Question:

If I buy Tekonsha brake controller 39510 What else do I need to put this on my dumptruck? I dont see the complement connector to the unit. Is that purchased seperately?

Expert Reply:

Trailer brake controllers such as the Tekonsha Voyager # 39510 are not vehicle-specific but the parts required to install one can be specific to a year/make/model vehicle. For instance, many pickups have a port under the dash to allow quick plug-in installation of the Voyager. To find the correct harness you can enter your vehicle info into our Fit Guide.

You can also always hardwire a controller using our all-inclusive kit # ETBC7. This has all the parts you need other than the controller itself and the 4-pole flat wiring harness that needs to be already installed on the vehicle.

You can refer to the two linked help articles for additional information regarding controller installation.
