Will a Curt Brake Controller Wiring Harness Fit a Hayes Brake Controller on a 2012 Toyota Tacoma
Question:
I already have a Hayes #81725 brake controller, Will the Curt #51362 wiring adapter fit this brake controller? I am putting it on a 2012 toyotaTacoma. The Curt brand adapter plug is less expensive than the Hayes. Thanks

Curt brake controller wiring harness # C51362 is only a fit for Curt brake controllers but you could use it if the Hayes controller you have has wires and a plug or just wires sticking out of the back. But if it just has a socket for a plug then you cannot. It looks like all of the current Hayes controllers, see link, do have wires and a plug sticking out of the back.
What you would do is cut off the connector on the brake controller if present and remove the connector on the curt harness that would normally plug into a brake controller. Then just wire them up together color for color.
White is ground, black is 12 volt power, red is input from the brake switch, and blue is output to the trailer brakes.
