Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 2008 Dodge Ram 3500

Today on this 2008 Dodge 3500 we are going to install the Tekonsha P3 brake controller, part number 90195. Our first step is going to be locating where you want to mount your brake controller. For this application, we are going to mount it right here. One of my mounting fasteners is also going to be one of the current trim fasteners. So I will go ahead and remove that first and install my mounting bracket. For my other fastener, we are just going to use one of the screws provided in the installation kit. 0:35

Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 2009 Dodge Ram 1500

Today we are going to install the Tekonsha Primus IQ brake controller on a 2009 Dodge Ram 1500. We will also be using the Tekonsha wire harness, part number 3020-P. The Primus IQ is a proportional style brake controller. It sense how hard or how softly you are braking in the vehicle and sends the proper voltage to the trailer brakes so the whole braking action is smooth and even. It features a digital LED display and also has three levels of boosts to increase or decrease the trailer braking power as needed. It can be mounted between 0 degrees and 70 degrees nose up. And it is covered by a limited lifetime warranty. In the packaging for the brake controller, you will find the brake controller itself, as well as a fixed black plastic mounting bracket and a black metal bracket that we will not be using. You will also find a packet of screws for attaching the bracket to the vehicle and the controller to the bracket, as well as a generic harness with loose wire ends. But since we have our custom fit harness today, we will not be using that wiring. Let us head to the vehicle. 1:13

Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 1990 Dodge Ram Pickup

Today on this 1990 Dodge Ram Pickup we are going to be installing Prodigy brake controller part number 90185 along with brake controller wiring kit part number ETBC7. We are going to start our installation back here at the rear of the vehicle and we are going to install our 7-pole at the rear first. The first thing we want to do is mount the bracket for the 7-pole. This particular vehicle has a nice large bumper that we can drill into. You just want to find a nice mounting location. Mark the holes and drill those out. I am just going to be using some self tapping screws to accomplish this. You can also drill 1/ 4 inch hole out if you like and use the provided hardware down through the bumper. Next we are going to take the 7-pole adapter from the ETBC7. Mount it on to the bracket and we are going to be doing that using the provided hardware. The next step is to merge up the 4-pole end on our 7 and 4 way adapter to the existing 4-pole that is on the vehicle. If you do not have an existing 4-pole you will need to add that on as well. However, this existing 4-pole unfortunately is not compatible with our 4-pole that we have on our adapter so what I am going to have to do is cut the ends off and wire them in direct. 01:14

Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 2009 Dodge Ram Pickup

Today on this 2009 Dodge Ram we will be installing the Tekonsha P3 brake controller along with the wiring harness for it, part number 90195-3020P. The first thing I want to point out is the factory installed 7-pole at the rear of the vehicle and this will be the indicator of whether or not your vehicle is going to have the factory installed brake control port under the dash. The factory 7-pole we are looking for is built into the bumper. It will have the Chrysler logo built on the front. If you do not have this plug you will likely not have the port under the dash that we are going to be plugging into. Thus will have to hardwire your brake controller into the vehicle. 00:38

Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 1999 Dodge Ram Pickup

Today on this 1999 Dodge 1500 Pickup, we are going to install part number 90185 Prodigy Brake controller. We are also going to install this T-1 harness part number 118329 from Tow Ready and we are going to install this brake controller also with part number ETBC7. First off we are going to start off installing the part of the T-1 wiring harness part number 118329. We need to do that so our ETBC7 has a 4-pole to plug into. The connection points are underneath the tail light over here. What we are going to do is push the button on top and pull down the bottom and it will come apart. And we are working on the passenger side. On the passenger side we will install the connector with the green wire. All right, we will go ahead and route our 4-pole wire over to the center and then we will run our yellow wire, run that over past the center to the driver side tail light and we will make the same connection underneath the driver side tail light.

Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 1999 Dodge Pickup

Today on this 1999 Dodge, we will be installing part number 90195-3020P. The P3 part. The first thing I want to note on this vehicle here at the rear is the 7-pole plug. This is actually a factory 7-pole plug which is going to allow us simply to plug our brake controller and adapter into place and go. To figure out if you have the factory 7-pole plug, you will note that this has got the welded bracket to the factory installed trailer hitch and if you actually look at the cover of the 7-pole, you will see the Chrysler logo and if you look closely you will see the actual Chrysler name written across the front. Those two indicators will help you know that you have got the correct factory plug.

Dodge Ram Pickup Brake Controller Questions and Answers

• Issue With Dash Warning Light Illuminating When Installing Brake Controller on a 2003 Dodge Ram
  
• The most likely solution is to cut away the red wire you found under your wheel that you ran to your 12 volt auxiliary. There should not be a 12 volt accessory wire in that bundle. If this circuit is needed for your trailer you will need to run wire from the positive side of the battery through a 40 amp circuit breaker to the 7-way. This should fix the trouble light you are seeing on your dash, but if not, you would want to sever the brake output circuit to see if that will fix the problem.

• Parts Needed to Install a P2 Brake Controller on a 2011 Dodge Ram 1500
  
• If you have a factory 7-way at the back of your 2011 Dodge Ram you would only need to get a Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter # 3021-P. This will simply plug into the back of your Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller # 90885 and then plug into the port underneath your dash. If you do not have a trailer connector you will first need to start with a 4-way. For that I recommend the Draw Tite # 18252 Hardwire kit # 18252. Next you will need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way.

• Troubleshooting a Prodigy P2 Brake Controller that Turns On Brake Lights when Plugged In
  
• To me it sounds like the 12 volt power circuit for the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 # 90885 is shorted out to the stop light switch circuit which is putting power on your brake lights and activating them. I would go over the wiring of the controller looking for any shorts or exposed wires and fix them as necessary. From the brake controller the black wire is the 12 volt power source, the blue wire is the brake output circuit, the white is ground and the red is the stop light switch. I attached an F

• Troubleshooting Multiple Trouble Codes from a Prodigy Brake Controller on a 2007 Dodge Ram
  
• The OL (overload) and SH (short circuit) codes that you are seeing on your Prodigy brake controller are typically related to a short on the brake output circuit. The NC (not connected) code could also indicate a short on the brake output circuit as well because this indicates that the truck is Not Connected to the trailer. The .c that you see indicates the trailer is connected and you have the boost on. There are a few things that you can look into that may be causing these issues. Often tim

If it came with a 4-Way and the factory port for the controller then there is a connector where the wire terminates. This connector is usually located under the drivers side of the vehicle, right behind the front wheel well. There are more wires on the hood side (right side) of the connector than the hitch side.

• How to Test the Blue Wire on a Trailer Brake Controller on a 2004 Dodge Ram
  
• A brake controller like the Prodigy, # 90185, will send a small amount of voltage back to see if a trailer is connected. The load from the magnets is what it is checking for. You can test the blue wire behind the controller and at the 7-Way with a meter. To test the blue wire at the controller you will need to sever the wire a few inches from the back of the controller.

Using a circuit tester like # 3808, test the red wire when you step on the brake. It should show a signal when you step on the brake and no signal when you release the pedal. If it does not show a signal, then the connection to the brake switch is no good and you will need to make a new connection. You can also check the stop light
