Easy-to-Access Brake Controller

Tekonsha POD Controls and Components

The Tekonsha POD is designed to mount in any direction, and it's especially suited for mounting on near-vertical dashes. All the controls are on the front of the module, so you can still access them with the controller tucked away in a convenient place.


Tekonsha POD review

Braking Output

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.


Manual Override

The Tekonsha POD 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 lever 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.


Quick, Simple 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, with the controller designed with all of the controls on the front of the module so you can access them even if it's mounted upside down.


The included custom adapter plugs into the connector on your vehicle's built-in brake control wiring harness, which you can find under your driver's seat. Once you have the wiring connected to your vehicle, just plug the other end into the POD. Because there are no wires to splice, installation is not permanent. You can unplug and remove the brake controller at any time and securely stow it away.


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 controller installation kit (ETBC7 - sold separately).


Time-Delayed Braking

What is time-delayed braking

The Tekonsha POD 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 POD. 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.

Video Transcript for Tekonsha Custom Wiring Adapter for Trailer Brake Controllers Spec Review

Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer. And today we're taking a look at the Tekonsha Brake Controller Adapter for sprinter vans. Now, it's important you're gonna wanna use the fit guide to make sure that you have the specific model of sprinter to make sure that this plug works. But once it's plugged in and you know that you have a confirmed fit, it's going to be nice and easy to actually plug this into your factory tow package. So under the driver's seat, you're gonna see a green clip and you have factory plug that meets to that. And you just simply run the other end to your brake controller.

Now, this is going to be an awesome option in making a brake controller install nice and easy on the sprinter, by allowing you to just plug into the factory tow package. And then this end is gonna go into your brake controller pretty easy. And this is gonna work on trailer mates, draw tights as well as Tekonsha brake controllers. As you can see once we plugged it in, our brake controller came to life and it's ready to go. So all that's left is to mount this where we want it and hook up our trailer and get to towing.

And that was a look at the Tekonsha Brake Controller Wiring Adapter for a sprinter van..

According to the description on the website I should be able to adjust the delay in breaking. Apparently it’s preset



by:

Works great, following instructions and installed the trailer controller. Not all defaclut to install and the hardest thing was getting a 66 Year old kid in position to install it under the dash! I don’t bend as easy as I use too.



by:

In case my first review posts, after an unsuccessful online chat with someone at etrailer, I called them and spoke with a very nice and knowledgeable man (unfortunately I didn’t catch his name). He walked me through the subtle differences between the 2nd generation Sprinter van 7-way factory plug and the 3rd (current) generation van which I have and via telephone I was able to get the Tekonsha adapter harness connected. Thanks etrailer!



by:

This harness fits more years than noted, so long as you have the green factory connector under the driver seat. I thought shipping this item would take several weeks but E-Trailer had it out in just a couple days. A quality product that worked perfectly and was easily installed.



by:

Great little brake controller for the money if you don't need heavy braking on a larger trailer. Simple and economic.



by:

We have a Honda Ridgeline and needed this for our camper trailer. It was nice ordering the specific plug in wire for the Ridgeline and therefore eliminating hard wiring, just plugged it in. It was rough getting to the factory plug under the dash by the emergency brake petal switch. My hands are not small enough, ha ha. But success was had. Plugged into the controller and mounted it and u-wall-a. It works the way it is suppose to, I like that. A good quality unit that does what it is suppose to. thanks.



by:

Very happy with this product. It fit nicely in my truck and plugged right into the factory wiring harness. Total installation time was under an hour. Easy to adjust, and works perfectly with my 5th wheel trailer. I simply pulled out the little storage cubby from the dash, cut the back off, slid the controller in, bolted it together, and stuck it all back in the dash. Looks and works great.



by:

This made connecting my me REDARC Brake Controller easier than hard wiring.



by:

I have a Toyota Tacoma (06). I had the controller installed in less than five minutes. One minute to gather the tools: drill/bits, screw driver, and tape. I thought tape would be helpful to hold the ground screw to the driver given the tight are under the dash. One minute to drill the ground hole. One minute to install the ground screw. One minute to plug in the cables and fish the wire under the stirring wheel to allow for the controller to be mounted in the storage area found on Tacoma trucks dash. I guess I was wrong. It only took four minutes. I did not need to put the tools away I was off to do other projects. I rate the product as good because I have not tried it on the trailer yet.



by:

I received my purchase very quickly.
I
just installed the control and wire harness today. Installation was easy, all you need are basic hand tools and a drill with a small bit.
Haven't had chance to test it out yet but, when I do I'll update.



by:

Easy to install in my Toyota-Tacoma 2012. I pull my Travel Trailer and this break controller worked very well and with just a little bit adjustment. Also this item was shipped very fast.



by:

Worked out perfectly for me, super easy installation with adapter harness. Work's flawlessly, easy one hand gain control with control's on front. My truck had nice cubby it fit in so out of the way and seamless look. Thanks for a great product and service.



by:

I sell and install a variety of components for various companies and individuals. I have zero comebacks from this company. Not that I haven't received defective parts but they always make it right. And that is good business.



by:

The controller was a great option for our 2021 forest river FSX and gave me plenty of control over the brakes. It does require a adjustment time to time but has always worked when brakes are applied. The setup and installation were a breeze and has worked for many trips.



by:

This brake controller was so simple to install with help from etrailer.
It unit operats the electric brakes on my trailer great and I love that I can adjust the braking power from inside my motorhome.



by:

Thanks to etrailer’s video “Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee”, the installation of a Tekonsha PowerTrac controller on my 2003 Jeep was very straight forward (and I’m not a car guy!). Like in the video, I used the wiring kit (#5506). I forgot to order a pigtail wiring harness but was able to pick one up locally. Took the trailer out last weekend and the brakes worked great.



by:

The control works great. Nice incremental application of wheel from nothing to hard on! Led light goes from green to red also in incremental degrees. Installation was a snap in my 2008 F150 with tow package. Just Plug in the control clip and the other end in the terminal above and to the right of the computer check terminal. Rather than have it below my dash I opted for the cove below the lighter. Etrailer did a nice job of getting out to me right away and kept me informed where this was at all the way to my door. Good Job!



by:

Installed on 2003 Toyota Tundra with the factory tow package. Installation was a breeze with the included vehicle specific wiring adapter. It took me about 45 minutes total. Looks professionally installed. Easy to use. Set the adjustment for your specific trailer and go!



by:

Product arrived quickly and installed very easily. Plug and play with the correct adapter (3035-P Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers - Ford, Lincoln, Mercury) for a 2001 Ford F-150. Controller is very easy to set the braking on your trailer.



by:

I ordered the powertrac with the 22292, 2011 ford F150 wiring adapter, It works great. 15 mins, and I had everything ready to go. It is a little sensitive to adjust but ones you get the feel for it, it takes no time to adjust. very happy with this unit, I would recommend this unit to everyone.



by:

It's always a great day when you can plug and play! No cutting or splicing wire with this kit. Works great!



by:

Super easy install just plugged in and bolt down the controller works great



by:

Didn't take long to get once I ordered it. Very easy to install. I used the video to help with the install. Can't wait to start camping. Would definitely use etrailer.com again and will recommend it to friends and family.



by:

Very quick shipping, great communication. have used etrailer several times and have always been happy with their service.



by:

The brake controller we purchased and had professionally installed works perfectly. We had it installed in our RV for use when towing a large vehicle trailer. It's reliable and simple. It was a great purchase!

  • Parts Needed to Convert a 4-Way to a 7-Way on a 1994 Ford F-150
    You are exactly right in your findings. The Universal Wiring Kit # ETBC7 will give you a fully functioning 7-Way on your 1994 Ford F-150 once installed. This also includes a 4-Way connection for those smaller trailers you may end up towing as well. The Brake Control Plug-In Harness # 20127 will install in the Tekonsha PowerTrac # 39523 and give you the wiring needed to connect the brake controller to the appropriate locations on your 7-Way and F-150.

  • Parts Needed to Add Brake Controller to 2012 GMC Canyon With Factory 4-Way
    You will need to add a 7-way to install the # 39523 (80500) on the 2012 GMC Canyon. If the 4-way at the back is plugged into a round US Car connector behind the bumper you can add a 7-way using the # HM40975. If it is an aftermarket 4-way, or attached using a different connector, you will have to add a 7-way using the # ETBC7.

  • Inexpensive Brake Controller that Works with Electric Over Hydraulic Trailer Brakes
    Only certain brake controllers are compatible with electric over hydraulic trailer brakes. The lowest cost option that is compatible is # HA81760. But if it were by I would use # 90885 because it is easy to set up and it is reliable. If your existing brake controller works fine with regular electric trailer brakes then installing a new controller will be easy since brake controllers have the same 4 wire functions: white is ground, black is 12 volt power in, red is input from the brake...

  • Easy to Install Brake Controller Recommendation for 2017 Toyota Tacoma with 7-Way
    The reason "why" you want to install a brake controller on your 2017 Toyota Tacoma is to allow you to control the brakes of your trailer (assuming it is equipped with them). This gives you a much safer and less stressful towing experience as you'll be able to stop in a much safer amount time/distance in the event of an emergency. Basically the controller allows you to apply the brakes of the trailer in a safe and controlled way to match the intensity of how hard you are applying the vehicle...

  • Recommended Proportional Trailer Brake Controller for 2014 Honda Odyssey
    There are two primary types of trailer brake controller, the time-delayed variety and the proportional variety. Both use the same 4-wire installation process and both do the same thing, but how they do it differs. Time-delay type brake controllers like the PowerTrac # 39523 offer the advantage of easier mounting since they do not need the same precise leveling and correct forward-facing orientation that is required for a proportional unit like the Prodigy P2 # 90885.

  • Noisy Powertrac Brake Controller, Part # 39523 on 2008 Nissan Frontier
    It is not unusual for time-delayed type brake controllers to make a slight humming or buzzing noise, but if what you are experiencing is louder than that, it points to either a fault within the controller itself (such as a relay) or a wiring issue. A pulse preventer will not help your particular issue.

The 2017 Ram 1500 has "Powernet" and utilizes multiplex wiring that is different from previous models.

  • Should Tekonsha Trailer Brake Controller Send Low Voltage to 7-Way with Vehicle Off
    Many trailer brake controllers like your Tekonsha PowerTrac # 39523 will actually send short pulses of power back to the brake output pin on the 7-Way even when the vehicle is off. This is essentially the controller's way of checking for a connection with a trailer. These pulses should stop after about 15 minutes of the vehicle being off (at which time the controller will go into a kind of sleep mode). With this in mind it sounds like your PowerTrac is functioning normally. If you notice...

If you do not have the factory tow package, the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195 would still work but you would have to splice in the included wiring...

  • Recommended Brake Controller and Adapter for a 2020 Mercedes-Benz 3500
    There is a kit technically that we have which includes both the adapter and the brake controller, but since it's a multi-product in our system there isn't any way to link a single product. So you'd need to add the adapter # 3063-P and the brake controller # 90195 separately, unfortunately. Also, the Tekonsha harness # 3063-P will work with TrailerMate, Draw-Tite, and Tekonsha brake controllers that have a built-in plug for the adapter to connect to.

  • Trailer Break Control Installation for Tekonsha Prodigy P3 on 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500
    According to my research, if your 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 came with a factory 7-way trailer connector you will have the brake controller connector pre-wired. This pre-wired connector should be under the driver side seat which you can see in the attached photo. The connector is green with four pins inside. Once you locate this connector you can install the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90195 using the Tekonsha Custom Wiring Adapter for Trailer Brake Controllers...

    The Tekonsha Custom Wiring Adapter for Trailer Brake Controllers part # 3063-P which is a fit for a Tekonsha Trailer Brake Controller like the Prodigy P3 part # 90195 on a 2018 Tiffin Wayfarer Motorhome with Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 Chassis does indeed plug-in under the seat. In order to route the harness up to the dash where you would ideally be mounting the brake controller you'd need to find a path free from moving components.

  • Brake Controller and Install Harness for 2022 Mercedes Sprinter RV
    The Redar Tow Pro Elite part # RED44FR can easily install on your 2022 Motorhome built on a Sprinter chassis with the part # 3063-P which plugs in right under the dash. This controller is really nice as it uses an inertia sensor to detect how hard you are applying the vehicle brakes and applies a similar amount on the trailer brakes. It also only requires putting a small control knob on your dash instead of a larger box like a traditional controller. I attached an install video for the...

  • Is There a Plug and Play Harness for Hayes Energize III Brake Controller on 2016 MB Sprinter 3500
    I have a solution for you, and there are some brake controllers available that can be used with a plug and play wiring harness to ease installation; however the Hayes Energize III # HA81742B is not one of those controllers and it would need to be hard wired into the vehicle no matter what. If you want to go that route you can use the # HA81789-HBC to plug into the Energize III and gives you the pigtail wiring needed to hardwire. With that said, instead of the Hayes Energize III I recommend...

    I may have a solution for you to install a different brake controller using a plug and play harness to avoid hard-wiring, but Curt does not have a brake controller adapter plug for the 2019 Mercedes Benz Sprinter 3500. If you wanted to use the Curt Spectrum # C51170 then you'd need to hard-wire it into the vehicle.

  • Parts Needed to Install Brake Controller on 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 With 7-Way
    Since your 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 has the factory 7-way, that means you'll have the factory tow package, so I assume by "wiring" you are referring to the wiring adapter needed to plug into the brake controller (it will plug into the green port under your driver's seat as in the accompanying photo). The correct part for your '19 Sprinter 2500 is the Tekonsha Custom Wiring Adapter # 3063-P. Then for a brake controller that works with that adapter, there are a couple options I...

  • Parts Needed to Install Brake Controller in 2023 Sprinter
    I checked with Tekonsha and a few other brake controller manufacturers and they state that your 2024 Mercedes Sprinter 3500 does not have an OEM brake controller install port under the dash like previous models so you would have to hardwire in the Prodigy P2 # 90885 with the universal install harness it comes with and the brake controller install kit part # 5506 which wires to the OEM 7-way you have.

  • How To Install a Brake Controller on 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500
    You can hard-wire in a brake controller, and it seems that there are not a lot of the Sprinter 3500 models that are pre-wired, at least from what I've seen in my research. I have not seen any reports that this isn't possible, and we even have an installation video to walk you through the process. The way to find out whether or not the plug is present by using a circuit tester like the # PTW2993 and testing for a hot wire when the brake is pressed- it's possible that one of the plugs that...
