Install your electric brake controller quickly and easily with this custom wiring adapter. Simply plug one end of the adapter into your brake controller and then plug the other end into the built-in harness beneath your vehicle's dash.
Features:
This adapter plugs into the built-in connector beneath your vehicle's dashboard. To access this connector, first locate the instrument cluster finish panel in the center of you dash, near the driver's side. Carefully pry the panel out and undo the locking tabs to remove the panel. Plug the adaptor into the mating connector in the large gray housing behind the panel.
To install your electric brake controller you need to connect the wiring of the controller to your vehicle. Certain manufacturers offer pre-wired options, typically known as tow packages, wherein these wires are run for you from the dash to the trailer connector on the back of your vehicle. Often, a brake controller wiring harness is included with your tow package. This harness plugs into a port beneath your dash and connects to the four wires of the brake controller. If, however, you have a brake controller with a plug in place of the four loose wires, you can use the Tekonsha adapter.
This adapter requires no hardwiring. It is designed to plug directly into your electric brake controller for the simplest installation possible. Because there are no wires to connect, installation is not permanent. You can unplug and remove your brake controller at any time and securely stow it away.

Install your electric brake controller quickly and easily with this custom wiring adapter. Simply plug one end of the adapter into your brake controller and then plug the other end into the built-in harness beneath your vehicle's dash.This is my third truck using my prodigy brake controller with the plug in adapter. As in the past the wiring is heavy gauge to match vehicle & installed with ease. I used the prodigy mount bracket to take up space & slid it in factory controller slot. I can unplug it when not in use if I want & interior looks stock. I make a slot in back of dash compartment to feed adapter wire through for easy plug in & out. Product was revived quickly & ordering on etrailer site was a breeze. Would definitely recommend this plug & play adapter
Tom - 09/24/2021THE WIRING HARNESS MADE THE CONNECTIONS A VERY SIMPLE PROCEDURE
Part plugged right in 2011 f150xlt 3.5EB, you have to go under the dash and reach up and unclip the harness from where it is stored, it is not meant to plug into the exposed trapezoidal plug that is under the dash visible
This connector has been installed in my 2017 Lincoln Navigator for a year now and is working fine. I am able to control all braking functions. 1 minor issue, the instructions tell you to unplug the factory plug and plug in the new connector. Since you cannot use both the factory side of the wiring, I sometimes loose the display that shows what gear I am in when I am in "tow haul mode". I am using the Tekonsha P3 electronic brake control 90195 and am very happy with its operation.
Abbot7 - 04/22/2021The service was fantastic and prompt. I did have trouble installing the wiring harness. The connector from the controller to the truck was the wrong one, so I finally gave up and went to a trailer service place.
The Tekonsha brake controller kit with the plug-in wiring adapter was the first purchase I made from etrailer. The installation video was the real selling point. Because it showed exactly how to install it I was confident I could do what the technician did. The installation went perfectly and has worked flawlessly. I’ve made a couple purchases from etrailer since and been very happy with them. I plan to purchase the Roadmaster Active Suspension system from you in the next couple of months. Again watching the installation video gave me confidence that I could do this. Thanks etrailer. Keep up the good work.
Straightforward install. Required some technical expertise related to my specific vehicle. Works flawlessly on 2 different trailers. Still installed, still working.
Easy install on my 2010 F 150 XLT. There are 2 possible locations for the trailer wiring harness if your vehicle did not come equipped with the mfg brake control. Consult owners manual. My harness was located below steering colum behind lower dash. I routed my harness to the left side behind the parking brake release lever. You may have to remove the outer sleeve of the factory harness depening on your vehicle. Mounted the mounting bracket with double sided foam tape and predrilled holes before screwing in place. Mounted the Pod brake control and tested. 5 stars!
Worked great. Very easy to install. I cut a hole in the back of the dash cubby hole to the right of the steering wheel for the wires to pass through and used adhesive velcro to mount the brake controller in the cubby. The brake controller is held with velcro on the bottom and the sides and does not vibrate or move at all. Very easy install and the only hole I drilled was in the back of the cubby hole and the brake controller is very easy to reach for braking and adjusting. I wanted to slide the controller further back in the cubby, but the velcro started sticking early and I left it. It could probably slide back another 1/2" to 3/4". Not much, but would be nicer. I may pull it out in the future to get it seated further back, but the velcro is really strong so I don't want to mess with it right now.
Installed in 2018 F150 Raptor. The power was not available at the plug, and had to be added. See pictures. The video's where good help. I chose to use a 20 amp fuse, close to the battery, this gives less chance of a short, and I can remove the fuse, when I am not towing, to prevent battery drain.
installed on a 2009 F-150 everything was as advertised. It was plug and play. My truck had the wire plug behind the dash so was easy to hook up. I installed it in the hole below the coin holder. To reach the pre-wired plug you have to remove the panel anyway. I don't like any wires showing or anything I might hit with my leg. So did not mount it on the lower dash. You have to pull the plastic box out to unplug the connector. So just cut off the back of the box off and run the connector through the hole and connect to the controller. This way you can remove the controller anytime you want. Also you can see the readout much easier then mounting it on the lower dash. See pics
This brake box is a rock star. It was a perfect fit on my 2011 F150.
John W - 08/31/2021The adaptor seems to be well built. Works like it is supposed to. Good price. Excellent customer service. Speedy processing. I will definitely be purchasing future upgrades/products from etrailer. Thank you for your good service and kind customer rep. Hard to find good experiences like this nowadays. I've included a picture of a Tekonsha Voyager that I installed in the area the OEM TBC would be. Its sturdy. It works. Too easy.
Great price on this adapter. Super fast shipping and the wiring was well packaged along with a ball mount---not damaged.
Great brake controller. The adapter cable made this a snap to install. Works great with both of my trailers. The shipping was fast too.
Bobby - 11/04/2020Product installed exactly as described and in the videos. The wiring harness plugged right into the plug under my steering wheel. When I got my order confirmation they sent me a few videos on how to install just Incase I had any questions. Product works great and is super easy to use and adjust for my trailer. Highly recommended.
As advertised, plug and play. Set up and operation of controller simple and straight forward
I ordered this cable because I've changed to a newer truck . It did exactly what I needed and plugged directly into the wiring harness. No must no fuss I love it.
Item Purchased: Tekonsha P3 Controller and OEM Cable for 2010 F150 Ford Lariat I couldn't be more satisfied with the Outstanding and Expeditious service I received from etrailer.com. This is my first experience with etrailer.com, I will definitely refer this site as a must use resource for anyone in need of the service and products you provide.
Super easy install with factory inputs, worked great for use with RV and trailer.
Just like every order I’ve placed with etrailer, the parts matched the description, fit the vehicle, and the videos for installation were perfect.
Works like a charm, I will purchase from you again. The plug and play adapter worked perfect.
I ordered a #22292 to replaced #3034. You sent me a #3036 instead. #3036 seems to work, the light comes on the Draw-Tite with brake applied. And light comes on when manually activated. Have not hooked up the trailer yet.
We own a 2015 Ford F150 SuperCrew, 3.5 EcoBoost with Max Tow package. Of course, equipped like this, the truck came with a factory-installed, integral brake controller. That's good news. The bad news is that there various internet forums report there to be an unusually high failure rate of these factory controllers. So, being a bit paranoid about being out in the middle-of-nowhere in our truck and travel trailer and suddenly having (a) locked brakes, or (b) no brakes at all, I decided to install a high quality aftermarket controller. Based on company reputation and prior experience with Tekonsha products, I selected the P3 and proper 'plug and play' wiring harness. Following Tekonsha's instructions as well as vehicle-specific on-line videos, I found the installation to be super easy. I elected NOT to take the truck to the Ford dealer to have the computer re-flashed for the absence of the factory controller. Now, each time the truck is started, I have to click "OK" to clear the 'TRAILER BRAKE FAULT" message... to me that's no big deal. Also, when compared side-by-side, the Ford controller seems flimsy and cheap, whereas the P3 has a quality feel, fit and finish. Wanting the controller to be easy to see and easy to reach, I chose to install the P3 on top of the dash. So, I am delighted with the Tekonsha P3 and - as always - with etrailer's service.
