Brake Controller Plug Location on my 2019 Subaru Ascent

Question

Question:

Hi! I have zoomed in on your photos and tried turning upside down in my 2019 Subabu to see this plug in. I cannot figure out how to remove the panel covering it. I am wondering if you have better photos and/or a video showing the removal of the panel?

The location to plug the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter part # 3062-P is just above the driver's side kick panel just behind the hood release latch mounting block. It will be wrapped in black (most often) tape to keep it clean and free of debris. It will be taped up to another main harness and this is likely causing your issue. Please see the attached photo for the exact location.

Since the pin weight of your camper is 2.1k, I recommend going with the LoadLifter 5000 opposed to the 7500. While technically there is not reason you couldn't use the 7500 kit, it really is not necessary for a camper like yours. Generally the…
