Question:
Have a air brake tow vehicle with electric brake trailer. Looking at your website and can you recommend someone in the Dallas, Texas area that could make the install and wiring of such a brake controller? Thanks

I recommend using a brake controller like the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller, part # 90885. This is our most popular controller because it is easy to install and use.
When installing this controller you will need to find the stop light signal using a circuit tester like part # 40376. This would be the wire that carries a current only when the brake pedal is pressed. I have attached some helpful articles that explain brake controllers and their installation.
