Purchased a Teckonsha Voyager brake controller and the ETBC7 install kit.
The instruction an video were very clear and easy to follow. Installed on a 2007 Ford Ranger Sport. Tech support was also very helpful on the one question I did have.

The drawtite hitch and trailer wiring harness fit great. Instructions were clear and concise. Installation was a breeze. I am ready to tow my little trailer now. As soon as I get the brake controller installed, I will be ready for my big trailer.

Super easy to install with the wire loom purchased separate
by: Geoffrey 06/06/2023
After one year of use the unit works as advertised but does require some getting used to.When first installed it goes to 25% activation in a total of 5 seconds so I turned it down to 15% and like it better loaded or empty..I prefer a proportional controller over timed but due to shortages at the time of purchase this one has filled the job well..Good price and easy install so will see how long it lasts...

If your truck comes with the tow haul package.... this item is literally plug and play. I had it wired up and all mounted inside of thirty minutes. It's literally 4 wires and the stock system wires are labeled along with the brake contoller. I haven't tested it yet but so far I am thoroughly impressed!

Perfectly wired directly to existing wiring that I had for the previous brake controller I replaced with the, Draw Tite I Command. This will make it a lot easier should I choose to upgrade the unit in the future.
Fantastic customer service from Joshua as well.

I installed the Curt gooseneck on my 1993 GMC 2 Wheel Dr. 2500 truck. All the components have tight tolerances. It took me eight hours. With a socket and the wrench. Laying on my back. I did have to cut the wheel well lip about 3/8 of an inch off because I could not get that front angle bar to slide in without hitting it, no way around it unless you lift the bed up and I wasn’t going to do that!!. You have to cut it.instructions do not state that. I’m very happy with the Hitch, it is definitely stout! I did have to make a notch on the outside brackets to go over my airbag bolt. I also had to remove the support bracket on the inside of the frame for the airbag and the crossmember for the spare tire to get the front angled bar in.

As always, etrailer delivers. Part was on time and a perfect match for the brake controller. What you don't get from Amazon is the technical support on how to install or use the equipment purchased from etrailer. That's why I keep coming back!

My truck was stolen and wrecked. I was able to retrieve the Tekonsha Brake controller from under the Dash board before it was hauled to the salvage yard, but not the wire harness. I was ale to order a replacement harness from eTrailer and reinstall the controller in my new truck. I had no problems at all. Thank you eTrailer for the great support.

These guys are great they had the installation kit it came with everything you need and even had a video for my specific vehicle to install the brake controller and wire in a 7 pin trailer plug

Nissan Titan pulling a fully loaded 14x7 Cargo Mate Blazer enclosed trailer. The unit was pretty easy to install. etrailer included the proper wiring harness for my Titan. It is not difficult to find the proper brake setting for the load size and not hard to tweak on the fly. This unit worked like a charm while hauling this large load about 1000 miles. So far it has been worth every penny and I got it at a great price!

Packaged well, came 1 day earlier than expected. Exactly what I ordered.
by: Chad07/13/2021
Works as intended, but the plug on the back of the controller is a loose connection. Sometimes I would go to brake and find that I had no trailer brakes because the controller lost power. After a wiggle it would start to work again. I was able to shave the Molex plug a bit and now I don't have any problems with it.
by: Bill08/13/2020
The service you receive from etrailer is top notch. This brake controller has worked very well. I actually swap it between two of our vehicles. Just unplug it from one and plug it into the other.

Wiring harness I used to connect into the trailer brake control circuit. Requires pulling some inside trim in the drivers footwell area to access my 2022 Chevy Colorado's wires. Follow the intructions or better yet go onto YouTube for video on what goes where.

Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller - 7-Way RV and 4-Way Flat, Item # ETBC7
I installed this 7-pin plug kit on my 2008 Jeep JKU to add power and trailer brake control.
I also purchased :
Draw-Tite I-Command Trailer Brake Controller Item # 5535
and
Curt No-Drill Bracket Item # C57202
along with a little extra wire, just in case.
The kit quality was great. It shipped with everything I needed, sans the controller and bracket above. I used a cordless drill, a quarter inch drive socket set, screwdrivers, wire cutter/crimper, pliers, black electrical tape, half inch loom (plastic flexible conduit) and quite a few extra zip-ties I had laying around. I needed the Curt bracket to mount the 7-pin plug farther away from the muffler that runs parallel to the bumper in Wranglers.
I first ran the grey jacketed wire from the rear bumper all the way to the engine compartment. This was the hard part for me since I'm old and a little more round than I'd like. I didn't need to raise the jeep since it already has a 2 1/2 inch lift. I zip-tied the jacketed wire to the frame and brake lines until I found a spot in the frame I could run it through. I ran it out of the frame at the rear of the left front wheel well and up into the engine compartment. There is a (very handy) rubber plug in the firewall just to the left (outboard) side of the brake vacuum booster. I made a small slit in the rubber plug. I removed the outer jacket from the wire at that spot and fed the white (future brake controller wire) into the cabin of the jeep. I ran the black wire, in a wire loom/conduit across the top of the firewall to the battery. I had enough extra wire to run the brake controller power and ground wire from the battery, across the top of the firewall in the same conduit, and into the cabin through the same rubber plug/grommet. I drilled small pilot holes to mount the two circuit breakers. I then connected the wires at the 7-pin plug at the rear bumper. I again made a pilot hole and then mounted the ground wire with the self-tapping screw provided in the kit.
Here I'd like to mention, I would have been happier with heat-shrink connectors. I could have gone to town and bought some, or I could have soldered the connections. Instead, I just used the provided connectors and a LOT of black tape. If I have any corrosion issues later I will replace the connectors provided in the kit.
I wired and mounted the brake controller. This would have been super easy if I could fit under the dash. I dislike using the little blue inline wire connectors (self stripping connectors) but it was a godsend when working one-handed under the dash. I mounted the controller bracket and covered most of the exposed wiring with black tape for aesthetics.
If I was 20 or 30 years younger, I would have had this whole kit installed in about 1 1/2 hours. I am very happy with the quality of the materials. Many others have already noted the bracket is not quite perfect where it is designed for the four wire plug to slip in. The four wire plug had moved slightly on my 20 minute drive to work and would likely have fallen out if I went much further. I may put a wrap of electrical tape around the plug to tighten up the fit. Otherwise I will see if a zip-tie or a drop of superglue will hold the four wire plug in place. I was a wee bit skeptical about the sturdiness of the no-drill bracket as it's held in place by what looks like a hose clamp. I am happy to report, the clamp is heavy duty and well made. The no-drill bracket with the 7-pin and 4-pin receptacles are very sturdy and secure. The instructional videos on etrailer's website made the job easy to understand.
If I had this job to do over again, I would definitely use the same products from etrailer.

- Brake Controller and Trailer Wiring Recommendation for 2007 Toyota SiennaYou'll just need a brake controller, a pigtail and our # ETBC7 Brake Controller Installation Kit. For a brake controller, a proportional controller would provide the most effective, safe and predictable braking for your trailer. A proportional controller features an internal accelerometer that senses the rate the tow vehicle is braking, and will then send the proper amount of voltage to the trailer brakes so the tow vehicle and the trailer brake at the same rate with neither the vehicle...

It will require a tow dolly like the Roadmaster Tow Dolly Item # RM-2050-1. This dolly has electric brakes so as long as your motor home has an electric brake output at the 7 way and you have a brake controller you are good to go. It has a 4200lb maximum vehicle weight capacity which is more than enough for your Kia Soul and fits a 2" x 2" ball. If your motor home has a 7-way on the...

- Parts Needed to Install a Voyager Trailer Brake Controller on a 2011 GMC SierraOn a 2011 GMC Sierra, there is no port under the dash to plug in a wiring harness but there are tow package wires.

If your Jeep has a factory installed 7-way connector, then you will just need the Installation Kit # 5506 along with the pigtail harness # 20127.

The reason for this is because it allows you to use a TorkLift SuperTruss Hitch Extension like part # TLE1542 which will most likely be needed for clearance because of the truck bed camper.

view full answer... - Recommended Brake Controller Wiring For 2006 Jeep WranglerThere is no brake controller plug-in adapter available for your Jeep so it will have to be hardwired. The Draw-Tite Activator Trailer Brake Controller, part # 5504, is a time-delayed brake controller. You set the braking force you want and when you press your brake pedal that amount of braking force is applied to the trailer brakes. You will also need part # 20127. This is the pigtail that plugs into the brake controller harness and then is hardwired to the Jeep wiring under the dash. ...

- Availability of Extension for Brake Controller Wiring HarnessUnfortunately, there isn't an extension or adapter available, so you will need to do a bit of cutting and splicing. Honestly, using the # 7894 pigtail harness would be very easy to install and would allow you to add almost 3 feet of length to your existing brake controller harness which would give you the flexibility to install the controller anywhere within the driver's reach. A 12 inch version is also available as # 20127. You'd simply cut off the black plug of your current harness...

There should be a wire for the stoplight switch on the back of the brake pedal.

- Recommended Wiring Harness for Prodigy P3 Brake Controller and 2005 Nissan XterraFor your Prodigy P3 Brake Controller # 90195 the harness needed for your 2005 Nissan Xterra is # 3050-P.

If you don't have the factory 7-way, then you will need to hardwire the brake controller and will need harness # 20127 and then the universal wiring kit # ETBC7.

I really only have one extra part that I believe you will need to add - part # 10-2-1 which is extra wire for the # ETBC7. It gives you extra feet of the wiring (depending on the quantity you enter) that you will need for the brake controller and 12V power for your 7-Way.

- Recommended Fastway e2 Weight Distribution System for Coleman Trailer and Brake ControllerThe Fastway e2 # FA94-00-0800 has a weight capacity of 800 lbs as you mentioned, but weight distribution systems are rated for total tongue weight and have a range.

I looked at the instructions (linked below) and the SC means "short circuit" which "indicates a direct short to ground in the blue wire (output) circuit."

view full answer... - Troubleshooting Hayes Engage Trailer Brake Controller Displaying Code CLMy technical contact at Hayes said their Engage Brake Controller # HA81760, the item you referenced in your question, could display the error code CL (current limit) if the trailer's brakes are trying to draw more current than the controller is intended to deliver. This controller is designed to power up to 6 brakes (2 each on three axles). If you are not exceeding the number of brakes that can be connected then chances are that there is a short in the brake circuit that is allowing excessive...

Although there isn't really a specific or recommended route, my contact did say that a lot of people he talked to like to run it along the door frame. To do this you will simply want to push the red wire in to the molding along the bottom of your door frame. This should be a great way to route the wiring around any electronics and give it...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Brake Controller that Activates Truck Brake Lights RandomlyThe problem is either the wiring of your brake controller or the brake controller itself has internal problems. What it sounds like is happening is that the stoplight switch of your brake controller (usually red) is backfeeding onto the brake light circuit of your 1997 Dodge Ram which is activating the brake lights of your truck. This would indicate that the controller has shorted out and would need to be replaced. I attached an FAQ on brake controller installs for you to check out as...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Hayes Engage Brake Controller Showing BF Error CodeAccording to the operating instructions (I'll email you a copy) the bF error code indicates that there's a short somewhere in the brake output circuit, which is the blue wire that exits the rear of the controller and delivers the voltage to the trailer brakes through the trailer connector. Several things might be causing this. The first thing you will want to do is sever the blue wire from a few inches behind the brake controller. Leave enough wire so you can reconnect it later. Then use...
view full answer... - Trailer Brake Controller that is Compatible with Electric Over Hydraulic Braking SystemsThere are only certain brake controllers that are compatible with electric over hydraulic braking systems. The Draw-Tite controller is not one of them but we do have several options that are electric over hydraulic compatible. Using one of them you could use any actuator you wanted. I know converting to electric over hydraulic brakes can be expensive so to save some money the most affordable controller that is compatible is the Hayes Engage, # HA81760. This is a time-delayed controller...

view full answer... - Installing A Brake Controller In A 2019 Ford RangerYour answer depends on what connector you have. If the Ranger has a factory-installed 7-way it should have a standard brake controller connection port above and to the left of your left knee when seated; this will be near the kick panel. If the truck instead has a factory 4-pole harness, under the dash there will be three blunt-cut wires, blue, yellow with red tracer and white with purple tracer each for the controller output, the 12V power input and the brake light switch wire. These...
view full answer... - Will the Hayes Engage Work in a 2013 Jeep WranglerYes, you can use the Hayes Engage Trailer Brake Controller # HA81760 and adapter # HA81789-HBC in your 2013 Jeep Wrangler and it will be sufficient to tow your cargo trailer. Some models will require a wiring kit to run wire to the battery, so if you're not getting power when the controller is plugged in, you'll need to use part # 5506 which includes 20, 30, and 40 amp breakers. This is mostly just something we've found in vehicles that did not come with the factory towing package. The...
view full answer... - Is the Brake Controller in My Truck Causing my Rear Brakes to Not Function ProperlyThe brake controller you have installed in your 2001 GMC Sierra 1500 would not affect the performance of the rear brakes of your truck. The functioning of the controller is far removed from how your brakes function. Removing the brake controller will not change or affect the problem you are experiencing. I would recommend you take your truck back to the shop that you had your brakes done at and have them look at it again. Or, if you don't trust them I would recommend you find a more qualified...

view full answer... - Should the Hayes Engage Trailer Brake Controller Flash OC Without a Trailer ConnectedThe OC you are seeing on the Hayes Engage Trailer Brake Controller # HA81760 is saying you have an open circuit. Specifically it indicates there is no trailer connection detected or the controller is connected to a trailer with electric over hydraulic brakes. Since you have not connected the trailer it will flash for a few minutes or until a trailer is connected. There is nothing wrong with the controller and it is acting as it should.
