- First you are going to have to have the programming removed from you ECU for the factory trailer brake controller. As I assume you liked the clean looks of the factory controller I would recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Brake Controller # RED44FR. This has a small dash mounted control knob for a clean appearance and simple operation. To connect to the factory wiring you will need the Plug-and-Play Wiring Harness # 331-TPH-010.

- No, I am sorry we do not because Tekonsha did not make one for your 2022 Nissan Pathfinder. The Prodigy P3 Brake Controller item # 90195 includes a universal harness you can use but you'll need to cut and splice wires.
Curt does have a plug in play adapter but it only works with their brake controllers. It is the Curt Custom Wiring Adapter for Trailer Brake Controllers item # C51382. It will allow you to easily install the Curt Spectrum Trailer Brake Controller item # C51170.

- If the guy who installed your brake controller did his homework he should have gotten power for the brake controller from the factory wiring that was designed for brake controller installs and not from the 12 volt accessory circuit that you replaced the fuse on. So I would check to see where the black wire of you brake controller wiring is ran to. There should be a separate fuse for the brake controller power circuit though which would be the correct one to replace to get the controller...

- Hi Harold,
When installing a brake controller like the Prodigy P3 # 90195 or Redarc Tow-Pro Elite # RED44FR on your 2020 GMC Canyon with the tow package, all you need to do is connect the wiring that comes with those controllers to the wires already run under your dash.

- Hi Shane,
Thanks so very much for your purchase from etrailer of the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195. We appreciate your business and the issue with it not being connected could be due to how a brake controller installs on certain year Silverado's, including 2008.

- There used to be a plug and play option available from Tekonsha with their 3027-P adapter which would allow you to use one of their controllers like the Prodigy P3 # 90195. Since that is no longer available from Tekonsha you could cut off the factory connector and wire in the Controller # 90195 or use a trailer mounted option like the Autowbrake # 3430001 you found.

- Thanks for reaching out, Alan!
In order to install a Curt brake controller to your 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500 you'll need the Adapter # C51525, yes. This will connect under the dash to that larger gray connector you found.
If you don't already have the brake controller then I really like the Curt TriFlex NEXT Trailer Brake Controller # C24VV as it has a proportional operation so the trailer brakes match the time and intensity of your truck braking.

- Hello Chris. What you are describing sounds completely normal and it sounds like your Tekonsha P# controller # 90195 is installed correctly. With the trailer connected the display should show 0.0 when the brakes are applied, and it should show the current gain setting when the manual override is applied.
The P3 has an internal inertia sensor. It senses deceleration and generates an output that is based on deceleration. When the vehicle is not in motion, the controller will not sense deceleration...

- Personally Jay, I have never been a fan of the Curt Echo in any of its forms # C79DR, # C51180 or # C27JR. They seem to have a lot of connection issues which causes them to not perform well. As you already have a 4-way I recommend using our 7-Way Kit # ETBC7 which provides you with a connector which plugs into your 4-way and the wiring for a charge line and Brake Controller # RED52VR. This Redarc controller has a small dash mounted knob which is easy to use and the proportional braking...
