Gain Power Adjustment
You can adjust the gain (also known as output) with the thumbwheel on the front of the controller. Gain lets you set the maximum amount of power that will be applied to your trailer's brakes. A heavier trailer will need more power to achieve smooth, safe braking, while a lighter trailer will need less. Typically, the gain is only readjusted when you experience changing road conditions or if the weight of your trailer changes.
Power Boost for Heavy-Duty Towing
The boost setting controls the aggressiveness of your trailer's braking, meaning how quickly the brakes reach the maximum braking level. You can adjust this when you're towing heavy loads and you need more umph to bring your trailer to a stop. Your tow vehicle doesn't need that much power to brake in time, but your heavy trailer does.
Depending on the level of boost, your trailer brakes can start at either 13 percent or 25 percent of the set gain. What this means is that, instead of starting at 0, the brakes will start at 25 percent and get to100 percent sooner. This keeps the trailer from pushing your tow vehicle forward.
If your trailer weighs less than your tow vehicle, no boost is needed. But, if you want your trailer to lead the braking, you can select level B1.
Boost Levels:
| Approximate Gross Trailer Weight | Boost Level | Increase in Initial Power Output |
|---|---|---|
| Less than tow vehicle GVW | B1 | 13% |
| Equal to tow vehicle GVW | B1 or B2 | 13% or 25% |
| Up to 25% more than tow vehicle GVW | B2 or B3* | 25% |
| Up to 40% more than tow vehicle GVW | B3* | 25% |
*Both B2 and B3 offer a 25-percent boost in initial power. But the braking curve for B3 is more aggressive than that of B2. This means that, even though you will start out with the same intensity when using these boost levels, you will get an overall more aggressive braking experience with the higher level. So if you use B3, you will reach maximum braking sooner than if you use B2.
Safety Features
The Prodigy P2 offers key safety features to prevent damage to various components of your towing setup. Integrated reverse battery protection shields the brake controller and your trailer's breakaway system from shorts. When the P2 is not in use, it will be in power-saving mode. In this setting, it draws only 3.6 milliamps, minimizing drain on your vehicle's battery.
The P2 also comes equipped with a hold feature to prevent wear on your brakes. When you're waiting at a red light, you don't need your trailer brakes on at full power. The longer you sit there, the more they will overheat. But with the P2, any time your tow vehicle and trailer are at a standstill with the brakes applied for more than 5 seconds, the hold feature will kick on and reduce power to just 25 percent. This will keep your trailer in place while saving your brakes.
The P2 keeps the manual override within easy reach, great for stopping sway or controlling your trailer's momentum in emergencies. To engage the manual override, just twist the rotary-style lever from right to left. This will 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.
The Prodigy P2 also offers diagnostics such as:
- Open ground
- Overload
- Output short
- Power loss
- No trailer connection
Automatic Leveling and Simple Installation
The self-leveling feature of the P2 ensures that the brake controller continues to function even as you drive up steep hills or through the mountains. Simply mount it in your cab at any vertical angle, and the controller will level itself automatically thanks to its 360-degree rotational range. This makes the installation that much easier. But keep in mind that the P2 must be horizontally level and parallel with the direction of travel to work correctly.
Installation is a snap. After mounting the P2 unit in your cab using the included bracket, hardwire one end of the included pigtail harness directly into your vehicle. The other end plugs into the brake controller. To remove the P2 for storage when you're not using it, just unplug the unit and slide it out of the bracket. With a replacement wiring harness (sold separately) and replacement bracket (P7685 - sold separately), you can even transfer the Prodigy P2 to another vehicle.
Installation Accessories
For even easier installation, a vehicle-specific specific wiring adapter is available for most newer trucks and SUVs. One end of the custom adapter plugs into your vehicle, and the other end plugs into the controller - no hardwiring required.
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, one of the following will be required:
20-Amp circuit breaker (9506P - sold separately) for 2- to 4-brake applications
30-Amp circuit breaker (38630 - sold separately) for 6- to 8-brake applications
Proportional Braking
The Tekonsha Prodigy P2 brake controller comes equipped with proportional braking to give you the best towing experience. Proportional braking means that your trailer brakes mimic your tow vehicle's brakes. If you slam on the brakes in your vehicle, your trailer brakes will activate with the same intensity; if you brake lightly, your trailer brakes lightly too. The trailer's braking is in proportion to your vehicle's braking. This saves wear and tear on the tires and the brakes on both your vehicle and trailer.
The Prodigy P2 uses an internal inertia sensor to detect how your vehicle is braking so it can send the right amount of braking power to your trailer. It measures the inertia of your tow vehicle and activates the trailer's brakes to slow at the same rate. The result is uniform braking across your towing setup. No push-pull action - just smooth, proportional braking every time.

Installation of Tekonsha Brake Controller Adapter
This adapter plugs into the connector behind your vehicle's dashboard. To reach the connector, first locate the notch in the access panel in the center of the dash, near the passenger side. Using a trim panel puller, carefully pry the panel out and undo the locking tabs to remove the panel. You will find the mating connector behind this portion of your dashboard.
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.

I purchased the brake controller and wiring harness from you all and installed it watching the video on your website. I followed the instructions to an absolute T. Got everything ready and tested the product and got an SH error code for the blue brake wire shorting out. I pinned and measured resistance and everything was coming back fine (4+ ohms resistance). I then hooked a power prope to it to find the short along the frame and nothing. I had power from the female connector all the way up to the brake controller. After 4 hours of troubleshooting, I found that the female trailer connector was shorted internally. See the attached picture. The blue and green ring terminals inside of the female trailer connector were touching. Replaced the trailer connector and now all is well.

I had a Prodigy P2 controller in my last pickup and was really pleased with it. So wanted to install the same thing in my newer truck Everything worked smoothly on installation. Made the necessary adjustments to controls after hooking to the trailer and it works great!

This is the second one I purchased. The first was 10 years ago and installed in my 06 GMC. It has worked flawlessly allowing for safe and smooth stops from normal braking to a few of the panic stops that had to made over the years. The new owner of the truck likes the way it works too. I have multiple trailers and with one initial setup on the lightest trailer was able to tow all of them without changing anything but the boost setting to compensate for the different trailer weights.
When needing for a controller for my 07 Silverado there was no other unit that would fill the bill. This P2 looks the same except for the blue display instead of the red. The install took 20 minutes using the direct fit cable ordered with the controller. Setup was easy as with the first unit. I wanted the placement above the parking brake pedal so the OBD II connecter had to be moved. I did the same with the 06 GMC. It is a comfortable place to reach and it keeps the light away from the passenger's eyes at night.
As good as the Tekonsha controller is it is even a sweeter deal buying it from etrailer. The quick shipping, excellent pricing and knowledgeable staff are second to none in customer service.

Installed this in my 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport. I thought that I would add some input on installation that would help others.
I found a way to route the power distribution wires in the frame of the Jeep that did not require the use of a fish tape. If you look at the frame just behind the rear tire you will see a hole in the face of the frame. Start pushing the wire bundle foreword. It will rise up and over the U shaped frame portion of the rear axle and then down along the passenger compartment area. About there, you will be running out of pushing stiffness. Look for the wire bundle to appear at a similar hole in the frame in that area. Grab it a and pull out approximately 4 feet and then push it right back in the same hole going foreword. This time you will look for the wire bundle to appear at again a similar hole just foreword of the driver compartment. Now is the time to grab it and start heading up to the engine compartment outside the frame. Do the same procedure for the wire going aft for the plug end of the installation. For the wires going through the firewall, Jeep has conveniently added a nice foam lined hole to route wires through. You will see this hole position in the attached photo with a green wire coming through. The plastic cover around the steering column pulls down from the top and hinges at the bottom. Remove the metal plate with two bolts to get to the brake switch. Twist and pull the brake switch out foreword and go for the brown stripped wire as your brake circuit. Do order the LONG frame bracket adapter for the switch plug at the rear. To drill the steel for the supplied plug bracket just takes too long. Now that you have it installed you will notice that the power will remain on the unit after you turn the key off. Don't sweat this as it will not stay on long. I doubt a few milliamps draw is going to kill your battery!

Perfect fit for our Minnie Winnie (on the 2016 Ford E450 chassis). The cable is a perfect fit, and the installation electrically is a breeze. Where to mechanically mount our controller is another story. Taking out the accessory plate was also a slight challenge, the existing battery boost switch is a bit large. The switch wants to stay in the dash as the switch cutout on the dash is a bit too small, it holds the assembly in place loosely on the dash. It requires a bit of moving the trim plate, and the metal backing plate behind it back and forth, up and down to break the switch mounting tabs free from the dash after removing the two trim screws. Once the trim plate has been removed, the factory controller cable is in plain view and is the 3034-P snaps right on.
Since my controller travels between the Minnie and another vehicle, I didn't want to do a permanent installation, thus there is no clean final installation picture shown. There is room for a controller to the right of the existing switch (if I were to make a rectangular cutout in the trim plate, but I may end up just using a Velcro attachment of the controller bracket to the top of the dash. Under dash mount is not an option as you couldn't see the controller or easily reach its controls.

I have a Tekonsha controller on my 2001 Chevy Silverado and it worked like a charm for over 18 years.I'm sure that the new Prodigy P2 will do the same.
by: Larry L.04/29/2015
The online video showing the installation of the Prodigy P2 trailer brake control into a 2011 Ford Ranger was excellent! It made the installation into my Ranger simple and straight forth.
I have yet to hook up to my travel Trailer and adjust it for brake setting, but all readout displays thus far are as stated in the instructions.
Having previously installed the trailer connector, I did not purchase the installation kit and in retrospect for cost effective and simplicity would recommend anyone to purchase the kit along with the controller.
I believe I am going to be very pleased with this product.
Thank you

very nice controller, very smooth and you don't have to mount it flat!! e trailer is the best company i ever worked with. they have pics, video, email support(exellent) and just flat out make it easy for you to do it yourself instead of paying some dirt bag $300 to install at your local trailer shop. i also installed kit #ETBC7 and once agian it was awesome. COMPLETE with DETAILED directions. i'm not a mechanic or hack employee at local trailer shop....BUT dealing with etrailer and there parts made my install very easy and CLEAN!!!
by: Carl05/15/2023
the controller has great reviews, I got it because my factory controller wasn't working well with the new camper that has electric/hydraulic brakes and I was experiencing a 5 second lag for the trailer brakes to come on. this controller works better with a 2 to 3 second lag, need to try a couple different combos on settings, have the boost at 3 (per recommendations) and gain at 2.5 and under hard braking it locks up the trailer tires. going to try boost on 2 and bump up the gain and see if that works better.
by: Brad 05/10/2024
Been one year of ownership now and this controller has performed very well. I would by again for sure.
by: Calvin03/14/2024
Great product! Since I pull my goose neck with electric brakes, with my semi truck tractor, it acts as a interface between the air brakes and the electric trailer brakes, and acts as a Johnson bar if I need to get the trailer back under control.
by: Kevin P.03/16/2011
I didn’t have a good location that was reachable while driving so I mounted the controller on top of the dash. I leveled the bracket with a spacer and ran the harness by an access panel. I used about 70’ of the duplex wire due to running the cable to front and then back to the house batteries inside the coach.
The access panel made it easy to make the connections and run the wires through the firewall.
I mounted the 40 AMP and 30 AMP circuit breakers up front in the main fuse panel box. I drilled a hole through the box and firewall to run the wires from the brake controller to the breaker and to the blue wire for the tow connection at the back of the coach.
I ran the battery connections to my house batteries up front instead of using the engine batteries in the back.
I found the brake connection wire under the coach in front directly below the brake pedal.
I mounted the converter in a beam in the back with lots of zip ties

The Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller arrived on time and is just what I needed. The installation and operating instructions are easy to understand and should make installation a breeze. I'll give an update after I get it installed.
by: Garry in Indio06/25/2017
Used in conjunction with harness kit for my 2002 tundra, this year has no provisions for towing trailer with electric brakes.
The controler itself has proven itself nicely, with no issues with installation or use, adjust easily.
The mounting location I chose may have some slight interference issues with legs on taller people, but I have not had any @ 5'11". The truck is a midsized so room is more limited. I'm towing a tandem 14' trialer with 4 seat RZR, tracking and stopping is perfect, even under hard breaking.

This is a replacement for the one I ordered incorrectly. Customer service was great, but I had to pay shipping costs. I recommend you get active help when ordering these items so you get it right the first time. Plug and play worked great when installed.

After a year, the brake controller still works fine. No problems so far.
by: Nick04/11/2016
Great Brake Controller, used it with the Universal Install Kit for Brake Controllers and No-Drill Mount Bracket, Short - 18140. It only took me 2.5hrs to have it fully installed in my Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 2013. Videos were great. Also having some 1/4in water tubing helped for phishing wire thru frame.
Wish I had watched the video a couple of times before buying and also purchased the extra wire to go from the battery to the brake controller, but had extra wire from another project that worked.
This brake controller works great as we tow a <3500lbs Travel Trailer with our Jeep.
Comes with a great card that helps with settings, keep it in the glove box for future reference.

I recently bought a 2018 Chevy Silverado LTZ. It was equipped with a towing package but no brake controller. Not wanting to alter the interior of the truck too much, I called etrailer for advice. Robert S was very helpful. He suggested the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 brake controller and jumper wire that I was able to hide neatly under the dash using an existing screw. I have been very pleased with etrailer and their suggested product.

I installed this model 90885 Prodigy P2 Brake Controller using the ETBC7 Brake Controller Wiring Kit on my 2007 Dodge Nitro. On a scale of 1 to 10, I consider myself about an 8 where it comes to automotive mechanical and electrical work. I also strive to get as close to perfection as possible. To do the job right, it did take some time and it did require paying close attention to the directions for both the wiring kit and the controller. However, the directions were "right on", and all the needed "goodies" to do the job were furnished. My hat is off to ETRAILER for the informative videos they provide and their customer service, which includes very quick shipments of their products.

Just installed it. My Camper is a restored 1966 Frolic with electric brakes that I am getting checked out tomorrow.
Unit installed fine on my Chevrolet Colorado and the actual installation video with the Colorado was perfect!
Thanks - I will recommend it to a friend who needs to do the same on his Silverado.

My factory 2011 F350 integrated brake controller want recognizing any of our trailers, after cleaning and greasing connectors and chasing wires. I just installed the Tekonsha P3 with Ford factory harness. It took all of ten minutes as I already knew where I wanted it placed. I plugged the trailer and was instantly recognized. Super quick and easy. I mounted it on the drop down cup holder; easy to see and use the controller and it doesn’t interfere with the cup holders when in use.

I purchased this controller for my 2005 Jeep TJ. We're towing a 2014 Forest River FLagstaff MAC and, after doing much research, we decided that this unit (along with the universal installation kit ETBC7) was the right one for us!
Both the controller and install kit contain everything that you'll need for a clean, professional-looking install! The install took around 2 hours (in my driveway) and the controller works flawlessly!
This setup is perfect for a Jeep TJ, the controller fits nicely to the lower left of the steering wheel (out of the way) and the trailer connection is a bolt-on setup that attached to my Reese towing hitch!
The trailer connection (with the install kit) has both a 4-pin connection and a 7-pin connection so there is no need for adapters! It is truly a "plug and play" setup!!
As far as ordering and customer service goes, this was one of the smoothest transactions I've had in quite some time! There are numerous photos and install videos that will guide you through the install.
We'll definitely start with etrailer.com for our next purchase like this!

It will require a wiring kit for the motorhome composed of the Wiring Kit for 2, 4, 6, and 8 Brake Electric Trailer Brake Controllers part # 5506 though you will need to extend the wires using the part # 10-2-1.
view full answer... - What Wire to Use for Stoplight Circuit When Installing a Brake Controller in a Vehicle
- Sounds like you are trying to use one of the brake light circuits for either the left or right side stop/turn circuit. Since the blinker is on that circuit it won't work.
What you will need to do is use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to test the wire coming from the brake switch near your brake pedal till you find a wire that has 12 volts when the brakes are applied and none when they are released. That will be the wire to use to install your brake controller.

- When you are looking for the stoplight switch wire, start at the brake pedal and work upward. You will see a cluster of wires very near the pedal that will contain the brake light switch wire. On the 2010 Grand Caravan model we wired for a P2 brake controller # 90885, the cluster ran into a big round grommet on the firewall to the left of the pedal. It should be the same on your 2012 Grand Caravan Crew.
The 2010 model ended up having the stoplight switch wire as a white wire with

- On your 2007 Chevy Silverado there are a couple connections under the hood that need to be made after plugging in the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller # 90885 with the Adapter Harness # 3015-P you mentioned.
There are two wires under the hood - one is for the 12V power wire to the brake controller (which is why you aren't getting the required voltage) and one for the 12V power circuit to the 7-Way connector at the bumper. Both wires are red/black and they will already have eyelets attached.

- Did your 2010 Honda Ridgeline come equipped with a 7-way plug from the factory? If so, the best choice for your application would be the P2 brake controller and brake control wiring adapter kit # 90885 and # 3070-P.
Ridgeline models that are equipped with the factory 7-way are pre-wired with a connector for the brake controller. The # 90885 and # 3070-P brake controller and wiring adapter kit will make the installation on your vehicle very simple, because the unit would be able to

You will need to find the 4 or 5 blunt cut wires under the dash, slightly to the left and above the brake pedal. They will be held together with a white tag that should list the functions of the wires. It is

- It sounds like you are having a wiring issue that is either at the brake controller, at the trailer connector that is at the rear of your vehicle, or the trailer connector on your trailer.
If you used a vehicle specific wiring harness from the brake controller to tow vehicle I would first check to make sure that you have the correct one for the year/make/model of your vehicle.
Sometimes different vehicle will use the same connector, but the wiring of the connector will be different

- If the 2003 Ford Escape already has a hitch installed, then the Curt hitch for a Ford Escape part # C13506 will not be needed. The Curt hitch is designed for a vehicle that does not have a hitch already installed on the vehicle. Both the Curt hitch and the factory hitch have the same tow capacity of 3500 pounds. The Curt hitch has a 2-inch opening, and the factory hitch has a 1-1/4 inch receiver openings.

- Your 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500 is prewired for the install of a brake controller. All you need is the correct harness part # 3016.
For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes.
view full answer... - How to Install a Brake Controller on a 2012 Ford E-350 Van w/o Factory Trailer Connection
- I have a solution for you, but on your model 2012 Ford Van the brake controller will have to be hardwired to the van.
If you already have installed 7-way, then a blue wire must be run from the 7-way up to the cab of the truck to connect to your brake controller. I recommend using # 10-1-1 for the brake circuit wiring. I also recommend # 12-1-1 wiring when connecting to the stop light switch on your van. This wire is sold by the foot.
I also recommend using # 5506 Wiring Kit for Brake

- We can get you set up with a brake controller for your 2012 Ford F-350 cab and chassis, and let's start with the wiring. Since you don't have any trailer wiring you will need to install the 4-Pole Hardwire Kit # 18252 and for the 7-way and rest of the wiring you will need the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7.
For the brake controller itself, I highly recommend the the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195.
The P3 is the best option because

- I checked with an online copy of the owner's manual, and found that fuse # 22 in the fuse panel under the hood protects the power feed to the brake controller. I did not see a relay mentioned.
Do you have the gain (power) turned up all the way on the controller? Are the trailer brakes properly adjusted? Are the brake magnets in good shape? If possible, I'd recommend towing the trailer with another vehicle if possible. This will help determine if the problem lies with the tow vehicle

- The connector that you found under your dash is actually the OBD-II port which is why it doesn't quite match up with a brake controller adapter, like part # 3034-P which fits Tekonsha and Draw-Tite brake controllers.
Typically we find on motorhomes that the brake controller plug is up under the driver's side dash, next to the steering column, or under the driver's seat. From what I could find it looks like your 2014 Coachmen Freelander was built on a 2013 Ford E-350 chassis. If you skip

I have included a link to a video showing installation of a brake controller that shows this location. Your truck uses harness # 3035-P and not # 3034-P.

From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions and an install
