• Where to Connect Black Wire from Prodigy P2 Brak Controller
  Hey Rafael, The black wire for the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller # 90885 needs to be connected to a constant 12V power source. If your vehicle doesn't have an OEM 12V power source wire then we recommend running a length of 10 Gauge Wire # 10-1-1 from the black wire to your battery positive terminal. Be sure to put a 30A Circuit Tester # PK54230 in-line with the wire to help protect both the controller and your battery.

• Recommended Brake Controller For A 2019 Lincoln Nautilus
  Hey Gary, For your 2019 Lincoln Nautilus I recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller w/ Universal Wiring Harness # RED52VR. This brake controller has a super small control knob that you can hide in the dash instead of a brick to hit your knee on. You'll want to check the trim panel below the steering column for a spot big enough for the control knob (1-7/8" long x 9/16" wide x 3/4" tall) to sit plus an extra inch or so in depth for the cable. You'll probably have to grind...

  Hey Kenneth, The Tekonsha P3 # 90195 is a universal fit so it would work with your motorhome.

• Recommended Wire And Circuit Breaker For 12V Pin On Trailer 7-Way Connector
  For your 12V wiring to your 7-way, we have people running many different things off that 12V wire. 12 gauge or even better 10 gauge ensures that the power is transferred timely and accurately. We have a kit for brake controllers and 12V wiring for the 7-ways # 5506 that we've used for years. It uses 10 gauge wire and has a 20 amp, 30 amp and 40 amp circuit breaker. Normally the 30 amp # PK54230 or the 40 amp # 9510 is what we recommend with the 10 gauge wire # 10-1-1 for your application.

• Wiring A Trailet Horse Trailer For Lights, Fans, And An Electric Trailer Jack
  All clearance lights, tail lights, and the camera should run through to the 7-way connector junction box so that they are powered when connected to the tow vehicle. The breakaway switch will also need to be ran to this junction box in order to activate the brake assemblies in the event of a breakaway. The fans and any internal lights or appliances should be ran to a DC distribution panel and then ran to the trailer battery for power. A small DC distribution panel can be picked up from...

• How to Install a Brake Controller on a 2002 Chevy Express Van
  We would be happy to explain how to install a brake controller like # 5504 or # 90885 on your 2002 Chevrolet Express Van but there isn't a pig tail that will fit your van. You will need to hardwire in the brake controller. If your van came with a factory 7-Way trailer connector the blue output brake wire already ran from the back to the front. It is located under the dash near the emergency brake pedal. But the other 3 brake controller wires will need to be hard wired in. The white...

• Wiring a 12 Volt Charge Line For a 2017 Ford Expedition
  I recommend running a 12 Gauge Wire # 12-1-1 that we offer by the foot to the front of your 2017 Ford Expedition. In line you will place a Circuit Breaker # PK54230 and use Heat Shrink Ring Terminals # DW05740-1 to connect the wire to the circuit breaker. This is best placed in the engine compartment to keep it away from water and corrosion. The circuit breaker will provide up to 30 amps of power, if power does exceed the 30 amps the breaker will trip and automatically try to reset. This...

• How to Protect Circuit Breakers and Electrical Connections on a Trailer
  I strongly recommend protecting any circuit breakers, including the Pollak 30-Amp Auto Reset Circuit Breaker, # PK54230, from the elements. Corrosion and road grime can build up on the terminals and cause problems. We typically use junction boxes, like part # PK52249, to protect electrical contacts on a trailer. These boxes have rubber grommets in the access holes for wires to keep water and dirt out. They can bolt to any surface strong enough to hold a plastic box.

• Which Value Circuit Breaker for Installing Primus IQ Brake Controller TK90160
  When hardwiring a trailer brake controller like the Tekonsha Primus IQ # TK90160 either a 20-amp or 30-amp circuit breaker will provide operating power for the controller itself. The choice depends on whether the trailer has one braked axle (use the 20-amp value # PK54520) or if it has two or three braked axles (use a 30-amp breaker # PK54230). The breaker should be mounted on the firewall, reasonably close to the battery positive terminal. The copper-colored terminal on the breaker connects...

• Does the Pollak Cycling Auto Reset Circuit Breaker Prevent Backfeed
  That's a good question, but the answer is no, the 30 amp Circuit Breaker - Cycling Auto Reset # PK54230 does not prevent backfeed in the same manner as a diode. To prevent backfeeding, what you can use is exactly what you mentioned, a diode, the Roadmaster Single Park Light Diode # RM-690. I have added a link below to a video review of the circuit breaker for you to check out as well if you'd like.

• Circuit Breaker Size for Brake Controller Install Towing 2 and 3 Axle Trailers
  If you planned to tow both a 2 axle and a 3 axle trailer you'd want to just use a 30 amp breaker like the part # PK54230. It wouldn't be necessary to go down to a lower rated breaker when towing the 2 axle trailer.

• Wiring Installation for Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Brake Controller on 2017 Chevy Silverado
  If you are using the blunt cut wires on the harness that comes with the P3 # 90195 then you will want to use a 30 amp circuit breaker # PK54230 for the black hot lead coming from your battery to your brake controller. You can use # 12-1-1 wire sold by the foot for that connection. If you will be hardwiring this controller to a 7-way, I recommend kit # 5506. Because you stated you have a 2017 Silverado, I recommend instead using the custom wiring harness # 3016 which will be a plug and...

• Prodigy P2 Brake Controller Installation in 2015 Land Rover Range Rover
  It sounds like you are hardwiring your Prodigy P2 # 90885 trailer brake controller.

The white ground wire also of course must be connected to the battery negative terminal. You can refer to the linked article on brake controller installation to see the complete wiring scheme.

If you are doing a hard-wired installation the four wires from the Voyager will connect to the truck wiring as follows: Controller Black wire (12V...

• Plugged In Electric Fireplace And Lost Power To Two Axle Wildwood Trailer
  It sounds to me like you may have overloaded your trailer's circuit by plugging those two heaters in at the same time. What I recommend you do is install a 30 amp circuit breaker like # PK54230. This will protect your trailer's electrical circuits from situations like that happening again. A couple good "rule of thumb" suggestions is to plug appliances directly into outlets, not extensions cords. Extension cords add receptacles to plug into but do not change the amount of power being received...

• Best Type of Trailer Brake Controller for Use on 1999 Honda Gold Wing 1500
  Brake controllers for trailer brakes are not vehicle-specific but due to the necessary method of installing one on a motorcycle (in whatever available space you might have) means that a time-delay type will be better than a proportional controller. Time-delay type units like the Draw-Tite Activator IV # 5504 do not require the specific mounting angle/orientation that is essential for proper operation of proportional units like the Prodigy P2 # 90885. Brake controllers use 4 wires for hookup....
