Will The Curt TriFlex Trailer Brake Controller # C24VV Work as a Replacement For Old Tekonsha?
Question:
I have an old 1 ton Dodge ram. It has an old 2002 Tekonsha brake controller in it. The old controller has 4 wires coming out the back. I want to upgrade to a self leveing controller. Would this be a good replacement for the current controller. I guess all I would need to add would be the harness that plugs into the new controller since the Tekonsha is a direct wire with no plug. Just cut the wires and wire the new ones to match. The old one seems to be fading out when applied. Thanks

Expert Reply:
Yes, the Curt TriFlex Trailer Brake Controller # C24VV can be used to replace the Tekonsha controller in your 2002 Dodge Ram 1 ton pickup. I do recommend wiring in the Pigtail # C51515 so you will be able to easily disconnect the controller in the future. This will help in the event you have a wiring issue down the road or wish to move the controller to a new truck.
