2012 Land Rover Range Rover HSE Brake Controller Install Port Location

Question

Question:

Hi, I’m trying to put a brake controller on the subject. It has factory wiring for the hitch and 4/7-way connector. I cannot seem to locate where the wiring harness is on this vehicle. I’ve removed panels by the center console and also by the brake but don’t see it as would exist on your LR4 example images albeit a different model than mine. Given that you sell the ford-Oem, compatible cable I assume the controller harness must exist. Any ideas on location? Alternatively I could use the RF approach but I’m not certain if the Rover supplies power. Any advice is much appreciated.

You will be looking for a 6-prong gray rectangular plug near the steering column to use the install harness part # 3035-P to install the Prodigy P2 brake controller you referenced part # 90885. If you still can't find it let me know and I'll do so more digging. Worst case scenario though you'd have to hardwire in the brake controller with the kit part # 5506.

That's a very good question, we tend to be extra cautious and say to use 10 gauge wire because that would be more than enough. When you get into longer trailers that will end up using a lot of wire the heavier gauge wire becomes more necessary.…

Hi Larry, I can definitely understand your frustration, and based on your testing, that low voltage at the 7-way is not normal and does point to an issue on the truck side rather than the trailers. Also, thank you for your photo. The good news is you…
