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 built-in connector beneath your vehicle's dashboard. To access this connector, first locate the instrument cluster finish panel in the center of you dash, near the driver's side. Carefully pry the panel out and undo the locking tabs to remove it. Then just plug the adapter into the mating connector in the large gray housing behind the panel. 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 Setting up the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers on a 2020 Ford F-150

Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer. And today we're taking a look at the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electronic Brake Controller on a 2020 Ford F-150. This wiring adapter makes the installing the brake controller on this vehicle specifically so much easier. It truly makes it plug and play without having to do any wire splicing. Myself, I am not a wiring expert so anytime I can opt for an easier factory harness plug in, tends to be a lot less headaches and a lot less troubleshooting. So the factory plug is behind there.

You do have a pigtail harness that clips into the factory plug and then goes to your brake controller. This pigtail is gonna work with a bunch of different time delayed brake controllers, including the Draw-Tite activator one, two, and three, and the Tekonsha Powertrac. There's also compatible proportional brake controllers, including the Tekonsha Prodigy, P2, P3, which we have installed, the Primus IQ and the Voyager. We've chosen to install the Tekonsha P3 which is a good option with a bunch of different adjustability. Having proportional systems really helps give you a smooth transition and makes driving with the trailer so much easier and a lot less stressful.

So to get this plugged in, this is going to tie back into our factory harness. And I'm going to go ahead and show you how to actually install that. So we're going to look for our factory brake controller connector that we're going to plug into. Now it's going to be located underneath the steering wheel here, and we'll start by pulling off the plastic dash trim. Now there's a spot here.

Put your finger as well as the other side. So work your way slowly and it should separate. If you need a trim panel tool remover, that's also a possibility to help you out, but I'm able to do it with my fingers, pretty easily. And that should drop down. So with this dropped out of the way, you're going to see four bolts.

1, 2, 3, 4. We're going to go ahead and remove those with a 10 millimeter socket. Once the four bolts are out, these are going to sit just in here, slotted, so you can set this aside. So to get to our factory plug, it's tucked behind here. So there's this pocket. It actually sits right behind there. So I'm going to go ahead and there is a little clip you're going to push up, before pulling out. Before doing that we put a little dielectric grease on the plug itself. And if you don't have some of this, we do that, have that etrailer or your local auto parts store should have it. And this is just going to add a little bit of electrical connection and fill any voids to prevent any loose connections. So we'll just clip that back in. We're gonna go through these to check for power. Let's double check our break just to make sure we have a consistent. Oop. We're just going to push the pedal again, but it looks as if we are getting the brake signal, but not power. So we're going to go under the hood into the fuse box and get that figured out. So on our passenger side underneath the hood, you're going to find the fuse panel here. So first you're going to want to take this front part off. Just simple as pushing that up. And that will come out of the way. Then you'd then have one more clip and that'll pry back. So you can see this opening here . In your owner's manual, it's going to be labeled as 24. So you see the 50 amp, the 10 and the 25. It's going to go in between there. Let's check to see if that gives us our power. So with our 30 amp fuse in the 24 slot, we now have power to our controller. So we have power to the controller. So we're set to really get this back into place and we'll mount our controller. So, take the four bolts that you had. Put the metal plate back in place. And then you're able to zip those up. Before putting this plastic panel back in place, I'm going to just pry this back a little and run the wire behind it. And now I can snap this back up. And that was the look and installation of the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electronic Brake Controllers on a 2020 Ford F-150..

Tekonsha POD Trailer Brake Controller w/ Custom Harness - 1 to 2 Axles - Time Delayed - TK48HR

Average Customer Rating:  5.0 out of 5 stars   (2 Customer Reviews)

This time-delayed brake controller is designed to mount at any angle, even upside down. The controls are all up front for easy access, including a slide-bar manual override and a thumbwheel for braking output. LED indicator shows your braking status.

This product is 98% plug and play. The only issues we ran into was the supplied harness ground wire we installed to the bed frame didn't provide a ground through the truck. Most likely was the bed mounting isolators were preventing a good connection. We ran an additional ground wire from the mentioned harness ground to the mounting bolt of the 7-way connector mounted to the bumper. We also had to run a dedicated 12 volt fused power wire to the 7-way connector from the battery to operate our electric trailer jack.



by:

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



by:

Install with pigtail for my F150 was easy. Unfortunately, when I hook up my trailer the controller does not recognize a trailer with electric brakes is attached. Very disappointed.



by:

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



by:

Pigtail fit as described. Pretty idiot proof. Hardest part was getting access to the plug and running the wires to the controller. Installed in a 2023 Jayco Greyhawk 29MV. It works as described.



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:

This is my third truck using my prodigy brake controller with the plug in adapter. As in the past the wiring is heavy gauge to match vehicle & installed with ease. I used the prodigy mount bracket to take up space & slid it in factory controller slot. I can unplug it when not in use if I want & interior looks stock. I make a slot in back of dash compartment to feed adapter wire through for easy plug in & out. Product was revived quickly & ordering on etrailer site was a breeze. Would definitely recommend this plug & play adapter



by:

Plugged right into my 2023 Ford E-350 RV. Mounted my Tekonsha by my right knee and have electric brakes now! No drama, no splicing, plenty of length.



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:

E-TRAILER HAD THE HARD-TO-FIND PART I NEEDED AT A GREAT PRICE! THEY COMMUNICATED WELL AND SHIPPED IT TO ME QUICKLY. THIS IS MY SECOND ORDER FROM E-TRAILER. I'LL DEFINITELY BE BACK FOR ALL MY TRAILER AND TOWING NEEDS!



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:

Right now my rating is poor because the supplied pigtail for 2018 Ford F150 with tow package does not connect to my F150!
Supplied connector is a rectangle shape, the socket under the dash is a trapezoid and they do not connect together.

I will say though that Robert B is helping me out and I sure hope we can get this figured out quickly



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:

Fit up was easy and worked first time.



by:

The adaptor seems to be well built. Works like it is supposed to.
Good price. Excellent customer service. Speedy processing.

I will definitely be purchasing future upgrades/products from etrailer.

Thank you for your good service and kind customer rep. Hard to find good experiences like this nowadays.
I've included a picture of a Tekonsha Voyager that I installed in the area the OEM TBC would be. Its sturdy. It works. Too easy.



by:

Plug-in wiring adapter was easy to install with the factory towing package on my 23 Ford F150. Will see how the controller performs when I am hitch up.



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:

Worked great. Very easy to install.
I
cut a hole in the back of the dash cubby hole to the right of the steering wheel for the wires to pass through and used adhesive velcro to mount the brake controller in the cubby. The brake controller is held with velcro on the bottom and the sides and does not vibrate or move at all.
Very easy install and the only hole I drilled was in the back of the cubby hole and the brake controller is very easy to reach for braking and adjusting.
I wanted to slide the controller further back in the cubby, but the velcro started sticking early and I left it. It could probably slide back another 1/2" to 3/4". Not much, but would be nicer. I may pull it out in the future to get it seated further back, but the velcro is really strong so I don't want to mess with it right now.



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:

Easy install on my 2010 F 150 XLT. There are 2 possible locations for the trailer wiring harness if your vehicle did not come equipped with the mfg brake control. Consult owners manual. My harness was located below steering colum behind lower dash. I routed my harness to the left side behind the parking brake release lever. You may have to remove the outer sleeve of the factory harness depening on your vehicle. Mounted the mounting bracket with double sided foam tape and predrilled holes before screwing in place. Mounted the Pod brake control and tested. 5 stars!



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:

Video was exactly correct for installation on a new Bronco. Thank you.



by:

This adapter does work with a 2023 F-150 STX, plugged right in works great.

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.

    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.

Unfortunately, there are no plug-in style 7-way harnesses for the MDX. This kit works with vehicles that already have a 4-Way flat and includes all the additional parts needed for installation.

  • Brake Controller Installation in 2019 Toyota Tacoma without Tow Package
    Thank you for your purchase of the Tekonsha PowerTrac Electronic Brake Controller # 39523. This will install in your 2019 Tacoma using the wiring adapter part # 3031-P which connects between the controller and the plug-in port under your dash. Since your Tacoma does not have the tow package you may need to install some fuses and relays to activate the wiring. The online owner's manual I reviewed does not provide a legend for the engine compartment nor passenger compartment fuse boxes so...

  • What is Needed to Install Brake Controller in 2019 Chrysler Pacifica
    Installing a brake controller in your 2019 Chrysler Pacifica is going to depend on if you have the factory 7-way or no factory trailer wiring at all. If you do have the factory 7-way you can install a brake controller with just the correct wiring adapter. For example, the Tekonsha PowerTrac # 39523 brake controller requires just the Plug-In Wiring Adapter # TK93VR. You will plug in one part of the adapter to the controller and the other part to the port underneath your dash for a simple...

    Yes, you can use brake controller # 39523 with the Ford brake controller wiring harness on your 2009 F-150. But you will have to cut off the connector on the brake controller and hardwire it to the Ford harness by function. The Ford harness should be labeled as to the functions of the wires. The brake controller uses white for ground, black for 12 volt power, blue for output to the trailer brakes, and red for input from the brake switch. The brake controller will not have any effect on...

  • Does the Dexter DX Series Electric Over Hydraulic Brake Actuators Need an Adapter in Ford Trucks
    This is definitely something that is frustrating and unfortunately, my answer is not going to be much better. When we have brought this to Dexter in the past, they have told us that their Electric Over Hydraulic actuators like the Dexter DX Series Electric Over Hydraulic Brake Actuator # K71-651 are compatible with all years of the Ford integrated brake controllers so it should work fine without needing any type of adapter. Using an adapter like the # DX35FR will not make a difference. But...

  • Recommended Brake Controller for 2014 Ford F-150 With Factory 7-Way
    The correct choice would be with factory 7-way, although the custom wiring harness is the same for the 4-way option. I highly recommend choosing a proportional brake controller for your 2015 F-150. Proportional brake controllers activate trailer brakes in proportion to your vehicle's braking action. The Tekonsha Primus IQ 3 # TK90160 is going to be the best choice close to the price point you're looking for. The # 22292 will plug into the factory port under your dash for an easy installation....

  • Why Is My Tekonsha Primus IQ TK90160 Showing An o9 Error When Plugged Into A 2016 Ford Flex
    The o.9 on your Tekonsha Prims IQ # TK90160 does mean you have a bad ground connection. This will be due to the # 3034-P plug that you are using. As your 2016 Flex came with the factory tow package, you will actually need the # 22292 plug. The vehicle end plug will look the same on both these pigtails, but they will be pinned differently. With that being said, you have one of two options to fix this. You can return the # 3034-P and purchase a new # 22292, or you can re-pin the # 3034-P....

If you need a replacement pigtail for wiring, you can use # 7894. The only confirmed fit brake controller that requires no further wiring is the Tekonsha Prodigy RF Wireless Controller # TK94FR.
