Tekonsha Brake Controller with Wiring - 90185-3015P

Tekonsha Prodigy Electric Trailer Brake Controller with General Motors Adapter (2003-2006)

Tekonsha introduces Prodigy, one of the most advanced and intelligent approaches to trailer brake controls. Prodigy, requiring no manual leveling, is a technological breakthrough among inertia-activated brake controls. Equipped with a self-adjusting sensing device similar to the one used in guided-missile technology to allow for easy, flexible installation - from nearly horizontal to nearly vertical - the Tekonsha Prodigy constantly adjusts itself to the position of the tow vehicle.

Features:
  • Applies power to the trailer brakes in proportion to vehicle's deceleration.
  • No level adjustment necessary - it adjusts itself to varying terrain as you drive.
  • Works proportionally in reverse - great for backing into tough spots.
  • Digital display depicts voltage delivery to trailer during braking.
  • Continual diagnostics check for proper connection, shorted magnet condition and much more.
  • "Boost" feature gives users the ability to apply more initial trailer braking power when towing heavier trailers.
  • Power-saving mode reduces drain on battery when vehicle is not in use.
  • Unique pocket mount allows for flexible mounting options.
  • Quick and easy disconnect feature allows user to remove and store the control when not in use.
    • Vehicle specific wiring adapter is included to make installation simple
  • Rotary manual brake adjustment lever
  • Limited lifetime warranty
Specs:
  • Dimensions: 3-1/8" Wide x 5-1/8" Long x 1-3/16" High
  • Made for up to 4-axle trailer brake systems (2 to 8 Brakes)
  • Can be mounted between 0 degrees (level) and 70 degrees
  • Boost levels increase power up 0%, 13% and 25%
  • Power saving sleep mode draws 3.6 milliamp
  • Version 2.6
Installation:

The vehicle specific adapter has one end that plugs into the back of the brake controller while the other end plugs into the port in the black box located under the dash.
Note: If your vehicle has a factory installed hitch and 7-way connector, then all of the wires for the brake controller have already been run. If not, additional parts will be required to complete the installation of the brake controller.

Video Transcript for Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 2005 Chevrolet Silverado HD 2500

Today on this 2005 Chevrolet HD 2500 we are going to install part number 90185 the Prodigy brake controller and then the adapter cord for it part number 3015-P. The first thing we need to do is get underneath the dash and pull up the access cover to the panel. That is to the left of the brake pedal itself. Take off this panel right here, undo this nut. There is a series of sockets up here and we want the one that is second from the left and we will plug our adapter cord into that. That just snaps into position. Put our cord out of the way and then we will put our cover back into place. 00:47

We will leave that alone for now and we will take our mounting bracket and we are going to attach it to this metal part right here. In this case we are going to actually use the plastic pocket for it and we are just going to use a couple of these holes on the back side and attach it to the metal framing right here. Then we are going to use a couple of self tapping screws that we outsourced from the local hardware store instead of the hardware that came with the kit. 01:19

We have got that attached. Now we will run our cable through the back of it and then we will plug our brake controller into it and it will snap into the back of the Prodigy and just pop it into place. The next thing we need to do is zip tie our wires up out of the way. The next thing we are going to do is try it out on our trailer. You can see that we have it plugged in and our brake controller already found the trailer. It is showing a C for connection. 02:05

We will run through the functions real fast. The bottom lever is the manual override. This is our gain control that determines how much power is going out. All the way back towards you is 0 and all the way towards the front of the vehicle is full power. Then we will do our boost button here. Boost one, b1, and then we have boost two, b2, and boost three,b3. Basically the boost settings, what they do, is set a certain amount of power to the trailer so you can feel them working first, usually about one second after we start working then it reverts back to proportional mode. There you have it for part number 90185-3015P from Tekonsha.

Good service & updates I ordered a Tekonsha brake controller at eTrailer and found the whole process to be very easy to work through with good customer service. I found the part, watched an installation video, ordered the brake controller and received regular updates on the shipping of my order. I received the parts on the date promised - all in good order. All for the best price that I could find. What more could I ask for? Thanks for doing this stuff the right way. 1591

The hardest part to this installation was drilling the pilot hole for the mounting screws after that it was just plugging in the connectors. A great video to see how it was done. Thanks I highly recommend this product.21979

  • Tekonsha Prodigy Proportional Brake Controller Continual Diagnostics Checks
  • The Tekonsha Prodigy, part number 90185, will check and alert for connection problems including loss of battery ground, loss of trailer brake magnet ground, shorts in the brake ouptut circuit, a corroded or damaged trailer connector, or improper mounting.

  • Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller Installation on a 2005 Yukon XL
  • Chances are the 4-way that you have is aftermarket. However, it will not make a huge difference whether or not it is factory or aftermarket. First thing I would check is to see is you have round connector present above the spare tire. If there is a plug above the spare tire, you can use the Replacement Trailer Connector for GM Trucks, item # 30955, which will plug right into the connector. If your vehicle does not have the connector there will be a bundle of wires above the spare tire. These

  • Tekonsha P2 Trailer Brake Controller Does Not Recognize Trailer Connected to a 2004 GMC Sierra
  • If you are not getting any display with the trailer connected it could be that the Prodigy, # 90185 or # 90885 for the P2, has lost power or has a bad ground connection. It is also possible that you will need to make some connections under the hood to power the brake controller and make the 7-Way trailer connector fully functional. On some models of the 2004 GMC Sierra, even with a tow package, there are still some connections that will need to be made. This requires access to the accessory
