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 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.

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.The Tekonsha plug-in wiring adapter fit my 99 Silverado 1500 with not any issues at the fuse block. The length of the wire harness allowed me to install the brake controller in the CD storage for easy access and use.
1st quality parts from etrailer.....great to deal with...thanks again
The hitch and controller was installed on a 2002 Chevy 2500HD. It took roughly 15 min to install the Tekonsha P3 Brake Controller, plug it in and program it. As far as the B&W Turnover Ball Hitch, I cut the hole in the bed and cut the heat shield out the day before while I was waiting for the hitch to arrive. The next day my parts arrived, I laid out all the parts to make sure everything was there and then started the install. I didn't want to cut the 1"x1/2" notch out of my fender well to get the angle iron in so I spent about 15 min. trying to get it up on top the frame from underneath the truck. A waste of time. Do like the instructions say, cut the notch and slide it straight across the top of the frame. It will save time and aggravation. After getting both braces in place I ran a piece of rope down thru the hole and pulled the hitch plate up into place and tied it off. I installed all the bolts finger tight, put the side plates on and tightened everything up. It looks nice and I saved myself a $435.00 installation fee. With out a lift and without taking my rear tires off it took about 3 1/2 hrs. to install by myself. The only thing I want to say to B&W is don't place the heavy metal hitch parts on the booklet with the packets of Lithium Grease in it, they bust as the picture shows. Last but not least, thank you Sherry for all your help with my order and getting it to me quick in such short notice. I really appreciated it.
Paul O - 03/16/2018Thank you so much for the excellent service. Noah was polite, patient and professional. His knowledge is parts, negotiating the website and the accounting process was impressive. After receiving the email confirmation I realized I hadn’t requested overnight shipping. Called back and spoke with Will who provided more excellent service. It was 6:50pm Wednesday so I expected the part to ship in the morning. Instead, Will was able to ship it immediately and I received it at 9am the next morning! That’s only 14 hours from order to my doorstep across the country! Well worth the extra cost. Big shoutout to UPS too! I will continue to recommend etrailer to everyone.
Wasn't quite as easy to install as expected. Needed an experienced mechanical eye hooked to a limber body to find the right plug in spot under the dash. Some debate on where on the dash to hang the brake box, but I went with where the holes already were. Those teeny screws are tricky to get in and really did require a 1/4" ratchet, my fingers couldn't do it. Simple procedure, but did need the right tools. Took about 25 minutes, but some of that was going for tools... YES I'D BUY IT AGAIN ! One detail I learned about after installation, NO FUSE in the truck for it to work off. Needs a 40 amp fuse, and I didn't have one. Something to consider if yer new brake ain't working... sorry I do not have photo ability, if someone comes along, I'll ask them to take a pic.
Makes the controller install a breeze, simply plug it in. Enough length to mount the controller on the dash above and to the right of the accelerator pedal, where it can be reached to make adjustments easily.
Thank God I didn't have to wire the brake controller. This made it a simple plug and play
hooked up works great on control but never got to use on the road had to cancel vacation last year. and by the looks of it might have to cancel again this year. was going to order axle riser kits
Richard G - 03/19/2021I usually don't say much about these things...this worked out of the box. I had an old electric brake module that wasn't in the catalog any more. It worked on the previous Chevy truck and I wanted to install it in other truck. The hookups were different and I figured it would take some reconfiguration. Not the case here...call before you buy is my advise. I never took pictures but all I needed was tie wraps for the extra cable I rolled up under the dash.
Products were as described. Shipped out and arrived in a timely manner. Website offered much valuable information for installation and sold me on purchasing the product though them. I’m a very satisfied customer
I had never used a trailer brake before and my brother-in-law, who is an expert camper, said the brake was set up perfectly.
etrailer's instructions and videos are awesome. installation was a breeze UNTIL I needed to locate the brake signal wire (cold side of brake switch) on my 1999 suburban. What a pain. the switch is not very accessible let alone there are a ton of white wires under the dash --along with an alarm. Long story short, I found this in a GMC forum and it saved me big time: "Under the dash, next to the emergency brake is a black convenience box. At the bottom of the box is the letters GRN, next to that is the letters NAT with a small recessed box with two male spade connectors. The spade on the right goes to the brake switch. The wire from the brake controller is terminated there." Using the supplied probe tester I was able to verify this and finished up my installation. The Tekonsha Prodigy P3 controller works great.
Sean L - 01/07/2015Perfect length, plug it in, tie wrap wire up out of the way. Very happy with this easy install! ----- Installed on 2001 Chevrolet Suburban 2500
Bought a new Primus IQ brake controller but it only came with a pigtail wiring that had to be spliced into my '01 Suburban. Ordered the direct fit wiring pigtail from etrailer.com and couldn't be more pleased! It literally took me less than 10 minutes to plug in the wiring and mount the brake controller. Excellent customer service and very fast shipping! The kind of shopping experience that causes repeat business. Thank you etrailer.com and customer rep Lexus for making everything so simple!
Guy M - 06/13/2016Thank you so much Cristy for the exceptional guidance and friendly help while choosing the correct brake controller for my boyfriend's truck.....thanks for all the correct and helpful information everything went smoothly.....seamless....unusual this day and age.....Delivery was very prompt and product certainly lived up to all the reviews I had read before calling e Trailer......I would, without hesitation recommend this company for any mechanical needs......appreciate the follow up too......
Sherry R - 07/01/2014It doesn't get any simpler than this! Called etrailer and told them what vehicles I had. Sara looked it up and three days later I had the parts. Took all of 10 minutes to install and then I went to pick up my new camper. Product worked just perfect. Great company!
Very easy to install
Replacement for another brake controller. Easy install. The new cable got rid of excess from previous install. Both work great and it made a much neater job. As you can see, you can't even tell where the cable comes out of the fuse box!!
Made the installation a breeze!
Outstanding, no wiring or splicing, plugs right in to the vehicle fuse block and to the E-brake. Thank you etrailer.
Great product and it is exactly as it is described. I have a 15000lb fifth wheel and I need to be able to control it! I am positive that I bought the right product for that task. Stuyvesant, NY
Excellent to do business with. Received a part that had hidden damage in the box - one call and a new one was one the way the same day. Quality products and an excellent library of help videos. etrailer will be my go to as I need additional parts.
Seems to be working great. Glad for the 1 year follow up so you get some actual use of the product the review and not just a week or two. Go Dodgers
Great web site...very helpful.
Very easy to install, better than trying to connect individual wires like I had to do before. Works great.
