Tow-Pro Elite 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 Elite 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.
User-Controlled Mode
The Redarc Tow-Pro Elite comes with a unique feature that lets you respond to any terrain or weather you meet while on the road. The user-controlled mode gives you direct control over your trailer's braking so you can have exactly the level of power output you need for any situation - perfect for off-roading or adverse weather conditions. In this mode, the Tow-Pro Elite will apply your trailer's brakes with the same preset amount of power each time you activate the brakes in your vehicle. Set the power low if you're towing through sand or mud so that the trailer doesn't stop with too much force and act as an anchor. When on a steep descent, set the power to a higher level to ensure that the trailer's momentum doesn't cause it to push against the tow vehicle.
To turn on the user-controlled braking mode, rotate the knob counterclockwise and apply your vehicle's brakes. Push down on the remote knob twice (2 times within 1 second) and release the brakes. The knob will turn green to let you know that the mode has been activated.
Simple, Out-of-the-Way Installation
Unlike most proportional controllers on the market, the Tow-Pro Elite 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 having something in your cab that can interfere 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. A universal mounting panel is included to ensure 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 Elite. 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 will either plug directly into the controller or will splice into the included 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.

Proportional Braking
The Redarc Tow-Pro Elite 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 Elite 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:
Tow a trailer through all kinds of weather and terrain, even venturing off-road, and need to have direct control over your trailer's brakes
Like the look of your vehicle’s interior and don’t want to ruin it with a clunky brake controller
No, if you:
Are intimidated by pulling panels or drilling into your interior to get this installed
Want to see your braking status at a glance – this one can be easy to miss
Prefer the slide-style manual override to give you more intuitive control
Tekonsha Custom Wiring Adapter for Trailer Brake Controllers - Pigtail - GM part number: 3015-S
Streamline the installation of your trailer brake controller with this custom adapter. Simply connect the wires of the harness to your brake controller and then plug the other end into the junction box beneath your vehicle's dash.
Features:
Pigtail wiring adapter eases installation of your electric trailer brake controller
Connector end plugs into the built-in port beneath the dash of your vehicle
Wire end connects to the wires on your brake controller with the included butt connectors
Compatible with time-delayed and proportional brake controllers from TrailerMate, Draw-Tite, and Tekonsha
Limited 1-year warranty
Installation of Tekonsha Brake Controller Adapter
To install your electric brake controller, you need to connect the wiring of the controller to your vehicle. Certain auto manufacturers offer pre-wired options, typically known as tow packages, wherein wiring is run for you from the dash to the trailer connector on the back of your vehicle. When this is done, a port is installed at your dash so that you can easily plug in a brake controller.
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 hook this adapter up to your trailer brake controller, just connect the 4 wires of the harness - ground, power, brake switch, and brake power - to the corresponding wires on the brake controller. If your brake controller came with a plug built into its wiring harness, you will have to cut off the plug and connect to the wires themselves.

2002 Chevrolet Silverado
I saw the great online reviews of this controller and took the plunge. I bought my 2002 Chevy Silverado K1500 extended cab short bed truck new in 2001. It came with the HD Towing package which include a factory plug in trailer brake wiring loom. I took my time over a 2 day period to carefully install and triple check my install. The Chevy and Redarc wiring wiring descriptions made it easy to join the two harnesses. I used HD crimped plug in connectors further protected with shrank tubing. All wiring was bundled with zip ties after encasing in HD harness protective cover. Zip ties held in place behind the removable panel beneath the steering wheel. The control button is installed on the right side of the steering column within easy reach. Nice install. I read that the light would not go on until a trailer was hooking up. I was elated when we picked up our new cargo trailer and the controller knob light lit up upon hitching up. the first mile of travel allowed easy testing of the system and fine tuning came a few miles further down the road. GREAT PRODUCT!1315286

2020 Ford Ranger
It truly amazes me that Ford touts the towing capacity of my Ranger, yet not one dealership I called could offer a solution for a trailer brake controller to be able to pull my little camper. I finally turned to etrailer since they had helped me meet my towing needs in the past with a different vehicle. etrailer's Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller was a perfect solution! They also supplied a terrific video explaining in great detail how to install it in my truck. I preferred the in-dash location using one of the extra twelve volt ports using the optional round adapter insert and found it to be very convenient after a summer of towing. Highly recommend both Redarc Tow-Pro Elite and etrailer!1283092
Love the self-calibration and hidden controller. Great space saver and works as described. I did find the knob location in your video not very good; I could not see it through the steering wheel when driving. As you can see from the picture it is now visible from the driver's seat and easy to adjust when needed. Also, in this location the only hole I had to drill was 3/16" behind the knob and not visible or damaging. I was able to use the knob bracket that came in the kit and just push it into place, very stable.1286338
So far it is anazing! I installed it splicing with the gm wiring harness, and put the box under my console, with the knob in one of the accessory port holes using the knob adapter. The controller calibrated quickly, and works great once you get the gain set correctly. The ONLY thing I don't care for is that the unit stays powered up, so the led stay lit while a trailer is hooked up. I guess it doesn't drain battery much, but I don't care for anything draining my battery, no matter how small.1496197

I installed this on my 2009 Dodge RAM 1500. It replaced the other one I had. This was a challenge to install because of where I had to mount it under the dash. But it was also wired a little different. The former controller had the positive (red) and negative (black) wires reversed from this Redarc controller. When I installed the Redarc the way the other controller was wired the brake lights wouldn't work. Once I got them put right for the Redarc it is working right.1719553
Superb controller and outstanding service from both etrailer and Redarc. I had some questions concerning the controller interfering with the advanced braking/collision avoidance in my Tacoma, as I had read about. I emailed Redarc in Australia and they promptly answered and even scheduled a phone call! I had a good conversation with them and it turns that that issue does not apply to my vehicle. So I give Redarc 5 stars at least for service. The controller itself is easy to install after watching the video. I would definitely buy the vehicle specific wiring to avoiding splicing. The bracket also made it very easy. I just used it on a long drive pulling a travel trailer. Works great. Some trial and error is all that’s needed to adjust the amount of braking.
I installed it in the center console so it would be easy to reach in case of sway. It also looks like it came from the Toyota factory this way. No ugly box hanging below to hit your knee.
Overall absolutely great device.
I highly recommend both the Redarc Elite and etrailer.1466142
Works very well and easy to install. I put it in my 2019 Ford Ranger and it works very well. I rarely tow so didn't need the model with more involved installation. I just shut off vehicle auto braking and cruise following which I don't ever use anyway.
Factory wiring harness is right up under the dash and this plugged right in easily.1768170

Nissan Pathfinder
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.1769962
by: John03/10/2024
I have not used it yet. But i did want to know if i could use it on a small open motorcycle trailer. If i have it on for the lights, will it still effect the braking if i turn the dial to "0" on the dash? Thank you! But I can tell you, very easy to install.1745525

The Redark trailer brake controller installed easily. In my 2020 Toyota 4Runner. It looks like it came installed from the factory. It’s small and easy to reach when driving. It came with a plastic install panel. This is designed for installing in a hole that you drill in your dash. It will not fit in a knock out space in your dash. There is one that fits the dash perfectly that you can buy from etrailer. etrailer automatically bundled the Redark trailer brake controller with the correct plug and play wiring harness for my vehicle. It was nice not to have to search for the wire harness. Everything installed perfectly. I haven’t tested the function of the brake controller yet. I’ll hook up to a trailer this week. The items arrived in less than a week and the package was in good condition. The order tracking worked great. The tech videos on the etrailer website were really helpful. I’ll purchase from hem again.997227
Super easy install, save even more time with the plug and play harness. Lean install- only thing you see is the adjustment know- no bulky box in the way.1562067
Easy installation and good instructions. I am extremely pleased with this product. It works very well and have had no issues. I am pulling a hard side camper and close to max weight for my truck and this brake controller is spot on. I like the ease of changing the setting on steep hills as needed. A little hard to pick up on the color change in the daylight when braking but a minor shift of vision corrects this issue. I definitely would recommend this controller to anyone else . The salesman was most helpful in getting me set up. If a grade of 10 is the best then I give the company, salesman and this product a 10. Thank you Gene1751032

2017 Nissan Titan
I’m going to be up front and say I have not tested this beside driving around town. The install was very quick, maybe 20 minutes in all initially in my 2017 Nissan Titan SV. I do have some concerns though. After install I had no lights to show calibration was going on. From reading the user manual I guess that can happen. First time hooking up the trailer everything seemed fine and the light was blue as it should. Once I turned my running lights on though it began to blink red showing a fault with the cable. I tested everything to make sure it was getting voltage and the wires were correct. After about an hour I found something between my backup camera on the travel trailer and the brake was causing some sort of issue. I removed the camera, unplugged all the cables from the tow pro elite and hooked it back up. Once plugged back in it showed green and blue lights showing it was calibrating. I drove the trailer around town and our relief route. After about half an hour the light turned solid blue. The control is easy to use and looks very nice. I’m unable to get it to switch to user control mode but the proportional and manual brakes works fine. I will update my review after we take it out on a few trips. As of now it seems like a great product, very clean looking and should do a great job.1041537
Although this product cost me $250 plus another $750 to install which including having to buy an additional part (because not everything that you need comes with it), I'm extremely pleased with it. Proportional braking is the only way to go. In addition, do not buy wireless brake controllers. Why? Something happens with your phone and then what? You have no brakes! In addition, you don't have to play around with the dial. Redarc Tow-Pro automatically calibrates the brake pressure. Both my suv and trailer stop in unison, so much so I don't even feel the trailer as a separate unit. Redarc remembers, so you are not recalibrating every time you hitch up your camper. Highly Recommend.1730273

I liked having the ability to place the controller in an easy to view and use location. The unit works as well as any other controller by other companies that I have used but we’re always hard to see to adjust and bang your knees while getting in or driving. Works well in my Subaru Ascent and when the time comes the old ones in the trucks will be replaced with one of these.1464339
The Redarc Tow-Pro brake controller has worked flawlessly since I installed it a year ago. I tow a fairly light (2000 pound) pop-up trailer, which can be an adjustment challenge when braking on loose surfaces. I've found it very easy to slightly reduce the setting while on gravel and then return to the correct setting when returning to normal roads.
I purchased the Redarc because I could never get my previous controller to brake smoothly - it would often jerk at low speeds. I think that controller had problems because it was inserted into the 7-pin connector that was held by a metal bracket under my bumper that I suspect vibrated when braking, which confused that controller. Once I switched to the Redarc, which is firmly mounted under the dash, I had no more problems like that.
Finding a location in my Honda Pilot to mount the control module was a challenge - but well worth the effort. I mounted it to a plastic panel that I installed over an unused cavity in the console underneath the radio (see picture). The knob is easy to reach, and is out of the way of my knees.
Mounting the main control box under the dash was made easier because I didn't have to worry about its precise orientation since it will calibrate itself wherever it sits.1320245
Installed the Redarc Tow-Pro elite in a 2022 E350 Thor motorhome. Install was straight forward. Mounted behind the brake pedal with an extended aluminum plate. etrailer was incorrect when I was told Redarc does not make a cable for this model. The available correct cable / plug for this model is the TPH-007 which is the same Ford plug that is on 3036-P. I did splice in the cable that came with the kit in order to reach the desired location. The controller fit well to the right of the steering wheel. Had to drill thru one of the panel clips which really wasn’t needed.1432946
Item works as advertized. Install was a breeze. Wow, trailer brake controllers are so much nicer than they used to be. No more big box at your knees. Just a tiny, inobtrusive knob. Very discreet. Thank you, Gwen, etrailer.com, and RedArc.1378739
This thing is absolutely fantastic. It’s very discreet. I install this in a 2015 Porsche Cayenne diesel. It was installed The discrete hole we drilled in the face of the dash. It’s easy to use, requires very little adjustment while driving. Has a convenient lighting system that changes color when voltage is applied to the trailer brakes. My only complaint is that the unit resets its memory every time I disconnect and reconnect the trailer. It’s a minor irritation but that first 15 or 20 minutes of driving after connecting the trailer again, it does have to go through the initial calibration process to figure out what direction the controller is installed. I believe that this problem is specifically related to the Volkswagen and Porsche vehicles - they “shut off” power to the controller when there is no electrical draw sensed from trailer. I’m sure there is some kind of transistor that I could install that would eliminate this problem. I recommend this unit as far superior to the old school tekonsha and others. The only difference that I will point out is that on the old-school controllers there is a kind of emergency brake slider which you can use to ramp up additional braking power if you need it in a pinch. This device does have that functionality but it is a simple on off. In other words if you find yourself in need of rapid additional braking power you push the control button in. There is no ability to “ramp up” that emergency extra power to the brakes. It adds less extra power than the traditional ones but it is proportional to the # of braking power you have on the dial. I have learned to live with it. For a European car this is sleek, discrete, way sexier than the ugly traditional unit bolted to your dash1299942
I was wanting to upgrade my trailer brake controller in my 2004 Excursion. I figured after half a million miles it was time! I have been eyeing the Redarc for some time, I finally dropped the hammer on the tow pro since I have been using a trailer off-road. Installation was a breeze,calibration was even easier. The dial fit pretty well in the old backup monitor switch location. Working fantastic thanks1731351

According to our install crew, the wiring was ran into the passenger cab using an existing grommet in the firewall. If you open the hood, on the driver's side of the firewall you'll see a rubber grommet where the main harness enters the passenger cabin from the engine compartment. Use a utility or an exacto knife to make a small slit in the grommet, and you'll be able to pass the wire through. Before slitting the grommet, be sure to look at the area around the grommet on the other side view full answer...

The main unit measures 3-3/8" long x 3-15/16" wide x 1-1/8" tall and the control knob measures 2-3/8" long x 3/4" wide x 7/8" tall. I have linked some photos with these dimensions marked so you can take some measurements view full answer...
Thanks for the photo, and though we are not familiar with what it shows, based on what you said you do have a 4-way, which is all the info we need to get you the exact parts for wiring and a brake controller.
The first thing you need is the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7, which will give you a 7-way connector, circuit breakers and the rest of the hardware needed to install a brake controller.
Then for a brake controller I highly recommend for your view full answer...
The blue and green lights on the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite # RED44FR and Liberty # RED24FR Brake Controllers flash while the brakes are being depressed until the controller confidently learns the exact orientation. Do understand if there is a bad power connection or the main control module is not secured and the orientation changes this will cause the controller to attempt to orientate itself constantly. Also if your controller loses power when the ignition is off this would cause the controller view full answer...
There is a plug and play adapter for the Redarc Tow Pro Elite part # RED44FR for your 2014 Toyota Tacoma with the parts # 3040-P and # 331-TPH-017 which wires directly to the brake controller and then plugs in under the dash. view full answer...
One of the great features of the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller # RED44FR is the versatility when it comes to mounting the control knob. Most brake controllers need to be mounted a specific way with the controls on the face of it. Since the Tow-Pro Elite has a control knob that is seperate from the actual controller unit it allows you to mount the control knob pretty much anywhere you feel like.
Although we haven't had the opportunity yet to install the control knob in view full answer...
Yes, if you already have the Prodigy brake controller and are simply wanting to move it to your 2007 Chevrolet Silverado, you will need to use the brake control wiring adapter # 3015-S.
This adapter would plug in where you indicated and will connect to the back of the brake controller.

What you are looking for is called a # 3015-S Brake Controller Wiring Adapter. The brake control wiring adapter is used to simplify the electric brake controller installation.
The 4 wires on the adapter are butt-connected to the 4 wires coming out of the electric brake controller. The harness is then plugged in to a port under the dash see photo. The port is located in the black electric junction box underneath the dashboard, to the left of the steering column and just above the carpet. view full answer...
On a 2004 Chevy Tahoe, the right turn signal/brake light fuse for the factory tow package will be labeled RT TRLR ST/TRN. It should be in the instrument panel fuse block located on the driver side in the cab. This is according to a copy of the owners manual I found online. Check your owners manual to be sure.
If you change the fuse and it does not help then there are some tests you can do to determine what might be causing the issue. Start by disconnecting the trailer from the vehicle. view full answer...
You will need the Pigtail # 3015-S to connect to your 2005 Chevrolet Suburban 2500 with the factory tow package. This will allow you to connect to the bare wires on your Tekonsha Voyager # 39510 since they most likely cut the factory connector off rather than installing the Pigtail # 20127 during the installation on your Ford F-150. If you feel it best to upgrade your controller to one like the Prodigy P3 # 90195 you will be able to use the Adapter # 3015-P so you will not have to splice view full answer...
The Tekonsha Custom Wiring Adapter # 3015-S will allow you to connect to your Tekonsha Voyager trailer brake controller only having 4 wires rather than a connector. The adapter includes butt connectors to attach to your wiring on the brake controller. view full answer...
The GMC Safari Van is not equipped with brake controller wiring connector under the dash, like the GM full size truck and SUV is.
Installing a brake controller on the Safari will require hard wiring a brake controller. We have a Brake Controller Installation Kit, item # ETBC7, that includes all of the wiring, circuit breakers and hardware needed to install a 7-Way trailer connector and a brake controller on your vehicle, as long as the factory 4-Way wiring is in place and working properly.

On certain year Chevy trucks there are additional connections that need to be made under the hood to make everything fully functional. I have included a link to an FAQ article to help you.
Make sure that you are plugging in the harness into the spot on the top row, second from the left. The Curt harness you should be using is # C51352. With the brake controller plugged into the right spot and all the under hood connections made and fuses in place the brake controller should work just fine. view full answer...
Yes. you are correct! You will connect the Tekonsha # 3015-S to the brake controller wires on your RedArc Tow Pro Elite # RED44FR matching them color for color. You can then plug the end of the adapter into the brake controller port on your 2003 Hummer H2. view full answer...
This is a very strange problem. If your 2003 Chevy Avalanche has a 7-Way trailer connector, make sure that it is pinned out correctly like in the picture I have provided by checking the pins with a circuit tester, # PTW2979, if needed. Then make sure that the trailer is wired to match the Avalanche 7-Way. Anything that does not match up could be causing the problem.
If the trailer is using a 6-Way and you have an adpater that could be the problem. There are 2 ways to wire a 6-Way, the view full answer...
The code AUX refers to auxiliary, which is auxiliary power, which should be the Dark Blue wire on your 2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer. This wire will connect to the Dark Blue wire on the brake controller and should be connected to the 7-way as the brake output wire.
The code CHMSL refers to Center High Mounted Stop Light, which is your third brake light circuit. This is the brake signal wire and will be connected to the red wire on the brake controller. This wire should only get signal when view full answer...
Typically the 5th wire of a brake controller wiring bundle on a vehicle is the "illumination circuit" which is basically a circuit that activates when the headlights of the vehicle are on to power a backlight for the brake controller. This is not typically used anymore since brake controllers have digital displays now so it's not needed. view full answer...

Typically, the power wire on a factory 7 way is on a 40amp circuit with a fuse or breaker somewhere near the fuse block. Sometimes it can be a 30amp circuit. If you are going to be running more than 30amps, I would call the service department at the dealer you got it from and find out for sure. You could also give the fuse block a quick check to see if it is clearly identified. view full answer...
Yes on a 2013 Chevy Avalanche the tow package wiring colors should be the same as those on a 2007 Chevy Tahoe. On the vehicle, the red/black wire connects to the controller black wire for 12 volt power.
The GM white goes to the controller white for ground
GM light blue/white goes to controller red for brake light signal
GM dark blue goes to controller blue for output to trailer brakes
And if you see an orange wire it will not be used. I have included a link to an informational article view full answer...

Your 2010 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD will require you to make additional wiring connections under the hood to complete the installation. These are power connections for a controller like the P2 # 90885 and trailer power feed. The linked article includes photos and detailed instructions for making those final power connections using wiring and terminals already in place near the truck's power distribution box under the hood.
The 4 wires from the controller itself will connect to your under-dash view full answer...
Yes the # 3015-S would work on a Journey brake controller. The 4 blunt cut wires of the harness can basically be wired to any brake controller out there and the other end would plug in to the port under the dash of your 2004 Chevy Silverado. view full answer...
The Tekonsha Custom Wiring Adapter for Trailer Brake Controllers - Pigtail - GM # 3015-S does match color for color if you have 12V power getting to the adapter. If you do not, then they specify that the red and black are reversed for functions in step 3. If you have power then you skip step 3 and move to step 4 which is matching color for color. I've highlighted this part to assist in the attached photo.
The brake controller will have black for power input which will connect to view full answer...
The part you were looking at, # 3015-S, will not work with your 2005 Chevy Trailblazer EXT.
If you have the factory 7-way towing wiring, the wires will be taped up under the dash to some other wiring with either a piece of white or blue tape. There will not be a connector on these wires, and they will need to be spliced to the brake controller wires. A circuit tester, part # PTW2993, will be needed to be sure the proper connections have been made and the vehicle wiring is functional.
