Easy-to-Access Brake Controller

Tekonsha POD Controls and Components

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.


Tekonsha POD review

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

What is 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.

Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers - Ford, Lincoln, Mercury
part number: 3035-P

Install your electric brake controller quickly and easily with this custom wiring adapter. Simply plug one end of the adapter into your brake controller and then plug the other end into the built-in harness beneath your vehicle's dash.

Features:

  • Wiring adapter eases installation of your electric brake controller
  • Custom connector end plugs into the built-in port beneath the dash of your vehicle
  • Other end plugs into the back of your electric brake controller
    • Compatible time-delayed brake controllers: Draw-Tite Activator I (5100), Draw-Tite Activator II (5500), Draw-Tite Activator III (5520) and Tekonsha PowerTrac (39523)

  • Limited 1-year warranty


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.

Great little brake controller for the money if you don't need heavy braking on a larger trailer. Simple and economic.

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 connector

I ordered a Draw-Tite 5535 Brake Controller & adapter cable 3035-P from etrailer for my 2011 Ford Holiday Rambler F53 Chassis RV to tow my Tow Dolly with electric brakes. I ordered the parts on Saturday and received them on Thursday using economy shipping rate which was great. I received just what I ordered and installed them today (Friday) everything worked perfect and the install was very quick and easy.

Great no problems, Plug & Play made a hard job easy.

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.

Connected to factory wiring and to Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller without any issues.



by: Michael B.03/08/2019

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.

Isuzu Rodeo

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.

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.

2007 Ford F-150

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.

Easy to install in my Toyota-Tacoma 2012. I pull my Travel Trailer and this break controller worked very well and with just a little bit adjustment. Also this item was shipped very fast.



by: Mike06/26/2013

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.

Still working just fine. The Tekonsha controller and adapter performed fine on a long tow from NJ to OK and back last year, and I suspect they will continue to work just fine in the future. Definitely the way to go if the factory wiring is present.

Thanks to etrailer’s video “Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee”, the installation of a Tekonsha PowerTrac controller on my 2003 Jeep was very straight forward (and I’m not a car guy!). Like in the video, I used the wiring kit (#5506). I forgot to order a pigtail wiring harness but was able to pick one up locally. Took the trailer out last weekend and the brakes worked great.



by: Caleb 02/07/2024

The controller was a great option for our 2021 forest river FSX and gave me plenty of control over the brakes. It does require a adjustment time to time but has always worked when brakes are applied. The setup and installation were a breeze and has worked for many trips.

by: Tim B.05/10/2013

The control works great. Nice incremental application of wheel from nothing to hard on! Led light goes from green to red also in incremental degrees. Installation was a snap in my 2008 F150 with tow package. Just Plug in the control clip and the other end in the terminal above and to the right of the computer check terminal. 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. Good Job!

  • How to Connect the Red Wire to the Brake Pedal Switch on a 2009 Saturn Vue
  • To make the connection to the brake light switch on your 2009 Saturn Vue with the red wire from the brake controller, you will have to make the connection at the brake light fuse in the under-hood fuse box. I would recommend using a fuse tap that is available at most hardware stores. This connection cannot be made at the switch above the brake pedal. To determine which fuse is the brake light fuse, there should be a diagram of the fuses on the lid of the fuse box, or you could use a

  • Best Tekonsha Brake Controller for 2007 Toyota Tundra
  • The main difference between a time delayed brake controller like the Tekonsha PowerTrac # 39523 and a proportional brake controller like the Tekonsha P2 # 90885 is that a time delayed brake controller has no internal parts that sense the braking of the tow vehicle; for this reason they can be mounted on any angle.

Since you already have the 7-Way installed you will just need to finish off the connections and wire in the brake controller. One of the wires on the 7-Way is for 12-volt power.

  • Brake Controller Adapter Needed to Install Brake Controller on a 2018 Jayco Class A RV
  • I saw that for your 2018 Jayco Class A you had input that you have a Ford F-450 cab and chassis. Typically the Class A RVs are built on bigger chassis like a Ford F-53. For this chassis you would need the adapter part # 3035-P to install a brake controller like the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195. If you can verify that your chassis is an F-53 then that would indicate that they gave you the incorrect adapter. The connector for the adapter should be under the driver side dash right above

  • Installing a Brake Controller in a 2004 Ford Explorer with Factory 4-Way
  • You basically will need to install your brake controller in your 2004 Ford Explorer exactly like the video I attached details. The pigtail part # 3035-P will be used to install the brake controller but the blue wire will need to be cut from the harness and ran to the 7-way like the video shows. The other three circuits of the connector will still get used and will make the install easier than having to totally hardwire the controller. This harness will provide the power, ground, and

  • Troubleshooting No Power to 7-Way Brake Circuit on 2003 Ford F-150
  • Not all 2003 Ford F-150s have the factory wiring so it is entirely possible that the wiring you are finding is aftermarket. If your brake controller isn't operating properly and the blue wire is broken then I'd definitely try fixing that wiring to see if that makes a difference. You can also cut the output wire about 6" from the back of your brake controller to see if there is power output when you use the manual override. If there is power on the output wire but it isn't reaching the
