Installation of Tekonsha Brake Controller Adapter

This adapter plugs into the 4-pin connector in your vehicle's junction box. The box is located underneath the dash, to the left of the steering column, just above the carpeting.


To install your electric brake controller you need to connect the wiring of the controller to your vehicle. Certain manufacturers offer pre-wired options, typically known as tow packages, wherein these wires are run for you from the dash to the trailer connector on the back of your vehicle. Often, a brake controller wiring harness is included with your tow package. This harness plugs into a port beneath your dash and connects to the four wires of the brake controller. If, however, you have a brake controller with a plug in place of the four loose wires, you can use the Tekonsha adapter.


This adapter requires no hardwiring. It is designed to plug directly into your electric brake controller for the simplest installation possible. Because there are no wires to connect, installation is not permanent. You can unplug and remove your brake controller at any time and securely stow it away.

2000 Chevrolet Silverado

I had purchased and used the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller on my 2000 Silverado with good results. When I got a new-to-me 2104 Silverado, I thought I could just buy a new cable and I was correct. It was delivered quickly and plugged in with no issues. The new truck's lower dash panel is more vertical than the older truck and I didn't want to drill holes in it for the mount, so I purchased heavy duty Velcro tape and cut it to fit. It has worked without issues.

FAST SHIPPING!! Great products!!!,
I highly recommend purchasing from etrailer!! Easy to put together and install only takes minutes!! I'm using these products to pull a 30ft travel trailer and it does a GREAT job! Hooking up the distribution bars is so fast and easy they just slide in and your done, and the brake controller automatically sees your trailer and saves your settings, so you don't have anything else to do!!

Perfect fit. Allowed me to transfer my break controles from my Pathfinder to my GMC.

I do wish it was a few inches longer, I could had ran the wires a bit cleaner up under the dash.

Still works… no issues



by:

Smooth control. Brake action is easily adjustable while on the road. Display is clear and easily read. Very happy with this controller.



by:

Simple plug and play for 2019 Tahoe. Instructions were adequate and took 5 mins to install. Works great so far with the prodigy brake controller.



by:
2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Received the wiring harness and bracket for the brake controller quicker than thought. Though there was a lack of instructions enclosed I found explanations on line on Etrailer site that detailed installation. The only thing missing was though the wiring harness fit, it did not snap into place. Not sure if that is correct or not. Products performed without any complications though. I would recommend these pieces to others.



by:
2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LD

The wiring adapter I ordered was easy to install by following the included instructions! It is vehicle specific ,so I ordered one that fits my 2019 silverado 1500.It plugged into the 4 prong receptacle inside the block box under the dash to the left of the brake pedal against the fire wall.The other end plugged into the brake controller that I ordered(the wire adapter fits several different brands) I installed the Kenosha Primus IQ. Both items had concise, clear instructions with them.After finishing the install I plugged in the travel trailer and set the the brake controller by the instructions and it is working great!The install took me about 20 minutes.

This cable made it very simple to connect to my Tahoe. I appreciate that they knew which cable I needed so I didn't have to wire it in myself. I wish all web sites made it this simple. The instructions with the pictures made it very easy to follow and it worked first time. GREAT JOB!!!

The Tekonsha P3 is an outstanding controller. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a good for a user friendly controller with nice options. It looks great in my 2014 Silverado. Buying from etrailer was awesome. I suggest getting the wiring harness made specifically for your truck as well. Thanks etrailer.

I was in a bit of a spot and needed a trailer braking system in a hurry for my 2018 GMC Sierra pickup. After looking around at all the local automotive shops and part stores in the area... I was at my wit's end as no one that I spoke with had any information as to whether or not the unit they had would work for my truck. So I jumped online as it was getting down to crunch time and I needed the unit as I was to pick up the travel trailer and a couple of days. I went online and found etrailer.com
After very little research and a quick phone call to tech support... they knew exactly what I needed along with the adapter cord that plugs right into the fuse panel. It took me all of 10 minutes to install the unit and it works phenomenal. Also due to the amount of time I had to get the unit and get it installed they expedited the shipping and I had it the next day. These folks know exactly what they're doing and what you need and will not disappoint. I have never had an easier and more pleasurable installation of an aftermarket product. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you very much again a very satisfied customer. I purchased the Primus IQ which is a proportional braking system and again it came with a harness that went right into the fuse panel in my truck. The instructions were easy to follow and a unit works very very well. As I said 10 minutes to put it in at the most. Great job guys thanks again.

After visiting with the sales professional at etrailer.com they were able to get me exactly the harness I needed that fit my brand new GMC 2021 pickup that made it up to the V brake controller they know what theyre doing this gentleman that I talked with did a phenomenal job of pairing up with what I needed and it went in without a hitch



by:

The Tekonsha plug in wiring adapter works perfectly. I could not be more pleased. Thank you.



by:

Too short to mount your brake controller where you want it? The parts you needed to make it longer were right in front of you. I bought this adapter harness along with the Prodigy P3, which also came with it's own harness and attached pigtails. Cut off controller connection on the 3016, and wired up the supplied pigtail harness that came in the P3 box. Took 10 minutes and I had myself plenty of extra length. Have not installed it yet but it looks simple enough with the video tutorial that eTrailer has available.



by:

I'm in the process of getting a larger trailer to haul my vintage tractors on and needed a brake controller. After reading the reviews I decided on the P3, can't wait to give it a try. Installation was a breeze, like other reviewers mentioned it took longer to decide where I wanted it than the actual installation.



by:

Looks like this thing was dropped a few times which damaged the paint but I guess oh well when you're short on time you just have to deal with it.



by:

Worked as intended.



by:

It was a direct fit and worked flawlessly. etrailer delivers quality products and service. Which is hard to find.



by:

Easy to install. Only left is to hook up the trailer. 15 minute install. Very easy with the wiring harness.



by:

One of the easiest additions I’ve done. 15 minutes maybe.

2015 Chevrolet Silverado

The products works just as marketed. Installation took only 15 minutes on my 2014 Silverado. I'm very happy with this purchase.

  • Bypassing Factory Trailer Brake Controller on 2015 GMC Sierra 3500
    The bypass method for the factory integrated trailer brake controller is the same on a GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado. I have attached an article for you below. The process is basically just cutting the blue wire from the back of the controller and routing your own to the trailer connector. The Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90195 will be a great option and can then be used with the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers part # 3016.

  • Will Brake Controller From 2015 Chevy Silverado Install Same Way as 2018 Chevy Silverado
    Yes, the brake controller install wiring harness is the same between a 2015 Chevy Silverado and a 2018 Silverado so your current setup would easily transfer to the new truck. For example the # 3016 that you referenced would fit both trucks with a Tekonsha brake controller like the popular P3 part # 90195.

  • Recommended brake Controller And Plug-In Adapter For 2015 Chevrolet 1500 With Tow Factory Package
    The towing package can mean different things for vehicles. Your 2015 Silverado 1500 with the tow package probably includes an upgraded engine oil cooler, a transmission cooler, a trailer hitch, 7-way at the rear of the truck, and automatic locking rear differential on non Z71 models. The brake controller I recommend is the prodigy P3, part # 90195. This is one of our most popular because it is easy to install and operate.

    Your 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT Texas Edition comes with a factory tow package. That makes finding the correct wiring harness very easy as it is just plug and play. For your truck I'd recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller with wiring harness # 90195. This Prodigy P3 is a proportional brake controller with a customizable LCD display. It has 3 different boost levels and diagnostic troubleshooting displays that you don't need a manual to decipher. It also has...

  • Wiring 3rd Brake Light on Truck Cap for 2015 GMC Sierra 2500 Duramax
    The dark blue wire that you found actually coming from your Sierra 2500's 7-Way connector carries the signal for the trailer's electric brakes. You won't want to tap into this wire for the third brake light on your topper because of the variance in voltage that would be carried on this wire that is dependent on your braking. This would result in a brake light on your topper that can be extremely dim or bright depending on how hard you're slamming on the brakes or how you have the brake...

    We have been told that the Dexter DX Series Electric Over Hydraulic Brake Actuator for Disc Brakes # K71-651 is compatible with the factory brake controllers on new trucks like your 2019 GMC Sierra, though our experience has been that they are not always particularly reliable.

    In order to bypass your factory installed controller in your 2018 GMC Sierra 3500 and install an aftermarket brake controller like the Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller, # 90885, with Plug-In Wiring Adapter, # 3016, you will have to make a couple of cuts and connections.

  • Installing Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller On a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LD
    The Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter # 3016 is the correct adapter to connect to the factory brake controller on your 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LD. This connector only has 4 pins versus the 14 pin harness # 3064-P that fits the redesigned 2019 Silverado 1500. I have linked an installation video below that will show the installation of the Prodigy P3 # 90195 with the correct pigtail # 3016 on your Silverado. The factory connection is located behind the cover on firewall on your Silverado.

  • Brake Controller and Install Harness Recommendation for 2020 Chevy Tahoe
    Yes, the brake controller install harness part # 3016 that you referenced is the correct harness for your 2020 Chevy Tahoe. I recommend the Brake EVN # TK63VR that you referenced too as this is a proportional brake controller which means it senses how hard you are applying the vehicle brakes and then applies a relative amount to the trailer's brakes. It's also very reliable and cost effective as well. I attached an install video for this on a similar GM truck as your Tahoe for you to...

  • How to Install a Brake Controller on a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
    To install a brake controller on your 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT 4x4, you will just need the vehicle specific plug-in adapter. These adapters are usually brand specific. For example, if you go with the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 brake controller, # 90195, which is one of the top brake controllers on the market, then you will want to use their adapter, # 3016.

The P3 part # 90195 is what I recommend as it is the best overall controller and best one for activating the EOH style of brakes. To install this in your 2016 Chevy Silverado you'd just need the install harness part # 3016 and you'd be set.
