• Recommended Parts Needed To Add Electric Brakes To Utility Trailer
  The axles we offer that have a span of 72 inches have either 2,000 lb or 2,200 lb weight capacities. None of our 72 inch axles have the brake mounting flange attached, and all of them have idler hubs, meaning there are no provisions for brakes as there are no drums. To convert the system you currently have and use a 72 inch axle could prove to be quite an extensive task. I recommend going with an axle-less system like part # A35RD545E. This system replaces the axle and leaf spring system...

• Part Recommendations to Install a Brake Controller in a 2012 Kia Sorento with 4-Way
  Since you have the Hopkins 4 way to 7 Way adapter part # 37185 you will only need a few more components to complete a brake controller install on your 2012 Kia Sorento that has a 4-way installed currently. First let's start with a brake controller. I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. Next, to wire up the brake controller you will want to run a section of 10 gauge...

• Brake Controller And Brakes Recommendations For 2010 Kia Sedona And Trailer
  Thank you for the spec sheet on the axle you have on your trailer. I spoke with my contact at Dexter and they told me that you do not need to replace your axle, you can just upgrade the one you have. They told me that you have the brake mounting flange mounted on your axle so what you will want to do is add a new hub and drum, the brakes, and wiring for your trailer, and you should be good to go. The hub and drum I recommend is the etrailer.com Trailer Hub Assembly, part # AKHD-545-35-G-K....

• Recommended Trailer Brake Controller for a 2007 BMW X3 with Factory Trailer Hitch and Wiring
  If your 2007 BMW X3 has a factory 7-way trailer connector and you want to install a brake controller like the Prodigy P3 # 90195 you'll just need to hard wire the controller in. To do so the black wire from the P3 will be connected to the BMW's battery through a circuit breaker and the white wire needs to be grounded. You can use our # 5506 kit to make the connections. The blue wire from the controller is connected to the brake circuit that runs back to the 7-way which you can use #...

• Parts Needed to Add a 7-Way to a 2003 Ford Ranger FX4 for Camper Power
  Since your 2003 Ford Ranger has a 4-way you are going to need a 4 Pole to 7 Pole Adapter part # 37185. This will give you 7-way at the rear of your vehicle. You will only need to make two additional connections for this to work for what you are doing. You will need to run the black wire to the positive side of your vehicle battery through a 40 amp fuse like the part # 9510. I would recommend you use 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 (sold by the foot) to make this connection. This will...

• Troubleshooting Trailer Not Connected with New Brake Controller and Harness on 2011 Ford F-150
  The Prodigy P3 controller # 90195 is an absolute favorite. The fact that when you hit the manual override, your brake lights on your vehicle are working definitely helps. The issue is with the brake output wire somewhere between your controller and the trailer brakes because when it reads a power draw on that wire, it will read on the screen as trailer connected. To determine where the short or connection issue is, I recommend you use a circuit tester with an incandescent light like...

• Troubleshooting Trailer Brakes that Apply Themselves Using the Primus IQ
  The Tekonsha Primus IQ # TK90160 should definitely not be sending a signal until your brake pedal is pressed. One possibility is that the Black wire and the Red wire on the brake controller were installed to the opposite functions. Be sure to check that the controller was installed correctly. The next thing that you will want to do is to check the connector on both your 2010 Chevrolet Suburban and your trailer. Make sure that they are clean and free or debris or corrosion. If they look...

• Brake Controller Only Outputs 3.4 Volts With Controller Set to Max
  If you are testing the connector on your truck with the brake controller set to it highest setting and using the manual override then there is definitely a problem if you are only getting 3.4V. You will want to start off by inspecting the connector on your truck. Look for any white or green looking residue as that can be corrosion. If that looks good then you will want to sever the Blue wire about 6 inches away from your brake controller and test it. If you are getting 12V at that point...

• Brake Controller Recommendation for 2008 BMW X3
  The P3 # 90195 is a fantastic brake controller. I would recommend it highly for you on your vehicle. The Prodigy RF part # TK94FR is a great controller too though which would be easier to wire up so that's a great option too. Sounds like this is the route you'd prefer. What you need to install it is a 7-way with the lighting functions working plus a 12 volt power circuit. For that you'd need to start with a 4-way like part # 119250KIT that you mentioned plus a 7-way adapter part # 37185....

• Parts Needed to Add 7-Way to Vehicle with 4-Way and Activate 12 Volt Accessory Circuit
  The part # 30717 would be exactly what you would need. It would plug into your 4-way to activate it's 7-way taillight circuits. Then to activate the 12 volt power circuit all you need is 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 ran through a circuit breaker like part # 9510 and you'd be set.

• Is the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller Compatible with the HydraStar Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator
  The Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 is actually one of the best options to use with an EOH setup. You should not have any problems using it with the HydraStar Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator # HBA-10 when it is set to EOH mode. Since you tested it with another vehicle and your trailer brakes worked just fine it leads me to believe that the wiring on your 2012 Silverado is messed up somewhere. What you will want to do is use a Circuit Tester # PTW2992 and test the pin in the 5 O'clock position...

• Options for Electric Over Hydraulic Trailer Brakes with 2006 Ford Truck with Integrated Controller
  If you had a Titan BrakeRite Actuator # T4813102 all you would need is a Titan BrakeRite EHB Adapter # T4845900 and you would be good to use your OEM controller. But since you have an Actibrake you have two options. You can either replace the Actibrake with a Titan BrakeRite EHB Electric-Hydraulic Actuator # T4813102 and then install a # T4845900 and then you could use your OEM brake controller from your 2006 Ford Super Duty. Your second option would be to install a brake controller that...

• Recommendation for Using a 7-Way Trailer Connector to Charge a Trailer Battery
  The 12 Volt auxiliary terminal on your 7-way connector can be used to keep the battery on your trailer charged. You will need to run a 10 gauge power wire like # 10-1-1 from the 12 volt auxiliary terminal on the 7-Way trailer connector on the trailer to the positive terminal on the trailer battery and ground the negative terminal of the trailer battery to the trailer frame. This will allow you to maintain a charge on your trailer battery, it will not charge the battery from a discharged...

• Adding a 7-Way Trailer Connector to a 2005 Dodge Ram with Factory 4-Way
  It sounds like the previous owner of your 2005 Dodge Ram did most of the hard work for you. My recommendation is to simplify things. We should start at the 7-Way with hardwiring the remaining wires. First, ground the white wire to the truck frame. that should leave 3 wires to connect. One of them is for the 12 volt power circuit, one is for output to the trailer brakes, and one is for reverse lights or auxiliary power. The wire that is attached to the 11 oclock position on the back of...

• Wiring a 2009 Scion xB to Tow an Aspen Trailer with 6-Way Connector and Separate Turn/Brake Lights
  First, you will need to add a 4-Way trailer wiring harness on the 2009 Scion xB. You can use # 118468, that you have referenced. The rest of the installation will require a little hardwiring since trailers towed by passenger vehicles normally have combined stop and turn signals. What you will need to do is cut off the 4-Way plug after installing the wiring harness on the vehicle. This will leave you with a white wire, a brown wire, a green wire, and a yellow wire. You will need to use...

• Wiring 12-Volt Accessory Circuit to 7-Way Trailer Connector on 1997 Chevrolet 3500 Cab and Chassis
  I believe the remaining wire you're speaking of is actually light blue, and is meant to provide power for a third brake light installed on a camper shell. If you want to run a 12-volt accessory power circuit, you can run it from the positive battery terminal to the 7-way. Your truck MIGHT have a 12-volt accessory wire ran already...you'd just need to make the connections on each end. Look on the driver's side frame rail at the rear of the truck. You're looking for an orange wire. If you...

• Brake Controller Install Recommendation for 2017 Fort Transit T350
  There isn't a brake controller harness under the dash of your 2017 Ford Transit T350. However we can help you wire in a brake controller to the 7-way you have at the rear of your vehicle. First let's start with a brake controller. I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885.

• Troubleshooting Factory Integrated Brake Controller Not Getting Power to Trailer Wiring Connector
  You are correct that the issue is on the vehicle side because you are not getting the brake controller output even when using the manual override. It definitely sounds like you have a short on the brake controller output wire that connects to the 5 o'clock position of your 7 way. I recommend using a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to test for signal along that wire and replace as needed. Since both your 7-way plugs function the same way, a short has to be between that connection and the...

• Adding Electric Brakes to 2021 Scamp Trailer with 2,200 lb Axles
  Since your spindles already have brake flanges on them all you need to add brakes to your trailer are the brake assemblies, the hub/drums, wiring, and possibly a new trailer connector if you don't have a 7-way currently. Since you have 2,200 lb axles the correct assemblies you'd need are the part # K23-103-00 for the left hand side and part # K23-104-00 for the right hand side. For this axle capacity we don't have an etrailer brand equivalent. You'd need 10 gauge wire ran to the assemblies...

• How Are Self Adjusting Trailer Brake Assemblies Normally Adjusted When Trailer is Moving
  To tension self-adjusting brake assemblies like the part # AKEBRK-35L-SA you would need to be travelling forward and at any speed and with the brake pedal or the manual override each application should click the adjusters tighter until they are the correct tightness. It sounds like you would have accomplished this through one of your attempts at this. So the next thing I would check is the gauge of the wires of your brake output circuit. Is it 10 gauge? If not, it would be a good idea...

• Troubleshooting Brakes Not Working Properly Using Hayes Air Actuated Brake Controller
  Start by making sure the ground connection is secure. Assuming it is, I would check the power on the brake controller with a circuit tester like the # PTW2993. I'm guessing it lights up but you can still make sure it is getting enough power by testing the black wire running to it. Once that is done, check for power on the blue brake output wire exiting the controller while using the manual override. If there is no power here it is likely an internal issue. I would contact Hayes to see...

• Parts Needed to Add Electric Drum Brakes to Boat Trailer
  In order to add electric drum brakes to your boat trailer's 3500-lb axle you'll need to confirm that there are brake mounting flanges on your spindles. Brakes for 3500-lb axles are the 10 x 2-1/4-inch size like # AKEBRK-35L (left) and # AKEBRK-35R (right) which use a 4-bolt mounting pattern. Note that either wire on an electric brake can be used for hot/ground. You'll also need to know your current bearings so that you can choose hub/drum assemblies to replace your idler hubs that use...

• Trailer Brakes Fail When Brakes are Applied Over 5mph With a New Brake Controller and Wiring Harness
  If you are getting power to the 5 o'clock pin on the 7-Way connector for your truck (which is for the brake controller), then the problem is most likely with the wiring on your trailer. If you have access to another vehicle with a 7-Way wiring harness, I recommend hooking that up to the trailer as well just to verify. If the trailer works just fine with a different vehicle, then there is an issue with the wiring on your truck. You will have to press the manual override lever on your Prodigy...

• No 12 Volt Power at the Trailer Connector on a Chevy/GMC Pickup Truck or SUV
  If this is on a GM truck or SUV (which is what # PK11916 fits) then it is possible that the wire connected to the 12 volt circuit does not go all the way back to the 7-Way trailer connector. You would have to run that yourself using wire # 10-1-1 sold by the foot. After routing the wire to the back of the truck it will connect to the back of the 7-Way in the 11 o'clock position.
