The Duel cable with a black and white wires on the FJ Cruiser it takes about 14 ft to run through the frame on the driver side. I used a tape measure to fish the wire through the frame. The Prodigy P3 was easy to install and works very well

Great



by:

etrailer service is excellant. AA+++ As for the breaker, it works as advertised upon installation. Long term use, I have no idea



by:

Does exactly what it is supposed to do...protect the wiring under overload. So far, no issues after one year of being in the harsh conditions under my Jeep's hood.



by:

It's a circuit breaker!

We got
this wire our small teardrop for underway charging. I put it inline after the relay/solenoid, wired so we wouldn't exceed reasonable current flow in 10ga. wiring. I don't think it's ever tripped, except when I loaded it for testing.

Would use again.



by:

Excellent quality and strength. Why skimp on something as important as your hitch? I have purchased three of these Draw Tites - I guess a repeat customer will scream about the true quality a company can garner from repeat customers. When you pull show cars worth six figures, you can't afford a poorly made hitch.
Step up, step out, and don't fret what you are pulling.



by:

I had a couple of corroded breakers on my 12 year old travel trailer that caused a lack of 12v power from the house battery to the 12v system components. The replacements solved the problem. I have purchased from etrailer before and I've always been completely satisfied with the products.



by:

Cheaply made. Product gets a 3 star. Shipping gets a zero star. Your warehouse picked a product that had the all important bracket broken off. It was not in the box so the extreme volume and lack of packers delayed my installation. Thank you for shipping correct item 2 weeks late. This is becoming a regular policy.



by:

Perfect connector for what I was looking for on my 2019 RAV4. I originally installed it with the L bracket, but later changed it to be flush in the bumper. Looks very clean. The prefab pigtail made install into the car very easy as well.



by:

This product. Is. A great one its going to be used to conect my brake controller to. My 99 Chevy Tahoe I. Got. Both the 20 amp and the. 30 amp . Hopfuly I. Won't need. the 40amp . thanks so much for a. Wonderful produce



by:

I should have ordered the in-line breaker without mounting bracket......discovered it, but you were so fast the parts had been shipped..... I removed the bracket and installed it my Jeepster. It does the job.



by:

Works perfect on my travel trailer, in between my converter and my auxiliary battery. So cheap, that I bought 2 so as to have a spare...why not? Processing and shipping was super fast, I ordered on Wednesday afternoon and had it Saturday. It was awesome to see the video provided by eTrailer, as it helped convince me that this was the exact part I needed. I'll be shopping here again!



by:

Exactly what I needed to add a brake controller to my RV. Thanks for the support.



by:

They had to send this to me extra because it was missing from the ETBC7L kit that I purchased. It was inconvenient that it was missing but customer service and getting the replacement was easy and expedient.



by:

I install them in line and one more time the tutorial video was the best tool in my tool box. even wen I got a HVAC back ground the video was my best tool. Thank you.



by:

I ordered this controller and additional parts from Laser. Before committing to buying, I asked him many questions. He answered them all in about a clear and concise way as possible while presenting a picture of how to install the device. It arrived today and I haven't started, but he also emphasized that I could call if I ran into any difficulties. I'll follow up when the job is complete. My experience in this context could not have been better.
Michael



by:

Everything was as advertised, and thank you Kaylyn R for your wonderful customer service. It took awhile to get everything installed, because of crazy events in the past year, but it all works great!



by:

Circuit breaker seems to be working as intended. Ni issues so far at 1 year+



by:

All these products were great.

  • Tekonsha Prodigy P2 to 2017 Jeep Wrangler FAQs
    On the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller # 90885, the Red or Orange wire is the stoplight switch wire, connected to the light blue/white wire. If a custom brake-control wiring adapter is not available for your Jeep Wrangler, the you will need the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7.

  • Troubleshooting A Non-Functioning Tekonsha P3 Brake Controller
    Hey Ryan, Are you saying that the P3 # 90195 screen isn't even lighting up or that you're just not getting 12 volts out from the unit? The wire harness needs to be wired with black to the battery with a 30 amp in line circuit breaker # 38630, white to the frame for ground, blue to the brake controller output pin on your 7-way, and red to the cold side of the brake light switch. Since the brake light switch wire in your Silverado is too small to splice into I recommend installing a stop...

  • How to Install a Brake Controller in a 1994 Dodge Ram 1500 with Factory 7-Way Connector
    There isn't a custom brake controller wiring harness available for your 1994 Dodge Ram 1500. It is possible that Dodge makes one that will fit your truck but as far as an aftermarket one none are available for the 1994 models. A brake controller would have to be partially hardwired in. The custom harnesses are only confirmed to fit 1995 and later models. To install the controller, you will just need about 25 feet or so of wire # 12-1-1, sold by the foot, and a 30-amp circuit breaker #...

  • Will Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Brake Controller Work on Triple Axle Trailers
    You can use the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195 on a triple axle trailer with no worries about the wiring getting fried; the P3 is actually able to work with up to four axles and eight brake assemblies. If you are hardwiring the controller in you will need to make sure you use 30-amp circuit breaker # 38630 with your six brake assemblies. The low amperage on the red brake light switch is because it only needs enough amps to light the signals; it will not fry the wiring...

  • Installing a Brake Controller on 1997 Chevy Silverado with Existing 7-Way
    Since you have the 7 way installed already, the install is pretty straightforward. The 12V lead and the brake output wire will be ran from the 7-way up to the engine compartment. The wires terminate under the brake master cylinder. To find them, follow the brake lines down from the master cylinder. The wires can be found bundled up near where the brake lines bend to pass under the cab. The orange wire would run to the the positive battery terminal via a 40-amp inline circuit breaker,...

  • Do I Need To Add Blue Wire To Install Brake Controller on 2008 GMC Savana Van w/ Existing 7-way
    If your 2008 GMC Savana Van has the factory 7-way tow package, the blue wire should already be run. The wire should be under the dash near the emergency brake pedal. The wire may be tucked up and out of the way, or behind some other wire. You will connect the blue wire from the back of the brake controller to the existing blue wire which will supply power to the brakes on your trailer. Black is 12-volt power and should be connected to the positive battery terminal via 30-amp circuit breaker,...

  • Installing a Tekonsha P2 Electric Trailer Brake Controller # 90885 on a 2004 Hummer H1
    To install the Tekonsha P2 Brake Controller # 90885, in your 2004 Hummer H1, you will need to do a little hardwiring, but since you already have a functioning 7-Way trailer connector, there will not be too much work involved to get it installed and ready to tow. First, you will need enough wire # 10-1-1 to reach from the 7-Way trailer connector at the back of the H1 to the cab of the vehicle where you plan to mount the brake controller. This wire is sold in 1-foot increments. I recommend...

  • Installing Brake Controller and 7-way Trailer Connector on 1991 GMC 1500
    From your question, it sounds like there is two wires on the brake controller, plus a few on the 7-way trailer connector you are not sure about, is that correct? Take a look at our 4-pole to 7-way adapter, part # 37185. In addition to the lighting circuits, there are four additional wires. The white wire attaches to clean metal on the vehicle frame to provide a ground connection. The purple (or sometimes yellow) wire typically powers the reverse lights on the trailer (if it is so equipped)....

  • Ford Super Duty Trailer Connector Wont Power On In-Bed Fuel Transfer Pump
    I do have an option for you but it's probably not what you'd had hoped for. The issue you'll run into trying to use the trailer connector as a power source for your transfer tank pump is that the battery charge line circuit within the trailer connector that you want to use for power is only active while moving on most newer Ford trucks. This is by design and has been coined the "Ford Smart Tow". Therefore, you won't be able to utilize this with the transfer pump in the way you want. If...

  • Installation Of The Redarc Tow-Pro Elite RED44FR For 2022 Subaru Ascent?
    Yes, whoever it is that told you about the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller, # RED44FR has definitely made a great recommendation to you, absolutely this will work in your 2022 Subaru Ascent. The installation process depends if your Ascent is equipped with the factory tow package. If your Ascent has the factory tow package you will be able to use the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers, # 3062-P. This plugs into the factory trailer brake controller...

  • Installation Of Tekonsha P3 On 2007 Honda Pilot With Factory Tow Package
    To install a brake controller like part # 90195 to your Honda Pilot the plug-in adapter like part # 3070-P is used for Hondas with a factory 7-way installed. You would simply plug the # 3070-P into the port located under the dash and the other end would plug into the back of the P3 brake controller. If you do not, then you will need to install the brake controller using different components. Since you have a 4-way connector at the back of your Pilot I recommend part # ETBC7. This plugs...

  • How to Determine Circuit Breaker Amperage Rating for a Brake Controller Install
    Since your trailer will only have 4 brake assemblies a 20 amp breaker like the part # PK54520 would be recommended. If you had between 6 and 8 brake assemblies you would want a 30 amp breaker like the part # 38630. I attached a help article on brake controller installs for you to check out as well.

  • Installing the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 on a 2004 Land Rover Discovery II
    The Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 is an excellent choice for a brake controller and one of our favorites because of how easy it is to setup and use. To install it you will want to make these connections: White - Ground Red - COLD side of the stop light switch (only gets hot when brake is pressed) Black - Positive terminal on battery (using a Circuit Breaker # PTW2992 along that wiring) Blue - Run to the brake controller function on your 7-Way Since your 2004 Land Rover Discovery II already...

  • Installing Electric Trailer Brake Controller in 2019 Ford Ranger
    On your 2019 Ford Ranger, there isn't any wiring under the dash for a brake controller. You can either use a wireless trailer brake controller like the Curt Echo # C51180 or you can hardwire a controller of your choice using the wiring kit # 5506. Your factory 7-way should already have the 12V power connected, so you can simply use # 10-1-1 for wire from your battery to the circuit breaker # 38630 and then to the brake controller. Then use the same wire from the blue brake controller...

  • Brake Controller on 2001 Ford F350 Not Getting Power
    That lead is fused. Take a look in the power distribution box under the hood. There should be two blue maxi fuses that protect the power supply for the brake controller, and the 12-Volt accessory circuit to the trailer connector. Your owners manual should be able to provide the specific fuse location. If the fuse is missing or blown, install or replace it. If you should decide that you wish to wire the controller directly to 12-Volt power, I would recommend running a circuit directly...

  • Should Trailer Circuit Breakers be Protected from Weather
    I wouldn't recommend leaving any electrical connection, including the ones made on a circuit breaker like part # 38630 exposed directly to the weather. Exposure to water could cause the circuit to short out. A junction box like part # 38656 provides a excellent weatherproof place for electrical connections like joining a trailer connector such as # H20046 to the lighting and brake circuits of a trailer, but it would also work extremely well for protecting circuit breakers from the elements.

  • Can Inline Fuse be Used to Run 12 Volt Hot Lead to 7-Way
    You can use a 30 amp fuse if you like, though I do recommend using a circuit breaker instead, the 30 Amp In-Line Circuit Breaker # 38630. This is going to be a lot easier because while you will need to replace the fuse, a circuit breaker will automatically reset. I have added a link below to a video review for you to check out as well if you'd like.

  • How to Wire Trailer Battery to Trickle Charge from Tow Vehicle
    To set up a charge line for your trailer's battery you will want to use 10 gauge wire # 10-1-1 in however many feet it will take to feed the wire from the trailer battery to either your trailer connector's junction box or directly to the trailer's connector. If your truck has a 7-way connector, it is likely already wired for 12V power. You can use a circuit tester # PTW2992 to test the pin in the 1 o'clock position to see if it is powered at your truck. If the vehicle-side connector does...

  • Install Electric Brake Controller in Freightliner FL112 for Gooseneck Farm Trailers
    If the trailers you intend to tow have electric brakes then the Redarc # RED44FR brake controller should work for you. Since it has an accelerometer you will have the benefit of smooth proportional braking. Just mount this equiment in your cab per the instructions. You will need a few more parts to convert your Semi-Tractory wiring to the "RV Style" wiring depending on your current set up. I would put a Pollak # 38630 in-line 30 amp breaker in the line to the battery. I have attached...

    The blue wire should be run directly to the trailer connector. This circuit should continue on to the brake magnets. Each magnet should have two wire leads. One of these leads should be connected to the brake controller output circuit. The other should be grounded to the trailer frame. The black brake controller wire should be wired directly to the positive terminal on the battery with a circuit breaker in-line to protect the brake controller. If you have a 1-2 axles with brakes you should...

  • Brake Controller Install on 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee with Factory Tow Package
    I spoke with one of my contacts at Tekonsha, who tells me he is unaware of any vehicle-specific problems installing a controller on a 2008 Grand Cherokee. The only connection to the vehicle that could possibly affect the vehicle computer would be connecting the red wire on the controller to the wrong wire at the brake stoplight switch. The controller would be mounted under the dash to the right of the steering column, within easy reach of the driver. You can find the green wire that...
