Specs:
The Pro Series Pilot comes equipped with time-delayed braking. Every time you apply the brakes in your vehicle, a signal is sent - via the brake switch - to the Pilot. The controller then sends power out to your trailer brakes to activate them with an intensity set by you, at a rate determined by you. The amount of braking power (output) 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.
Braking 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 set the braking output as high as you can without locking up the brakes. Once you've set up the brake controller the first time, you shouldn't need to adjust the settings until the trailer load changes, you switch trailers, or road conditions change. Use the thumbwheel on the side to change the braking output level. The output setting will appear as a number on the digital display, with a higher number indicating higher braking power.
The Pro Series Pilot keeps the manual override within easy reach on the front of the module, great for stopping sway or controlling your trailer's momentum in emergencies. Push the slide-bar to activate the trailer's brakes and brake lights without you having to apply the brakes on your tow vehicle, perfect for limiting trailer movement while you're cruising.
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. The Pilot is especially flexible; its microprocessor allows the controller to even be mounted upside down, and it will still give you a readable display. The Pilot can go wherever you need it. Plus, the included wiring adapter eases installation overall. The custom connector end plugs into the port on your vehicle and the other end plugs into the controller.
You can use etrailer's exclusive 7- and 4-way brake control installation kit (ETBC7 - sold separately) if you don't already have a 7-way plug at the back of your vehicle.

Today this 2005 Ford Expedition were going to install part number TK90160 from Tekonsha. This is a primus brake controller. Were also going to use the adapter cord, part number 3635-P, also from Tekonsha. Well go ahead and start off by working with this part. Well plug into a towing port thats underneath the dash. In this case its behind the data port, alongside the wires that goes to it.
Its a gray connector so well take our adapter cord and plug into that. Well leave that alone for now. Now well go ahead and take the bracket for our primus brake controller. Well go ahead and attach it to the dash at the bottom part, but still within easy reach. Now well take our adapter cord, well plug into the brake controller and then attach the brake controller to the bracket.
With our brake controller attached you can see we have power going to the brake controller. We have two dots. Youll also see a NC for no connection. Well go ahead and hook up a trailer to it and you can see a C for connection. Well go ahead and remove the manual override and you can see how the numbers go up and down.
It looks like everything is working. Thatll finish it for part number TK90160 from Tekonsha, the primus brake controller on our 2005 Ford Expedition.
