Power Output and Sync Adjustment

Draw-Tite Activator IV Controls and LED Display

Power output is the maximum amount of power that will be applied to your trailer's brakes. How much braking output you need is determined by the weight of your trailer; a heavier trailer will need more power to bring it to a stop. You want to go as high as you can without the trailer brakes locking up. It adjusts on a scale of 0 to 10.


Once you have the power output set, you can fine-tune your braking by adjusting the sync control. This controls the aggressiveness of your trailer's braking, meaning how quickly the brakes reach the maximum braking level. If your vehicle takes too long to come to a stop, increase the setting. If it stops too abruptly, decrease the setting. The sync setting is shown as a number followed by the letter "o" to differentiate it from the output reading. The least aggressive sync setting is 0o and the most aggressive is 9o.


LED Display

The Activator IV displays the power settings as you adjust them. While braking, the unit will display the power output setting. To see or adjust the sync setting, step on your brake pedal and press either the plus or minus button to increase or decrease the setting.


The display will also show trouble codes to alert you to any potential problems, such as short circuits or overloads, or if there is an internal problem with the controller.


Installation

Because inertia plays no role in the functioning of this controller, you do not have to mount the unit at any particular angle. Your mounting options are limitless, so long as you can still easily access the controller and manual override. And because the included wiring harness is custom fit for your vehicle, you can just plug the controller in. No cutting or splicing needed!


Note: If you don't already have a 7-way plug at the back of your vehicle, take a look at our exclusive 7- and 4-way brake control installation kit (ETBC7 - sold separately).


Time-Delayed Braking

What is time-delayed braking

Time-delayed braking means that when you apply the brakes in your vehicle, the controller activates the trailer brakes at a pre-set intensity and rate. Both the amount of braking power (gain) and rate of application (load) can be adjusted to suit your preference, the road conditions, the type of trailer, and the weight of your load. To determine which levels are best for your application, test your towing setup and choose what feels right.

Video Transcript for DIY 2014 Dodge Durango Installation for the Draw-Tite Activator IV Trailer Brake Controller

Today on our 2014 Dodge Durango, we're going to take a look at and also show you how to install the Draw-tite Activator 4. This is a time delayed, trailer brake controller that'll work for one of the four axles. Part number is 5504. We're also going to be using the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter, part number 3045-P. The Draw-tite Activator 4 is going to be a time delayed brake controller set up. What that means is when we hit the brakes on our vehicle the brake controller is going to pick up on that and it's going to bring up the brakes on our trailer in a specified kind of a time.

We're going to time delay it fast and so it's slowly going to ramp that up. That speed is going to be dependent on how we got our sink set. You can see we've got two buttons up here in the top, plus and minus. The higher we go on that sink setting, the quicker and more aggressively our brakes are going to engage. See we can bring that down. That allows us to fine tune this for the trailer itself.

Basically, the size and the weight of the trailer in relation to the size and weight of your vehicle. We also have a gain adjustment here. You can see those are adjustable in half number increments. That allows us to fine tune for the terrain. It also allows us to fine tune the amount of braking power that we're sending back to our trailer.

On lighter trailers we want our gain to be adjusted lower. If we're on flat terrain we want our gain to be adjusted lower. As we start to raise that gain, our trailer weight is going to get heavier and heavier and our terrain is going to become more hilly. That's the amount of power being sent back to the trailer. You want to be just enough where it's not going to actually lock up the tires on the trailer, which can cause flat spotting. Get a nice manual override lever here.

As you can see we bring that all the way over maxed out and it's going to go right up to whatever we've got the maximum gain set up. In an emergency if we need to apply those trailer brake without applying the brakes in the car, we can pull that over. It's going to go right up to what we've got set and that's going to prevent us overpowering the tires on the trailer and locking them up. Another benefit of a time delayed brake controller is that you don't have to worry about mounting angles. These could be mounted in any position in any configuration. You just really want to keep in mind, you want it to be close enough where it's in arms reach and you can operate your manual override. For the first step in our installation is going to find the plug underneath the dashboard that matches our 3045-P. As you can see this is going to have a plug that will go right into the connection in the brake controller. It's going to come right from our factory connector, which this will plug into. To find that we need to look up here behind the emergency brake petal. Some vehicles are going to have a felt panel down here. You can kind of see it here. We're going to get this pulled down and out of the way. We've got two push fasteners. We've got one located right here. If we come over there would be another one right here in this area. To remove these I'm going to use a trim panel tool. You can also use a screw driver. You just want to get in behind the head of it there. Just pull down. See there. We'll pull that down and out of the way. May have a little plug here for the light. Just take that off. We'll set this aside for now. If you look right back there, it's going to be our plug. There's a zip tie holding it in place there. Let's trim that so we can get it angled up here, so we can work with it. There we go. On the back side of that plug, or right above where that plug as located, that's our brake pedal arm. We don't want to get anything back behind there so we're going to run our plug. Our brake controller's going to be going over here on the right side the steering wheel so we know we want our plug over in this location. I'm going to run this up over a few of the braces that are up here on the dashboard that way you'll have plenty of support. Got a few things we can zip tie too off of up here. That floor vent would be a good area to use there. Back on this side we're just going to plug in our two connectors. Then I'm going to bring it up and we can zip tie it off right to this wire loop. We'll bring out as much as we need here of our pig tail to make a connection with our brake controller an then we can zip tie it off right underneath here so the vent for the floor heat or for the heat that hits your feet. I'm going to go right around that using a pretty good length of zip tie and once we have that where we can get to it you see we can pull out some or be able to bring out back just depending on how our connection needs to be. We'll want that to come out there and then we can put the panel back in that we removed out earlier. All right that should work out real well for us. This is what our bracket is going to look like that we'll use to install the brake controller on our dashboard. Here's where the previous brake controller was installed. You want to kind of stay over on the right side of the dashboard. You can mount it on the left side, but when you get in and out, you run the risk of bumping your leg on it. We're going to mount right up there where the old one was. There's a little bit of a difference in those panels, so we're going to be using those small, flat washers to help accommodate for that. Then we can take our provided hardware or self-tapping screws. We can get those started there and thread it in. Now they give us a great, solid attachment point. At that point we'll bring in our brake controller. You'll have to decide whether you want it to be on the bottom set of holes or on the top set of holes. It looks like the upper set of mounting holes here give us just enough room to slide our fingers in there and get to those adjustments, so I'm going to set it there to keep it as far away from our legs as possible. Your application may be a little bit different. What I like to do is a use a little bit of electrical tape here and just wrap up the wires coming out of the controller. That's going to give us a cleaner look rather than having four different color wires, we'll just have one black wire running down. You want to simply plug those together. Just touch your manual override lever there. Make sure it's working. Then we can tuck these right back up underneath that panel. With everything working as it should, that's going to complete our installation of the Draw-tite Activator 4 trailer brake controller part number 5504. Also using the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter, part number 3054-P, both on our 2014 Dodge Durango.

  • DrawTite Activator Brake Controller 5504 Flashing Error Code
    It sounds like you installed the Draw-Tite Activator Trailer Brake Controller 5100 in a vehicle with an integrated factory brake controller. If that is the case, installing an aftermarket brake controller like the Activator will cause the instrument cluster to flash the error code you mentioned. While this can be annoying to look at, it does not interfere with proper functioning of the aftermarket brake controller. The only way to clear the code is to take the vehicle to your local dealer...

  • Troubleshooting a Draw Tite Activator Brake Controller part # 5504 that Only Displays a Dot
    Sounds like the problem lies somewhere in the brake output circuit. When a trailer is connected to the Draw Tite Activator Brake Controller part # 5504 and all that is displayed is a decimal point it means that the controller is not sensing a trailer being connected. Typically the problem lies in the trailer connectors. Usually there is corrosion on this circuit that prevents the circuit from being completed. Check both the inside and outside of the connector for corrosion or exposed...

Is the decimal point always on the display or only while you're pressing down on the brake pedal.

  • Why is my Brake Controller Reading Overload and How Can I Find Where the Problem is?
    If your controller, item # 5504, is reading overload without the trailer connected then that means there is a short in the blue trailer feed wire on the vehicle. If the controller is reading overload only when the trailer is connected then there is a short or overload in the trailer wiring or breaks. Use a circuit tester, item # 3808 if you need one, to test the wiring to find out where the short is. If it is on the trailer end and you cannot find a wiring problem then the problem may...

  • Where is the Brake Switch Wire on a 2014 GMC Savana Van to Install a Brake Controller
    I can tell you were to access the correct brake switch wire to install a brake controller on your 2014 GMC Savana Van. You will need to access the wire behind the BCM (body control module) located behind the dash on the passenger's side of the vehicle. There should be a brown connector coming out of the back of the BCM. At that connector you should find a light blue/white wire. This is the wire that carriers the dedicated brake light signal. Use a circuit tester such as # PTW2993 to confirm...

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Wiring That Stopped Working on 2005 Chevy Silverado
    I'd check the backside of the connector for the condition of the wiring. Most likely something damaged some wiring if several of the circuits just stopped but one is left working. Another possibility is corrosion on the pins of your 7-way. You can try cleaning them with sandpaper. Or you can also check the trailer wiring fuses underhood to see if you can find any blown fuses.

  • Replacement for Malfunctioning Draw-Tite Activator Trailer Brake Controller
    Based on your description of the problem with your Draw-Tite brake controller I suspect an internal fault within the controller itself. There is a chance that the red input signal wire could be loose, and this would cause the unit to stop generating output, but it would not explain the varying power level displayed. That specific issue makes me think that the internal circuitry has finally given up the ghost and the controller needs to be replaced. I recommend the # 5504 in its place....

  • Meaning of Flashing OL Code on Draw-Tite Activator Brake Controller
    The OL code on your Draw Tite Activator # 5504 has a different meaning depending on if the trailer is connected or not, but in both situations it indicates an overload or a short on a wire. If the OL code is flashing without the trailer connected, then the short is in the Blue wire from the back of the controller. You'll want to trace this wire starting at the brake controller back to your vehicle's 7-Way to find the damaged or pinched section of wire that is causing the short and repair...

  • Is etrailer or EcoHitch Better for a 2021 Subaru Ascent
    Hey Sergi, thanks for reaching out! Go with the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e55ZR. There are some subtle differences in design but really what the price difference amounts to is the EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7381 was really the first of it's kind on the market, but then other companies started coming out with their own designs like it and TorkLift/EcoHitch still thinks that their design is much more superior to everything else on the market...which it isn't.

  • Parts Needed to Install Brake Controller in 2019 Subaru Ascent
    Yes, Tekonsha released the part # 3062-P which is a brake controller install harness that fits your 2019 Subaru Ascent and would work well. I attached a picture that shows where you'll find it on your vehicle too. For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller part # 90195. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle...

  • 7-Way And Brake Controller For A 2020 Subaru Ascent
    Hi Daryl! Getting the correct brake controller will depend on if your 2020 Subaru Ascent has the factory towing package or not. If you are unsure, you will want to contact a local Subaru dealer with your VIN and they can tell you. If you do have that tow package, you will want to start with the following parts: Tekonsha OEM Replacement Vehicle Wiring Harness with 7-Way Trailer Connector # 118290 Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers - Dual Plug In # 3062-P Redarc...

  • Recommended Brake Controller for a 2019 Subaru Ascent
    Yes, you will need a brake controller. To add one to your 2019 Subaru Ascent, I recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller item # RED24FR. This is a proportional brake controller that activates your trailer's brakes when your Subaru decelerates. It has a unique installation method where the only visible portion is the control knob that's about the size of a nickel. The main unit is hidden away inside your dash to be completely out of the way and out of sight. If you have the...

    There are two different 7-way trailer wiring harnesses for a 2019 Subaru Ascent dependent on whether or not you have the factory tow package.

  • Why is the Curt Echo Blowing Fuses in a 2020 Subaru Ascent?
    The Curt Echo # C51180 does require a 30 amp fuse, so that will definitely fix that issue. This is used fairly often and this does happen, but I cannot say if this will be bad for the vehicle or not. However, if a Subaru dealer said not to do it and it is a leased vehicle, I would follow that direction. With all that being said, I do suggest going to a brake controller that mounts inside your vehicle. From everything you mentioned, I assume you have the factory towing package, which means...

  • Installing Prodigy P3 and Adapter Plug on a 2019 Subaru Ascent
    According to the instructions for the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter # 3062-P for your Prodigy P3 # 90195 the plug should be located up under your driver's side dash by the left side kick panel (see attached photo). The wring adapter doesn't come with a fuse as it has a ground wire and the OEM factory tow package wiring should be protected. If you didn't have factory tow package wiring then you need to hardwire the P3 in and you would use a 30A circuit breaker from the battery to the...

I have not yet seen a factory brake controller pigtail for the Subaru Ascent but it's unlikely to contain a fuse as fuse protection needs to be close to the battery.

  • Brake Controller Recommendation and Install for 2020 Subaru Ascent
    I'd give the Tekonsha item # 90195 the edge for ease of use. The full LCD display provides the status of your braking system at a glance, while the item # RED44FR Redarc Tow Pro Elite uses colored LED's to indicate problems. The display of the P3 is much more intuitive and user-friendly. However, some folks absolutely hate the appearance of a typical brake controller and want it to be as hidden as possible. If you fall into that camp, the Redarc Tow Pro Elite might be a better choice. Performance...

    The 2021 Subaru Ascent that came from the factory with their tow package actually has a port under the dash where you can plug the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite # RED44FR directly into with an adapter. The Tekonsha Pigtail # 3062-P would plug directly into said port. You will also need the Redarc to Tekonsha adapter # 331-TPH-017 to complete the install.

    The location to plug the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter part # 3062-P is just above the driver's side kick panel just behind the hood release latch mounting block. It will be wrapped in black (most often) tape to keep it clean and free of debris. It will be taped up to another main harness and this is likely causing your issue. Please see the attached photo for the exact location.

  • Where to Connect Red Wire During Installation of RedArc Tow Pro Elite on 2021 Subaru Outback
    During the installation of the RedArc Tow Pro Elite # RED44FR, the red wire you're referencing goes to the brake light switch on the back of the brake pedal. You will need a circuit tester like the # PTW2993 to confirm which wire corresponds to that wire when the brake pedal is pressed. I've also linked an installation video of a RedArc Tow Pro Elite on an older Subaru but the process and setup behind the pedal should be fairly close.
