Installation of Tekonsha Brake Controller Adapter
This adapter plugs into the port that is built into the electric junction box beneath your vehicle's dash. The black box is located to the left of the steering column, just above the carpet. To plug in the adapter, first remove the cover on the box. The adapter plugs into the second slot from the left, on the top row.
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.

Easy install, just plug it in, use the 2 self tapping screws for the mounting bracket, mount the controller with 2 screws, a couple of tie straps, DONE Instructions for use very clear.
by: Max 12/16/2020
Concerning this wire adapter, I was pleasantly impressed that the wiring was covered in a black wiring loom, very professional looking. With this wiring adapter it makes it extremely easy to connect it to the trucks built in trailer plug as well to the brake controller.

I ordered this brake controller about a week ago and received it today (4-18-20).
Im always working on things and my old lady gets bored, so today was sort of our day! Well i decided id make a bet, 20 bucks i can have it installed in 15 minutes!! She agreed and the race was on!! I ran out, grabbed my drill, a small drill bit, a hex head bit, and got to work! I opted for the removable bracket for worry somebody may break in and steal it.
It marked two holes, drilled them with a very small bit, and then screwed the proveded screws in, i then popped the brake controller in, ran the wiring ( sepratly provided
by etrailer.com, for my specific vehicle, a 2004 gmc yukon)above everything to the plug box under the dash, plugged it in, put the cover back on, and wallah!! 15 minutes exactly!
This thing looks great, works great, and is priced great!

I know this isn’t a pic of the item, BUT it wouldn’t have been possible without. Plug and Play. I bought this because we bought a trailer from a dealer and they required the truck to have trailer brakes. This plugs in under dash, if your truck has 7 pin. I did it without checking to make sure it was activated. Went to dealer, 130 miles away and 4000 feet in elevation to pu trailer. As I was pulling out and first hit brakes the trailer locked up. (There is an adjustment device, that purchased separately, or in a kit pugs into wiring harness that plugs into truck to activate trailer brakes). So I adjusted it and everything worked beautifully. Oh my gosh I have pulled trailers for years but never a TT. Tons of car trailers but never with brakes. Brakes are awesome when going over passes of 5k elevation.
THIS COMPANY ROCKS. The only issues I have had with this company is my own ordering fault. I have used them for years and indirect people to them.
THANK YOU.

I have always been pleased with the products that I have purchased from etrailer. I have found their pricing to be one of the best and they are always ready to help with any questions I might have.

the wiring adapter was good length to reach from the wiring terminal under the dash to the top of the dash where I mounted my brake controller.
by: Dave12/10/2020
Amazing product. Easy to use and good display. The wire harness to make it plug and go. Make easy for anyone to install.
by: Thomas12/29/2021
Nice product. Still had to pull the pins for power and trailer brake and wire them directly. A better explanation of what constitutes a tow package and what doesn't would help.

Mounted it low on the dah, it’s a great controller

Excellent product, install went great following the video on etrailer.com. Shipping took longer than estimate at checkout, but still made it. And just having it in stock made etrailer better than my local store, which did not.

I was so stressed out trying to figure out what I had signed myself up for. I saw your video. Ordering the parts was idiot proof, and the installation was so easy an completely no-nothing girl installed it less than 30 minutes. Will definitely be looking to you all the next time I need something. Thank you!

Perfect fit. Plugged right in. Video showing which open spot on the fuse box to plug it in was very helpful.

- Wiring a Brake Controller on a 2007 New Body Style Chevy SilveradoOn your New Body Style 2007 Siverado there is no port underneath the dash, so you won't need a wiring adapter like the 3035-P. There is a bundle of 5 wires taped up together with the following colors red, dark blue, light blue, white and brown. You can find the bundle underneath the dash above the brake pedal. The wiring harness also has a white tag taped to it, which should make it easier to located. We have a chart for how to match these wires up to the wires on the brake controller....

I have heard of some occasions where these connections were made at the factory, but it would be wise to double check. Once you have the brake controller wired to the brake control harness in your cab, check for the brake control wire and the battery charge wire under the hood.

On the brake controller, white is ground, black is 12 volt power in, red is input from the brake switch, and blue is output to the trailer brakes. You can test the factory harness by plugging it in and not attaching the brake controller. Then use a circuit tester such as # 3808 to test the wires on the factory harness. If none of them have...

view full answer... - Brake Controller Wiring Harness Recommendation for 2007 Model Year GM TrucksChevy produced two body styles in model year 2007, the classic and the new body style. If you have the classic model, you would want wiring adapter, part # 3015-P. But if you have the New Body Style, the Tekonsha brake controller would wire directly into the tow package wiring located under the dash above the emergency brake pedal with no adapter needed. I have added a link to an article below showing how to do this.

We have a help article that covers exactly this which I have linked for you. The red wire with the ring terminal on it that you found goes on the stud at the back left of the power distribution box nearest the green 30 amp fuse. This is power to the brake controller. I have included a picture that will help. It is B in the picture.

- After Installing Brake Controller on a 2008 GMC Sierra the Park Assist Feature Stopped WorkingThe tow package wire under the dash of your 2008 GMC Sierra should not have anything to do with the park assist feature on the truck so I am not sure how it is affecting it. The orange wire in question is an illumination circuit not used by the brake controller. You should have the Red/black GM wire attached to the brake controller black wire, white to white. light blue/white to red, and dark blue to blue. Check the fuse for the park assist by locating it using the owners manual. It...

This would be the red wire from the brake controller. It should be spliced to either a light blue or orange wire from your Yukon's brake controller harness. I recommend checking that connection to make sure it did not come loose and make sure the wire was not damaged at all. The brake controller has power, so I do not think the fuse is the problem, but if you have...

The controller sends a signal back to the 7-Way to see if a trailer is connected or not so that is how it knows there is no trailer connected.
