Arrives before Christmas To see if this custom-fit item will work for you please tell us what vehicle you'll use it with.
This stout brake controller has easy-to-reach button controls up front and a simple slide-lever manual override. The digital display is large and easy to read. And the included harness lets you just plug the controller right into your vehicle.
Features:
Specs:
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.
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 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.

Speaker 1: Today on our 2017 Ram 2500, we're gonna be taking a look at and installing part number 3024-P, which is a Tekonsha plug in wiring adaptor for electric brake controllers. Now we're gonna be installing this in conjunction with the Tekonsha prodigy P3 trailer brake controller, part number 90195. Now, our adaptor harness here is gonna make wiring up our brake controllers, much easier. All we're gonna have to do is plug into the existing port underneath our dash and then plug this in, into our brake controller.Now, it's gonna work with several different kinds of brake controllers. Whether it be, time activated controller or a proportional brake controller. This adaptor is gonna make our life much easier when installing, and we're not gonna have to run wires all the way from the back of our vehicle at the 7-Way, all the way up front.Now, we're gonna need to go underneath our dash to find our factory port.
Now, it's gonna be on the drivers side, underneath the right hand side of our dash. So, if we come to our gas pedal and go straight up, we're gonna be looking for a port, or a plug that looks similar to this, but it's gonna be the opposite. It's gonna fit inside of here, and it's gonna be a four prong plug.Now, if we reach up, and we pull down, we're gonna have two plugs. Now, this white one with the four prongs is gonna be the one we want, but it is taped to this other plug, just for reference, you know where we're at. Now, we can take our harness, we can take the plug, and we're gonna insert it until it locks into place.
Now, we're gonna take the other end, and we're gonna plug it into our brake controller. Now, all we have left is to tuck up our wires under our dash and secure them, so they don't get in the way or obstruct our pedals.With everything tucked up, and our trailer hooked up, we're ready to hit the road. And then I'll finish up our look at the Tekonsha plug-in wire adaptor for electric brake controllers, on our 2017 Ram 2500.
Worked great!
It plugged in and worked as advertised,Thank you so much,
Fantastic brake controller. Even better website.
Great controller, we install it on almost every system we do.
Good overall product. Meets needs and is inexpensive.
this controller is great. etrailer delivery, packaging, pricing were ALL great...
Love it.... Installed in my 2011 chevy in about 5 min and it works great. Recommend to anyone
Works great, very easy to use, and very easy to install thanks
The item appears to be well made and as expected. I'm having some difficulties, but with my camper, not with the unit.
Probably not a really useful review.
Very easy to install. Works very well. I like the digital number readout to show power level being applied to brakes.
Top notch products,Service and Customer service help line.
You guys know your stuff.
Thank you so much for the help everything went flawless and works perfect.
Thank you so much.

Installing this into my 2005 Tahoe was a breeze. If you just follow the directions and check out etrailers videos you should have no problem. I went from a small popup to a bigger hybrid so I had to get the EBC system. This sure beats taking it to the RV or Dealer store and paying retail plus labor. Thanks etrailer.com
Easy to install. simple instructions, I have it wired up but just have not towed anything yet to get the settings set for my application.
Quality product. The video of how to install clinches the deal. Setup instructions worked perfectly.
Nice product, easy to useEasy to use an upgrade from my Activator I unit. Has the same manual brake control that failed on the Activator I unit. Hopefully this one does not fail.
thank you for the fast delivery ,and for the easy installation vid
was a breeze,ty
Great Product, VERY Easy to install. The only thing I would change is the length of the pig tail. The short length of the pigtail limits your options of product placement.
Great prices, quality products, great customer service and reasonable shipping!!!
Easy installation works great, great pr ice
ordered on a monday afternoon, received my order on wed after 3 pm...everything was in good condition..these are really good people...thank you so much for the fast service......max
Installed in Frontiier quickly with no problems,us the recommended adapter .Good product,quick shipping and great company to work with.
Controler works great, hook up was a snap with the plug and play harness.
Love the digital display! Digital display is now a requirement when I order a brake controller. It is amazing how much better brake control I have knowing before hand how much brake will be applied.
Had the same controller for years, it has worked well. I pull a 4 axle 24,000 # trailer with disc brakes on all four axles. simple, reliable, and inexpensive.
