etrailer.com has been an easy company to work with. They were helpful in making sure we had what we needed to install our trailer hitch successfully. Thank you for your help. We have recommended you to friends and family and will continue to do business with you in the future.

Fast shipping and good quality parts for a fair price. Thank you.

This circuit breaker for electric trailer brakes is working fine after a year's use. No complaints. Good reputable company to deal with.

connectors and breakers to hook up my brake controller arrived in order, installed easily, and lasted 1 year so far...

I purchased the 20 amp CB to go with the Prodigy RF brake controller. This is due to their warning and caution in the installation manual.
by: Dan07/03/2013
Got two of these for rewiring my truck and trailer. These were the best priced I found-even cheaper than the non-auto versions available locally. The shipping was reasonable and delivery time was good.
I was very satisfied and will return for additional items as needed.

Worked out perfectly.
by: Allen08/21/2014
The product is exactly what I expected, I haven't installed it yet.
I will testify that this site is the real deal. Not only did they have the best price for what I wanted but it was delivered to my door at a lower cost than I could have purchased it for locally and it arrived in a timely fashion. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase from this site again if the price is competative for what I'm looking for. I don't live close to any stores so it's most convienent to have it delivered rather than taking the time or expense to go get it. Their service and technical advice is excellant, that's an added bonus.
by: Troy 11/02/2021
I got exactly what I ordered. Just make sure, if you order the fuse box to get the fuses without brackets. A rotary grinder made quick work of the brackets and they fit perfect in the fuse box

Another easy install and wiring would buy again for additional projects.

Simple, reliable, does what it should. A good value.
by: Rick01/31/2011
The PK54520 circuit breaker appears to be a quality product and was simple to install. I hope I never need it to function.
The same product was 3x the price at the local trailer supply establishment.
Thanks
Rick

- Wiring For Circuit Breaker When Installing Brake ControllerThe copper side of a circuit breaker like part # 9510, is the side that attaches to the positive side of the battery. The silver side gets connected to the blue wire that goes to the brake controller. To answer your second question, a 20-amp automatic resetting circuit breaker would be part # PK54520. The two posts are labeled BAT and AUX
view full answer... - Hooking Up Lights for Inside and Enclosed TrailerThe easiest way to do this would be to run a wire to the positive battery terminal, via a 20 amp inline circuit breaker, item # PK54520.
view full answer... - Does it Matter Which Post Connect Where on a Pollak Single-Pole Circuit BreakerYes, the copper side should be connected to the battery, the chrome side should be the output to the brake controller, trailer battery, etc.
view full answer... - Can 2 Circuit Breakers Share the Same 12 Volt Power WireThe problem you may run into when trying to power 2 circuit breakers from the same hot lead is that if there is a back feed problem on one circuit breaker it can affect the other one and cause some problems. It would be best to use a separate hot lead for each circuit breaker.
view full answer... - Bully Brake Controller Wiring on a 2009 Chevrolet SilveradoI have wired a Bully TC-301 Brake controller before and the wiring is as follows. Black = Negative Battery Terminal Red = 12 Volt Constant Power from the Battery Blue = Stop Light Switch Yellow = Power to the Trailer Brakes When connecting the constant power wire from the battery to the Red wire on the brake controller use a 20 amp circuit breaker, item # PK54520. You may also need the Twist-in, 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector for Chevy and GMC Vehicles, item # PK110916, if your truck...
view full answer... - How to Tell Which Terminal is for the Battery on a Pollak In Line Circuit Breaker # PK54520Since your circuit breaker does not have different color terminals you will want to look closely on the Pollak 20 Amp Circuit Breaker, part # PK54520, and the Pollak 40 Amp Circuit Breaker, part # PK54540 for markings. The poles will be marked with BAT right next to the battery terminal and AUX right next to the auxiliary terminal. A circuit breaker should have one of the poles marked as a battery terminal.
view full answer... - Draw-Tite Brake Controller # 5504 Does Not Have Power After Switching Out Goosenecks on a 1999 Z71First thing you need to do is trace back and make sure your Draw-Tite Controller # 5504 is properly and securely hooked up. Your issue sounds as if your black 12V POWER wire has come loose and is not pulling the voltage. I have attached the installation directions as well as the wiring diagram; however, I will briefly go through them. Start with your black wire; it needs to run from the brake controller to the 20A Auto-Reset Circuit Breaker, such as Pollak # PK54520. The red wire runs...

- Troubleshooting the Tekonsha PowerTrac # 39523 Installed on a John Deere TractorI would first check to make sure that you have your Tekonsha PowerTrac # 39523 set at the highest setting before using your manual override. If you don't have it on the highest setting then that would be why it drops to the 5-1/2 - 6 volts. As for the 2-1/2 volts I would be sure that you have a solid ground that is securely connected to a clean, bare-metal surface. You also want to be sure that you have a 20 amp circuit breaker like part # PK54520 between your battery and the brake controller...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting PL Code on Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake ControllerTypically the Prodigy P2 # 90885 power will be connected straight to the battery with just a 20 Amp Circuit Breaker # PK54520 in between. Have you tried bypassing the switch that you used and have you ensured that the switch is rated high enough when it comes to amps? That would be where I would start since the PL code means that there is a power interruption.
view full answer... - Tekonsha 9030 Voyager Brake Activator WiringYou should have four wires coming out of the back of your Tekonsha #9030 Voyager Brake Activator, part # 39510. They should be white, blue, red and black. The white wire is grounded. The red wire must tap into the cold side of your vehicle brakes. The blue wire will run to the trailer connector on the back of your vehicle. The black wire must run to your battery to power the brake controller. If your trailer has 1-2 axles, use a 20 amp circuit breaker, part # PK54520, for this power...
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Install a Prodigy P2 Brake Controller on a 2008 Jeep Grand CherokeeNo plug-in brake controller wiring is available for your 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee, but luckily the P2 brake controller # 90885 includes a pigtail that you can use to hard wire the unit to your vehicle. White: Ground, attached to the vehicle negative battery terminal. Black: 12v lead, attached to the vehicle positive battery terminal with a 20amp or 30amp circuit breaker, parts # PK54520 or # PK54530 respectively. You would use the 20amp breaker for a trailer with 2 to 4 brakes, or...
view full answer... - Installation of Power Wire to Brake Controller and 7-Way Connector on Motor HomeThe connection you will need to use is most likely the chassis connection in the case of the brake controller. You will want the connection that is hot at all times ran to the brake controller so that the trailer brakes can be operated at any time whether the ignition is on or not. The brake controller should be wired through at least a 20 amp circuit breaker, item # PK54520, and a 30 amp circuit breaker, item # PK54530, if the trailer has more than 4 brakes or the brake controller calls...
view full answer... - Where Does Black 12V Power Wire for Prodigy P2 Brake Controller Connect to VehicleTo hardwire a Prodigy P2 brake controller # 90885 in your 2016 Dodge Journey you will need to make the 12V input power connection (for the black wire) at the positive battery post, going through a circuit breaker like 20-amp # PK54520. This value circuit breaker will be fine for trailers having up to 4 brake assemblies but if your trailer has more than 4 braked wheels then instead use a higher-value breaker # 38630 which is rated for 30-amps. The other wires from the P2 (red, white and...
view full answer... - Ran Winch To Get UTV Out of Mud, Now UTV Wont RunAre you referring to the winch or the Mule not running? If it's the winch, you probably blew the 20A circuit breaker like part # PK54520. If its the Mule, I'd recommend reviewing how the winch was installed to check for a wiring problem. You'll also want to make sure that the battery is within a few years old and up to the extra strain caused by running a winch. If there's a wiring problem, you could have blown a main fuse or fusible link on the UTV.
view full answer... - How to Determine Circuit Breaker Amperage Rating for a Brake Controller InstallSince your trailer will only have 4 brake assemblies a 20 amp breaker like the part # PK54520 would be recommended. If you had between 6 and 8 brake assemblies you would want a 30 amp breaker like the part # 38630. I attached a help article on brake controller installs for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Dimensions of Straight Mount and Perpendicular Mount Pollak 20 Amp Circuit BreakersBoth the # PK54520 Straight Mount and # 9506P Perpendicular Mount Pollak 20 amp circuit breaker are 11/16" long. They have a distance of 1-9/16"center to center for the mounting holes, so as long as you have that amount of space you would be able to mount either breaker. I've added links to video reviews of both circuit breakers for you to take a look at.
view full answer... - Size of Circuit Breakers to Use To Install 7-Way Trailer Connector on 2012 Chevrolet EquinoxIf you are installing a 7-way and brake controller you will want to use a circuit breaker in-line when connecting the Black wire from the 7-way to the battery and in-line from the brake controller to the battery. The Black wire will draw 12 volt power. For the Black wire that connects from the rear of the 7-way to the battery it is recommended to use a 40 amp circuit breaker, part # PK54540. The Black wire running from the brake controller to the battery should also have a circuit breaker...

- How Many Trailer Brakes Should be Used with a 20 Amp Circuit Breaker or 30 Amp Circuit BreakerThe recommendation for 2 to 4 brakes is a 20 amp circuit breaker, # PK54520, and for 6 to 8 brakes a 30 amp circuit breaker, # 38630, just as you have stated. Usually, you would go with the smallest sized circuit breaker for the system being used. This is so if there is a problem, it can be caught right away. If you plan on towing trailers with 2 to 4 brakes and trailers with 6 to 8 brakes, it would be best to go with the 30 amp circuit breaker as the 20 amp circuit breaker would not...

As we do not carry this particular breaker 38-101283 anymore you can replace it with a 20-Amp Pollak Circuit Breaker # PK54520

- Troubleshooting No Power to Prodigy P2 Brake Controller Installed in 2012 Dodge JourneyIt sounds like your Prodigy P2 trailer brake controller # 90885 may not be getting the 12V operating power from the Journey's battery. With a hardwired type of installation this input power is routed from the battery positive terminal through a circuit breaker and on to the controller's black power wire. It is possible that if your installation used a non-resetting circuit breaker that the breaker could be tripped/bad. You can use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to check for power on...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Ultra-Fab 3500lb Trailer jack UF38-944017 Stopping When UnderloadI reached out to my contact at Ultra-Fab and there are a few things that could be causing the jack to stop when it is underload, and then working again after 30 seconds. The first thing is it is possible the motor is going bad and drawing more amps to raise and lower which is causing the circuit breaker to trip and reset. This is more often found on older jacks, and you would notice the jack is quite a bit louder when it is raising and lowering compared to when it was new. If this is the...
view full answer... - Brake Controller Wiring Installation in 2012 GMC TerrainThe vehicle wire that needs to connect to the brake controller's red input signal wire is the one that goes to the cold side (load side) of the brake light switch. This is the wire that goes hot only when you press on the brake pedal but at no other time. A circuit tester like # PTW2993 will let you test to find this wire. The remaining three wires from the controller connect as follows: the WHITE ground wire connects to battery ground terminal; the BLACK 12V power wire connects to the...
view full answer... - Is There a Replacement Circuit Breaker Available for the Ultra-Fab UF38-944017 Jack?We do indeed have replacement 20-Amp circuit breakers, like the Pollak Circuit Breaker - Cycling/Automatic Reset - 20 Amp - Straight Mount Bracket # PK54520, but the Auto-Reset Circuit Breaker for Ultra-Fab 3,500-lb Electric A-Frame Jack UF38-101238 is no longer available, unfortunately. Though this will not be a direct replacement available from Ultra-Fab, it will definitely work with your # UF38-944017.
view full answer... - Brake controller Installation with OEM Chrysler Wiring Harness InstalledI would recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy Proportional Brake Controller, item # 90885, for your vehicle. This is one of our best selling proportional units and it will help conserve the brakes on the trailer and vehicle by applying the appropriate amount of braking pressure to the trailer brakes based on your settings and the speed which the vehicle is decelerating. This controller has a digital display and a manual brake lever to power the trailer brakes. If you had a 7-Way wiring harness...
