Expert Answers about Toyota Trailer Brake Controller

• Troubleshooting No Power To A Curt Spectrum Brake Controller In A 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500
• Hi Adam, Since you used the Curt Custom Wiring Adapter for Trailer Brake Controllers # C51525 to install the Curt Spectrum Trailer Brake Controller # C51170 you likely have either a blown trailer brake fuse or they just never installed one to begin with. The trailer brake fuse should be number 84 in the engine compartment fuse block. I recommend checking it and seeing if you're getting power or if you just need to add in a fuse to get power to the brake controller.

• Will Prodigy RF Brake Controller Work if Brake Controller Pin on 7-Way Doesn't Work
• Hi Jesse, If the issue is that the brake controller pin/wiring on your 7-way is not functioning, but all other parts are, then yes, you would be able to use the Tekonsha Prodigy RF Wireless Brake Controller # TK94FR. The # TK94FR doesn't require the brake controller output on the 7-way, though it does need the 12 volt pin to be fully functional.

• How to Get 2024 Silverado 3500 OEM Brake Controller to Work with Hydrastar Actuator
• Thanks for all of the details, Stu! The Diamond C trailers use Hydrastar electric-over-hydraulic actuators which means the OEM brake controller on your 2024 Chevy Silverado 3500 SHOULD work just fine with it. I say "should" because we've still seen times where newer GM trucks still require the Adapter Module # HBA-CAM even though for the most part it isn't needed. If you're one of the lucky ones then you can either use the module or you can ditch the OEM controller and use an aftermarket...

• Parts Needed To Install a 6-Pin Wiring and Brake Controller on a 2017 Jeep Wrangler Factory 4-Way
• Okay Mike, but I am actually going to give you a couple different options since the 6-way is not very common and we do have the more popular 7-way option which would only require a simple Adapter # 47549. First if you only want the 6-Pin connector we have the Kit # ETBC6 which will connect to your 4-way and also provides you with the wiring needed to run the required charge line and brake controller. Otherwise we have the more commonly found 7-Way Kit # ETBC7 which is very similar to...

• Brake Controller Recommendation for 2005 Toyota Tundra SR5
• Hey Deanna, the brake controller I recommend for your 2005 Toyota Tundra is the Redarc Tow Pro Liberty part # RED24FR as it only puts a small knob on the dash of your truck and uses an inertia sensor to determine how hard you are hitting the brakes for applying the trailer brakes. To wire it to your truck all you need is the correct install harness which is part # RED49FR.

• 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500 - No Power At Brake Control Plug Under Dash
• Hey Fred, have you checked the fuse box yet? Since the vehicle is brand new you are likely just missing the fuse needed to activate the trailer brake control circuit. Your owners manual will specify the exact fuse location for the trailer brake control module but you will just need to check this location and make sure the appropriate fuse is inserted. Based on what I can find online it should be in the engine compartment fuse box # 63, but you will definitely want to check your owners manual...

• Hey Danniel, If you don't already have a 7-way or 4-way on the back of your motorhome then you'll need to start with the Curt 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector with Circuit Protected Powered Tail Light Converter # C85FV.

• Parts Needed to Install Brake Controller in 2023 Sprinter
• I checked with Tekonsha and a few other brake controller manufacturers and they state that your 2024 Mercedes Sprinter 3500 does not have an OEM brake controller install port under the dash like previous models so you would have to hardwire in the Prodigy P2 # 90885 with the universal install harness it comes with and the brake controller install kit part # 5506 which wires to the OEM 7-way you have.

• What is Bests Disc Brake Actuator for Boat Trailer with Disc Brakes
• Hey Scott, so the best EOH actuator is the Hydrastar brand which for a disc brake setup would be the # HBA16. The Hydrastar actuators are the most reliable and quickest reacting. This would also work with the integrated brake controller of your 22' Ram 3500. You'll also want the wiring kit part # HS381-9000.

• Brake Controller Recommendation for 2023 Chevy Suburban
• Hey Steve, I really like the Redarc Tow Pro Elite part # RED44FR as it only puts a small knob on the dash of 2023 Chevy Suburban and uses an inertia sensor to determine how hard to apply the vehicle brakes. It also wires directly to the brake controller wiring that is under your dash as well.

• Recommended Brake Controller and Adapter for a 2020 Mercedes-Benz 3500
• There is a kit technically that we have which includes both the adapter and the brake controller, but since it's a multi-product in our system there isn't any way to link a single product. So you'd need to add the adapter # 3063-P and the brake controller # 90195 separately, unfortunately. Also, the Tekonsha harness # 3063-P will work with TrailerMate, Draw-Tite, and Tekonsha brake controllers that have a built-in plug for the adapter to connect to.

• Trailer Wiring and Brake Controller for 2024 Subaru Outback
• Hey Lloyd, so the hitches we offer for vehicles like your 2024 Subaru Outback Wagon do not come with trailer wiring so for that as well you'd want the Tekonsha kit part # 118467 for the 4-way and then to convert it to a 7-way so you could install a brake controller you would want the part # ETBC7. If you need a brake controller too the P3 part # 90195 is a really great option that is widely considered the best around. I attached an install video for the 4-way kit for you to check out as well.
