Question:

I was looking at your part 20265 and wondering if its possible to buy the opposite connector for it. I have a brake controller on my Toyota and I want to be able to move it to my jeep using the connector already wired on my controller. Thanks.

At this time we do not carry the vehicle side of the Brake Control Wiring Adapters for an installation application like you are suggesting. But, I do have a recommendation for you.

You could use a 12 inch Car and Trailer End Loop, item # 9653P, and wire the brake controller wiring to this. You would want to attach the vehicle side connector, 3 protected poles and exposed ground pole, to the vehicle and the trailer side to the wiring from the brake controller. You would then need another vehicle side connector, another # 9653P would be the most economical way to go, to attach to the Jeep wiring. This would make your brake controller portable between the two vehicles.

Just be sure not to get the wiring colors confused and short out the brake controller or vehicle wiring. I would lay out the wiring and write down a color code, so I could easily transfer the same wiring colors to the second vehicle.
