Installation of Tekonsha Brake Controller Adapter
This adapter plugs into the 5-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 cutting or splicing of wires to install. It is designed to plug directly into your electric brake controller for the simplest installation possible. Because there is no hardwiring, installation is not permanent. You can unplug and remove your brake controller at any time and securely stow it away.

This was long enough to route across from the emergency brake to the center console. Grounded white wire to a bolt under the dash with a 10mm nut. Easy

This device continues to work well. No problems at all

I haven't installed anything from my order just yet so i can't comment on the products just yet. I'm sure that these, like the others I've purchased over the years will do the job as advertised. This isn't my first time dealing with etrailer, so I'm not at all concerned with the job before me. Very few companies I've dealt with are as capable and competent as etrailer. Their customer service is second to none. Every employee I've spoken with has been well versed in the products as well as their uses and their installation. I highly recommend. Love these folks.

So well, Ive not given it a second thought.

Worked fine for my 2015 4Runner. Installation of the wiring harness, especially the ground wire, a little difficult.

After 1 year of flawless use I am very pleased with this wiring harness for my 2016 Toyota 4Runner. The installation was super simple and easy; plug and play. I would definitely purchase again for another vehicle.

Plug and play! I've had the same brake controller on several vehicles...get the correct harnest for your vehicle and easy peezy! Advice: Plan on how you're going to route your wire harnest first before mounting brackets.

Install was easy thanks to the custom harness. Seems to work great with our new Intech Sol Dawn camper. No complaints!!
by: Keith 07/15/2022
Quick delivery. Video for install made it super easy. Everything installed and ready to go in less than an hour. Haven't had a chance to tow with it yet, but did hook up trailer and it controlled as expected. Seems like a good economical solution. RV dealer wanted $300-400. This cost me right about $100 with controller + custom harness.

2016 Toyota 4Runner
The wiring for the Tekonsha proportional brake control fit my 2016 4 Runner perfectly. Plus the videos that etrailer has showing where the plug in is under the dash made finding it a cinch.
Thank you so much etrailer- Anthony, one of their staff even sent me the links for the wiring and the brake controller videos so I wouldn't have to hunt for them. Amazing staff- very helpful. Thank you so much.

Thanks for asking. It means a lot that your company cares about products and service. Ive been very impressed with your company and the information that you provide. The brake controller works very well and is a very good product. Ive been very pleased with it. We went on a long trip from South Carolina to Montana. On the way we stopped by Mount Rushmore. Were going up a steep grade almost 10. Coming down it was nice that I could adjust the controller For more brake power. Thank you so much

Plugged in to 2016 4Runner TE and Tekonsha Voyager brake controller. Works great. Easy install. Be sure to connect white ground lug to a good metal grounded location. Simple to install and price is great.
Comments
I like them. Performed well. Thanks
Ottis B - 12/11/2017by: Israel06/28/2021
Good unit, reliable. Display is hard to read and the form factor and mounting location results in a banged Knee from time to time. A longer wire harness would be good enabling a center console mount.
by: David07/07/2016
2016 Toyota 4Runner
Installed on a 2016 SR5 4Runner. Plugged right in, white wire with pre-crimped terminal loop made it a snap. Super easy install.

Been a year, still working great.

Easy set-up and perfect match with the trailer brake controller
by: Tony 07/27/2021
Everything I have ever ordered from etrailer is top notch and their customer service is as good as it gets. I had delivery problems with the post office and an actual person from etrailer tracked the package and got the hiccup worked out. Can’t say enough good things about them.
by: Barbara F05/27/2017
Purchased Brake Controller and Wiring adapter. It was just as easy (or even easier) an installation than described. Dealer wanted about $150 to "wire" my brake installer. I noticed this product on-line and read reviews and decided to see if it really was what it said. It took my son around 10-15 minutes to get it mounted and ground. When plugged into trailer, it worked!!
When contacting Customer Service, I was very impressed.

- Where To Attach Ground Strap of Brake Controller Install Harness # 3041-PThe grounds on many Toyota vehicles including your 2014 Toyota 4Runner has proven to be insufficient so an additional ground wire has been added to help when installing the # 3041-P. There is likely an existing ground location under the dash you can use or a bare metal surface that would be perfect for a ground. The firewall is one option. Just as long as it isn't a painted or coated surface and just bare metal it will work.

- What Signals Are Carried on the Circuits of 7-Way Type Trailer WiringThe 7-way type trailer wiring format does include enough circuits for all the trailer lights, 12V auxiliary power for a trailer-mounted battery and for trailer brakes. On a 7-way socket the trailer brake signal is carried on the contact at the 5-o-clock position. Please refer to the linked photo of a 7-way vehicle socket that shows you which signals are carried on each of the pins. I also included an article that explains all the types of trailer wiring in common use. Having a 7-way on...

view full answer... - Why Does the Factory Brake Controller Wiring Harness for a Toyota 4Runner Have Five WiresThe reason your factory brake controller wiring harness has five wires is because one of them is for a backlight setting that is not needed on most brake controllers nowadays which includes the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90195. Therefore, you will only need to make four connections. Unfortunately, I do not have schematics for the factory brake controller wiring harness that came with your 2016 Toyota 4Runner but for the Prodigy P3 the functions are as follows: Black...

This brake controller is proportional so when you have it set for your trailer it will automatically adjust the trailer braking force sent to your trailer based on how hard your 4Runner is braking. It does this with an inertia sensor that is inside the Prodigy P3. When you do not need the controller the quick disconnect mount allows you to remove it and store...
view full answer... - Solution For Brake Controller EBS/Error Message On 2020 Toyota 4RunnerThis is a common issue I've seen in many different Toyota 4Runners as they seem to be more sensitive to backfeeding from the red wire of the brake controller to the stop light switch. This causes the issue you're seeing, triggering the ABS error message. You are correct when thinking that a diode will prevent this from happening but the Tekonsha # 3041-P harness does not feature a diode in the red wire. The harness you need is the # 7865.

view full answer... - Recommended Brake Controller for a 2020 Toyota 4RunnerIt's my understanding that your 2020 Toyota 4Runner should have come with a connector already installed up and behind the emergency brake pedal. If all you found was a bundle of wires and then a connector in your glove box then you should be able to either install that connector so that you can use an adapter, or you can possibly bypass the harness you found if the wiring under your dash is long enough. I can make some recommendations for both options but I will say that I don't know what...
view full answer... - Brake Controller Installed on 2015 Toyota 4Runner Making Traction Control Light Go OffHow was the controller installed? If it was hardwired, you'll want to make sure the brake controller's red wire has been tapped into the correct circuit. If your 4 Runner is a 2008-2013, that red wire should tap into the green/yellow wire that exits the brake switch atop the brake pedal. If it's a 2014-2020, it'll be a blue wire. If you're using a plug in harness, be sure you're using the 3041-P, as it's possible for the harness to fit into the connector, but not be pinned out properly. I'll...
