Question:
Does the Hayes Blackbird controller or the wiring harness #081785 need to have a ground wire on it for a 2014 Toyota Tundra
asked by: James
Expert Reply:
I think what you mean is does wiring harness # HA81785-HBC require a separate and additional ground wire for a 2014 Toyota Tundra. Good news! It doesn't. Only the Tekonsha brake controller wiring harness, # 3040-P, has that additional ground wire since the ground in the factory connection point is insufficient for the Tekonsha controllers.
The Hayes harness # HA81785-HBC only uses the factory ground so no additional ground is needed for the controller to operate effectively and properly.
