Both the Autowbrake Electric Brake Controller # 3430001 and Tekonsha Prodigy RF Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # TK94FR are great options to add a brake controller to the trailer. This is ideal if you have one trailer that you need to use the brake controller for. The Autowbrake will require you to wire in the module to your 7-Way Junction Box # 3430001-JBK. If you do not feel comfortable with wiring the Tekonsha simply plugs in line on your trailer 7-way.

I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195 for your 2021 Subaru Ascent. This brake controller is customizable and proportional. This means that it uses its internal inertia sensor to help adjust your braking for light or severe braking conditions.
You will need a Universal Installation Kit # ETBC7 to install the brake controller and 7-way on your Ascent.

Hey Mike, I attached a help article that covers the entire process of installing a brake controller in a 2007 Chevy Silverado with an integrated brake controller.
Basically you will wire the P3 part # 90195 to the wire bundle that is under the dash near the brake pedal. I also attached a picture that shows where this is.
There are some connections that will need to be made at the rear of the vehicle and under the hood as well. view full answer...
I have a couple of solutions for you but the Tekonsha Prodigy RF item # TK94FR does not work underwater. All parts of this brake controller should stay above the water line.
If you are completely against hardwiring a brake controller into your 2014 Jeep Cherokee then you will want to use the Curt Echo item # C51180. The Echo also plugs directly into your 7-Way connector and allows you to control the settings through an app on your phone. It uses Bluetooth to communicate with your phone... view full answer...
Hey Mike. According to the2014 Ford F-250 diesel fuse chart I found online, the # 31 fuse is for Trailer brake Controller (brake signal), customer access. The # 35 fuse is for the Trailer brake control module. They will both be 5amp mini fuses. view full answer...
To install a wireless brake controller like the Curt Echo # C51180 on your 2016 Toyota Highlander you will need our 7-Way RV Upgrade Kit # ETBC7. This will connect to the factory 4-way flat pin connector that came on your Highlander. You will need to run a power wire to the front of your Highlander to power the charge line that powers the brake controller. I have linked a video below for an installation we performed on a 2019 Highlander with these same parts. Do understand that when the... view full answer...
According to my research, the factory controller will indeed need disconnecting before you install the aftermarket controller. Before disconnecting the ITBC (Ram-speak for the factory brake controller), you'll need to get the computer flashed at the dealer so that disconnecting the controller doesn't set off warning lamps/buzzers. I was told that the aftermarket controller would not work with the factory controller still installed.
For your Tow Pro Elite, you'll also need the # 331-TPH-020... view full answer...
To add a brake controller to your 2010 Highlander you will need a 4-way, 7-way upgrade kit, and the brake controller itself. I recommend the following:
-T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118449 (If you do not have the factory tow package)
-Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # 56042 (If you have factory tow package)
-Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7
-Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED52VR

I sure can! To add a 7-way connector and a brake controller to your 2001 Thomas Saf-T-Liner you will first need to have a 4-flat connector. If you do not already have one you'll have two options depending on your buses lights. If the turn signals and brake lights use the same bulb you could install the 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector item # 18252. If your bus has amber turn signals that are separate from the brake lights you will need a converter. The Curt Tail Light Converter with 4-Way Flat... view full answer...
The trailer connector in your photo will fit the 7-way blade connector that you have on your 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie.
You will likely need a brake controller to be able to safely pull the trailer. I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195 as it is a proportional controller that will automatically adjust braking force that is sent to the trailer. It also has a customizable LCD screen that is easy to read and helps diagnose any trailer braking issues should they... view full answer...
Hey Bruce, is there a gain or sensitivity setting you can try increasing to compensate for the weaker brakes? I would assume you already tried that but maxing out those setting might be one way if you haven't tried that.
Otherwise the reality of EOH actuators is that even when used with adapter they just don't like to reliably work with integrated brake controllers. Sometimes they don't work at all, sometimes intermittently, sometimes with diminished performance, or not at all.

Hello Ramiro. The Tekonsha Prodigy RF # TK94FR is designed to bypass the OEM controller in your truck. So, if you have both units connected, the signal from the OEM controller is terminated when it reaches the Prodigy RF system. In this scenario you would need to use the controller for the Prodigy RF to operate the brakes.
In order to use the OEM controller in your truck you will simply unplug the Prodigy FR controller and just plug the trailers 7-way directly into your truck. view full answer...
The only brake controller compatible with the air brakes on your 2017 Freightliner Cascida is the Hayes Air Actuated Trailer Brake Controller # HA100400C. There is no plug and play wiring harness so you will have to hardwire it in for installation. This works with trailers that have up to 4 axles. view full answer...
I believe you're asking about getting a brake controller set up on your 1990 Dodge, and for that you'll need a 4-way, 7-way, and brake controller.
For a 4-way you'll need the Tail Light Converter w/ 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector # C56190KIT then for the 7-way the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7.
You will first install the 4-flat, which will activate your trailer's lighting functions, and you'll then plug that into the 7-way that comes with the # ETBC7, which... view full answer...
For a brake controller I really like the Prodigy P2 part # 90885 as it's basically the gold standard for brake controllers. It is super reliable, gives you the best braking performance, and has yet to be improved upon basically. It would wire directly to the wires you found under the dash of your 2023 Chevy Suburban as well. view full answer...
The Autowbrake Electric Brake Controller # 3430001 is going to be the easiest solution for adding a brake controller on your 2022 BMW X5 with the factory tow package. The biggest benefit is there is no wiring being added on your BMW.
A hardwired option like the Tekonsha Primus IQ Trailer Brake Controller # TK90160 takes up space on your dash and may be less desirable to see every day. view full answer...
First of all you are correct that the OC on the Hayes Engage Trailer Brake Controller # HA81760 does indicate an open circuit. This means the controller is not detecting a trailer or it could be connected to a trailer with electric over hydraulic brake system and needs to be switch to the hydraulic brake mode. If you are not connected to a trailer it is normal for the system to flash the OC error for a few minutes.
If you are connected to a trailer and it has electric brake assemblies... view full answer...
I would be happy to help. To add a 7-way vehicle connector to your 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan you will need the Tekonsha OEM Replacement Vehicle Wiring Harness w Brake Controller Adapter item # 22121. This harness is custom fit and plugs into your van's factory wiring behind the tail lights. Not only will it give you a 7-way connector but it also provides you with a brake controller adapter.
For a compatible brake controller, I recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller item #... view full answer...
Hi Melvin,
If your Hopkins Agility Brake Controller is showing that the trailer is connected and activating the brakes then you likely have a bad ground or some sort of short in your 7-way wiring. I recommend starting at the brake controller and tracing its wire harness back to each connection to make sure there's no damage or loose connections.
From there I'd check the 7-way wiring, starting with the pins to see if there could possibly be a piece of something causing an arc across the... view full answer...
I would be happy to recommend a brake controller with a control knob for your 2017 Lexus GX460. We have two options for wiring harnesses for your vehicle depending on the whether or not your Lexus has the towing package.
