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.

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



by: jim a06/09/2015

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.



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.

Purchased a Teckonsha Voyager brake controller and the ETBC7 install kit.
The instruction an video were very clear and easy to follow. Installed on a 2007 Ford Ranger Sport. Tech support was also very helpful on the one question I did have.

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.

After 1 yr and many trips this product has more than exceeded my expectations. Would definitely recommend it to anyone



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.



by: Tom05/21/2021

Worked out perfectly for me, super easy installation with adapter harness. Work's flawlessly, easy one hand gain control with control's on front. My truck had nice cubby it fit in so out of the way and seamless look. Thanks for a great product and service.



by: Bill G.06/04/2017

I received my purchase very quickly.
I
just installed the control and wire harness today. Installation was easy, all you need are basic hand tools and a drill with a small bit.
Haven't had chance to test it out yet but, when I do I'll update.

I sell and install a variety of components for various companies and individuals. I have zero comebacks from this company. Not that I haven't received defective parts but they always make it right. And that is good business.



by: Steven K.06/05/2018

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: Robert06/07/2024

Works as expected. Prompt service from etrailer!



by: Patricia02/21/2024

The brake controller we purchased and had professionally installed works perfectly. We had it installed in our RV for use when towing a large vehicle trailer. It's reliable and simple. It was a great purchase!



by: Wayne12/20/2019

The drawtite hitch and trailer wiring harness fit great. Instructions were clear and concise. Installation was a breeze. I am ready to tow my little trailer now. As soon as I get the brake controller installed, I will be ready for my big trailer.



by: Larry Mcb.05/22/2022

Have used the power track for a year with city and interstate travel and a 4000# single axle TT. Working flawlessly on my 20 Blazer using a bypass stoplight switch.



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!



by: JM07/04/2016

Product arrived quickly and installed very easily. Plug and play with the correct adapter (3035-P Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers - Ford, Lincoln, Mercury) for a 2001 Ford F-150. Controller is very easy to set the braking on your trailer.



by: Chris C10/09/2016

If your truck comes with the tow haul package.... this item is literally plug and play. I had it wired up and all mounted inside of thirty minutes. It's literally 4 wires and the stock system wires are labeled along with the brake contoller. I haven't tested it yet but so far I am thoroughly impressed!



by: David 02/09/2024

I ordered everything to install hitch an and 7 pin plug. Everything went great. Parts were all perfect and instructions easy to follow.



by: Rick08/25/2018

Installed on 2003 Toyota Tundra with the factory tow package. Installation was a breeze with the included vehicle specific wiring adapter. It took me about 45 minutes total. Looks professionally installed. Easy to use. Set the adjustment for your specific trailer and go!



by: Easy install01/21/2021

Perfectly wired directly to existing wiring that I had for the previous brake controller I replaced with the, Draw Tite I Command. This will make it a lot easier should I choose to upgrade the unit in the future.
Fantastic customer service from Joshua as well.



by: Jon W.05/15/2017

I ordered the powertrac with the 22292, 2011 ford F150 wiring adapter, It works great. 15 mins, and I had everything ready to go. It is a little sensitive to adjust but ones you get the feel for it, it takes no time to adjust. very happy with this unit, I would recommend this unit to everyone.

  • Recommended Brake Controller Wiring For 1975 International Scout II Truck
  • For your 1975 International Scout II, I recommend starting with a 4-way flat trailer connector like # 18252 if you don't already have one. Then I recommend using the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7. This kit will give you the wiring, connectors, and circuit breakers you need to install a brake controller and connect the other functions of a 7-way. I've attached a video to help. For a brake controller you mentioned the Tekonsha PowerTrac Electronic Brake

  • Install Harness for Tekonsha PowerTrac Brake Controller for 2018 Thor Challenger
  • Since your 2018 Thor Challenger has the factory 7-way that would mean that to install the Tekonsha PowerTrac electric brake controller part # 39523 all you need is the install harness part # 3035-P and you'd be set. This does plug into a port that is under the dash. The person you spoke with maybe was thinking of versions of the motorhome without tow package.

  • Is It Normal for the Tekonsha PowerTrac to be Sending Signal Without Brakes or Manual Lever Applied
  • It is perfectly normal for a brake controller, like your Tekonsha PowerTrac # 39523, to be sending a small amount of power back to the connector on your tow vehicle. That voltage that you are seeing is the brake controller's way of checking to see if there are brakes on a trailer that are connected or not. It should not be enough to apply your brakes. I would be willing to bet that your trailer brakes need to be adjusted. If you do not have the tool to do so you can use the Performance

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Brakes That Grab Too Much When Braking
  • Yes. It's possible that your brakes need adjustment but it's also possible that you've got self adjusting brakes and it could simply be an issue with the output level on your brake controller. If you've got a Tekonsha PowerTrac # 39523 there is a knob on the right of the front panel that will allow you to adjust the output of your controller and turning it down a bit may help with this as well. If you've got manually adjusting brakes then you'll have caps on the backing plate that you

  • Parts Needed to Install a Brake Controller in a 2015 Jeep Wrangler with 4-Way
  • 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 video for this product as well. 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.

  • Troubleshoot Brake Controller in 2007 Chevy Silverado where Controller only Works with Lever
  • With Chevy trucks like yours this problem is somewhat common. In almost all cases of this happening the problem is a blown third brake light fuse. When that fuse is blown the stoplight circuit for the controller stops working. Easy way to check this is to hit the brakes and see if the third brake light of the truck is working. In the fuse box under the dash there will be a fuse for the circuit CHMSL which will need to be replaced.

  • Compatibility of Tekonsha PowerTrac Brake Controller with 2015 GMC Canyon
  • The Tekonsha PowerTrac Electronic Brake Controller - 1 to 2 Axles - Time Delayed # 39523 will work well for your 2015 GMC Canyon with tandem axle trailer. You will also need the wiring harness # 20127. No plug is present under your dash to connect a brake controller but the necessary wires have already been run and are bundled under the dash. You will simply connect the factory wires to the new harness using the included butt connectors and you'll be good to go. I've attached a video

Your controller is working normally. I've linked to the owner's manual for the # 39523 brake controller as well as to a video that explains how it works.

Also, if you don't have all of the wiring ran from your brake controller to your 7-way you can use the Wiring Kit # 5506. We also have Dielectric Grease for Electrical Connectors # 11755.

  • 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. Proportional brake controllers have internal mechanisms that sense the braking of the tow vehicle and provide a smoother braking compared to a time delayed controller. The

  • If you are looking to just use the brake controller for a week on your 2014 Nissan Armada then the Tekonsha PowerTrac # 39523 is a great option being that it is the most cost-effective. You just need the plug and play wiring harness # 3050-P to connect it to the plug under your dash.

  • Can a Brake Controller Be Installled on an ATV

But you will have to cut off the connector on the brake controller and hardwire it to the Ford harness by function. The Ford harness should be labeled as to the functions of the wires. The brake controller uses white for ground, black for 12 volt power, blue for output to the trailer brakes, and red for input from the brake switch. The brake controller will not have any effect

  • I spoke with my co-worker, Bob, about this for some time this morning. We are both thinking you have a ground issue somewhere or possibly a short. Between the trailer brakes and the brake controller there are several grounds that need to be checked. I will start at the top and work down one by one till we can find the source of the problem. Some of this may be redundant so bear with me. I assume you mean that the green light does not come on when the truck is on and the trailer is connected.

  • I spoke with a colleague who worked at Chrysler and he stated that they do not put the trailer hitch and 7-Way wiring on the Grand Caravan at the factory. That is something that the dealer installs. In any event here is what you will need to do. The brake controller will need to be hardwired into the vehicle. The white wire on the brake controller will need to get connected directly to the negative terminal on the vehicle battery. The black wire will need to connect to a 30 amp circuit

  • Installing a Brake Controller on a 1988 GMC K 1500 Pickup Truck
  • GM did not install a brake controller adapter port in the C/K series pick up trucks, so there are no plug-in adapters that will allow you to install a brake controller without having to run wires. If you already have 7-way connector at the rear of your truck, then you could use wiring kit # 5506. This kit includes a duplex wire to run a brake output circuit from the brake controller to your 7-way and to run a wire from the brake controller to the battery (via the circuit breaker) and

  • Finding Stoplight Circuit on 2018 Mazda CX-9 for Brake Controller Install
  • Hey Zach, so we haven't had the chance to install a brake controller in a 2018 Mazda CX-9 so we don't have the wire color for the stoplight circuit switch but we can still help. The easiest is to use a circuit tester like the part # PTW2993 to test all of the wires that lead to the brake pedal switch till you find the circuit that only has voltage when the brakes are applied. But when you connect to this you are simply attaching to the circuit and not cutting it and preventing it from going

  • Do the Tow Ready and Tekonsha Brake Controller Harnesses use the Same Guage Wire
  • The Tow-Ready part, part # 20127, and the Tekonsha part, part # 7894, use the same size wires. The blue and black wires are 12 gauge and the red and white are 16 gauge. They are the same part other than wire length.

  • What Pigtail Fits the Reese TowPower 8508211 on My 2007 Dodge Ram Pickup?
  • Yes! The pigtail that you need for your Reese TowPower 8508211 is the Replacement Brake Control Plug-In Harness for Tekonsha and Draw-Tite Brake Controller 12" Long # 20127. This harness must be spliced into your wiring. We do not have a plug-and-play solution that works. In order to prep your 2007 Dodge Ram for use with a brake controller, you also need to have a 4-way harness and a 7-way harness installed already. If you don't have these, the parts you need are the T-One 4-way # 119178KIT

  • Can the Brake Control Plug-In Harness for Tekonsha and Draw-Tite Be Spliced in at the Tail Light
  • In theory you could, but that is not how the Brake Control Plug-In Harness for Tekonsha and Draw-Tite Brake Controller # 20127 is designed or intended to be used. It is not what we or the manufacturer would recommend and you would be taking the responsibility into your own hands at that point. Often times the vehicle brake lights get power when the headlights are turned on and you want to be sure that this is wired so that it is only activated when the brakes are applied. You will want

  • Parts Needed to Install a Primus Brake Controller on a 2007 Toyota Tacoma and 2008 GMC Yukon
  • For the 2007 Toyota Tacoma, if it is using wiring harness # 3040-P then you will not need anything else for the Tacoma. Or if using the factory Toyota harness you could replace it with # 3040-P. The harness will plug into the Primus brake controller # TK90160. I have linked a video showing how it would install on your generation Tacoma. On the 2008 GMC Yukon you will need plug-in harness # 20127 because the Yukon has a tow package wire bundle under the dash and not a place to plug into.

  • Troubleshooting Hopkins Reliance Brake Controller on 2008 GMC Sierra 1500
  • The first suggestion I have is to replace the Hopkins Reliance brake controller, which despite its name is an unreliable brake controller, to say the least. You can still get an economical brake controller that is far more reliable with the Brake EVN # TK63VR with Brake Control Harness # 20127 for your 2008 GMC Sierra 1500. In regards to the issue you are having, an E1 code on the Reliance means a trailer is not connected and there are a number of potential issues you will need to troubleshoot

  • Does Brake Controller Install in 2013 Toyota Tacoma Without Factory 7-Way Require Installation Kit
  • I'm not entirely sure what brake controller or wiring you have on your 2013 Toyota Tacoma, but I can tell you that to add a brake controller to your Tacoma you will need to first add Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118496 and then the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7. This is the only way you will be able to add a 7-way and brake controller since you do not have a factory 7-way on your '13 Tacoma. Once you have installed these you will
