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. Use the arrow buttons on the front of the module to set the output. 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 this setting unless the trailer load changes, you switch trailers, or road conditions change. The LCD display will show the current output setting being used.
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 braking output. 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.
Storable Settings
Customize the P3 and store your settings so that you can easily access them later. If you tow multiple trailers, or the same one but with differing loads, store the desired boost and power levels for each so that you don't have to completely reset the controller every time you switch between trailers. It's easy to swap between drivers as well. Program the P3 display with your desired screen color, brightness, and language, and you can easily return it to your preferred settings the next time you tow.
Customizable LCD Display and Advanced Diagnostics
The P3's LCD display features a distinctive look with multiple color and contrast options. With lots of customized options, you can change the display to make it easy for you to see and check your braking status at a glance.
It also includes comprehensible and detailed roadside diagnostics. The P3 advanced diagnostics not only notify you of potential problems, but they can also tell you where to begin troubleshooting.
Diagnostic troubleshooting displays include:
- Battery voltage
- Voltage supplied by stop light switch when brake pedal is depressed
- Output voltage to trailer brakes
- Output current to trailer brakes
Diagnostic warning signs include:
- Open ground
- Overload
- Output short
- Power loss
- No trailer connection
Safety Features
The Prodigy P3 offers advanced 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 P3 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 P3 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 P3, 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 P3 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.
Automatic Leveling and Simple Installation
The self-leveling feature of the P3 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 P3 must be horizontally level and parallel with the direction of travel to work correctly.
Installation is a snap. After mounting the P3 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 P3 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 (TK5906 - sold separately), you can even transfer the Prodigy P3 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 P3 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 P3 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 6-pin connector on your vehicle's built-in brake control wiring harness. Older models will have the harness located underneath the dash, to the left of the steering column, taped to another harness near the emergency brake pedal. Newer models have the harness under the dash, above the gas pedal.
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 am excited to tell you about my experience when I needed to return my Prodigy P3. After 3 years of "flawless" service my brake controller developed a problem. I called to E-Trailer, where I purchased the Prodigy P3, and was informed by Korren that the Prodigy P3 has a lifetime warranty and that I could send in to get a free repair, or to get it replaced. The Prodigy P3 is one of the Best brake controllers on the market and E-Trailer's super service and helpful people saved the day when I needed help. I look forward to many years of service from my new Prodigy P3 and will continue to buy from, and recommend, E-Trailer!

This was a very easy installation of the hitch, wiring harness and trailer brake. Less than 2 hours with some help from my wife. All of the electrical was plug-n-play. I'm sure doing it myself (with help from [online]) saved me a lot of money.
by: Kenton 06/03/2023
The Help & professionalism of Quinn F @ etrailer.com was outstanding. He confirmed that the product was the best choice for my vehicle & purpose, his personal response & follow through impressed me (including an e-mail letting me know my parts were delivered a couple days early). I will definitely be using Quinn F @ etrailer.com for all my RV related needs.

I have never used any other brand of brake controller so it's hard to compare brands. And since the Tekonsha controllers have always worked extremely well I've never had a reason to use a different brand. I use this on an F350 Powerstroke Diesel hauling an 18 foot enclosed trailer and a 12 foot dump trailer. I had one of these controllers destroyed (electronically) when my brother connected it via 7 pin to one of his trailers that was wired differently than my trailers. I replaced it about 10 years ago and haven't had a problem since. I also had my brother rewire his trailers to match mine in case he needed to borrow my truck again, which he has, with np problems. This last controller I purchased was for my tractor so I could move my trailers around safely with my 28hp tractor.

This Tekonsha Prodigy P3 was recommended to be by a friend who works at an RV dealership service center. This is my fifth trailer brake controller over a forty-year period, and my first progressive controller. I really love this controller. My truck has a factory towing package, but was manufactured prior to inclusion of integrated controllers. Since the truck has factory towing, the installation was very simple. The installation instructions were clear and complete. I would definitely recommend this controller to anyone looking for a dependable, easy to install and easy to use controller.

I mounted my Tekonsha P3 on the dash just to the left of the steering wheel. Has very easy access to quickly activate the lever on the bottom of the unit to apply maximum trailer brakes. But I needed a wiring harness almost double the length of the Tekonsha Wiring Adapter so I just purchased two and spliced them together to make one long one......yea I could have saved money and just sliced in longer wires....Am very happy with the Tekonsha P3, With this mount it makes it easy to disconnect and put into my Ford F150 or my Tacoma.

Installed myself in about 30 minutes. 06 Silverado crew cab. Fit right up to factory fitting that was hidden up on top of the spare tire.

First, a huge "Thank You" to Janice!!! You are the best, and the main reason I am the proud owner of Tekonsha P3 Brake Controller! (see, I initially had an issue with my standard online payment service and almost canceled my order because of it) So I went old school and picked up the phone, one with a cord and spoke to a human being. Her name is Janice, and she made me feel confident that I could trust her and etrailer. And as a result, 4 days after placing my order with her I received my package. That's incredible. I am very happy and will most certainly do business with etrailer again in the future because of Janice.
I don't have any experience with brake controllers. So I can't really comment on how much better or worse this one is to any others. But since I am new to the B/C scene maybe this can be considered an unbiased, non professional review of the Tekonsha P3.
My general skill level is "requires supervision around all power tools". But I do have some mechanical ability (snicker). So I will just say, if I could install this thing anyone should be able to do it. Of course I also bought the OEM wiring harness for my vehicle so even I was able to figure out which plug went where. On A scale of 1 to 10 I give it a 3 (I'm somewhat large and getting under the dash wasn't easy or it would be a 1). And as others have said, deciding where to mount it actually took longer.
I attached mine to the top of the lower dash cowl and it fits almost tight to the dash but still within the 180 degree limit. This positions the controller at the same height as my knee and puts it within fingertip reach while resting my hand on my knee. I can see the controller perfectly through the steering wheel spokes. I went with the green screen background. it seemed to provide the best view in all lighting conditions.
The controller itself works perfectly and the set-up was a breeze. Once installed all the functions worked as described. The real time vehicle diagnostics are a plus. I like being able to monitor my battery voltage to the decimal place if I want to. I'm sort of a techno geek so this is really cool. I set the B/C voltage per the instructions and will only use the boost feature if I am in a hurry or feel the trailer is at max load, but my truck is 8k lbs so you may want to set yours to suit your own conditions.
I highly recommend the Tekonsha P3 brake Controller if you want the latest and probably the best controller out there in this price range. I highly recommend the OEM wiring harness if your skills are not pit crew comprable and want the easiest install possible. And, I highly recommend you buy it from etrailer if you want to get it at the best price available (I checked them all) and want the added security you're buying from one of the best online retailers that sells this product. And do yourself a favor, go old school for a change, use the phone and call them, and ask for Janice, although I'm willing to bet everyone there is as nice as her.

2008 Nissan Titan
I purchased the 3050-P quick connect wire harness for the ease of installation.
My 2008 Nissan Titan has the big tow package and I needed an electric brake system.
All I had to do was remove two phillips head screws and the lower dash panel pulls off. Locate the factory brake harness which is taped up at the emergency brake and attach the two together. I routed the harness to the right side of the lower dash because I'm right handed but, there is enough wire to move it to other areas within reason.
I also purchased the pod Pro Series 80500 which serves 1 or 2 axel brake systems. I mounted it to my lower dash on the right side within reach and it plugs right into the wire harness.
I have not had chance to use the new system yet but, am confident that etrailer has sold me a system that will work for me.

Installed this on my GMC 3500 Duramax with factory integrated brake controller. Not happy with the integrated brake controller on my truck, had problems from the start on 3 different occasions with "Service Trailer Brake" warning on DIC, which of course means NO TRAILER BRAKES. Decided the P3 was the perfect solution. Many more features than the IBC, plus the P3 will also work with electric over hydraulic disc brakes should we ever need that in the future. Fairly easy install on this particular truck, the most difficult thing was running the brake wire from the controller to the 7-pin plug. (This is only required when installing in a vehicle with a factory installed brake control) Well worth the extra effort.
by: Steven05/09/2024
I have had only one opportunity to test the Tekonsha brake controller, but I was very pleased with its performance. I won't say installation was easy, but got it done in a reasonable amount of time. Watching other how-to videos really helped.
by: Jason 05/17/2023
I love this! We camp monthly, and we tow our 23ft camper with a 1500 GMC. The break assist has been a fantastic tool to help keep us safe and in control of the camper.

Tekonsha P3 brake controller was easy to install. Stacey got me the right wire adapter f ou r my 2022 Frontier. Basically Plug and Play install.
by: Mark 04/17/2024
The Tekonsha P3 and the wiring adapter have worked great for us. Installed in a Subaru Ascent on the bottom left side of the dash. Worried about hitting it with my foot, but that hasn't even been close to an issue. We leave it installed full time and I never think about it. Actually, as a break controller, that's a great thing. We adjusted the settings a couple times during our first outing with a trailer and have never touched it since. It truly does the proportional breaking well. I definitely prefer the physical box and not having to futz with an app.
by: Doug B.10/03/2011
I had to build a custom bracket for the controller mount since the X is limited in under dash metal but the install went well. The 7 pin trailer harness is a factory Nissan part (plug and play) , but since the receiver does not have the any mounting brackets, I positioned the 7 pin connector up and out of the way of harm by drilling and flush mounting it in the rear bumper. Thanks for carrying products relevant to your customer's needs and having products that work right. I have attached some pics from the finished install. I will be ordering accessories as I need them from your company as you have always been prompt, thorough and very courteous in all of your correspondence.
by: Matthew04/12/2024
I installed this in my 1987 K5 Blazer hauling a trailer with an old mustang on it from Washington state to south california… never had an issue. I watched a few YouTube videos and followed the instructions, took me a little more than half a day but this was because i had to replace a fair amount of old wire and then loom it all correctly to look professional but to also have a lasting result. I was concerned I did something wrong as the device stays on with the back light a few minutes after turning off the vehicle… it’s normal, just how the device works. The controller is way to use otherwise. It does brake controller things.

Hi, I got my Item: 90195 and shipping was fast. I was able to get the break controller installed in my 2012 Cadillac Escalade Luxury using the etrailer.com video guide for a 2009 Cadillac Escalade. The install and wiring was the exact same as the video however my wires under the dash or wire bundle did not have a wiring sticker. The color of the wires were the same as in the video. This etrailer video is great and I used it to get my controller installed in about 1.5 hours. My install was trouble free.
This weekend I was able to test out the my new P3 90195 controller and get it calibrated with my 29 foot travel trailer this weekend. Used a B2 setting with 8.0 power. The user guide and instructions you get with the controller help you know what settings to use and how to set the power level.
This is my second controller as I got a P2 Tekonsha from etrailer about 4-5 years back and installed it in a 2007 trail blazer. This older 2P break controller is still working great. I have been rather happy with the quality of the Tekonsha controllers I have. I have not had to call etrailer for support or install questions but did receive a few emails from them to check in with me to ensure I got my shipment and offer me help. They do a good job supporting and responding to their customers and provide an A+ customer experience.

I have a 2018 BMW X2 that did not come with a factory tow package. I had an etrailer hitch and 4 way plug installed last year and has been perfect since. I just recently purchased a camper and needed to have a Brake controller & Brake controller 7 way deluxe kit installed. My mechanic installed them with the detailed instructions that the units came with without any issues. The Tekonsha P3 is extremely user friendly and is working flawlessly. A bit overkill for my car being I can only tow max 3500 pounds, and my camper is 1 axel. this unit is rated up to 3 axles. I look at it like this way, when I trade in my BMW I will take my P3 with me. etrailer is amazing with the support & products they provide and I highly recommend them to anyone who asks me.

Installed P3 this weekend in 2013 Tundra Crewmax with towing package and pre-wire. Extremely easy, even with the center console installation. Will let the photos tell the story. Did have to combine the P3 included harness with the additional OEM harness to gain the length I needed. Plug and play with the pre-wire. Hooked up to trailer and set boost levels for varying loads. Works great! Vast improvement over older model Tekonsha controller in my Ram 2500 Diesel. Pull a Kiefer BP horse trailer: about 3600 lbs empty, 7500 with 3 quarter horses and gear. Usually pull 6-8 times per year, with only 1-2 horses. Short distance and flat terrain. It took about an hour to install. Dad is a retired USAF/FAA radar technician with every tool known to man. He QC'd the job. Will try to write better review later.

Ordered 9 Jan 2023 and received today 31 Jan 2023. Seemed to sit in US mail system for quite awhile. Once received in Quebec Canada and cleared Canada Customs I received it in 3 days. I am replacing my brake controller with a new one and wanted to upgrade to a better one. Tekonsha P3 comes highly recommended and install is pretty straight forward. I haven't put this to the test as yet but I do not anticipate any problems. Only issue is in shipping.

George J,
Wanted to write good points about your customer service and the Tekonska braking system. Included are multiple pictures of the unit installed on my VW SUV.
First off, I am not an expert in any way in installing and wiring. I had the good fortune of having Steve Kunzel, master mechanic at Westside VW in Minneapolis install the unit.(see Fig 1) The first unit sent did not function and was quickly replaced by etrailer.com at no charge. Second unit is pictured (fig 2) and works well. The trailer is used for caring dogs and gear to various dog events and hunting. The trailer weight is about 4500 pounds and the electronic braking system is necessary for good control of the SUV and trailer when braking. Thanks for all your help getting me up and running.

Purchased brake controller for my 2014 Tuna. excellent order/shipping/receiving time.Received everything I needed with order in a very timely fashion. Website made it very easy to find and decide on exactly what I wanted. Etrailer will be my first choice for finding the accessories I need in the future. Purchased Tekonsha P3 brake controller and is the best thing to a factory installed controller I have encountered.
by: Lucas S01/15/2012
I was in the market for a controller for my 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee and this was a great controller and the price from etrailer was very competitive with other sites. What ended-up being the deciding factor for me on where to purchase the controller was the ease-of-use of the etrailer site. They made it simple to find and compare controllers and getting the correct wiring harness for my application was easy.
In addition to the site they have outstanding customer service. The controller was shipped the day after I ordered it (on a Saturday no less) with free upgraded shipping. They even followed-up with me once the controller arrived at my house. I wish all sites had this level of customer service!

2017 Toyota Tacoma sport with tow package installed P3 controller and wiring with the help of ESP truck accessories installation kit for P3 mount plate that replaces coin holder with no drilling of any kind pretty happy where it's located and no drilling involved it was a pretty fast install with easy to follow instructions
I would recommend anybody with a Toyota Tacoma 2016 to 2018 with this set up
The Toyota dealership didn't even know this existed with a P3 until after I showed him the photo
by: Juan08/20/2018
First and foremost purchasing anything from ETRAILER is easy and fast. There is always someone following up on your purchase and if there is an issue it is quickly resolved. I purchased the Prodigy 3 brake controller along with the wiring kit for my 2017 Nissan Titan SV and installed it myself with the help of the tutorials on ETRAILERS website and it was very easy to do. I will continue to shop at ETRAILER.

- How to Install the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller on a 2017 Audi Q7
- To install the Prodigy P3 # 90195 on your 2017 Audi Q7 you will need to have the factory 7-Way connector installed and then you will also need some additional wiring from an authorized dealer. You will need the following: (qty. 1) #1J0-972-782 housing and (qty. 2) #000-979-228 wire/terminal assemblies. Once you have these installed you can then splice the 4 wires from the pigtail for the P3 to the wiring on your Audi Q7. Please see the attached bulletin for specific details about this.

view full answer... - Troubleshooting Brake Controller
- There are a number of troubleshooting steps you will need to take to see what the issue is with your Prodigy P3 # 90195 brake controller.
You will need to find out if the issue is on the brake controller, truck, or trailer. To test the brake controller, sever the blue wire a couple inches from the back of your controller. Then circuit tester # PTW2979 to test the end of the blue wire coming out of the controller. It should only have power when you apply the manual override; if it shows
view full answer... - Can Tekonsha P3 be Installed on 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 Without Using Adapter Harness
- You can definitely splice in the pigtail that came with the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 to the factory wiring on your 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 if you'd rather not wait for shipping on the Adapter # 3016.
I'm not sure what that wiring would look like on the back of the junction box since we have only used the adapter (so you'll kind of be flying solo), but as long as you remember that the color wiring may not match, and you make sure that there is a circuit breaker on the power wire to the

view full answer... - Recommended Wiring and Brake Controller for 2001 Nissan Xterra with Factory 7-Way
- We don't have any manufacturers that make a brake controller harness for your 2001 Nissan Xterra with factory trailer connector. You will need to use the wiring kit # 5506 to hardwire your controller. This will not hurt your current connection, it will simply give you the wiring from the battery to your brake controller with the proper 30 amp circuit breaker in line and then your brake controller output will either splice into your factory run brake output wire or replace it running straight

- The brake controller I highly recommend for your 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 is the Prodigy P3 # 90195 because it has a vivid LCD display, is easy to use and is highly effective. To install the P3 brake controller in your '18 Silverado 1500 you only need the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers # 3016.
One end of this adapter plugs into the brake controller and the other plugs into a port under your Silverado's dash. I have added a link to a video of the Prodigy
view full answer... - How to Determine Age of Vintage Camper
- You may be able to determine the age of your camper by locating its VIN. Typically the 10th digit of a trailer VIN represents the model year. For example in the attached image the number 7 in the 10th position indicates a manufacture date of 2007.
With that being said VINs were not standardized until around 1982 so if your vintage trailer was manufactured before then there's a chance that its VIN doesn't use this format.
If the manufacturer is still around you can also contact them
view full answer... - Trailer Brakes Smoking on One Side of Horse Trailer
- What type of brakes do you have, drum/disc, electric/hydraulic? The best course of action for you is going to entail removing the drum/caliper and taking a look at the brake shoes/pads. If they were smoking then chances are the shoes/pads need to be replaced at which point replacing the entire braking assembly would be easier if you have drum brakes. The issue you described is more than likely a failed magnet, return spring, or wiring issue.

view full answer... - Brake Controller Recommendation for 2018 Ford F-150
- For your 2018 Ford F-150 the brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller part # 90195. 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. This will be the last brake controller you buy. It can easily be transferred to future vehicles as well.

view full answer... - How to Install a Brake Controller on a 2007 Dodge Ram 1500
- The brake output wire (usually blue) should already be partly ran on your 2007 Dodge Ram 1500. There is a connector (see photo) that is located on the driver side of the vehicle right behind the front wheel well. This connector should have a blue wire for the brake output which you can confirm with a circuit tester. You can then use a quick splice connector like part # SWC501915-1 and loose wire like part # 10-1-1 (per foot) to attach it to the 7-way. If this wire is not present then you

- This sounds like you may have a blown parking light fuse on your 2014 Ram 1500. This will be located in the engine bay fuse box, the 20 amp yellow F29 fuse. If the fuse is intact then you will need to first make sure the running/parking light wire is secured into the rear of the trailer connector and then trace the wire as far back as you can. You may also want to use a circuit tester so you can determine exactly where the break occurs.

- In order to add a brake controller to your 1989 Winnebago Super Chief you will have to start by adding a 4-way. All of this will require hardwiring for installation. For a 4-way you can use the Curt # C59236.
Once the 4-way is installed you will need the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7. This comes with the adapter, wiring, circuit breakers, and everything else you need for installation.
It only has 25' of wire so depending on the length of your motorhome

- Thank you for your purchase directly from etrailer of the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195. If the display won't change from red, try doing a factory reset by unplugging it from power for at least 20 minutes then plugging it back in. If that fails you'll need to replace the controller via its lifetime warranty.

For your 2021 Ford F-150 I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 as it is a very reliable controller and has great features like an easy to read LCD screen, and the built in diagnostics that are easy to read and understand.

- Congrats on the new truck! I have a great slider that will drop right into the puck system on your 2022 GMC Sierra 2500. It is the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package item # BWRVK3775. B&W makes the best hitches in the towing business. The Companion has 1" thick dual jaws that provide 360-degree jaw-to-king-pin contact. This results in less rattle and more security than slide-bar jaws.

- The installation of a Prodigy P3 Brake Controller # 90195 using the # 3023-P adapter is not going to be any different on a diesel than the gas models of the 2013 Ram 3500. If you haven't already done it, your best bet is going to be removing the trim panel right under the steering wheel.
In order to remove the knee blocker / lower steering column opening trim: First remove the two fasteners at
the bottom of the trim panel under the steering wheel and carefully remove the hood release
view full answer... - Will Wiring Harness for Older Prodigy Brake Controller Fit Prodigy P2
- The same plug has been used for a long time so it will likely fit the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 # 90885. I have attached a picture below which shows the current plug so you can compare it to what you have now. If you have a different plug, I can see if a custom wiring harness is available if you let me know what vehicle you have. Alternatively, you could use the wiring harness that comes with the brake controller and splice it in.

- For your 2017 Nissan Titan, the models with the factory 7-way will have the harness under the dash, above the gas pedal. This is a different location from the older models that were found near the emergency brake pedal. If you don't have the harness or controller yet, I recommend the wiring harness # 3050-P and the Prodigy P3 Controller # 90195.
At your 7-way the brake controller output is found at the 5 o'clock pin location.

- I think you might be looking at the wrong connector.
The connector that the brake controller wiring adapter would plug into is located above the emergency brake pedal. It will be a white rectangular connector with 2 rows of three pins. The connector will be taped to another wiring harness. Sometimes the connector can be behind the harness its taped to, making it difficult to see. The photo shown for the 3050-P is an actual photo, the connector you are looking for will resemble the connector

- Your P2 brake controller, # 90885, can be mounted a full 360 degrees in the direction of travel. As long as the brake controller is mounted in an easily accessible location and the harness will reach on your 2010 Nissan Frontier, it will work. It does not have to be under the dash on the right of the steering column.
It will not work properly if it is mounted tilted left or right or if it is not parallel to the direction of travel. I have included a link to the installation details

- Based on the picture you submitted and the info we have on your 2017 Nissan Pathfinder the harness your dealer gave you is correct. It matches the # 3050-P which is the correct harness from Tekonsha. Most likely you have found the wrong harness on your vehicle and you need to check again to find the correct one.
The harness will be located underneath and left of the steering column, taped to another harness near the emergency
brake pedal.
view full answer... - Is a Relay Needed When Installing Tekonsha Prodigy P3 on a 2018 Nissan Titan XD
- If you don't have the factory 7-Way on your 2018 Nissan Titan XD then you will need the kit # N40975 which comes with a 7-Way/4-Way connector and the needed relays to activate the tow package. Aside from this we haven't heard yet about needing to add a relay.
What you might want to do before installing the Prodigy P3 # 90195 and Adapter # 3050-P is check your relays to make sure that they are installed. I tried looking up the locations in the online version of the owner's manual but

- I have attached a brake controller installation video on a Nissan Titan for you to check out. It shows exactly where the brake controller harness will be located under the dash. The truck in the video is a 2008 model, but it will be the same for your 2016 model. I have also attached a photo of the under side of the dash that shows where the harness will be located. The harness will be located underneath and left of the steering column, taped to another harness near the emergency brake pedal.

view full answer... - Prodigy Brake Controller Installation in 2015 Infiniti QX60
- Since there can be many connectors under a vehicle dash, I suggest you test the connector you've found to confirm it is indeed for a brake controller. A brake controller port will have four wires/contacts and one of these will carry 12V at all times, and another will carry a signal ONLY when you press the brake pedal. The other two pins should not carry any signal at all. You'll need a tester like # PTW2993 to test the pins. If this is indeed a brake controller connection port then you

Simply plug one end of the adapter into your brake controller and then plug the other end into the junction box beneath your vehicle's dashboard.

- For your 2013 Nissan Pathfinder, you will need the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers, # 3050-P. One end of this adapter plugs into the connector located near the top of the emergency brake pedal on your Pathfinder and the other end will plug into the back of your Prodigy brake controller.
view full answer... - Why Does 2012 Nissan Pathfinder Have Trailer Brake Controller Port If It Only Has A 4-way Connector?
- The reason your 2012 Nissan Pathfinder has the trailer brake controller port underneath the dash even though it has a 4-way connector installed is because there is a direct replacement 7-way connector.
The Tekonsha T-On Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118266 plugs in directly to the factory connectors on your Pathfinder and will not require you to run any wires.
To make your universal harness that plugs into the 7-way connector work you will need to run the blue wire from the connector

- I would be happy to help, but there is not a Plug-In wiring adapter compatible with your 2019 Nissan Murano as the factory did not install a factory trailer brake controller port nor wiring to install a trailer brake controller.
Based on all of the information I was able to find on your 2019 Nissan Murano its tow package included a 4-way connector which is actually not compatible with electric trailer brakes. You will need to add a 7-way connector to your vehicle using the # ETBC7. This

- We had a customer with a 2007 Nissan Frontier just like yours have trouble finding the port to install the brake controller harness needed to plug in the # 3050-P come back and say he was able to find it above the gas pedal.
I attached the picture he sent us that shows where it was.

view full answer... - Recommended Mounting Location for Tekonsha Prodigy P2 in 2022 Nissan Frontier
- Looking at pictures of the 2022 Nissan Frontier interior, the best mounting location for your P2 # 90885 is probably to the right of the steering wheel under the dash. The only other spot I could see it going is to the left instead. As you said, space is limited. If you want to run it to the passenger side you can use the # 20160 but that would require splicing. Also, you would want to make sure it isn't so far that you can't easily adjust or use the manual override.

- The brake controller install harness part # 3050-P that you referenced is the correct harness for installing a Tekonsha brake controller in your 2016 Nissan NV 3500 that has a factory 7-way.
The harness is located underneath the dash, to the left of the steering column, taped to another harness near the emergency brake pedal.

view full answer... - 7-Way and Brake Controller Recommendation for a 2007 Nissan Pathfinder
- The Prodigy P3 brake controller part # 90195 would be an excellent choice for your 2007 Nissan Pathfinder. That we are aware of all of the Pathfinders made in 2007 had a factory 7-way and would only require the install harness part # 3050-P.
If somehow you didn't have the 7-way all you would need is the part # 118266 and you would have a fully functioning 7-way at the rear of the vehicle that would work well with the controller and harness I mentioned.
view full answer... - Best Electric Trailer Brake Controller for 2017 Nissan Titan
- Electric Brake Controllers are not vehicle specific so they'll work on your 2017 Nissan Titan. What is vehicle specific is the wiring adapter. The # 3050-P adapter is confirmed to fit the 2016 Titans but not the 2017 as of yet because it hasn't been tested. There wasn't a lot of changes for 2017 so there's a good chance it will work. Check under your dash for a harness that has a connector shown in the picture I attached.
For a brake controller I suggest the Prodigy P3 # 90195.

- If your 2013 Nissan Xterra came with a factory installed 7-Way trailer connector then yes, connector # 3050-P is the correct one for your vehicle and brake controller.
If the Xterra does not have the factory 7-Way or any trailer connector then you will need to add one. First you will need to install a 4-Way, # C56225. If the vehicle already has a 4-Way you can skip this step. Then you will need to add the 7-Way by using the 4 and 7-Way installation kit # ETBC7. I have included some links
