Brake Controller and Installation Recommendation for a 1993 Volvo 940 Sedan
Question:
1993 Volvo Model 940 sedan with orange / yellow rear blinkers: I have an old convertor in this vehicle to make the separate blinkers work with a standard 4-way plug. I would like to be able to have a 7-way plug so that I can pull our tent trailer which has electric trailer brakes, batteries, etc. Any thoughts on how that might be accomplished??? Thanks,

We have exactly what you need to convert your 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install a brake controller and control the brakes of your trailer.
You would want the part # ETBC7. This comes with everything to install a fully functional 7-way and brake controller. I attached an install video an instructions for you to check out as well.
For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes.
