Specs:
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 left of the module to change your settings.
The red LED indicator light illuminates when the trailer brakes are applied. This light glows brighter as the power output to the trailer brakes increases.
The Hayes Syncronizer 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, so long as you can still easily access the controller and manual override.
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.
The Hayes Syncronizer 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 Syncronizer. 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.
Is this right for you? Product Expert Kathleen M says:
Install your Hayes electric trailer brake controller quickly and easily with this custom wiring adapter. One end plugs into the controller, and the other plugs into the junction box beneath your vehicle's dash.
Features:
To install your Hayes electric brake controller, you need to connect the wiring of the controller to your vehicle. Certain auto manufacturers offer pre-wired options, typically known as tow packages, in which the wiring is run for you from the dash to the trailer connector on the back of your vehicle. Usually when this is done, a port is installed at your dash so that you can easily plug in a brake controller.
This adapter plugs into the port that is built into the electric junction box underneath your vehicle's dash. The black box is located to the left of the steering column, just above the carpet. To plug in the adapter, first remove the cover on the box. The adapter plugs into the second slot from the left, on the top row.
No hardwiring is required to install this adapter. After you plug it into the factory port, you simply plug the other end of the adapter directly into your electric trailer brake controller. Because there are no wires to connect, installation is not permanent. You can unplug and remove your brake controller at any time to transfer it to another vehicle or securely stow it away.

Super easy to install and the additional information they provided for my specific vehicle made it possible for me to have every piece necessary for a seamless installation.
Great price, no delays, came the same day as promised. You should feel very comfortable dealing with etrailer
Great price, no delay as it came the same day as promised. Feel very comfortable dealing with etrailer !
Splicing the wires was no problem. Instructions were good. The only recommendation that I will give is that you trash all screws with flat screw driver heads. I also opted for bolts, nuts & washers for attaching the bracket.
I think it will be a good brake controller, I have not had a time delayed on before.
Nice product and very easily installati on.
works great
Original supplied item was defective, however Hayes customer service immediately sent another unit and it works great. With the addition of a small removable slip in bracket for the console of my 2012 GMC 1500 Crew Cab and the wiring adapter, I can simply plug and play when I need the controller as opposed to a permanent installation that I have in my other pickup.
My Genesis brake contoller s**t the bed. My Genesis was warrantied without a receipt, (thumbs up to Genesis), but did not include the wiring harness. My original Genesis did not have the "Quick Connect". I was going to try to use my original harness, but I did not want to chance burning out a new controller, because I wired something wrong. With the "Quick Connect" harness, your only problem is finding the right connection on your truck. (The harness will ONLY connect to the right position.) The "Quick Connect" harness saves much time and effort over trying to find the correct connections yourself.
Installation was simple and straightforward. Took less than 30 minutes from start to finish.
Works well. I like the delayed brake activation, it seems to be a smoother transition. The custom harness makes installing this controller easy and FAST. Love buying Made in the USA products and etrailer.com has a lot of them.
Looks good!
easy to install. Brakes tested good to trailer. I used self taping screws to mount brackets, rather than the bolts and nuts that it came with.It was to difficult to get my hands in position to use bolts and nuts (no big deal).
Installed in 10mins in 2018 ram 1500 ecodiesel, have not used with trailer yet. Seems good for price, mounting bracket could be made a little better. Good service from e trailer
Cable plugged in easy and works correct ly.
Good controller at a good price. Works as expected. Fast shipping at standard rate. This controller was installed in an 08
Sprinter camper with the help of the on line video from etrailer.
Thanks,
Gary
Fit perfectly. Followed instructions and it works as it should. Great product at a great price.
This is the 2nd one of these I’ve bought. I like the time delay application to the brakes. Always will try to buy products made in the USA. The price went up since I bought this same controller 1 1/2 years ago.
Instructions was very helpful and product worked on a Tow Smart Synchronize trailer brake controller.
Installed in 10 minutes. Works excellent and combined with the wiring adapter was a simple plug and play.
Was easy to install and adjust. Works great applying breaks to my single axle dump trailer.
Controller working now. Tow vehicle needed fuse to power 12V+ pin on 7 way
The trailer seems to be holding up just fine. It was a good investment for my small business and I'm thinking about buying another from you.
Happy with the service I get from etrailer, and the fantastic selection of products. I spoke with both Paula S. and Odelia K. and they were very helpful and knowledgeable, and courteous. I am a kind of "old school" consumer and I like that you provide excellent phone support.
One thing that would be helpful would be a mention right on the product web pages about why there are two seemingly identical listings for each product. Odelia said once one sends a product to the checkout basket then one is given reason for the two choices. It would be less confusing to have that reason in the preceding pages.
Speaking of old school, this is the first time in my long life that I have installed a trailer brake controller and trailer light wiring without having to splice or cut anything. "New school" does have its advantages!
Great store, thank you!
