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 's dash.
Features:
This adapter plugs into the 4-pin connector on your vehicle's built-in brake control wiring harness. The harness is located underneath the dash, to the left of the steering column, taped to another harness near the emergency brake pedal.
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.

Bought a Tekonsha P3 Trailer brake controller for my RAM 3500 HD when the OEM unit failed. A bit of work is needed to mount it but was well worth the price and effort to install. Simple to set up and adjust as the new brakes wore in. Braking with my 9750 pounds 5th wheel is now superb. The picture shows the final assembly just before popping the unit into the spot where the original unit was installed. My advice is: forget the factory unit, just buy one of these and enjoy your towing experience.
Purchased the Tekonsa Primus IQ controller with wiring adapter for my Dodge Ram. Shipment arrived quickly and was exactly what I needed. Installation was a piece of cake. Cut an opening in the plastic stock dash location. Plugged the adapter into the Dodge plug under the dash and into the Primus. Worked perfectly. No fuss. Installed in about 10 minutes which included the time to cut the opening.. Picture will be poster... I was so happy with the service from etrailers that I ordered the Blue Ox Swaypro hitch. Thanks ETrailer.com!
Alan B - 01/11/2015Everything arrived on time and as advertised. Installation went without a hitch. The imbedded controller was removed without a problem and the wiring adapter worked as advertised. The EVIC does display an error but is easily corrected by depressing the back button before shifting into gear, Another good experience with etrailer! Ken L
After spending $300 for a new OEM brake controller from Dodge, I still didn't have trailer brakes. Found this cable and an aftermarket brake controller and problem solved. Thanks etrailer!
Plug and play. Still working great after 1 year.
received my order in three days. I removed the factory controller and made the replacement fit in the same compartment . I havent hooked to the trailer yet but display says everything is working.
I bought this controller with the adapter harness to fit my 2012 Ram. I installed it in the location the factory controller would go into in about 15 minutes. Plugged right in and worked great. I couldn't be happier with it.
Great product, plugged right in and made the installation a piece of cake! The controller I bought was the P2, after a bit of cutting it went right in the hole where I believe the optional factory controller would have been. I did cut a bit further down than I should have.
I ordered a new trailer brake controller from etrailer and it came in less than 24 hours! Exactly what I needed, these guys never fail to get the right products sent off in a highly expedient manner. Great job!
Purchased this product, along with the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 brake controller, to replace an OEM brake controller in my 2012 Ram 3500 which was a timed unit, as contrasted with the P3's proportional braking action. This adapter fit the OEM plug perfectly, and braking function is now, at least in my opinion, greatly improved on all my trailers. Thanks, Tekonsha and eTrailer! (There was a minor aggravation which had nothing to do with the eTrailer parts; with the OEM unit unplugged and out of the system, the onboard computer turned on a red light on the dash, and an occasional message to "service the trailer brake system". Dealer techs tell me they can't turn it off, and I've gotten used to it. Just a FYI for any one who embarks on the same path as I did - it will either save you time at the dealer, or expose you to more knowledgeable dealer techs than I had....) JM
Works well. At regular setting, brakes a little grabby, but setting it down one level from standard works perfect with my RAM 1500 and 24 ft Fleetwood
Bought this to temporarily install my prodigy controller until I got a factory controller for my ram. This harness was so easy to install (2 minutes) and works so good I think I am going to just keep this setup and save the $200 for controller and $50 to get the EVIC programmed. For $15 you can't go wrong!
The brake controller has worked great the whole time. No problem to install. Thanks
Quick shipment worked great saved a lot of time instead of splicing wires under a dashboard just plug in both ends & your done. when you are changing your brake controller from a Ford f 150 to a Dodge Ram its the way to go.
A W - 03/17/2018Well, I have not installed the product as of today, so this review is more on etrailer's service, or the lack thereof. This product took 2 weeks to be delivered, and that was with it being in stock! I notified etrailer of this issue after checking a couple of times on when it would be delivered, and the original shipping listed it as 3-4 days, and basically the checks in the mail sort of thing. Now this wasn't the "free" shipping, I actually had to pay for this type of "service". I didn't want to even have to write a review, and that is what I responded to them in an email... but their response to me stating that I thought it was poor service, was... we "value our customers opinion". No apology, no here is 10% of your next order.... nothing! so I told them in that case I would change my mind and go ahead and write the review. So, for the couple of bucks I saved going thru them this time I will just use Amazon and my Prime membership where they at least truly "value" their customers opinions, and reports of poor service. Also, if you are in any kind of a hurry for your product you order, forget it! Might as well just grab it off the shelf at the local store, or better yet, find an online retailer who values their customers time and money and guarantees to get it there on time, and makes up for it if it isn't, regardless of who's fault it is. Just my 2 cents...
I bought the brake controller from them for an earlier truck. I recently bought a newer truck and ask which connector I needed to re-use my brake controller(which by the way works fantastic). I got a very quick response for the correct connector. Took a whole 2 mins to re-install the controller and wire and works great. Thanks again for your great service. Would highly recommend eTrailer and the Tekonsha brake controller.
This product worked perfectly in my 2012 RAM 1500. I had a lot of options and settled on this one. It was the correct choice. YouTube videos and other sources showed examples of splicing into wires and so forth but this product just plugged directly into an existing wiring harness plug and worked perfectly. No hassle, no removed panels, no splicing---just plug and go! Loved it!
I have ordered many times over the past 8 years or so and never have I been disappointed with the product or quality. Always fast shipping and always a perfect fit whether it be a wiring product or a new hitch. In this case it was a wire connector for my brake controller.
after getting several conflicting answers from the dodge dealer I asked the cust svc person here ordered the items he suggested they fit perfectly it took a whole 15 minutes to hook up the controller with the wire harness that was also ordered I will never call the dodge dealer again with towing questions trailer got it the first time with no trouble
I had to do an adaptation to override the built-in braking system on my 2010 Ram 3500 and etrailer had all the answers and parts in stock and ready to go. Love this site. I do a lot of hauling and will be back for anything I need. Great prices and quick delivery, what more could you ask for. Thank you etrailer,
I installed this device in about 2 minutes. I plugged in the harness which I purchased in addition to the break control box and mounted the bracket with two screws and attached the break control box to the bracket and I was done. Very simple! I did call my order in rather than order online so I could make sure I ordered the correct harness for my daughters dodge truck. If you don't order the harness then it's going to be more complicated. Buy the harness for $15 bucks. Trust me!
Order this adapter cable early afternoon on a Tuesday and it shipped same day. I paid for standard shipping and they upgraded the shipping at no cost. I received the cable on Thursday. The cable is well made. I installed it Thursday after work and I am very happy with the quality. It is listed for 2010 Dodge Ram 1500 but I have a 2011. It is the same connector though. Once connected everything looks correct from and operations perspective. It recognized that the trailer was not connected so first test complete. I have not tested it with the trailer yet because my truck is not broken in enough with only 150 miles. Will be testing it out hopefully in a few weeks.
Everything worked exactly as it was supposed to. Great Products and Awesome service!!!!
Worked great, plug and play for my '12 Ram ST. More than enough length to mount a controller anywhere along the bottom of the dash.
