Easy-to-Access Brake Controller
The Tekonsha POD is designed to mount in any direction, and it's especially suited for mounting on near-vertical dashes. All the controls are on the front of the module, so you can still access them with the controller tucked away in a convenient place.
Braking Output
Braking output is the maximum amount of power that will be applied to your trailer's brakes. How much braking output you need is determined by the weight of your trailer; a heavier trailer will need more power to bring it to a stop. You want to set the braking output as high as you can without locking up the brakes. Once you've set up the brake controller the first time, you shouldn't need to adjust the settings until the trailer load changes, you switch trailers, or road conditions change. Use the thumbwheel on the side to change the braking output level. The output setting will appear as a number on the digital display, with a higher number indicating higher braking power.
Manual Override
The Tekonsha POD keeps the manual override within easy reach on the front of the module, great for stopping sway or controlling your trailer's momentum in emergencies. Push the slide-bar lever to activate the trailer's brakes and brake lights without you having to apply the brakes on your tow vehicle, perfect for limiting trailer movement while you re cruising.
Quick, Simple Installation
Because inertia plays no role in the functioning of this controller, you do not have to mount the unit at any particular angle. Your mounting options are limitless, with the controller designed with all of the controls on the front of the module so you can access them even if it's mounted upside down.
If your vehicle already has a plug-in brake controller wiring harness, just connect the unit to it. Otherwise, you will need to purchase a vehicle-specific wiring harness (sold separately) to plug into. If a harness is unavailable for your vehicle, hardwiring will be necessary.
Installation Accessories
See also etrailer.com's exclusive 7- and 4-way brake control installation kit (ETBC7 - sold separately) if you don't already have a 7-way plug at the back of your vehicle.
Note: If a custom brake control wiring adapter is not available for your vehicle, a 20-amp circuit breaker (sold separately) may be required for installation.
Time-Delayed Braking
The Tekonsha POD comes equipped with time-delayed braking. Every time you apply the brakes in your vehicle, a signal is sent - via the brake switch - to the POD. The controller then sends power out to your trailer brakes to activate them with an intensity set by you, at a rate determined by you. The amount of braking power (output) can be adjusted to suit your preference, the road conditions, the type of trailer, and the weight of your load. To determine which levels are best for your application, test your towing setup and choose what feels right.

Installation of Tekonsha Brake Controller Adapter
This adapter plugs into the 5-pin connector on your vehicle's built-in brake control wiring harness. The harness is located underneath the dash, to the left of the steering column, taped to another harness near the emergency brake 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.

2014 Toyota Tundra
Arrived as promised it was easy to install I have tried it out a couple times on my 7X16 cargo trailer. Today I think I have set it up properly for my truck and trailer at B1 at #12 boost level. It never locked up trailer brakes but I believe it is right. Installed on 2014 4x4 Tundra with 4.6 V8 etrailer sent hook up wire to fit Toyota receptacle which was behind driver side kick panel. Grounded to gas pedal bolt, mounted unit under dash on right side of steering wheel.

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.

Toyota Tundra
It would be easy to have this part order and install on the Tundra. i went one step further and end up using the wiring in the box with P3 Trailer brake and had to splice the wiring to make longer extension in order to install the P3 in the empty slot between the lighter and 12v socket which make is more customized look and out of way. Would be cool if they offer longer version for someone who want to install it somewhere else behind the driver's spot zone.

I use this brake controller for my 2007 Tundra hauling a 6x10 dump trailer. I’m very pleased with the product, it works great. The only thing I notice is that you have to be very aware of your load, dialing in the right number for your weight. I could be at 4.8 and my trailer tires will lock up. Go down to 4.6 and they’ll be good. That’s the only thing I notice.

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.

WOW! Somebody that actually cares! This email was a real surprise. Yes I amstill using the controller and it works better than any I have ever owned. Idefinitely recommend I as well as etrailer.com to everyone interested.Thanks for caring about your customers!
by: Linus01/30/2014
Pictures of the install. Approximately a 20 min job. First picture my finger is pointing to the factory plug with the etrailer supplied harness plugged in. Note the harness did not specify that the white common with the ring terminal should be connected to ground. But then again that SHOULD be obvious. I will be towing this weekend so I will rate the product then. One minor gripe is that there is always power to the unit which is a battery drain (as evidenced with the key out of the ignition and the unit stayed on) Not sure as to the impact but the controller can always be unplugged or removed.
Sorry for the dirty floor mats in the photos.

Just a quick note, the controller has an automatic shut-off. After 15 minutes of the truck powering off and sitting still, the control powers down. As soon as it sees movement, it powers back on.

So you ran ground to negative side of battery? Or just on the frame interior somewhere?
Rachael H.

For this harness you can either run the ground to the negative side of the battery, or use a know ground location within the vehicle. Running the ground to the negative side of the battery will yield a better connection, however you may have to extend the wire to reach the battery. Either way you choose to ground the controller it is always recommend to test the brake controller at slow speeds and make sure that it is functioning properly before starting a long trip.

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.

ToyotaTacoma
Install is very easy once you locate the vehicle's brake controller plug. The plug in a Tacoma is extremely well hidden. It is high above the driver's side kick panel taped behind a plug wrapped in foam. I have attached a photo to help you locate it in a late model Tacoma. Once I found the plug, the install took less than 20 min. The controller works great.

Very well
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.

2008 ToyotaTacoma
We ordered a part for the 2008 Land Cruiser and was told that it's the same installation. IT IS NOT! The connection to the harness is not in the same location as Tacoma. After looking for more than an hour, I got smart and found some info on another website. Even the manufacture has the info wrong. So, if you have a 200 series Land Cruiser, your plug is located under the dash behind the switches for the mirror. You will need to take apart the lower dash panel and then push out the switch panel. There is no need to detach any switch, it all hangs out just fine. See photos for the location of the plug. Plug the adapter in from there you can follow the instructions.

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.

2013 Dodge Ram Pickup
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.
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: Robert F.07/08/2015
Easy to install. Owners manual had location of factory plug and we installed the entire system in less than an hour. We used the removable bracket so the unit can be stored in the case that was included with the controller when not towing so it is completely out of the way of the drivers legs and knees. We are a collision repair shop and I would rate the ease of installation as relatively easy if you just use common sense and consider wiring location and controller location BEFORE drilling holes in the plastic lower dash cover. Also need to be mindful on the lower air bag that protects the drivers legs in a serious collision and the routing of the wires if you install it on the right side of the steering wheel. We used wire ties and a small plastic wire holder to place the wiring in a secure place that does not rub through the wire insulation or get snagged by the drivers feet. See the attached photos. All work was performed in slightly less than one hour.

Do you have a question about this Trailer Brake Controller?
- Trailer Brake Controller That Works With A 2022 Nissan Rogue
- Yes, the Tekonsha PowerTrac Electronic Brake Controller # 39523 with the universal wiring harness # 20127 will work great with your 2022 Nissan Rogue.
This brake controller measures 3" wide, 5" long, 1-1/4" tall, can be used on trailers that have up 2 axles, and includes the mounting brackets and installation hardware.

view full answer... - 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.

- 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.
view full answer... - 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

- 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.

- 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.

- 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.

- 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.

- Yes, you can use brake controller # 39523 with the Ford brake controller wiring harness on your 2009 F-150. 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.
