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 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.

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.Just what the doctor ordered for the customers Honda Ridgeline. Unbilivably, though the truck was completely wired from under the dash from the factory since it was purchased new with the trailer package, the dealership was oblivious to the fact that a brake controller was needed and were dumbfounded on where to get one, or where the connector was located in order to install it. Found the controler on etrailer.com and the connector location on utube. 228914
Just bought a Prodigy 3 and on my first trip with our light weight [email protected] clamshell with electric brakes pulled with a 2016 Honda Pilot...very satisfied. I installed a factory hitch and harness and the cable etrailor provided snapped right in. The trailer is under 2,000 lbs so I opted to bet the boost to zero. So far so good. The only issue is it seems to apply the brakes more firmly when going over rough pavement, otherwise the braking action is very smooth. I didn't want to mount the controller bracket permanently so I bent an angle plate into a U shape and pop riveted it so it would hang in the lower trim panel. 407957
Just bought the Tekonsha Primus IQ and installed it. Haven't used it yet, as I pick up my first travel trailer next week. Product is solid, packaged with ample, clear instructions, wiring and mounting hardware. Lower dash on my Honda Ridgeline slopes steeply so I fashioned an L-bracket from 14 ga. steel bar and secured to side of center stack (see photo). Nice and level. Wiring to my harness was a bear, just because of where my connector was buried; needed the YouTube videos. Price was much lower from etrailer than any RV dealer around here. Arrived in less than a week. Think I made a smart choice. If it works as advertised it will get a fifth star. 375303
Great item. Only difficulty was locating the factory connector. Fortunately my dealer connected at no cost! 904988
I bought one unit to use two different tow vehicles. I bought an extra mount. The unit works great and is moderately easy to install. Sale staff was very very helpful. 903615

Plug was perfect fit, though finding it (the Ridgeline) under the dash and hooking it up was a bit challenging. But the adapter for the Tekonsha was the right one. Thanks. 898545
This brake controller wiring adapter was a perfect fit to our 2016 Honda Pilot. The hardest part was finding the factory plug under the dash. It was well hidden among all the other wires and connectors down there. I had to lie on my back on the floor with my butt against the seat and my legs in the air in order to find the plug and connect the adapter to it. But it fit fine. 893710
Saves lots of time and frustration. 884059
Quick service, Perfect fit, thank you 872938
I bought this to connect a Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller to the 2020 Honda Ridgeline factory trailer wiring harness. It's a perfect fit. I routed the wiring adapter through the space between the lower part of the dash and the upper part of the console. This prevented having to drill a 1" diameter hole in the back of the dash pocket to allow clearance for the adapter connector. 868001
Easy to install and easy to use! I had to adjust the controller to find the "sweet spot" and once I did that it has been smooth sailing. 863547
Provides the difficult to find connector for Hondas and plenty of length to mount controller anywhere 862909
Plug and play. Everything was a perfect match 855733
Recieved no problem hooked up to existing plug under dash worked excellent ! 849529
Great product that fits perfectly. Thanks for the great service and products. ..jim 849153
After doing some quick research, I ordered the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 brake controller and needed this adapter to plug directly into the wiring harness on our 2010 Honda Pilot. We tow a large pop up camper and this setup works great. The written instructions and accompanying video are clear and concise and made the installation simple. Recommended! 845980
Instructions never mentioned you need to add a 20amp fuse for 2015 Honda Pilot in the secondary under-hood fuse box that powers the brake controller. The number 14 fuse labeled Trailer E-Brake. There is a diagram on the underside of the fuse box cover you can use to verify this. 837823
worked great. I needed to figure out which extra fuses I needed installed on the Honda Pilot, but Tekonsa unit calibrated well last summer and after a winter of sitting, I hooked up the camper last week and it appeared calibration was maintained. 830481
Purchased this brake controller and the corresponding wiring harness and installed in my 2017 Ridgeline. Installation was easy. Factory plug is behind dash right above the parking brake. A little tight to get your hand in, but not too bad. I did not cut thru the plastic panel behind the controller like some installs. Cable is long enough and can be ran in the crack between the two plastic panels (See picture). Install turned out good and controller is easy to setup. Very happy with purchase. 825818
Received Brake controller and cable.Then installed hours before picking up trailer. Setup was easy. The late delivery of the controller made time tight but, we made it. 820081
Install and plug-in was quick and easy in my ‘19 Ridgeling. Basically, it was a plug and play deal and the controller works great. 809170
Honda Ridgeline 2017. Exactly the right length to allow mounting the controller in the dash compartment and run the cable along the channel between the dash and the instrument trim panel. The etrailer installation video for a ridgeline was indispensable. NOTE: The Honda connector has a little locking tab that has to be pressed as you slide the cable connector into it. It required some manual dexterity and a lot of persistence, since you have to do it one handed. But it can be done. 803247
Perfect fit, easy installation on my 2018 Honda Pilot. Well done etrailer (you recommended this when I bought the Prodigy P3) 797403
