Today we are going to show you part number 39523 from Tekonsha. This is their powertrac electric brake controller. This brake controller is good for up to 2 axles. We will cover a few quick notes about this. When you hook up the trailer, it does come with a power on LED that lets you know you have a positive connection between the truck and the trailer. And also, that green indicator that lets you know that you are connected, changes to orange and then to red as the power to your trailer brakes increase. It has an easy to use thumb wheel adjustment on the side. It is also a solid state so you can mount this in any direction that you want. You can put it vertical, you can put it sideways, whatever way is most comfortable for you. Now we will go ahead and demonstrate it and show you how it works.
Right off the bat, you can see by the design of the brake controller, how the controls are oriented. It is designed to be sitting, almost at a 45 degree angle, on the bottom edge of your dash. You can see like this at this cross view. If you have a real tight area to put one in, this will be the perfect set up for it. Now when you activate the trailer brakes, like we said this green connector here shows that you have a positive connection. And then, when you hit the brakes it will turn from green to orange and then to red. And also on the side here is a thumb wheel that controls the total output. This is full and when you turn it down it turns it basically completely off. And also you have the manual override, so if you ever what to activate the trailer brakes themselves, you just push it over like so.
What you get in the box is pretty simple really. Obviously you get the brake controller itself, you get a bracket that you can mount to your dash that mounts onto the side here, and it also comes with a packet of screws to mount to the brake controller to the bracket and also the bracket to the dash of your vehicle. One other last note about this brake controller, it does come with a 5 year limited warranty. And there you have it for part number 39523 from Tekonsha, the powertrac electric brake controller that is good for 1 or 2 axles.
