• Using Inline Fuse or # 9506P 20 Amp Breaker To Install Brake Controller On 2014 Grand Caravan
  You can indeed use an inline fuse holder, but the # 16167-1 fuse holder you mention is meant for 14-16 gauge. If you can find an inline fuse holder that uses 10 gauge wire, that would be fine. The # 9506P circuit breaker does not need to be fastened to the sheet metal using screws, as no ground is needed. You could use zip ties or even double sided tape, if needed. I've linked you to install details as well as an install video showing a brake controller being installed on a Grand Caravan...

• Amperage of Factory Brake Controller Pigtail on 2005 Dodge Ram
  We have never come across this 15 amp maximum. Take a look to see how that 12V feed is fused. I would consult the owners manual to find the location of the fuses that manage the towing circuits on your truck. They are usually located under the hood. Usually the 12v power feed for the brake controller has a 20 amp fuse for a 2 axle application. If you are concerned about it, you can always run a separate hot lead via a 20 amp circuit breaker like part # 9506 to the battery. For a two axle...

• Running 12V Wire To Rear Of Vehicle To Power Digital Sign
  Since you said you are pulling 2.2 amps using a 12V system for your digital advertising sign on the back of your vehicle, you should not have any issues with the wiring on your truck or Suv. With the power draw you said you need it sounds like you may be using LED lights which draw considerably less power than incandescent lights. Depending on the wiring for the sign you will need to get the power from the battery back to the sign. You can use a 7-way harness on the back of your vehicle...

• Troubleshooting Trailer Brake Controller with No Signal on Black 12V Power Wire
  Typically for brake controllers, the black wire provides 12V power from battery to the brake controller. Since you said there is no signal on the black wire going to the controller, this tells us that there is something wrong with the wire or circuit breaker and means the controller is not getting any power. If the controller has no power, then it cannot send a brake signal back to the trailer brakes. Since this wire comes directly from the battery, there should always be signal on the...

• Wiring The Blue wire on 4-pole to 5-pole Adapter
  The blue wire on the Trailer Wiring Adapter 4-pole to 5-pole is normally used for boat trailer connections where the trailer surge brakes need to be locked out. The blue wire is connected to the vehicles backup light circuit so that when the vehicle is shifted into reverse the surge brake coupler will not activate the trailer brakes when backing up. This adapter, blue wire included, is meant to be connected at all times when towing the trailer. The blue wire could be connected to another...

• Is a Cover Necessary to Protect Circuit Breakers Once Installed on a 2001 Toyota Land Cruiser
  The circuit breakers do not need to be covered, as they should be mounted in an unobtrusive area under the hood of your 2001 Toyota Land Cruiser, typically on the back wall below the windshield, or inside the driver side fender, near the vehicle battery. No snap on cover is available. If you choose, you could probably put some cap nuts on the exposed posts on the circuit breakers, but if there does seem to be some risk that the posts on the breakers would come into contact with anything,...

• Wiring and Installing an Electric Brake Controller on a 1986 P30 Chassis Motorhome
  Brake controllers are not vehicle specific items so there are not diagrams available for individual vehicles. We do have a help page on installing brake controllers that will walk you through the process, but I will briefly run through the process to give you an idea of what has to be done. Most brake controllers have 4-Wires, typically they are: blue, black, red and white. The white wire is a ground, so it needs to be connected to any solid ground point. The red wire is the stop light...

• Plugged In Electric Fireplace And Lost Power To Two Axle Wildwood Trailer
  It sounds to me like you may have overloaded your trailer's circuit by plugging those two heaters in at the same time. What I recommend you do is install a 30 amp circuit breaker like # PK54230. This will protect your trailer's electrical circuits from situations like that happening again. A couple good "rule of thumb" suggestions is to plug appliances directly into outlets, not extensions cords. Extension cords add receptacles to plug into but do not change the amount of power being received...

• Brake Controller Installation on 2008 Chevy Trailblazer
  The orange wire found under the dash that would provide power to the brake controller is already circuit protected, so you would not need an additional circuit breaker like the # 9506P you referred to. The wiring connections would be made as follows: Orange tow pkg wire connects to black wire on controller Dark blue tow pkg wire connects to blue wire on controller Light blue tow pkg wire connects to the red controller wire Black tow pkg wire connects to the white brake controller wire The...

• Troubleshooting A Non-Working Lippert High-Speed Power Stabilizer Jack
  You'll actually need a 20amp circuit breaker like # 9506P between the battery and the switch for your Lippert High-Speed Power Stabilizer Jack # LC298707. The 6amp circuit breaker you referenced goes between the switch and the motor. I've attached a wiring diagram below that shows just how this should wired up. Most likely the 20 circuit breaker/fuse that was originally installed with this system is blown and just needs to be replaced. I also recommend checking the ground as a bad ground...

• Recommended Circuit Breaker to Use In-Line with Battery Isolation Solenoid for Switched Lights
  The Battery Isolation Solenoid # PK5231201 is not circuit breaker protected so the power running in and out of it will be different for each vehicle. I recommend using a circuit breaker like the In-Line Circuit Breaker - 20 Amp - Perpendicular Mount Bracket # 9506P to protect your switch and light. This has an automatic reset when over-current is removed and cycles continuously during over-current condition to protect your accessories.

• Dim Display When Installing Tekonsha Prodigy On 1999 Dodge Van
  I spoke with my contact at Tekonsha about your 1999 Dodge van and the Tekonsha Prodigy Brake controller. They told me that if you are having a problem with a display being dim, you may have an issue with the ground wire connection. You want to make certain you have a good ground connection, or it can cause issues with the display and function of the controller. When you are hard wiring the controller you can use a circuit tester, part # PTW2993, to test the wires you are connecting to...

• Use of the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 without Removing the 7-Way Plug
  Absolutely! You can install the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 4 Axles # 90885 without ever having to remove the 7-way plug already installed on your 1996 GMC Sierra 1500. The # 90885 comes with a splice-in harness that connects to the wiring under your dash. Since there is not a plug-and-play customized harness that is compatible with your truck, it is important to note that you need the 20-Amp circuit breaker # 9506P for 2- to 4-brake applications or the 30-Amp...

• What Size Wire Should be Used for the 12V Power Supply and Ground Pins on a 7-Way Trailer Connector
  When we install a 7-Way, we run the 12V power wire directly to the positive terminal on the battery with a 20, 30, or 40 amp auto-reset circuit breaker, like part # 9506P, 38630, or 9510. If you are using a 40 amp breaker you will definitely want to use 10 gauge wire. We also recommend using 10 gauge for ground wires on 7-Way connectors. That is how we wire them in house and most of the 7-Way connectors are molded for 10 gauge wire in the ground pin.

• Where to Install Prodigy P-2 Brake Controller # 90885 on a 2010 Mercedes GL450
  We do not have vehicle specific information for installing the # 90885 brake controller on your 2010 GL450, but as a general rule you will need to be able to mount the unit in an easily accessible location. Usually the brake controller is mounted near the driver's right or left knee, so that you would have access to the emergency brake function if needed. Since no custom wiring is available for your vehicle, you would need to hardwire to install the brake controller. The unit includes...

• Protecting Tekonsha P2 Brake Controller
  Usually with lower quality brake controllers something like a 20-AMP # 9506P or 30-AMP Circuit Breaker # 38630 would work (20-AMP for 2/4 brake and 30-AMP for 6/8 brake applications). Most wiring harnesses come with inline fuses integrated with them but if not, you can use the circuit breakers above. The 20 or 30 AMP circuit breakers can handle the max current generated by the controller. You are correct, a 50 PIV Diode would also be a way to protect, but the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 is a...

• Brake Controller Wiring Instillation On a 2021 Toyota Highlander
  I recommend the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 2 Axles - Proportional Item # C51180. If the dealership is installing the 7 pole connector, this controller doesn't require any additional wires to be ran inside the vehicle. Your cell phone is used as the controller. If the dealership only connected the wires for the light functions, the only thing that may need to be done is the power wire from the 7 pole may need to be extended to the battery. A circuit breaker is going...

• Troubleshooting Trailer Bake and Turn Signals Not Working on Trailer Towed by 2003 Ford F-250
  A pulse preventer would be needed if when towing with the hazards on, the display on the brake controller also flashes. This could then potentially be felt in the trailer brakes if the brake controller is set to a high level. It would not help with the turn signal and brake light problem. In situations like this, it's best to start with the easiest possible solutions. First, I recommend cleaning the connectors on both the truck and the trailer. Any dirt or corrosion could cause a problem....

• Troubleshooting Pro-Series Brake Controller in a 2016 Dodge Ram
  It sounds like maybe your controller isn't applying the brakes if the .c is showing when pressing the brake pedal. You will want to check to be sure you are tapped into the correct brake light wire. This is the wire that is only hot when the brake pedal is pressed. You will also want to make sure you installed the correct circuit breaker per the number of brake applications on your trailer. 20-Amp circuit breaker # 9506P for 2- to 4-brake applications and 30-Amp circuit breaker # 38630...
