Installation of Tekonsha Brake Controller Adapter
This adapter plugs into the 6-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.

The Tekonsha Primus IQ was very easy to install with the GM wiring harness. I had everything installed in about 45 min. and it works great on my 2015 Chevy Traverse. etrailer.com had my order at my door within 3 days and offered free shipping. Can’t ask for much more than that.

Our new Tekonsha brake controller was super easy to install. We are new RVer's and are will use it today for the first time when we pick up our travel trailer from the dealer.
Looking forward to many safe miles because of that device.
We are telling everyone we meet about the great prices and service at etrailer.com
Thanks,

2014 GMC Acadia
On Monday I ordered a Teknosha Prodigy P3 Proportional brake controller and interface cable from trailer.com. I received these items via UPS ON Wednesday ( I chose to pay for two day shipping because I'm picing up a new travel trailer on Saturday).
Today (Thursday) I installed the controller in my 2014 GMC Acadia. It was fully installed in les than 20 minutes. I will functionally check it this weekend. Etrailer.com responded quickly to my order and I received the items on time.

2015 GMC Acadia
The wiring harness plugged into the 2015 GMC Acadia connector for my 7 wire electric brake controller. I had to drill a hole in an access panel under the steering column so that the harness could attached to the brake controller. Everything worked as anticipated. I did have to purchase a special upholstery tool kit from NAPA (plastic tools) to remove the connectors on the access panel. I would recommend this harness and the corresponding electric brake controller for any GMC vehicle that can pull a trailer that has electric brakes.
Comments
The brake controller has been working great! I have not had any problems. Setting the braking strength is easy when moving from a loaded trailer to an empty trailer. I would recommend this controller for all GM vehicles capable of pulling a trailer with electric brakes.

Great product and service. etrailer website and its videos were excellent in helping chose the right product set up and instillation. The Tekonsha Plug-in Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controller was just the ticket for my Chevy Traverse. Easy instillation and Works as advertised. Very happy and would buy from both Tekonsha and etrailer again without reservation.
by: John J.03/02/2016
Just what I needed to hook my new brake controller up and get ready for our camper. Couldn't be easier. Plug in to the Traverse's wiring harness, and plug the other end in to the brake controller. Perfect match!

The connection is as strong as it was when I instaled it.

2013 Chevrolet Traverse
I ordered item 3026-P to connect a 2013 Chevy Traverse with a Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller. My Traverse has the factory installed Tow Package (V92), so the harness plug is already populated and ready to plug into the 3026-P.
The pre-wired harness fit perfectly to my 2013 Traverse. After hunting for the factory plug hidden under the dash, the harness installed easily and locked into place. There is plenty of slack to route where desired on either side of the steering column. I chose the left side for a more flush bracket install against the plastic under-dash cover. The harness installed perfectly into the Prodigy P2. The unit instantly powered up and appeared nominal in operation.
I look forward to using the combination of these 2 items to safely haul around a travel trailer in the near future, which is why I preinstalled these.
One thing to keep in mind is that there is live voltage on the black wire when the harness is mated to the vehicle plug, so if you install the harness but remove the Brake Controller (when not used or used between 2 vehicles), be sure to cover the open harness end with a rubber cap or electrical tape, to keep from shorting it to any ground point.
Great product, excellent pricing, and easy to find for my specific configuration!

2017 Chevrolet Traverse
Bought item from etrailer, although there seems to be some confusion as to it's use for a Prodigy P3 90195 Brake Controller install on a 2017 Chevrolet Traverse LT with Tow Package. I'll put it all to rest right now. Mine installed in mere minutes. Grey plug taped to wire harness running up against firewall right above the parking brake assembly. Matched and fit perfectly. Once I noticed the issues I tested the connectors in that plug to insure I had a ground, constant power supply and a power supply when the brake pedal was depressed and that is when I knew the others who had issues with the simple install I've described had much different setups then did I.

Chevrolet Traverse
I ordered the Tekonsha P-3 brake controller from etrailer because they would ship it with the correct cable assembly for my Chevy Traverse at a very good price. It came with good directions and installed easily and quickly. I've taken my trailer out one time now and the Tekonsha brake controller performed flawlessly. While this is a small sample size so far, I would highly rate etrailer and the Tekonsha brake controller.

GMC Acadia
Got the Tekonsha P2 brake controller. Very simple to install since my Acadia had a tow package on it from the factory. Just plugged it in! Mounted with Velcro since I didn't want to drill into my nice new dashboard. (Requires frequent pressing to keep stuck - lol.) Can't tell you how the controller works because I ended up not buying the trailer I was looking at. :(
Zac at etrailer was extremely helpful and courteous. Would definitely recommend them and will buy from them again. They beat all my local prices and shipping was fast.
Thanks etrailer!

2013 Buick Enclave
I received the Tekonsha P2 controller and the 2 - click, made-to-fit wiring harness for my 2013 Enclave. It did, in fact, fit perfectly and the controller is a HUGE step up fom my previous non-proportional controller. Installation was literally 10 minutes! (Including reading the very clear instructions). Customer service from Tamara W was exceptional. She confirmed the correct part numbers and answered all my questions. Good price, good product and great service. Reward them with your business !

2014 GMC Acadia
I have used etrailer.com several times and I have found it very easy to order parts and receive these parts in a short period of time. This last order consisted of all the wiring harnesses controller and hitch for a 2014 Acadia. It also comes with very good installations papers. Only thing I wish it would have had extra with this order with the wiring harnesses need to have Dielectric grease to plug in to car to had had a small tube sent with those harnesses.
by: Paul S.06/03/2015
Was wired wrong from the get go. The picture shows the wiring at the controller plug as: Black, Red, White, and Blue. The one I received had the Red and White wires reversed. The vehicle side plug was also wired wrong: 2 wires went to empty positions on the vehicle plug. After sorting it all out with the schematics that came with the controller, and MUCH frustration with the switched wires, I manage to get it working. The controller works great! Just give the wires a look over for proper sockets/wiring.

This cable made it super easy to install the brake controller into my 2011 GMC Acadia Denali and didn't have to mess with splicing wires.

My mechanic installed in 10 minutes-he said it was simple and easy--worked on my Traverse smoothly with little adjustment on my part. I hadn't pulled a trailer for over 15 years.
by: Dave C.01/25/2014
Very quick delivery of quality parts. I'll be sure to use etrailer again if the need arises. The only problem I had was finding out how to remove the plastic panel below the steering wheel. There were three plastic plugs holding it in place, but sometimes plugs in other vehicles broke by just pulling them. In this case, there is a plastic washer that should be pried out about 1/4" with a screwdriver. Once it is pried out, you can grab the plug and pull down with your fingers. Really a great improvement by GM over older plugs.
by: Scott S. 04/25/2017
I was very excited to find this product as I don't know much about vehicle wiring. At first, I was not sure if this item would work with the Brake Controller that I purchased but after contacting customer service, I found that it was exactly what I was looking for. The item itself is great as there is no connections that need to be made up, it is plug-and-play. The response I got from customer service also included images of exactly where I would find the corresponding connection and sure enough, it was right where they said it would be. Keep up the great work!

- Where are the Trailer Brake Controller Fuses Located on a 2014 Chevy SuburbanOn the 2014 Chevy Suburban there are brake controller fuses in locations 6 and 63 under the hood. If the one at 63 is good then it must be the one at position 6 that is either missing or blown.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Brake Controller of 2018 GMC Adacia Not Working with Brake PedalSo the red wire of your brake controller needs to be connected to a circuit of your 2018 GMC Acadia that sees voltage only when the brakes are applied. If you used a custom install harness on your Acadia like the # 3026-P to install the controller then most likely you have a blown third brake light fuse since that's connected to the stoplight circuit for the brake controller. If the controller was hardwired to a stoplight circuit you most likely need to check the condition of the connection...

Tekonsha makes two 3026 wiring adapters, part # 3026-S which is a pigtail and part # 3026-P which has dual plugs.

Chevy trucks also some times need additional connections under the hood to make everything fully functional. I have included a link to a help article that explains this for you. I have also included a link to a video showing the harness being installed on a similar truck.

On some vehicles, there is an extra wire for illumination of the brake controller, just in case a particular brake controller requires it. As long as the brake controller works correctly when you plug it in, you are good to go.

If there are wires and a harness already at this port you should be able to unplug the harness from the port that these wires go to and simply plug the Tekonsha harness into your vehicle and then plug the harness into the brake controller and you would be ready to go.
