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 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.

  • Troubleshooting Hopkins Impulse Trailer Brake Controller Error Message OE
    The troubleshooting guide for the Hopkins Impulse trailer brake controller does not list an error code "OE" but if the unit displays a flashing code "SC" this indicates a short on the brake output circuit or a defective brake magnet, which is unlikely on a new Aliner. Those error codes can sometimes be difficult to read. My Hopkins contact said much older versions has error codes E1, E2, E3 but not OE. I suggest taking a close look at your Tacoma's trailer connector. Corrosion issues on...

  • Location of Factory Trailer Brake Controller Harness on a 2007 Toyota Tacoma with Tow Package
    The factory harness to plug in a brake controller wiring harness on your 2007 Toyota Tacoma is located underneath and left of the steering column, taped to another harness near the emergency brake pedal. There will be a 5-pin connector that mates with the one on the adapter, # 3040-P. The harness does include an additional ground (white) wire that will need to be attached to a bare metal surface. The P2 is a proportional controller that applies the trailer brakes in proportion to how much...

  • Brake Controller Install Harness Location for Prodigy P2 in a 2015 Toyota Tacoma
    To install the Prodigy P2 part # 90885 in your 2015 Toyota Tacoma the install harness part # 3040-P is the correct one to use. The plug in a Tacoma is extremely well hidden. It is high above the driver's side kick panel taped behind a plug wrapped in foam. I have attached a photo to help you locate it in a late model Tacoma. It's the white connector.

  • Install Harness for Redarc Tow Pro in 2006 Toyota 4Runner with Factory Wiring
    To install a Tow Pro Elite Brake Controller like part # RED44FR in your 2006 Toyota 4Runner the correct custom install wiring kit is the part # 3040-P with the adapter # 331-TPH-017 which plugs into the port under the dash of your vehicle and the other end will plug directly into your controller.

  • Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2008 Toyota Sequoia Towing Trailer
    The Timbren kit part # TTORSEQ1 that you referenced is the correct fit for your 2008 Toyota Sequoia and would give you additional suspension support when towing. That said I wouldn't necessarily recommend this kit unless you were planning to be towing most of the time as it would make the ride quality a bit harsher when not towing. The better option if you are concerned about ride quality is the part # F4164 which allows you to use varying air pressure in the bag so that you can tailor...

  • Difference Between Prodigy P2 and Redarc Tow Pro Liberty Brake Controller 2011 Toyota Sequoia
    The braking is going to be about the exact same between the Prodigy P2 part # 90885 and the Redarc Tow Pro Liberty part # RED52VR. The main difference will be that the Redarc only puts a small know on your dash and the P2 is a traditional brake controller that is much bigger. To install either controller you'd need the install harness part # 3040-P. For how much cleaner of an install the Redarc provides that would be the route I would go with. For tow mirrors the K-Source set part # KS81300...

  • Brake Controller Installation in 2015 Toyota Tacoma
    The # 3040-P is indeed the correct brake control wiring adapter for your 2015 Tacoma. Due to the presence of the knee airbag, the preferred location to the right of the steering column might not be feasible. If there's not a suitable location to the right of the steering column where the controller could be mounted so that it's parallel to the direction of travel, you'll need to consider an alternate spot. If you watch one of the videos I've linked you to, you can see the controller being...

  • Where to Connect Brake Controller Adapter in on a 2014 Toyota Tacoma with Factory 7-Way
    If your 2014 Toyota Tacoma came with the Factory 7-Way then you will want to look next to the driver side kick panel for the wiring harness. I have attached a video of the Tekonsha P2 # 90885 being installed on a 2012 Tacoma that you can reference. This installation video shows the Plug-In Wiring Adapter # 3040-P being installed for the P2 which will be the same as Curt Adapter # C51362 for your Curt brake controller. If your connector is not located there then let me know and I can...

  • Brake Controller Installation on 2011 Toyota Tundra
    If your 2011 Tundra has the factory tow package, which includes the factory installed 7-way trailer connector on the rear bumper, it will be equipped with the tow package plug under the dash, as shown in the photo I've edited for you. Some models with the factory 4-pole (or 4-pin) trailer connector will also have the plug under the dash, you'll need to look for a white plug located above and to the left of the emergency brake pedal, above the toe kick. Occasionally, the plug will be located...

  • Recommended Brake Controller for 2007 Toyota 4Runner with Weight Distribution System Sway Control
    For your 2007 Toyota 4Runner, the Prodigy P3 # 90195 is what I recommend for your brake controller. If you have the factory 7-way, then you will simply use wiring harness # 3040-P and you'll be ready to go. If you don't have the factory 7-way then you will need to hardwire the controller using # 5506 if you have a 7-way or # ETBC7 if you need to add a 7-way. I've attached a couple videos to assist.

  • Location Of Brake Controller Connector In 2003 Toyota Land Cruiser
    If your Land Cruiser was equipped with the factory installed 7-way trailer connector at the rear bumper, it will have the brake controller connector located under the dashboard. The connector will be taped to another wiring harness somewhere near the top of the emergency brake pedal. The connector will likely be covered with tape, so it could be difficult to locate. If you find a big ball of tape wrapped around a wiring harness, you've probably found it. The # 3040-P you've referenced is...

  • Recommended Trailer Brake Controller and Wiring Needed for 2000 Toyota 4Runner
    For your 2000 Toyota 4Runner, I recommend the Tekonsha Voyager Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 4 Axles - Proportional # 39510 with the Brake Control Plug-In Harness # 20127. This is the best controller under the price point you are seeking. Then for your wiring, if you already have a 7-way connector you can use the kit # 5506. If you have a 4-way then you will use the # ETBC7 kit which comes with the 7-way adapter and wiring. If you don't have a 4-way, then you will need that first and...

  • What Parts are Need to Install a 7-Way on a 2007 Toyota Tundra
    If your truck came with a factory 4-Way connector, you will need to use part # ETBC7 to add a 7-Way at the rear of the truck. You will plug the lead off the 7-Way into your pre-existing 4-Pole. You will then have to hardwire the other 4 loose leads. White is grounded to truck frame, black is ran to the battery with the included 40amp breaker wired in line. Blue is run up to the cab on the truck and is connected to the blue wire on your brake controller. The purple wire is for reverse lights....

  • Parts Needed to Install P3 Brake Controller in 2017 Toyota Highlander
    If you have a factory 7-way on your 2017 Toyota Highlander you'd have to hardwire the controller to the vehicle as there isn't a factory port, but if you didn't have a factory 7-way we offer a solution that fits your vehicle and comes with a plug that attaches directly to the back of your P3 part # 90195 with the 7-Way kit part # 22119. For a wiring kit to install the brake controller to a factory 7-way you would want the Wiring Kit for 2 and 4 Brake Electric Brake Controllers # 5506....

  • Equalizer or Blue Ox Weight Distribution for 7,500 lb Trailer
    Between Equalizer and Blue Ox I would go with the Equalizer hands down. Equalizer systems are among the nicest systems you can use. The Blue Ox systems work decently but in terms of sway reduction, ease of install, and reliability the Equalizer is the way to go. You would want the part # EQ37120ET which would work great on your trailer that weighs 7,500 lbs. It comes with a hitch ball but you would need the thin walled socket part # ALL643216 to install it.

  • Will LED Light on TK63VR Tekonsha BRAKE-EVN Drain Vehicle Battery?
    Brake controllers like your Tekonsha # TK63VR are wired so that they have a direct connection to the vehicle battery. This is done as a safety measure, so the user doesn't accidently forget to turn on the brake controller when towing. After a between 10 and 20 minutes of inactivity, a brake controller will go into a sleep mode, where they are just about completely powered down. At this point the amount of power they draw is so tiny that you'd need to leave the vehicle unattended for a...

  • P2 Brake Controller Installation Recommendation for a 2013 Toyota Tundra
    For your 2013 Toyota Tundra there are two possible scenarios. Either you have a 4-way trailer connector at the rear of your vehicle, which in this case you would need to get the Brake Controller Installation Kit # ETBC7. Or you have a factory 7-way trailer connector which means all you would need to do is use the Brake Controller Harness # 3040-P and you would be ready to go. I attached installation videos and installation instructions for both possible brake controller installation scenarios. The...

One end of the adapter will plug into the brake controller itself and the other end plugs into the factory port behind the Tundra's dash.

If you have the accessory panels on your truck you can also use the Mounting Panel # 331-TPSI-007 to give your install a custom look.

The 2010 Toyota Highlander does not have a connector under the dash for the Tekonsha Wire Replacement for Toyota and Lexus Vehicles, item # 3040-P. In addition to the brake controller you will need a 4-Way connector. The Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, item # 118449, is the correct harness for your Highlander.

  • Where to Attach the Extra Brake Controller Wire Harness Ground Wire on a 2006 Toyota Tundra TRD 4X4
    You will need to connect the extra ground wire to a good clean, paint, rust and corrosion free part of the vehicle chassis. If you can find an existing ground stud under the vehicle dash this would be a good choice. If not use a self-tapping screw of the appropriate size to attach the ground wire to a solid point under the dash, making sure not to drill into any existing wiring, moving parts or an exterior panel of the vehicle. A good way to check the ground location is to use a circuit...
