Tekonsha Voyager Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 4 Axles - Proportional
part number: 39510

This proportional brake controller is designed to keep towing simple. Includes an LED braking indicator, a slide-bar manual override, and a knob to adjust braking power. Mounts easily within a 90-degree vertical range.

Features:

  • Brake controller activates trailer brakes in proportion to your vehicle's braking action
    • Automatically adjusts trailer's braking based on deceleration of tow vehicle
  • Simple controls keep your settings within easy reach
    • Gain setting lets you adjust the amount of power sent to the trailer's brakes
    • Slide-bar manual override allows you to control trailer sway or stop in emergencies
    • Sensitivity knob lets you set initial braking power and aggressiveness for smooth, safe braking
  • Green LED on the top of the module monitors a secure connection with trailer
    • Glows red to indicate that trailer brakes are being activated
  • Quick and easy installation with included bracket and hardware
    • 90-Degree vertical mounting range - must be horizontally level and parallel to direction of travel
    • Plug-in, vehicle-specific brake-control adapter available for select vehicles to reduce installation time


Specs:

  • Application: trailers with up to 4 axles (8 brake assemblies)
    • Compatible with electric brakes only
  • Dimensions: 5" long x 3" wide x 1-1/2" tall
  • Mounting: between -20 degrees and 70 degrees in the vertical plane
  • 5-Year limited warranty


Power and Sensitivity Adjustment

Once the brake controller is installed, you can use the knob on the right side of the unit to adjust the gain (also known as output). Gain lets you set the maximum amount of power that will be applied to your trailer's brakes. You want to set it as high as you can without locking up the brakes. Typically, this setting is only readjusted when you experience changing road conditions or if you switch over from a heavy, loaded trailer to a much lighter, empty trailer, or vice versa.


Tekonsha Voyager

You can fine-tune the gain by adjusting the sensitivity of the internal sensor using the knob on the left side. This controls the aggressiveness of your trailer's braking, meaning how quickly the brakes reach the maximum braking level. You can adjust this when you're towing heavy loads and you need more umph to bring your trailer to a stop. Your tow vehicle doesn't need that much power to brake in time, but your heavy trailer does. A high sensitivity level will get the braking power to your trailer brakes faster and with more intensity so that it doesn't push your tow vehicle forward.


LED Indicator

Keeping with its simple design, the Voyager will not overwhelm you with information. An LED indicator on the top of the unit lights up green to show that your trailer is securely connected to your tow vehicle. The LED indicator will change to red when the brakes on your trailer are activated.


During installation and setup, this light is also used to ensure that the Voyager will be able to function correctly. Proper leveling of the internal sensor is crucial to the operation of this brake controller. When the sensor is level, the LED will change to a shade of orange.


Simple Installation

The Voyager is designed to be mounted in your cab at a vertical angle that is between -20 degrees and 70 degrees. The brake controller needs to be horizontally level and parallel to the direction of travel in order to function properly.


Correct Voyager mounting90-Degree Voyager mounting

To connect the Voyager, hardwire the included harness to your vehicle. For a plug-and-play installation, a vehicle-specific wiring adapter is available for select vehicles. One end of the custom adapter plugs into your vehicle, and the other end plugs into the controller - no hardwiring required.


Once the controller is mounted and connected, you must level the internal sensor. First, set the overall power to the maximum using the knob on the side of the controller. Then, while pressing the tow vehicle's brake pedal, adjust the level knob on the other side of the brake controller (this is the same knob that is used to fine-tune the power output) until the LED monitor is a shade of orange.


Installation Accessories

See also etrailer.com'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.


Note: If a custom brake-control wiring adapter is not available for your vehicle, one of the following will be required:

20-Amp circuit breaker (9506P - sold separately) for 2- to 4-brake applications

30-Amp circuit breaker (38630 - sold separately) for 6- to 8-brake applications


Proportional Braking

What is proportional Braking

The Tekonsha Voyager brake controller comes equipped with proportional braking to give you the best towing experience. Proportional braking means that your trailer brakes mimic your tow vehicle's brakes. If you slam on the brakes in your vehicle, your trailer brakes will activate with the same intensity; if you brake lightly, your trailer brakes lightly too. The trailer's braking is in proportion to your vehicle's braking. This saves wear and tear on the tires and the brakes on both your vehicle and trailer.


The Voyager uses a pendulum system to sense how your vehicle is braking so it can send the right amount of braking power to your trailer. It measures the inertia of your tow vehicle and activates the trailer's brakes to slow at the same rate. The result is uniform braking across your towing setup. No push-pull action - just smooth, proportional braking every time.

I am very satisfied with the Voyager brake Controller I purchased. It is the easiest unit to adjust that I have ever owned. The controls are easy to adjust and it has worked well with my trailers.



by: Corey M.08/01/2020

etrailer makes the purchase easy. I have always used Tekonsha Voyagers, and on my new truck (2015 Silverado) I also wanted the convenience of having the plug and play wiring harness. etrailer had exactly what I needed and was very easy to find on the website. Installation was flawless and clean thanks to the good hardware supplied. Very excited to put some trailers behind the truck with the stopping power confidence that comes with the Voyager.



by: Gary12/26/2020

The Tekonsha Voyager trailer brake controller works well in my 99 Silverado 1500, which was easy to setup for my trailer. The option to allow for different settings of aggression for the trailer braking has allowed the stopping with different loads to be graceful with the turn of a knob. Decided to install the controller in CD storage with velcro for a nice look. Easy access when in place during use for easy observation and twicking during operation. The wife can assist with the twicking while I am driving. Excellent product!

Exactly what I was looking for and needed ! It was delivered very quick . Actually I just ordered a complete wiring harness from you tonight . Your service and follow up is great

by: Robert G07/15/2016

Completely plug and play installation and works flawlessly, very happy with this unit. I also ordered the exact harness for my 2005 f150 with tow package. Here are a couple of hints that may be helpful. My installation also required a 30 amp cartridge fuse to be installed in the fuse panel in location #105(electric trailer brakes) under the dash on the passenger side. I also installed a relay in location r05 (trailer tow battery charge) but I don't think this is needed for the controller to function. I still had the original trailer brake kit and it had the additional fuse panel instructions and the relay. The owners manual showed where the 30 amp fuse and relay plugs in. You cannot test this unit until a trailer with brakes is connected, ie the led will not light up until it senses a brake circuit.



by: Wayne12/20/2019

The drawtite hitch and trailer wiring harness fit great. Instructions were clear and concise. Installation was a breeze. I am ready to tow my little trailer now. As soon as I get the brake controller installed, I will be ready for my big trailer.



by: Mark01/04/2020

This is my second Tekonsha; I had to replace my 10-year old one after I accidentally broke it.

This one is a bit of an upgrade, and is easily able to lock up the disc brakes on my 15,000 lb trailer. Adjusting it properly, I'm able to brake as though there were no trailer at all. Set it, and forget it. It doesn't get any easier than that.



by: Chris C10/09/2016

If your truck comes with the tow haul package.... this item is literally plug and play. I had it wired up and all mounted inside of thirty minutes. It's literally 4 wires and the stock system wires are labeled along with the brake contoller. I haven't tested it yet but so far I am thoroughly impressed!



by: Alfie07/30/2020

Received this yesterday and was able to install it today. Instructions were very easy to follow and the only problem I had installing it was contorting myself to install the bracket. Once I got the bracket in place the rest was a piece of cake. Went for a test drive as the instructions suggested and did have to tweak it a little but it's doing exactly what I expect it to do. I'll be hauling a John Deere Tractor and wanted to make sure the brakes on the trailer worked.



by: Christopher07/09/2020

Installed in my 2018 Silverado Custom. I ordered the additional wiring harness and the install took less than thirty minutes. Plug and Play at its simplest. Thank You etrailer.



by: Easy install01/21/2021

Perfectly wired directly to existing wiring that I had for the previous brake controller I replaced with the, Draw Tite I Command. This will make it a lot easier should I choose to upgrade the unit in the future.
Fantastic customer service from Joshua as well.

Ram 2500

I installed the Curt gooseneck on my 1993 GMC 2 Wheel Dr. 2500 truck. All the components have tight tolerances. It took me eight hours. With a socket and the wrench. Laying on my back. I did have to cut the wheel well lip about 3/8 of an inch off because I could not get that front angle bar to slide in without hitting it, no way around it unless you lift the bed up and I wasn’t going to do that!!. You have to cut it.instructions do not state that. I’m very happy with the Hitch, it is definitely stout! I did have to make a notch on the outside brackets to go over my airbag bolt. I also had to remove the support bracket on the inside of the frame for the airbag and the crossmember for the spare tire to get the front angled bar in.

by: Jake 08/20/2021

This was an easy install on my 2019 GMC truck using the appropriate wiring adapter. Instructions for setting up the control were clear. After a few adjustments my trailer brakes worked as they should. Minor adjustments of the controller are needed from time to time, but overall the controller is reliable. Good value.



by: Douglas08/03/2023

As always, etrailer delivers. Part was on time and a perfect match for the brake controller. What you don't get from Amazon is the technical support on how to install or use the equipment purchased from etrailer. That's why I keep coming back!

The correct items that fit properly were delivered in a timely manner.



by: Don 03/07/2021

My truck was stolen and wrecked. I was able to retrieve the Tekonsha Brake controller from under the Dash board before it was hauled to the salvage yard, but not the wire harness. I was ale to order a replacement harness from eTrailer and reinstall the controller in my new truck. I had no problems at all. Thank you eTrailer for the great support.

Still works perfectly after one year. Actually, I been using this Controller for well over a year. I just reinstalled it in my new truck a year ago.

These guys are great they had the installation kit it came with everything you need and even had a video for my specific vehicle to install the brake controller and wire in a 7 pin trailer plug
If you don’t have factory brake controller the etbc7 is an amazing kit they have comes with everything I mean everything

Everything has been excellent e trail has the right products and they fit just like they say



by: Walter Calloway05/24/2015

The product was easy to install with the help of the F-250 adapter. I followed the direction and the product worked just as it was advertised from etrailer.com. If I had to give the Tekonsha Voyager Trailer Break Controller a star rating from 1-5, I would give it a 4.5.



by: Todd D07/24/2015

Easy installation and seems to be a great product. I also used the harness for my 07 new body Silverado for a easy install. Videos are a great help as well . I will purchase all of my trailer and RV needs from ETrailer from now on.



by: Chad07/13/2021

Works as intended, but the plug on the back of the controller is a loose connection. Sometimes I would go to brake and find that I had no trailer brakes because the controller lost power. After a wiggle it would start to work again. I was able to shave the Molex plug a bit and now I don't have any problems with it.

  • Parts Needed To Install Tekonsha Voyager Trailer Brake Controller 39510 In 2018 Chevrolet Suburban
  • I would be happy to help. You will need to use a different plug-in wiring adapter as the adapter your 2002 Chevrolet Suburban uses is different than the one found on your 2018 Suburban. For your 2018 Suburban you will need the # 3016 given that your vehicle has the factory tow package. This will plug into the factory trailer brake controller port underneath the dash of your vehicle and the directly into your Tekonsha Voyager # 39510. You will just need to remove the mounting bracket

  • Trailer Brake Pin on 7-Way Trailer Connector is Hot All of the Time
  • There should not be constant 12 volt power at the brake output pin on the back of the 7-way unless the brake pedal in the vehicle is pressed or the manual override is engaged. Since you have a new controller then there is more than likely a short in the brake output wire (usually blue) that runs for the 7-way to the brake controller. You will need to trace this wire back as far as possible while checking for shorts. You can use your multimeter to pinpoint where the short occurs but since

  • Based on the issue you are having it sounds like the Tekonsha Voyager Trailer Brake Controller # 39510 you have may have an internal short, but there are a few things to try first. First remove the black wire from the controller to allow it to power off for 15 minutes as this will reset the controller. After the 15 minutes are up go ahead and reattach the black wire with heat shrink butt connector # DW05745-5. If this did not fix the issue the test the red wire which should be attached

  • Recommended Brake Controller and Harness for 2009 Chevrolet Silverado
  • The trailer brake controller I recommend for a 2009 Chevrolet Silverado is the Tekonsha Voyager Trailer Brake Controller part # 39510. This is a proportional controller which provides the smoothest braking. It's very reliable and overall a great option. In order to install this you will need the Brake Control Plug-In Harness part # 20127. This harness will wire into the four/five wires you already have run under the dash tucked away. It's pretty simple as you can see in the attached video. There

  • Can Factory Brake Control Wiring Harness Be Used with Voyager Brake Controller on 2006 GMC Sierra
  • You can use the factory wiring harness you have with the Tekonsha Voyager brake controller # 39510.

  • Why Would Integrated Brake Controller Not Apply Hard Brakes w Pedal When Trailer is On Jack Stand
  • The brake controller in 2013 Chevy Silverado is a proportional brake controller so it would have to sense your vehicle slowing down via inertia for the controller to apply hard braking with the brake pedal. That is why it will function just fine with the override lever but not with the brake pedal.

  • Is Wiring Harness Needed to Install Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller in 2013 GMC Sierra
  • Your Tekonsha Voyager brake controller # 39510 probably installs in your 2013 GMC Sierra with a pigtail wiring harness # TM75127. Older units were hardwired. With this harness already in place in your truck your installation of the excellent Prodigy P2 brake controller # 90885 will be a simple plug-in process. The existing wiring harness will plug in to the back of the P2 with no other parts needed.

  • Tekonsha Voyager Operates Only With Brake Switch, Not With Brake Pedal
  • I can explain the blue wire. On the 2005 Dodge Ram, vehicles that had the factory 4-pole trailer connector didn't have the blue wire from the under dash connector ran all the way to the back. The blue wire terminated in the engine compartment. Since it's easier to access the wire behind the brake controller, many folks just tap into it there. The first thing you'll want to do is to use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 and test the red wire exiting the rear of the brake controller.

Sometimes this issue is as simple as a blown third brake light fuse or just a bad connection to the vehicle wiring.

  • Trailer Brakes Only Working With Manual Override on 2011 GMC Sierra
  • If your trailer brakes are only working when you apply the manual override the issue is commonly the red wire - the stop light switch. Make sure it is connected to the circuit that that only sees voltage when the brakes are applied. The issue with not displaying numbers does make me think that the brake controller may have hit the fritz and need to be replaced though, and this would be true if the numbers never display, even when using the manual override. For your 2011 GMC Sierra a

  • Brake Controller Wiring Functions to Install on a 1990 Dodge D250 Pickup
  • The red wire that disappears under the dash of your 1990 dodge D250 pickup is input from the brake switch and will go to the red wire on the brake controller. Blue is output to the trailer brakes and connects to the blue wire on the brake controller. White is ground as you know and connects to the controller white wire and the fused red wire is for power which connects to the black brake controller wire. If you had switched the other red wire and the blue wire nothing would have happened

  • Stop Light Switch Location On A 2015 Jeep Cherokee
  • The stop light switch that you will need to connect the red wire to on the Brake Control Plug-In Harness for Tekonsha part # 20127 may be pre ran to a set of wires taped to the underside of the drivers side vehicle dash. If the wires are not present in this location, I recommend installing a stop light switch such as the Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit part # RM-751471 to wire the brake controller stop light switch to because of the difficulty and risk of error that is involved when splicing

  • Voyager Brake Controller Does Not Show Voltage with Manual Override Applied
  • The way a brake controller works is sort of like you described. In many proportion controllers, you actually have to be moving to get voltage when applying the brake but will see voltage when applying the manual override. The controller actually senses how much the vehicle is decelerating using an internal sensor. It does not monitor how hard you press the pedal but it does sense when you are pressing the brake. Of course usually how hard you press the brake does effect the rate of deceleration. If
