle’s interior and don’t want to ruin it with a clunky brake controller
Have heard good things about the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite but usually stick to the main roads
No, if you:
Are intimidated by pulling panels or drilling into your interior to get this installed
Rely on the manual override to feather the brakes if you need to reduce sway or if someone cuts you off
Want to see your braking status at a glance - this one can be easy to miss

The hardest part was getting the zip ties tightened around the module without completely removing the trim under the steering wheel. I chose near the shifter for my location so it’s easy to reach but still out of the way.1563486
This thing is so much better than the old controller I used to use. I like that it lets the break off after you stop moving even if you have your foot on the petal. Smooth breaking response all together. Plus, I was able to install the knob in an unused switch blank in my 2020 Pilot. You do have to be a little crafty to get it to fit there but it is possible.1336844
I was surprised how nice this brake controller is - clean install with the unit up under the dash. I installed the knob in one of the 'blanks' in the dash for a really clean look. No banging knees on older-style controllers under the dash. Thanks!1337698
Installed this in my 4runner that I use to haul several thousand pounds of metal boxes on an aluminum heavy variant tilt deck trailer. Install was fast and easy, the main unit is small and is easily tucked up under the dash. I drilled one small hole and placed the small lighted selector (small blue light) on the key side of the steering wheel area (see pics) and looks like it came factory from the truck. Its sasy to adjust and robust enough that it wont move settings on its own, even in rough off road conditions that a 2WD vehicle cant go. Ive had other controllers in the past but am super happy that I had lucked out and found this proportional one from Redrac with the dash knob.1738061
The controller looks and works great. The colors are very easy to see what the controller is doing. No led colors are displayed when there is not a trailer plug in, so it almost disappears on the dash. Reason I only gave 4 stars out of 5, like others said, the universal harness should have come with it like it does with the Elite. My truck is older so I needed the universal harness. You should only have to buy one if it is a direct plug and play for newer trucks.1572704
This review includes the following items: Item #RED69FR - Wiring Harness, 30A Breaker kit and Item # ETBC7 Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller - 7-Way RV and 4-Way Flat and Item #RED24FR Controller. I wanted to be sure I had everything. A local place Custom Coach on Pulaski Hwy, Baltimore did a fantastic job on the install, Sorry I can't remember the techs name. I have a 2018 Kia Sorento SX V6, AWD with 4 pin Tow Pkg. car rated for 5k/500# load. Trailer is a 2022 Palomino Real Lite RL-186. I've logged 2 trips so far 1 to NYS mostly highway and to Cass, West Virginia area. The controller adapted quickly, I went to a '5' to a '4' setting even in the mountains it was smooth no jerking. The one picture shows installation ubder the dash totally out of the way. It works great!1640009
Very clean option for a proportional trailer brake controller. Nothing to knock your knees on and easy to access for extra braking as I mounted it in the dash of my E350.1560471
Install was quick and easy. The only thing that gave me grief was that darn "Trailer Brake Warning Fault" message that kept displaying on my message information display on dash. After troubleshooting for several days and calling etrailer for assistance with no solution, I tried calling Redarc with the included state-side tech support. The number puts you in touch with an Ausie down under so you have to adjust your call with thier time zone. Turns out, and VERY IMPORTANT,if you are replacing an OEM Trailer Brake Controller already installed in truck. The TBC Controller Brake Module has to be deactivated to make the fault go away. Truck still think it has a TBC and is looking for it. I used Forscan software to deactivated it through the OBDII port.
I love the features of the RedArc Tow Pro Liberty and its ease of use..1518679
I haven't had the opportunity to install this brake controller yet, but so far I like what I see. Especially the small profile of the controller and the dash knob. I bought this to tow a 17' Casita travel trailer. I am just waiting on the 7-pin tow harness from Hyundai before I can put it all together. The instructions indicate that all of the connections are plug and play, so I anticipate a pretty straightforward install.1538928

Installation went just like the video. I needed a break controller on my 4Runner, but didn't like the look or placement of a "stranded" break controller. Redarc Tow-Pro fit and look, or lack of look that I was Looking for. On my 4Runner I did move the factory switch placements around so the searing wheel didn't block my view of the break controler.1544277

Relatively easy install. I think it would be good if you would update the kit to include a 1 amp diode and instructions to install it. This is to prevent backfeed of electric current from brake controller which causes error issues on the 2018 Toyota Highlander.1553740
by: C White05/02/2023
Great product, shipped fast and I could not be happier with the "from the factory" appearance of the installation. I painted the embossed letters in the switch mounting plate so it would match the other switches. The brake controller works well and it really looks great.1568999
Works great and is out of the way. Just find a place under the dash that is secure and bolt or plastic wire tie it in. I had to buy the universal wiring harness also so I could wire it to my 7 pole. You would think it would come with one but I’m guessing there are many types of wiring for each vehicle manufacturer.1532243
Simple to install. Worked smoothly and is as aggressive as you need. No more knee banger. Unit installed easily out of sight. Control is easy to access on the dash. The Adapter for the blank switch cover is a must for a clean installation on the Toyota Highlander.1555385
Clean install. I really like these Redarc controllers. 2021 Nissan NV 3500 Passenger. etrailer kit with controller and wiring adaptor was just the thing. Under dash drill access for mounting the module isn’t ideal, but doable. Great kit and great price. Looks great1690597
I love this brake controller. I put it in my brand new 2023 Silverado 1500. It looks factory the way I installed it. No big bulky controller hanging under the dash. Would highly recommend.1531578
Expedited shipping was super fast with no problems. I installed the unit myself and it was fairly simple. I recommend getting the exact fitting wire harness (huge time saver) and I’d recommend getting and exact fit knock out to install the dial in. (Another big time saver). I drilled a hole in my own blank or knock out thingy and I’m pleased with it but it took a little time. I’ve got a 2010 Honda Pilot. Funny thing, after rushing to install the brake controller, our trailer had to go in for repairs before we even completed the transaction. It will be another month before I actually use the brake controller.1097646
The install was straight forward. Being my second time I was able to install the controller easily and without much complication. I have both a Nissa Pathfinder and Armada, which made the installation easier since both models are similar. The product responds well, still trying to dial in the perfect breaking level.1769957

Like the way the main unit is hidden from view. The control knob looks original equipment. Found a place just in front of the gear lever to mount the main unit. Using one original screw and one self tapping. I mounted the control dial adjacent to it. Easy to see and very close to where my right hand rests on the steering wheel. I docked one star because I had to lengthen the 'plug and play' harness by six inches.1624402
The Redarc controller was very easy to install in my 2017 Honda Ridgeline truck. In fact, it was so easy that I wasn't certain that I had installed it correctly because it didn't light up to acknowledge that it was indeed working. After reviewing the instructions, again, I realized that it was noted that there may not be any lights acknowledging proper install when a trailer wasn't attached but it would go through the setup procedure. When I went to pickup my new tractor and trailer, it lit up and worked like a charm.1475148
Install took about an hour and a half. I have big hands that didn't play well with the room under the dash. The controller didn't go into setup mode until I hooked up the trailer and drove around. Other than that so far so good.1750866
Clean install. I really like these Redarc controllers. 2021 Nissan NV 3500 Passenger. etrailer kit with controller and wiring adaptor was just the thing. Under dash drill access for mounting the module isn’t ideal, but doable. Great kit and great price. Looks great1690596
I purchased the Redarc Liberty for a new Honda Ridgeline which replaced an F250 with an old technology two dial proportional brake controller. This Redarc not only installed easily and cleanly in the more confined cabin of the Honda, its advanced one dial adjustment makes it more user friendly to adjust, and the settings are easily repeatable. For example, my trailer empty on hardtop gets 4, trailer with tractor 5.5, trailer with 1 yard of gravel a 6.5; on a dirt or gravel road just subtract 1 position on the knob.
The photos reflect my mounting technique which consisted of constructing a small open-back box of 1/4" MDF. The Universal Mounting Panel accessory worked well with the MDF. A coating of textured paint to match the interior makes it look almost OEM. Velcro holds the box securely yet allows for easy removal for whatever reason. The wire tucks neatly between the lower steering wheel valance and the console trim--can't see it even if looking for it, and no holes drilled in the dash.
Overall very happy with this product and with etrailer answering my questions and processing the order quickly.1430418
etrailer is an excellent e-commerce store that has great products and fantastic employees that are always willing to help. The photos and videos are super helpful.1593628
To install the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty # RED24FR in your 2021 Ram 1500 Big Horn you will need the Plug-in Adapter # 331-TPH-020.
The # 331-TPH-020 will plug in to the factory trailer brake controller port underneath the dash of your truck and then into the Liberty # RED24FR. This will be the only wiring connection you will need to make.

The Redarc Tow Pro Liberty part # RED24FR can install in your 2017 Chevy Express Van 2500 with the universal install harness # RED69FR.
Your vehicle has the blue output brake wire already ran from the back to the front. It is located under the dash near the emergency brake pedal.
If your vehicle has a round plug with a cap inside the driver's side frame rail instead of a bundle of wires in the jack storage compartment, use part # 30955 to add the 7-way. view full answer...
The Chevrolet Express Vans all have the four brake controller wires under the dash but the issue with these which I have run into many times is that they aren't always active. If they aren't active you will have to do a full hardwire. That said, if you have the factory four and seven way connector they likely are active. Regardless of this I like the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller part # RED24FR and part # RED69FR which I have attached my review video of below.

The best place to find the stoplight circuit on a vehicle like your 2020 Subaru Outback is going to be at the brake pedal switch. You'll need to use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to test all of the wires till you find the circuit that only has voltage when pedal is pressed. This will be the circuit to install the Redarc Encapsulated Power Diode # RED34FR onto when you install the Redarc Tow Pro Liberty # RED24FR. view full answer...
Since everything else is working on your Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED24FR there may be a problem with the light pipe on the control knob. there is a 90 degree light pipe which is what brings the light up and out through the button.
If this is no longer in the correct position then it can definitely cause the light to be extremely dim, possibly to a point where you can't see it. If you look at the top of the button there is a small clear piece of plastic protruding from view full answer...

A trailer brake controller like the Redarc # RED24FR Tow-Pro Liberty is intended to actuate trailer brakes, not the brakes of a towed vehicle. This being said, we DO offer braking solutions for flat towing a vehicle.
For a vehicle being flat towed behind a motorhome, you'll need to use a supplemental braking system that's specifically designed to actuate the brake pedal in your towed vehicle.
Supplemental braking systems are available as portable models, like the # HM39494 Brake Buddy view full answer...
To access the connector for the Plug-and-Play Wiring Harness # RED99FR you will need to remove the door sill plate along with the left kick panel in the drivers compartment. Once you remove the kick panel the connector is located behind the large white junction block. This connector will be by itself not plugged into anything. The harness also requires connecting to the ground screw which you will find close to the door on the side panel. This will allow you to plug in the Redarc Tow-Pro view full answer...
To complete the installation of the # RED24FR you need to find the cold side of the stop light switch. It will require using a circuit tester like the # PTW2993. This will be the wire that only has power when the brake pedal is pressed. Running an additional wire will not be necessary. view full answer...
Yes, if you are going to install the Mopar Brake Controller Kit on your 2019 Ram 1500 you will need to have the computer flashed to be able to use the factory controller.

All electric trailer brake controller require a circuit breaker or fuse be installed between the battery and the brake controller. Since your Tacoma is outfitted with a factory towing package, this breaker or fuse will already be installed inline with the power wire ran to brake controller plug located under your dash.
You will not need to purchase or install any additional breakers or fuses since your truck has the factory tow package.
Of the options you mentioned, I really like view full answer...
Since your 2008 Ford E-350 has a factory 7-way all you would need to install a brake controller like the Redarc Tow Pro Liberty part # RED24FR is the install harness part # RED87FR. I also really like the Redarc controllers for the reason you mentioned as it only puts a very small knob on the dash of the vehicle and because the controller uses an inertia sensor to decide how hard to apply the trailer brakes. The Liberty is the way to go too since you get that style of controller without view full answer...

According to Nissan, the only real difference between the Canadian Frontier and the American Frontier is the shift on the fly 4 wheel drive system with 2WD/4Hl/4LO models, which won't affect whether the Plug-and-Play Wiring Harness for Redarc Tow-Pro Trailer Brake Controllers # RED39FR will work with your truck or not.
So yes, this wiring harness will work just fine with your Frontier.

Like you mentioned, there is not a specific mounting panel for the 2015 Nissan Pathfinder for the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller # RED44FR.
So there isn't a separate panel available that I can recommend for use, which means the best option for your Pathfinder is to use the universal panel that comes the brake controller.

Yes, all of items you mentioned are correct for your 2015 Toyota 4Runner. The Redarc Tow Pro Elite part # RED44FR installs with the part # RED49FR to the factory wiring of your vehicle and the control knob insert part # 331-TPSI-002 is also a confirmed fit for a place to mount the knob. view full answer...
To fix a short circuit on your Plug-and-Play Wiring Harness for Redarc Tow-Pro Trailer Brake Controllers # RED39FR you'll need to look for any wires that appear to be broken or damaged as this is what would likely cause the wiring to short.
Then I recommend checking the 12-volt black power wire to see if anywhere from the controller to the battery the wire is frayed and touching any metal. It also wouldn't hurt checking to make sure the white ground wire is grounded correctly and not view full answer...
Hey Josh, since you're using a plug and play harness # RED39FR there shouldn't be a whole lot of riff raff to use it so the only thing I can think of is that either you have a faulty harness or that there is a blown fuse somewhere that needs to be replaced.
You'd need to consult your owner's manual for a fuse diagram and look for anything relating to towing and check the fuses. There's also a chance that the fuse itself was never put in, so I'd keep my eye out for that as well. view full answer...
The Redarc instructions for the Plug-and-Play Wiring Harness # RED39FR you purchased only lists through 2019 because they haven't updated the instructions as of yet, but the adapter will fit your 2023 Nissan Frontier and allow you to install the Tow-Pro Liberty # RED24FR. view full answer...
Yes, the Redarc brake controller install harness part # RED39FR does fit your 2023 Nissan Frontier without the towing package and would be what you would need to install a brake controller like the Redarc Tow Pro Liberty part # RED24FR. view full answer...
The biggest difference between the two Redarc brake controllers is that the Tow-Pro Elite # RED44FR has a proportional control and user controlled mode you can switch between, while the Tow-Pro Liberty # RED24FR has just the proportional mode.
The proportional mode is for everyday, normal towing - your trailer brakes will activate at the intensity which you decelerate, and gives them the appropriate power for that deceleration. User controlled mode applies the same amount of braking view full answer...
