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 Review of the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers-3050-P

Hola neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer, and today, we're taking a look at the Tekonsha Trailer Wiring Harness Adapter for your Tekonsha brake controller on a Nissan or Infiniti SUV. So this is gonna work with your Armada and also your Q series SUVs, and it's gonna work pretty easily by simply just plugging into the factory tow package, and this other end is gonna allow you to plug into your Tekonsha or Draw-Tite style brake controller, making this a plug and play installation super easy. Now, if you have a Tekonsha brake controller like we have here, we have a Prodigy P2, they have a very similar connector to a bunch of the different Tekonsha brake controllers as well as the Draw-Tite. And this harness is gonna allow us to simply snap this into place here, and then this portion will plug in directly to our tow package, which is gonna be located under the dash. Now, to find your plug, it's gonna be pretty easy. Now, I have this portion of our panel dropped down, you don't need to do that, I'm just doing this to make it a little bit easier for you to find it.

And what you're gonna be looking for is kind of right at the steering column, you're gonna see that we have just the steering column here, but also, a white plastic box here. And you're gonna reach for a thick wire loom, and taped to it is going to be a white plug, and this white plug is gonna correspond with the other side of our harness here. So pretty simple, we'll just plug this in. And as soon as I plug that in, you can see that we have NC, which is not connected to our trailer, but we have power to our brake controller, so all that's really left to do is get this mounted up underneath our dash and we're ready to go. So this is super easy if you have that factory tow package to get your brake controller working properly.

Now, this is gonna be compatible with time delayed brake controllers, so that's gonna be your Draw-Tite Activators as well as the Tekonsha PowerTrac, and also, proportional brake controllers including the Prodigies as well as the Primus and the Voyager. So if you're looking to get your Tekonsha or Draw-Tite brake controller hooked up then start to tow with those trailer brakes, this is gonna be a super easy quick way to get that ready to go and you'll be towing in no time. So overall, this maybe takes about five minutes to get installed, and it's just, again, a plug and play, easy way to get it hooked up. And that was a look at the Tekonsha Brake Controller Wire Harness Adapter..

  • 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...

  • Troubleshooting ER Code on Draw Tite Activator Brake Controller
    I wish I had better news, but the ER code means that there is an internal problem on the Draw Tite Activator part # 5504 and that it needs to be replaced. For a new brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. 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 is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the...

  • Troubleshooting A Draw-Tite Activator IV Trailer Brake Controller That Won't Sense The Trailer
    Hey Phil, Are you hitting the manual override when you're testing the output of your Draw-Tite Activator IV Trailer Brake Controller # 5504 or are you just hitting the brake pedal? Is the decimal point always on the display or only while you're pressing down on the brake pedal. If you are seeing the decimal point all the time then you have the red wire from the brake controller harness spliced into the wrong wire for the sold side of the brake light switch. LED lights don't really have...

  • Factory Brake Controller Port Location on 2017 Nissan Titan
    To install the Draw-Tite Activator Trailer Brake Controller # 5504 that you referenced to your 2017 Nissan Titan, all you will need is the Plug-In Wiring Adapter # 3050-P if the truck is equipped with the factory 7-Way. One end of the harness will plug into the brake controller itself, while the other end will connect directly to the factory port on your Nissan Titan. The factory brake controller port should be located behind the dash, on the left hand side by the emergency brake pedal....

    On your 2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac the factory plug for your brake controller will be located under the dash, on the left side of the steering wheel, just above your left leg. The wiring adapter you will need to connect the Draw-Tite Brake Controller # 5504 to your vehicle is the Draw-Tite Brake Control Wiring Adapter # 3035-S.

  • 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....

  • Troubleshooting Poor Brake Performance and Low Brake Output Voltage
    First thing I would check is the blue wire that is at the rear of your vehicle for voltage when you apply the brakes and when you slide the manual override of this controller. You could also try sliding the manual override a few times and adjusting the gain knob up and down to help clear the contact points. I attached a link to the manufacturers instructions for your Draw-Tite Brake Controller, part # 5504, below for you to check out also. If all this checks out it sounds like the problem...

  • Troubleshooting a Tekonsha Draw-Tite Activator
    It sounds like there is either a problem with the wiring of your Activator Brake Controller # 5504, the wiring of your vehicle/trailer 7-way or the # 5504 is bad. The first thing to check will be the 7-way of your vehicle. You will want to visually inspect the front and back of the connector looking for loose wiring or corrosion and fix as necessary. Next, you will want to test the brake output circuit of the 7-way with a circuit tester, like our # PT89ZR, for the correct voltage when...

    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.

You need the one that shows a signal ONLY when the brake pedal is pressed.

Check out the video that I made showing you how the brake controller should function without a trailer connected.

    Hi Vincent; have you tried checking the voltage at the brakes with a circuit tester # PTW2993? Perhaps one side has a weak ground compared to the other or for whatever other reason isn't getting the same amount of power.

I've linked a video that shows the install on a 2010 Titan for you. The process is the same. With a trailer that large it's likely to hve brakes so you need a brake controller. I...

  • How Long is the Electric Brake Controller Pigtail Adapter For Tekonsha Brake Controllers
    I went out to the warehouse and pulled the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers, # 3050-P and found that it is 31-3/4 inches long overall, including the connectors.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver, Wiring, and Weight Distribution for 2013 Nissan Armada 4x4
    For your 2013 Nissan Armada, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13188. This will be able to tow your trailer with 1 horse without weight distribution, but you will most likely need the weight distribution system for 2 or 3 horses. It will also help with sway control, so I would use it no matter the number of horses. For your wiring, if you don't have the factory 7 way, I recommend the Vehicle Wiring Harness Kit with 4 Pole Trailer Connector # C59236 along with the # ETBC7...

  • Availability of Wiring Harness for 2024 Nissan Pathfinder Rock Creek Using Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty
    Hey Charles! Redarc doesn't have a specific wiring harness but you can still make the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty # RED52VR you ordered plug and play. I see you ordered the Tekonsha # 3050-P as well. This will plug into the factory port under your dash but it won't fit into the Liberty. You will also need the Redarc Tow-Pro Wiring Adapter for Tekonsha Brake Controller Harness # 331-TPH-017 to make the two compatible. What kind of trailer will you be towing?

  • Should I Get a Proportional or Time-Delayed Brake Controller
    The best brake controller option to go with is one that activates the brakes proportionally instead of time delayed. A proportional brake controller will activate the trailer brakes at the same time and with the same intensity as the tow vehicle brakes whereas a time delayed brake controller will activate the brakes at a predetermined time and intensity once the brake pedal is pressed in the tow vehicle. This can cause uneven wear of the brakes and tires. Proportional brake controllers...

  • Recommended Trailer Harness Wiring For 1996 Ford F-250 To Tow Fifth Wheel Trailer
    There are a few scenarios here. If you have a factory-installed 4-way connector then that makes a difference down the road when installing a brake controller. There may be a brake controller port under the dash on your F-250 and an adapter can be used with a brake controller. The first thing you want to do is find out if your 4-way connector is operational. If it is working, that may save you some money. You can use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 for that. Have someone sit in the...
