Expert Reply:
In order to use the trailer brakes with an electric trailer brake controller you'll need an electric over hydraulic actuator if you don't already have one, I recommend the Hydrastar Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator part # HS381-9065 for drum or part # HS381-9067 for disc. In order to make an electric over hydraulic actuator work with a factory trailer brake controller you'll just need an adapter. I recommend the Hydrastar Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator Adapter Module part # HBA-CAM which wires in on the trailer. It works with all electric actuators and factory trailer brake controllers.
