Easy-to-Access Brake Controller

The Tekonsha POD is designed to mount in any direction, and it's especially suited for mounting on near-vertical dashes. All the controls are on the front of the module, so you can still access them with the controller tucked away in a convenient place.

Braking Output

Braking output is the maximum amount of power that will be applied to your trailer's brakes. How much braking output you need is determined by the weight of your trailer; a heavier trailer will need more power to bring it to a stop. You want to set the braking output as high as you can without locking up the brakes. Once you've set up the brake controller the first time, you shouldn't need to adjust the settings until the trailer load changes, you switch trailers, or road conditions change. Use the thumbwheel on the side to change the braking output level. The output setting will appear as a number on the digital display, with a higher number indicating higher braking power.

Manual Override

The Tekonsha POD keeps the manual override within easy reach on the front of the module, great for stopping sway or controlling your trailer's momentum in emergencies. Push the slide-bar lever to activate the trailer's brakes and brake lights without you having to apply the brakes on your tow vehicle, perfect for limiting trailer movement while you re cruising.

Quick, Simple Installation

Because inertia plays no role in the functioning of this controller, you do not have to mount the unit at any particular angle. Your mounting options are limitless, with the controller designed with all of the controls on the front of the module so you can access them even if it's mounted upside down.

If your vehicle already has a plug-in brake controller wiring harness, just connect the unit to it. Otherwise, you will need to purchase a vehicle-specific wiring harness (sold separately) to plug into. If a harness is unavailable for your vehicle, hardwiring will be necessary.

Installation Accessories

See also etrailer.com's exclusive 7- and 4-way brake control installation kit (ETBC7 - sold separately) if you don't already have a 7-way plug at the back of your vehicle.

Note: If a custom brake control wiring adapter is not available for your vehicle, a 20-amp circuit breaker (sold separately) may be required for installation.

Time-Delayed Braking

The Tekonsha POD comes equipped with time-delayed braking. Every time you apply the brakes in your vehicle, a signal is sent - via the brake switch - to the POD. The controller then sends power out to your trailer brakes to activate them with an intensity set by you, at a rate determined by you. The amount of braking power (output) can be adjusted to suit your preference, the road conditions, the type of trailer, and the weight of your load. To determine which levels are best for your application, test your towing setup and choose what feels right.

Installation of Tekonsha Brake Controller Adapter

For most applications, the factory plug is located beneath the dash, near the center console. If you have a Ford full-size van, the harness is underneath and to the left of the steering column. The Ford Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer have 6-pin connectors behind the glove box on the passenger's side. On a Ford 2010 Flex, the connection point is under the front edge of the dash directly below the steering column. On a 2013 Ford Explorer, the connection point could be behind the driver's side kick panel. On a 2014 Ford Explorer, the brake controller port is located by the steering column.

To install your electric brake controller you need to connect the wiring of the controller to your vehicle. Certain manufacturers offer pre-wired options, typically known as tow packages, wherein these wires are run for you from the dash to the trailer connector on the back of your vehicle. Often, a brake controller wiring harness is included with your tow package. This harness plugs into a port beneath your dash and connects to the four wires of the brake controller. If, however, you have a brake controller with a plug in place of the four loose wires, you can use the Tekonsha adapter.

This adapter requires no hardwiring. It is designed to plug directly into your electric brake controller for the simplest installation possible. Because there are no wires to connect, installation is not permanent. You can unplug and remove your brake controller at any time and securely stow it away.

We have a Honda Ridgeline and needed this for our camper trailer. It was nice ordering the specific plug in wire for the Ridgeline and therefore eliminating hard wiring, just plugged it in. It was rough getting to the factory plug under the dash by the emergency brake petal switch. My hands are not small enough, ha ha. But success was had. Plugged into the controller and mounted it and u-wall-a. It works the way it is suppose to, I like that. A good quality unit that does what it is suppose to. thanks.202036

Very happy with this product. It fit nicely in my truck and plugged right into the factory wiring harness. Total installation time was under an hour. Easy to adjust, and works perfectly with my 5th wheel trailer. I simply pulled out the little storage cubby from the dash, cut the back off, slid the controller in, bolted it together, and stuck it all back in the dash. Looks and works great.610737

2010 Land Rover Range Rover

I ordered the trailer brake adapter harness for my 2010 full size Range Rover.
It fit great and its well made to do the swap,
for others that will read this here is how.
I found the brake connector in the truck was hidden behind the fat harness thats next to the inside left kick panel, just behind the hood release panel
By pulling on the OBD 2 wire harness, I found it was tied to the OBD harness.

Some say that the connector is on the left side of the steering column , in my truck is was on the far side of the fat harness so it was hard to see.

I had to remove the left side console, I removed the screw, then pulled the bottom of the wood panel towards the left door, the 2 pins released, then the panel slides to the rear of the truck to dislodge the top pin.

5 screws secured the lower panel , remove the lamp ,unplug it,
then remove the OBD 2 connector from its mount , slide the gray collar to the left kick panel then the harness pushes up out of its holder.
Plug in your new adapter harness for your trailer brake controller,
Assemble is the reverse of taking it apart.
in the picture the new harness is connected to the gray connector351855

Multiple products which I purchased from Etrailer to upgrade my Capri Rodeo truck camper. The steps are well made, easy to setup, and extremely helpful in entering and exiting. I set them next to the door when travelling. The trailer brake controller smoothed out the jerking that was a problem for far too long and simple to install. The vent cover was definitely needed as the original had a hole in it. The removal and replacement went well. 584162

2015 Lincoln Navigator

I'd ordered the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Proportional Trailer Brake Controller (1 to 4 Axles ) on a Monday with a Wednesday delivery date of two days, as I'd specified. I have a Lincoln Navigator that had the factory installed heavy tow package. I had also ordered the adapter connector for Prodigy P2 controller to the Navigator's factory plugin. The entire install took me 15 minutes. I found the video review of the controller quite helpful as it demonstrated how to static set the controller's setting before drive trials and how to set the "boost" settings. Good price and very easy to install.557090

I haven't towed with the it yet. But installation on my 2007 Ford F150 was pretty simple. The plastic panel I attached it to had steel behind it. So I removed the plastic panel, mounted the bracket, then trimmed the excess length off the screws, and reinstalled the panel. The wiring harness plugged right into the truck's plug under the steering wheel. It seems like a great product, and having the specifc wiring harness for my truck made it simple to install. Sheila was very helpful too. Thanks.454728

I have a Toyota Tacoma (06). I had the controller installed in less than five minutes. One minute to gather the tools: drill/bits, screw driver, and tape. I thought tape would be helpful to hold the ground screw to the driver given the tight are under the dash. One minute to drill the ground hole. One minute to install the ground screw. One minute to plug in the cables and fish the wire under the stirring wheel to allow for the controller to be mounted in the storage area found on Tacoma trucks dash. I guess I was wrong. It only took four minutes. I did not need to put the tools away I was off to do other projects. I rate the product as good because I have not tried it on the trailer yet.86205

Rather than have it below my dash I opted for the cove below the lighter. Etrailer did a nice job of getting out to me right away and kept me informed where this was at all the way to my door.

• Many trailer brake controllers like your Tekonsha PowerTrac # 39523 will actually send short pulses of power back to the brake output pin on the 7-Way even when the vehicle is off. This is essentially the controller's way of checking for a connection with a trailer. These pulses should stop after about 15 minutes of the vehicle being off (at which time the controller will go into a kind of sleep mode). With this in mind it sounds like your PowerTrac is functioning normally. If you notice

• Old Brake Controller had 5 Wires and New P3 Controller Only has 4 Will it Still Work
  
• Your old brake controller probably has an illumination circuit that lights it up when you turn the headlights or running lights on. Newer controllers like the P3 # 90195 don't have this feature because when on and not in power saving mode they are always lit up. The 4 circuits it does have are ground, power in, power out to the trailer brakes, and input from the brake switch so it will work beautifully!
