What our customers are saying:

Thanks for the great service and fine products. I received my order on the 3rd business after placing it and that was w/ the standard ground shipping. The hitch went on just great and looks good also. It sure is substantial and heavy duty. I am not quite done w/all of the wiring but I am sure everything will work just fine. Thanks again for the break control directions. Certainly I will recommend your company to anyone I know looking for these type of products. Larry

Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 2011 Ford Ranger

Today in our 2011 Ford Ranger we are going to be installing the Prodigy P2 Brake controller, part number P90885 in conjunction with the ETBC7 wiring kit for our new simple harness which will be mounted with the no drill bracket from Draw-Tite, part number 18136. To begin our installation we are going to start here at the back of the vehicle. Go ahead and wire up our bracket and start running our new duplex cable to the front of the vehicle. As you can see this vehicle is already equipped with a four pole harness. Before we can install our seven-pole well need to go ahead and attach the mounting bracket. Well use some supplied hardware then once we get all four fasteners in position well go ahead and tighten them down.

Ford Ranger Brake Controller Questions and Answers


  • Activator Trailer Brake Controller Keeps Blowing Fuse on 2006 Ford Ranger when Using Manual Override
  • First, I recommend using a 30 amp circuit breaker, # PK54530, in place of a 30 amp fuse to power the controller. A circuit breaker will auto-reset so you do not have to replace a fuse. There may be some corrosion or dirt inside of or in the back of the vehicle side trailer connector that is causing a short and the fuse to blow. That is the first place I would look. To make sure the controller is wired correctly, the wires have the following functions: White is ground Black is 12 volt pow

  • Parts Needed to Install Tekonsha P2 Trailer Brake Controller on a 2000 Ford Ranger
  • The 2000 Ford Ranger does not have a plug or wire bundle under the dash to install a brake controller. You will need to hardwire in the controller. To do this you will need to first add a 4-Way trailer wiring harness, # 118344, unless you already have one. Then you would need a 4 and 7-Way installation kit # ETBC7. I have included some links that explain and show the installation of the ETBC7 kit. The video is on a 2002 Ford Ranger and it will be very similar on your truck.

  • Can the 12 Volt Hot Lead on a 7-Way Run Through a Fuse Instead of a Circuit Breaker 1996 Ford Ranger
  • You can use an in line fuse instead of a circuit breaker for the hot lead on a 7-Way. However, the circuit breaker will automatically reset whereas a fuse would need to be replaced if it overloads. If you do use a fuse then make sure it is rated at 40 amps. If you do decide to go with a circuit breaker use # PK54540.
