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:
For most applications, the factory plug is located beneath the dash, near the center console. If you have a Ford full-size van, the harness is underneath and to the left of the steering column. The Ford Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer have 6-pin connectors behind the glove box on the passenger's side. On a Ford 2010 Flex, the connection point is under the front edge of the dash directly below the steering column. On a 2013 Ford Explorer, the connection point could be behind the driver's side kick panel. On a 2014 Ford Explorer, the brake controller port is located by the steering column.
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.

I have an '02 Excursion and a Tekonsha brake controller. This was as easy as plug and play.
I ordered the trailer brake adapter harness for my 2010 full size Range Rover.
It fit great and its well made to do the swap,
for others that will read this here is how.
I found the brake connector in the truck was hidden behind the fat harness thats next to the inside left kick panel, just behind the hood release panel
By pulling on the OBD 2 wire harness, I found it was tied to the OBD harness.
Some say that the connector is on the left side of the steering column , in my truck is was on the far side of the fat harness so it was hard to see.
I had to remove the left side console, I removed the screw, then pulled the bottom of the wood panel towards the left door, the 2 pins released, then the panel slides to the rear of the truck to dislodge the top pin.
5 screws secured the lower panel , remove the lamp ,unplug it,
then remove the OBD 2 connector from its mount , slide the gray collar to the left kick panel then the harness pushes up out of its holder.
Plug in your new adapter harness for your trailer brake controller,
Assemble is the reverse of taking it apart.
in the picture the new harness is connected to the gray connector
I ordered a Draw-Tite 5535 Brake Controller & adapter cable 3035-P from etrailer for my 2011 Ford Holiday Rambler F53 Chassis RV to tow my Tow Dolly with electric brakes. I ordered the parts on Saturday and received them on Thursday using economy shipping rate which was great. I received just what I ordered and installed them today (Friday) everything worked perfect and the install was very quick and easy.

Great no problems, Plug & Play made a hard job easy.
Multiple products which I purchased from Etrailer to upgrade my Capri Rodeo truck camper. The steps are well made, easy to setup, and extremely helpful in entering and exiting. I set them next to the door when travelling. The trailer brake controller smoothed out the jerking that was a problem for far too long and simple to install. The vent cover was definitely needed as the original had a hole in it. The removal and replacement went well.

All the items are quality products and still working well.
Connected to factory wiring and to Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller without any issues.
I'd ordered the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Proportional Trailer Brake Controller (1 to 4 Axles ) on a Monday with a Wednesday delivery date of two days, as I'd specified. I have a Lincoln Navigator that had the factory installed heavy tow package. I had also ordered the adapter connector for Prodigy P2 controller to the Navigator's factory plugin. The entire install took me 15 minutes. I found the video review of the controller quite helpful as it demonstrated how to static set the controller's setting before drive trials and how to set the "boost" settings. Good price and very easy to install.

The device is still working as advertised!
I haven't towed with the it yet. But installation on my 2007 Ford F150 was pretty simple. The plastic panel I attached it to had steel behind it. So I removed the plastic panel, mounted the bracket, then trimmed the excess length off the screws, and reinstalled the panel. The wiring harness plugged right into the truck's plug under the steering wheel. It seems like a great product, and having the specifc wiring harness for my truck made it simple to install. Sheila was very helpful too. Thanks.

Ive been using it now for a year. It works great!
The harness coupled into truck fitting as shown.Installation was easy. Looks nice on dash-board. All-around well made product.
Exactly what I needed to add my brake controller without cutting and splicing. I wish I had an easier time finding it on the website but that's probably on me.
Super easy install on 2013 Explorer Sport- just plugs in! Only reason I docked it one rating is it should have come with a couple of cable clamps and screws to hold the excess cable neatly & safely under the dash. I had to buy them separately - see photo.

Working great, easy install
A fast installment. Plug into Ford plug, and plug to brake controller, added 2 fuses, and 2 relays under the hood, and you're ready to rock.

the brake controller works great. I pull a 9000 pound carry-on 12 foot dump trailer, and the brakes work great.
Easy plug and play installation on my 2007 Mountaineer. So much better than having to wire the whole thing myself.

Still working just fine. The Tekonsha controller and adapter performed fine on a long tow from NJ to OK and back last year, and I suspect they will continue to work just fine in the future. Definitely the way to go if the factory wiring is present.
The brake controller we purchased and had professionally installed works perfectly. We had it installed in our RV for use when towing a large vehicle trailer. It's reliable and simple. It was a great purchase!
Having a pre-wired harness was a bonus when I installed my electric brake controller and the brake controller fit perfectly under the dash of my Ford E-450 motorhome. I only had to drill two small holes in an existing bracket to mount the 90195 brake controller. The service I received from eTrailer was great and I will definitely be a repeat customer.
Ordered a trailer brake controller and the wire harness adapter for our Motorhome. Everything fit and works perfectly. Very easily installed.
This is the first trailer brake controller I have ever purchased or used so I don't have any past experience for a reference. However I think I hit the jackpot with this. The installation was easy and took me no longer than 15 minutes after a quick review of the installation instructions. I have a 2004 F150 and along with the Tekonsha Brake Controller I purchased the Wiring Adapter which made the installation very easy. Took it for a test run and it works awesome. Good product.
I bought the Prodigy 3 controller and the plug and play harness for my f150 and installation was a breeze. The main trailer I use has four wheel brakes and I sometimes haul very heavy loads. The controller has worked flawlessly! Thanks for a great product and thank you Angela for awesome customer service!
Had it for a year. Been through many states with a couple different trailers. Works great.
