Weatherproofing Wiring For Autowbrake Brake Controller

Updated 07/02/2024 | Published 07/01/2024

Question:

On the page for brake controllers for a 2020 Toyota Highlander, each controller includes the phrase with factory Tow Package. What exactly is meant by this? The vehicle Ive got has a hitch installed with a 4-pin connector. To tow a small travel trailer I know I need a brake controller and a wiring harness. Am I missing something? Thanks.

Hello George,

Apologies but I don't see the page for the 2020 Highlander saying the phrase Factory Tow Package. Was it a different vehicle possibly?

Please ignore previous (absurd) question about 7-pin adapters. But I do wonder about weatherproofing Autowbrake wiring into into a junction box.

@GeorgeB No worries, and in regard to weatherproofing for the Autowbrake Electric Brake Controller # 3430001, start by using the Junction Box and Installation Kit for Autowbrake Trailer-Mounted Electric Brake Controller # 3430001-JBK. This comes with hollow grommets so you can keep the box closed for the wiring and run it through wire loom like # 39035.
