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 '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.Perfect length and fit in my 2022 Honda Ridgeline. I carefully cut a hole at the back of the pocket just above the transmission controls, and with one end plugged into the truck, the other end was just long enough to plug into the controller before mounting it. I appreciate the nylon loom over the wires x a little extra protection when dragging the wires over metal brackets.
Well made cable. I finally went to the dealer to locate the in car cable connector. Turns out it was just above and slightly behind the OBD port. The P3 and this cable work well together. Still waiting for the trailer to arrive..
We found this product through a search for info on how to install a brake controller on our 2017 Honda Ridgeline. We had a Draw-Tite Activator IV Controller but struggled to hook it up until we watched your online video and discovered the existence of this Tekonsha adapter (3070-P) which was literally plug and play. We chose to install our controller in the same location as in the video but did not want to cut a hole in the panel. The wires tucked easily out of the way without cutting the hole. We towed yesterday and the trailer brakes/controller worked perfectly. Never could have done this without your video and this adapter. The picture shows our controller installed. You can’t really see the adapter since much of it is tucked under the dash.

One year later we are still towing with a perfectly working brake controller thanks to this plug and play adapter! No issues!
We have a Honda Ridgeline and this part plugged into the factory plug that was under the dash by the emergency brake petal switch. It was difficult to get to, but success was achieved. This was needed for our camper trailer. This made it easy, no hard wiring, just ordered the part for the Ridgeline and then plug and go. The brake controller plugged into the other end and now I am a happy camper. It worked, I blew a fuse while installing, must have touched something? No problem though, replaced it and was all was good.

After one year, it is nice to not even think about it. I love products that work correctly. Gives one peace of mind. This is a great product. . thanks etrailer and Tekonsha for being wonderful companies. . . jim
I gave this a 4 star just because I haven't been able to hook up the trailer yet. The Primus IQ brake controller light is on so I'm assuming it will be fine. The harness arrived in good time.
I was able to hook it up in my 2017 Honda Ridgeline in about 20 minutes. The longest part was finding the connection! It was above and left of the parking brake. A headlamp really helped. It's very tight in there so I could use only one hand and did a lot of it by feel. In the picture you need to follow the red wire to the connection.
The brake controller I mounted on the plastic in front of my right knee.

Update - Everything worked fine. We went on several trips with our trailer and no problems at all.
Super easy install. I used the adapter cable for my 22 Ridgeline and had the controller installed and operational in 20 minutes. I highly recommend the TEKONSHA PRODIGY P3 this works real well with the 7x14 COVERED WAGON we just bought. ETRAILER is the got to source for what you need for any trailer.
Given the number of install videos etrailer provides, it is hard to not have a great install. I highly recommend you watch etrailer videos before doing your install on any of their products!

My Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers was a great fit for my Honda Ridgeline and is working great.
Easy to install and worked well with brake controller we moved to our new tow vehicle. Easy to order and prompt delivery.
Hello, as requested I have attached some pics of the brake controller after installation on my 2017 Honda Ridgeline.
I have a lease vehicle so I did not want to drill any holes in the vehicle to mount or run wires. So what I did was install the mount bracket upside down and place a strong commercial velcro patch to the brake controller mount and to the tray area that it is sitting on. Then I slipped the wire harness between the crack in the IP and the lower console and tucked it up behind the dash so it could not be seen. The velcro holds the brake controller quite secure. This way I can remove the controller and reuse in my next vehicle without leaving any permanent marks or holes to this one.
Anyway , just thought I would share…
As far as the controller. I am very happy with its operation and functions.
Just bought a Prodigy 3 and on my first trip with our light weight T@B 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.
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.
I am not installing this quite yet so I tested it for mechanical and electrical integrity: It is mechanically sound; has no shorts, grounds nor opens; all circuits have proper continuity; and the plugs are correct for my brake controller and vehicle (2022 Honda Ridgeline). It is the correct length for my application. I appreciate the sheathing over the wires as it makes for a tidy installation without the need for ties.

Installation was a straight forward and simple as far as what-to-do goes. In my particular vehicle finding where to plug it in is was a challenge. Once that was located, actually getting it connected was a challenge which could be greatly facilitated if I was a contortionist. None of this is due to the productits just hard to get your arms and hands where they need to go for a 2022 Ridgeline install. Once installed the product was super easy to adjust, and likewise to tweak if necessary. It worked perfectly right out of the box. I have used it many times with no issues. I am, literally, a happy camper.
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.
I installed the Primus Brake Controller in my 2020 Ridgeline RTL and it works great. The Tekonsha Plug-in Wiring Adapter was critical to make this location of the controller possible.
Cable was just what I needed and instructions helped me find just where it needed to go.
I tried to purchase through my local business and was told that my vehicle was not wired for the brake control. They also refused to install since it was not factory wired for it. So I looked up etrailer and my vehicle info and sure enough my vehicle is factory wired and the picture you provided I was able verify the plug so I could order with confidence in a mater of 10 minutes. The unit showed up with correct wiring harness so my total install time was only 30 minutes. I can’t ask for anything more! Thank you!!!!
Package arrived a day early. Everything was plug and play. The Etrailer video helped the instal go very fast!
Very simple to install. Highly recommend this product to everyone. If you have a brake controller, don't forget to put a 20amp fuse in the fusebox for the electric brakes.

Not all vehicles will need an added fuse, but some will. Best to check to the owners manual andor the vehicle specific instructions that come with the vehicle specific brake controller harnesses we carry.
shipping was super fast, and order was accurate. I'll get to the installation in a day or two.
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.
Works perfectly in my 2021 Honda Passport with a Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Electronic Brake Control. Very good quality, very good fit. I'm very pleased.
I was happy to find this cable to make my Tekonsha brake controller plug and play!
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.

Great. I adjusted it on initial installation, and it still works fine.
eTrailer customer service agent (Bailey) is very knowledgeable and been a tremendous help in ordering the correct brake controller!
Worked as advertised and made the trailer brake controller (Tekonsha PowerTrac Electronic Brake Controller) install quick and easy.

Perfect. I tow a heavy trailer only a few times a year, and every time I do, the controller works as I expect. The controls are simple enough that I do not have to review instructions to bump the power up or down to match the trailer weight.
