Can I use the Prodigy wireless brake controller with a 4 way hitch adapter to 7 way or does the 7 way have to be powered from the battery??? i already have a 4 way connector installed on my vehicle?

Expert Reply:
To install the Tekonsha Prodigy RF Brake Controller, part # TK94FR, you will need a 7-way connector on your towing vehicle. This is used to plug the module that is mounted on the trailer frame.
Since you already have a 4-way connector on your vehicle, you will need to install part # 37185. This plugs into the 4-way connector. Then run the black power wire at the back of the 7-way connector to the positive battery post with # 10-1-1 wire and an inline 40-amp circuit breaker like part # 9510.
