Easy-to-Access Brake Controller
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.
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.
If your vehicle already has a plug-in brake controller wiring harness, just connect the unit to it. Otherwise, you will need to purchase a vehicle-specific wiring harness (sold separately) to plug into. If a harness is unavailable for your vehicle, hardwiring will be necessary.
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, a 20-amp circuit breaker (sold separately) may be required for installation.
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.

Great little brake controller for the money if you don't need heavy braking on a larger trailer. Simple and economic.
by: jim a06/09/2015
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: Michael B.03/08/2019
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: Michael 02/18/2023
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

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: Mike06/26/2013
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.

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.

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: 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: Caleb 02/07/2024
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.

I ordered everything to install hitch an and 7 pin plug. Everything went great. Parts were all perfect and instructions easy to follow.

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!

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: 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: Jon W.05/15/2017
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: Rick08/25/2018
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!

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.

Do you have a question about this Trailer Brake Controller?
- Tekonsha PowerTrac Electronic Brake Controller Not Powering On Inside 2003 Chevrolet Silverado
- If the Tekonsha PowerTrac Electronic Brake Controller # 39523 is not powering on inside your 2003 Chevrolet Silverado after installation, unit is not receiving power through the black wire.
The brake controller receives power from the black wire on the wiring adapter # 3015-P. If you have 12 volt power on the black wire and the controller is still not powering on, then there may be a poor ground connection on the truck, adapter or brake controller.
I recommend cutting the white wire

- For your 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee the trailer wiring harness part # 118349 is the correct harness to start with to install a 7-way and brake controller in your vehicle. It provides the taillight functions that will transfer over to the 7-way adapter.
From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller # 39523. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions

view full answer... - Brake Controller Installation and Recommendation for 2020 Subaru Outback
- Even though you won't be using it frequently, I'd still recommend getting a proportional controller. A proportional controller will sense how quickly the tow vehicle is braking, and will send the proper amount of voltage to the trailer brakes so that the vehicle and the trialer brake at the same rate for safe, effective and predictable braking.
The fact that you're not planning on using it very often makes me suspect that you might prefer not to have a traditional-type controller mounted
view full answer... - Is a Plug and Play Brake Controller Wiring Harness Available for a 2011 Chevrolet Express Van
- There are no brake controller plug and play options on the 2011 Chevrolet Express Van, but a brake controller installation will be fairly simple if your van has the factory tow package with 7-way trailer connector.
If your van has the factory tow package, there will be a bundle of 4 or 5 wires under the dash for a brake controller. They will be wrapped with a white tag that indicates the function of each wire. The wires are cut off, so you will just need a universal brake controller
view full answer... - Does Trailer Brake Controller Require Specific Wiring Harness
- Yes, you have identified the issue as brake controllers are designed to work with their specific harness and not spliced into them, assuming you have the plug-in option. We do not carry the brake controller you have so I am not familiar with it, but for example on your 2003 Chevy Silverado if you had the Tekonsha PowerTrac Electronic Brake Controller # 39523 you would need to use the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter # 3015-P.

- It sounds to me as if your controller is not getting sufficient 12-volt power to operate correctly. Try using a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 on the black power supply wire feeding the brake controller. I am guessing you will not see any power on this wire. The flickering you describe is from the slight amount of power reaching the controller through the red wire that serves as the input to the controller that tells it when the vehicle brakes are being applied.

- I do have options for you but I think there may be some confusion on how to activate the brakes on a towed vehicle.

- The Tekonsha PowerTrac Electronic Brake Controller - 1 to 2 Axles - Time Delayed # 39523 will work well for your 2015 GMC Canyon with tandem axle trailer. You will also need the wiring harness # 20127. No plug is present under your dash to connect a brake controller but the necessary wires have already been run and are bundled under the dash.

- Traditionally (at least from 2004 to 2007) Ford has used a green wire on the brake switch to attach to the red wire on a brake controller.
