  • Trailer Brake Controller
  • Wiring Adapter
  • Wired to Brake Controller
  • Tekonsha
  • Vehicle Specific

Streamline the installation of your trailer brake controller with this custom adapter. Simply connect the wires of the harness to your brake controller and then plug the other end into the built-in port beneath your 's dash.


Features:

  • Pigtail wiring adapter eases installation of your electric trailer brake controller
  • Connector end plugs into the built-in port beneath the dash of your vehicle
  • Wire end connects to the wires on your brake controller with the included butt connectors
    • Compatible with time-delayed and proportional brake controllers from TrailerMate, Draw-Tite, and Tekonsha
  • Limited 1-year warranty


Installation of Tekonsha Brake Controller Adapter

To install your electric brake controller, you need to connect the wiring of the controller to your vehicle. Certain auto manufacturers offer pre-wired options, typically known as tow packages, wherein wiring is run for you from the dash to the trailer connector on the back of your vehicle. When this is done, a port is installed at your dash so that you can easily plug in a brake controller.


For most applications, the factory plug is located beneath the dash, near the center console, but you will have to check the instructions to find the exact location for your vehicle.


To hook this adapter up to your trailer brake controller, just connect the 4 wires of the harness - ground, power, brake switch, and brake power - to the corresponding wires on the brake controller. If your brake controller came with a plug built into its wiring harness, you will have to cut off the plug and connect to the wires themselves.

Perfect fit, probably didn't hurt that the aftermarket brake controller was also manufactured by Tekonsha, so all of the wire guages and colors matched up easily.

Lincoln Navigator

Very satisfied with the Dexter 58-8 brake controller - easy to adjust, and works great on my Navigator. The wiring adapter plugged right in and everything works as it should. The hardest part of installation, was making a heaver bracket to hold the unit. I made custom strap out of aluminum which holds the unit up out of the way, but still within easy reach. I've used the unit a couple of times pulling a car trailer in the past year and it works great.



by:

Towed a dual axle trailer today, everything works well. Couldn't be more pleased.

Clear instructions, everything ready to go out of the box, minimal tools and no experience required. I am mechanically inclined but not one bit knowledgeable about cars and this whole deal was a breeze.



by:

Excellent product. Just as described. Great service with easy to follow instructions. A very good company to do business with!

Works great!

Made the wiring of the controller into my F150 a snap. Literally. Just snap it into the existing truck harness and done.



by:
Ford F-250 Super Duty

Made installation easy on my F250. Don't know why, but I did not take pics of the harness spliced into the other harness, and hooked up.



by:
Ford Explorer

This plug-in made it quick, simple, and straight-forward to wire-in the brake controller to my computer-intensive fifth-generation Ford Explorer. I would recommend.



by:

This harness worked perfectly to connect the brake controller to my factory wiring.

2019 Ford F-53

Exactly what I needed to properly connect the brake controller to my 2019 Ford F53 chassis. eTrailer comes through for me once again.



by:

The adapter fit perfectly and was just as described in the pictures and detailed description.



by:

Very good service. Everything worked as prescribed.

Easy install. Haven't towed with it yet so not sure how it compares to a traditional controller.

Perfect fit

Good fit, Good quality.

  • Which Plug Under The Dash Is The Factory Brake Controller Plug On A 2001 Ford F250 Super Duty
    On your 2001 Ford F250 Super Duty with the towing package the brake controller plug connector is located under the dash, near the steering column. You will be looking for a 6 prong rectangular plug. The location for the plug should be under the steering column toward the left. If you have the factory brake controller adapter it will plug into the plug under the dash and the bare wires will be attached to the brake controller color to color. If you need a brake controller wiring adapter...

  • Brake Controller Wiring for a 2003 Land Rover Defender SW
    The Universal Brake Control Wiring Adapter Ford, Land Rover, Lincoln, Mercury, part # 3035-S, will fit Land Rover LR3 and Range Rover within the model years 2005-2007. We do not have a plug-in adapter for the 2003 Land Rover Defender. That would lead me to believe that there is not a port under the dash of that year, make and model of vehicle. You will need to hardwire your Land Rover to accommodate a brake controller. You can do so with the Brake Controller 7 & 4 Way Installation Kit,...

If you use the P-3 mentioned here you will need the # 3035-P Ford wiring harness.

The Universal Mounting Panel # 331-TPSI-001 can be used on dash panels that are up to 7mm (9/32 inches) thick.

    For your 2002 Lincoln Navigator I recommend you choose a brake controller based on the style desired inside your vehicle. If you want absolutely no changes to the inside of your vehicle, you can use the Curt Echo Wireless # C51180 which will use a mobile app for setup and manual override. If you want a hardwired system with minimal change to the dash of your vehicle, I recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite # RED44FR which has a small dash insert option and uses the hardwired box in a more...

  • Pin Out of Brake Controller Connector on 2021 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
    Other than some slight cosmetic changes, there haven't been any appreciable changes in the chassis of the Land Rover Range Rover Sport since the first model year of the 2nd generation in 2013. Tekonsha/Draw-Tite nor the rest of the companies have tested the pinout of the 2021 model, but there's no reason to believe it's been changed from the 2020 model. I've heard nothing that indicates the pinout of the 2021 is any different, but you can confirm this for yourself as described below. The...

    I looked up the installation instructions for your brake controller. I don't have a diagram, but I'd be happy to run through how the controller should be wired. The green wire from the controller attaches to the cold side of the brake stoplight switch, the white ground wire attaches to the negative battery terminal, the red wire supplies 12-volt power to the controller, and attaches to the positive battery terminal. The blue wire carries the brake controller output. Connecting the orange...

  • Proper Brake Controller Wiring Harness for a 2005 Class C Motor Home On a E Series Ford Chassis
    Connecting a brake controller on your E series, van chassis, motor home can be done one of two ways. You can use the brake controller connector, item # 3035-S, to connect to the connector under the dash, if it is supplied, or you can hard wire the connector. From the pictures you sent it looks like the connector that is not in use could be the correct connector. The connector that is in use looks very similar also and is in the normal location that our installer said the connector should...

  • Additional Parts Needed for Redarc Tow Pro Elite Installation on a 2000 Ford F250
    Good news! First, the RedArc Tow Pro Elite # 331-EBRH-ACCV2 is an awesome choice; I also checked your order and since you ordered this from the fit guided page for your vehicle, it comes with the # 3035-S wiring adapter for electronic brake controllers that you'll need to install it directly into your 2000 Ford F-250. That would be the only additional wiring required for this installation.

  • Does Brake Controller Need to Face Specific Direction to Function
    If you are installing a proportional brake controller in your vehicle then it does matter the orientation of the controller as the sensor needs to face the correct direction to work properly. The P3 part # 90195 has the most flexible mounting orientation. I attached a picture of how it can be mounted. A time delayed controller does not have same direction requirements.

  • Troubleshooting Reese Brakeman Brake Controller Wiring to Factory Harness
    The Reese Brakeman is not a controller we carry, but it is wired in the exact same way as the other controllers for your 2008 Ford F-150. The controller has 4 wires: black is 12V input, blue is brake controller output, red is brake light switch, and white is ground. If you have the factory 7-way, then I recommend the Tekonsha Custom Wiring Adapter for Trailer Brake Controllers - Pigtail - Ford # 3035-S which will allow you to simply match the colors for the factory plug because the functions...

  • Electric Brake Controller Wiring on 1997 Ford E-350 with 7-Way Trailer Connector
    If your 1997 Ford E-350 came with a factory 4-way versus a 7-way then the wires to the brake controller output would not have been run. You will need to run the wiring the entire way from the battery to the dash and then to the 7-way. You can use kit # 5506 for that connection which is just the wiring and circuit breakers from the # ETBC7 kit. I've attached an article and video to assist. If you have the factory 7-way it should have already been run all the way to the connector, so...

  • Compatibility of the Pilot Brake Controller # 80550 on a 2008 Ford F-150
    Yes the Piolet Brake Controller, part # 80550, will work with your 2008 Ford F-150. 4-way connectors do not have a provision for brakes, so if you have a trailer with a 4-way connector, it should not have brakes on it. It will work fine with your factory 7-way connector and the 4-way will still function normally. You will also need part # 3035-S to connect the brake controller to the brake controller port on your F-150. I have included a review video on the Pilot Brake Controller and...

  • Recommended Brake Controller for 2018 Fleetwood Bounder Coach on F53 Chassis
    For your 2018 Fleetwood Bounder Coach, I recommend using the Prodigy P3 # 90195 if you want the LCD screen for information and then using wiring harness # 3035-P for connection under the dash. If you want a clean look with a really nice brake controller then I recommend the # 3035-S and the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller # RED44FR. This will give you a clean dash look and still accessibility and control. I've attached a couple videos to assist.

This adapter will plug into your existing 4-flat, and will splice to your battery, brake output wire, and 12v power. There is not going to be a plug under your dash for this to splice into, but the good news is you do not need to wire everything from scratch since you've already got a 4-pole.

    Yes. You can use the RedArc Tow Pro Liberty # RED24FR with your Reese Multi-Plug Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package - 7-Way and 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector # 74682; it really doesn't matter since it doesn't directly plug into the brake controller. With that said, since that is not the factory trailer connector, unless the # 74682 was replacing a factory trailer connector you will need to hardwire in the RedArc Tow Pro using # RED69FR; a wiring adapter like the # 3035-S cannot be used...
