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 junction box beneath your 's dashboard.
Features:
This adapter plugs into the port that is built into the electric junction box beneath your vehicle's dash. The black box is located to the left of the steering column, just above the carpet. To plug in the adapter, first remove the cover on the box. The adapter plugs into the second slot from the left, on the top row.
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 junction box beneath your vehicle's dashboard.Very easy to install and setup. Came with very simple instructions and my old controller bracket was the exact same as this one!
the wiring adapter was good length to reach from the wiring terminal under the dash to the top of the dash where I mounted my brake controller.
David - 02/12/2023Was looking at another system and the website recommended another one (which is the one I bought) and included the additional wiring harness to plug directly into my vehicle. No wiring, just plug and play. One of the easiest and best setups I've ever done! Thank you for your help.
Plugs for both ends fit just right. Using this adapter eliminated having to splice the cord from the Brake Control Unit to the GM supplied plug you get with the Trailering Package. Much more professional.
The only improvement would be to make it at least 6" longer. I placed the unit under the dash near the center of the dash and the cable just made it.
Shipping was fast, the controller was easy to install and the etrailer wiring harness made it easy to complete the installation
Retroron - 02/12/2018I ordered this brake controller about a week ago and received it today (4-18-20).
Im always working on things and my old lady gets bored, so today was sort of our day! Well i decided id make a bet, 20 bucks i can have it installed in 15 minutes!! She agreed and the race was on!! I ran out, grabbed my drill, a small drill bit, a hex head bit, and got to work! I opted for the removable bracket for worry somebody may break in and steal it.
It marked two holes, drilled them with a very small bit, and then screwed the proveded screws in, i then popped the brake controller in, ran the wiring ( sepratly provided
by etrailer.com, for my specific vehicle, a 2004 gmc yukon)above everything to the plug box under the dash, plugged it in, put the cover back on, and wallah!! 15 minutes exactly!
This thing looks great, works great, and is priced great!
I know this isn’t a pic of the item, BUT it wouldn’t have been possible without. Plug and Play. I bought this because we bought a trailer from a dealer and they required the truck to have trailer brakes. This plugs in under dash, if your truck has 7 pin. I did it without checking to make sure it was activated. Went to dealer, 130 miles away and 4000 feet in elevation to pu trailer. As I was pulling out and first hit brakes the trailer locked up. (There is an adjustment device, that purchased separately, or in a kit pugs into wiring harness that plugs into truck to activate trailer brakes). So I adjusted it and everything worked beautifully. Oh my gosh I have pulled trailers for years but never a TT. Tons of car trailers but never with brakes. Brakes are awesome when going over passes of 5k elevation.
THIS COMPANY ROCKS. The only issues I have had with this company is my own ordering fault. I have used them for years and indirect people to them.
THANK YOU.
Easy to install. If there wants an improvement I would make it a little longer to provide more options for locating the controller.
Fit my application as advertised, looks to be good quality, delivery time was excellent.
Jim - 08/14/2023Easy install, just plug it in, use the 2 self tapping screws for the mounting bracket, mount the controller with 2 screws, a couple of tie straps, DONE Instructions for use very clear.
I was so stressed out trying to figure out what I had signed myself up for. I saw your video. Ordering the parts was idiot proof, and the installation was so easy an completely no-nothing girl installed it less than 30 minutes. Will definitely be looking to you all the next time I need something. Thank you!
Victoria - 04/02/2023His help was spot on! Enjoyed his knowledge regarding the brake controller!
Roosevelt - 04/07/2023Amazing product. Easy to use and good display. The wire harness to make it plug and go. Make easy for anyone to install.
The plug In adapter has worked flawlessly. I would definitely buy again.
Installed myself in about 30 minutes. 06 Silverado crew cab. Fit right up to factory fitting that was hidden up on top of the spare tire.
Just like always from etrailer, the right product, right on time, and right on the money.
Received in a timely fashion. Upon installation, no power. I have sent two different e-mails trying to get support with no reply over the last two weeks.
Looks like a good product, would just like to get a response to get it working.
Plug and play simple ae it gets
Keith - 03/14/2023Concerning this wire adapter, I was pleasantly impressed that the wiring was covered in a black wiring loom, very professional looking. With this wiring adapter it makes it extremely easy to connect it to the trucks built in trailer plug as well to the brake controller.
bryant m - 12/17/2021Was the correct part, plugged right into my 2005 Chevy Silverado fuse box for easy plug & play.
Easily installed and works great on all my trailers
Easy install, works great on my 2004 GMC 1500.
