Installation of Tekonsha Brake Controller Adapter

Brake-Control Adapter Port

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.

I ordered a brake controler and was delivered in three day and it works great. Will order other parts in the future

Very impressed with quality. Fit exactly as needed and now the controller is working as designed. Should of purchased this the controller originally!! I think it should be the only way the controller is sold.

Perfect ! I think I spent longer typing this review, than I did installing this connector. Our GMC Acadia was easy. The factory connector was just to the left of the emergency brake pedal.

2012 Yamaha Kodiak

I ordered the Prodigy P2 and wiring harness for my 2012 and the equipment arrived in spectacular time. I plan to use the brake controller in conjunction with towing a Kodiak travel trailer. I have yet to use the system but it was installed easily useing the accompaning directions



by:

Our new Tekonsha brake controller was super easy to install. We are new RVer's and are will use it today for the first time when we pick up our travel trailer from the dealer.
Looking forward to many safe miles because of that device.
We are telling everyone we meet about the great prices and service at etrailer.com
Thanks,

2014 GMC Acadia

On Monday I ordered a Teknosha Prodigy P3 Proportional brake controller and interface cable from trailer.com. I received these items via UPS ON Wednesday ( I chose to pay for two day shipping because I'm picing up a new travel trailer on Saturday).
Today (Thursday) I installed the controller in my 2014 GMC Acadia. It was fully installed in les than 20 minutes. I will functionally check it this weekend. Etrailer.com responded quickly to my order and I received the items on time.



by:

The Tekonsha Primus IQ was very easy to install with the GM wiring harness. I had everything installed in about 45 min. and it works great on my 2015 Chevy Traverse. etrailer.com had my order at my door within 3 days and offered free shipping. Can’t ask for much more than that.



by:
2015 GMC Acadia

The wiring harness plugged into the 2015 GMC Acadia connector for my 7 wire electric brake controller. I had to drill a hole in an access panel under the steering column so that the harness could attached to the brake controller. Everything worked as anticipated. I did have to purchase a special upholstery tool kit from NAPA (plastic tools) to remove the connectors on the access panel. I would recommend this harness and the corresponding electric brake controller for any GMC vehicle that can pull a trailer that has electric brakes.

The brake controller has been working great! I have not had any problems. Setting the braking strength is easy when moving from a loaded trailer to an empty trailer. I would recommend this controller for all GM vehicles capable of pulling a trailer with electric brakes.

2017 Chevrolet Traverse

I am a retired auto mechanic so I truly know and appreciate when something is actually plug and play. Our 2017 Chevrolet Traverse had the factory V92 trailer towing package listed on the build sheet so the plug for the trailer brake was where it was supposed to be. The controller is easy to adjust and has an LED display to let you know if it senses a connection. Additionally, there are three levels of brake application based on trailer weight. We tow three different trailers so this feature is appreciated. Completely works as advertised and all for a good price.



by:

Just what I needed to hook my new brake controller up and get ready for our camper. Couldn't be easier. Plug in to the Traverse's wiring harness, and plug the other end in to the brake controller. Perfect match!

The connection is as strong as it was when I instaled it.



by:

Very easy to install. Haven't got a trailer to set yet, but from other reviews, looks like it will be easy.



by:

The plug matched the truck's wiring harness and works good. The instructions were very clear and easy to use.

Great product and service. etrailer website and its videos were excellent in helping chose the right product set up and instillation. The Tekonsha Plug-in Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controller was just the ticket for my Chevy Traverse. Easy instillation and Works as advertised. Very happy and would buy from both Tekonsha and etrailer again without reservation.

2013 Chevrolet Traverse

I ordered item 3026-P to connect a 2013 Chevy Traverse with a Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller. My Traverse has the factory installed Tow Package (V92), so the harness plug is already populated and ready to plug into the 3026-P.
The pre-wired harness fit perfectly to my 2013 Traverse. After hunting for the factory plug hidden under the dash, the harness installed easily and locked into place. There is plenty of slack to route where desired on either side of the steering column. I chose the left side for a more flush bracket install against the plastic under-dash cover. The harness installed perfectly into the Prodigy P2. The unit instantly powered up and appeared nominal in operation.
I look forward to using the combination of these 2 items to safely haul around a travel trailer in the near future, which is why I preinstalled these.
One thing to keep in mind is that there is live voltage on the black wire when the harness is mated to the vehicle plug, so if you install the harness but remove the Brake Controller (when not used or used between 2 vehicles), be sure to cover the open harness end with a rubber cap or electrical tape, to keep from shorting it to any ground point.
Great product, excellent pricing, and easy to find for my specific configuration!



by:
Chevrolet Traverse

I ordered the Tekonsha P-3 brake controller from etrailer because they would ship it with the correct cable assembly for my Chevy Traverse at a very good price. It came with good directions and installed easily and quickly. I've taken my trailer out one time now and the Tekonsha brake controller performed flawlessly. While this is a small sample size so far, I would highly rate etrailer and the Tekonsha brake controller.



by:

worked exactly as documented



by:
2015 Chevrolet Traverse

Needed this to plug into the factory wiring on my 2015 Chevy Traverse LTZ. It is not equipped with a dash port for direct plug in, but Chevy does leave wiring with a factory plug end under the floor liner. Once I found that, this mated, and made hook up of the brake controller easy. No splicing or cutting necessary to install my brake control module.



by:
2017 Chevrolet Traverse

Bought item from etrailer, although there seems to be some confusion as to it's use for a Prodigy P3 90195 Brake Controller install on a 2017 Chevrolet Traverse LT with Tow Package. I'll put it all to rest right now. Mine installed in mere minutes. Grey plug taped to wire harness running up against firewall right above the parking brake assembly. Matched and fit perfectly. Once I noticed the issues I tested the connectors in that plug to insure I had a ground, constant power supply and a power supply when the brake pedal was depressed and that is when I knew the others who had issues with the simple install I've described had much different setups then did I.



by:

Was wired wrong from the get go. The picture shows the wiring at the controller plug as: Black, Red, White, and Blue. The one I received had the Red and White wires reversed. The vehicle side plug was also wired wrong: 2 wires went to empty positions on the vehicle plug. After sorting it all out with the schematics that came with the controller, and MUCH frustration with the switched wires, I manage to get it working. The controller works great! Just give the wires a look over for proper sockets/wiring.



by:

Very quick delivery of quality parts. I'll be sure to use etrailer again if the need arises. The only problem I had was finding out how to remove the plastic panel below the steering wheel. There were three plastic plugs holding it in place, but sometimes plugs in other vehicles broke by just pulling them. In this case, there is a plastic washer that should be pried out about 1/4" with a screwdriver. Once it is pried out, you can grab the plug and pull down with your fingers. Really a great improvement by GM over older plugs.

2014 GMC Acadia

I have used etrailer.com several times and I have found it very easy to order parts and receive these parts in a short period of time. This last order consisted of all the wiring harnesses controller and hitch for a 2014 Acadia. It also comes with very good installations papers. Only thing I wish it would have had extra with this order with the wiring harnesses need to have Dielectric grease to plug in to car to had had a small tube sent with those harnesses.

  • Where to Find Brake Controller Install Port on 2018 GMC Acadia
    Your 2018 GMC Acadia actually has blunt cut wires for you to splice in a brake controller like the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195. The last Acadia to use the Adapter # 3026-P that you referenced was the 2017 Limited which was the same as the 2016 model year. The 2017 New Body and newer have the blunt cut wires up under the dash. I took a look at the online version of the owner's manual for your 2018 Acadia and on page 278 it says that the blunt cut wires can be found above the parking brake...

  • Installing an Electric Brake Controller in a 2018 Chevrolet Traverse with a Factory 7-Way Connector
    The Electric Brake Controller Adapter, part # 3026-P, is confirmed to fit the 2018 Chevrolet Traverse Limited. If you have a Limited model you should have the connector underneath your dashboard. Since you don't have the connector under your dash instead of using the # 3026-P adapter you need our # 5506 wiring kit to install the Prodigy P3, part # 90195. The wiring kit includes everything to power a brake controller. I've linked a video from when we installed our # ETBC7 kit on an older...

  • Troubleshooting Brake Controller of 2018 GMC Adacia Not Working with Brake Pedal
    So the red wire of your brake controller needs to be connected to a circuit of your 2018 GMC Acadia that sees voltage only when the brakes are applied. If you used a custom install harness on your Acadia like the # 3026-P to install the controller then most likely you have a blown third brake light fuse since that's connected to the stoplight circuit for the brake controller. If the controller was hardwired to a stoplight circuit you most likely need to check the condition of the connection...

  • Installing an Electric Trailer Brake Controller on a 2010 Chevy Traverse with Tow Package
    The connector you need for a 2010 Chevy Traverse with Towing package is part # 3026-P. I have added a link to it below. I am looking at the instructions and it appears you will need a small flat head screw driver to gently pry the plastic push-rivets out to release the panel. I have added a link to the instructions below so you can see where the connector is located.

  • Brake Controller Recommendation for 2015 Chevy Traverse
    Your 2015 Chevy Traverse should have a 7-way trailer wiring connector present at the rear of it. If it does not you'd need the part # 118271 to give you one that taps into the factory wiring. Then all you'd need is a wiring harness designed for your vehicle like the part # 3026-P. For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller part # 90195. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional...

  • Is there a Plug and Play Harness to Install a Brake Controller on a 2019 Chevy Traverse
    We know that the 2017 Chevy Traverse with factory 7-Way trailer connector had a plug-in location for a brake controller but nothing is shown for the 2019 Traverse. I would check under the dash, to the left of the steering column, for that wire bundle mentioned in your manual. It is likely held together with a white tag (that is traditionally how GM has handled the wire bundles). If the wire bundle is present the tag should list the functions of the wires.

  • Hardwiring Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Brake Controller in 2011 Chevy Traverse and 2015 Chevy Colorado
    For your Prodigy P3 # 90195 on your 2011 Chevy Traverse, if you have the factory 7-way then you just need wiring harness # 3026-P. If you don't have that then we recommend using the # ETBC7 kit that will have you hardwire from the battery using a circuit breaker. The circuit breaker used for the brake controller power is a 20 amp like # PK54520. I've attached a video of the 12V power wire connection, but it does not include the brake controller power connection that will be nearly...

    Hello Carl! Your 2015 Chevy Traverse does indeed come with a port to plug in a brake controller so long as you have the factory tow package. You mentioned it being tow ready so I wanted to clarify that as long as your Traverse came from the factory with a 7-way harness you'll have the necessary port.

    Did you remove the panel under your driver's side dash? The plug for the adapter # 3026-P should be located there, taped to another harness to the left of the steering column (see attached photo). This exists if your 2017 GMC Acadia Denali has a factory 7-Way connector at the rear. The plug-in adapter that I referenced will allow you to install a brake controller like the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 without hardwiring anything.

    If you are looking to match a factory type set-up on your 2016 Chevrolet Traverse, then the round factory plug you are referring to is a 7-way trailer socket. Because you don't have the factory tow package, we need to take a couple steps to get us there. The first step is to see if the factory wiring for a tow package is present. Look behind the bumper on the passenger side for a connector. If there is a connector, we will just need # 18138. This will allow us to simply connect the...

  • How Does Brake Controller Install in 2014 Chevy Traverse with Factory 7-Way
    Your 2014 Chevy Traverse that has the factory 7-way does not require accessing the brake controller wiring if your plan was to install the Curt Echo Mobile brake controller part # C74VV that you referenced. Basically you'd plug in the Echo directly into your 7-way and once you've synced it to your smart phone you'd be ready to tow. If you wanted to install a more traditional brake controller like the P3 part # 90195 you'd use the install harness part # 3026-P which plugs into a gray connector...
