Tekonsha Voyager Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 4 Axles - Proportional
part number: 39510
This proportional brake controller is designed to keep towing simple. Includes an LED braking indicator, a slide-bar manual override, and a knob to adjust braking power. Mounts easily within a 90-degree vertical range.
Features:
- Brake controller activates trailer brakes in proportion to your vehicle's braking action
- Automatically adjusts trailer's braking based on deceleration of tow vehicle
- Simple controls keep your settings within easy reach
- Gain setting lets you adjust the amount of power sent to the trailer's brakes
- Slide-bar manual override allows you to control trailer sway or stop in emergencies
- Sensitivity knob lets you set initial braking power and aggressiveness for smooth, safe braking
- Green LED on the top of the module monitors a secure connection with trailer
- Glows red to indicate that trailer brakes are being activated
- Quick and easy installation with included bracket and hardware
- 90-Degree vertical mounting range - must be horizontally level and parallel to direction of travel
- Plug-in, vehicle-specific brake-control adapter available for select vehicles to reduce installation time
Specs:
- Application: trailers with up to 4 axles (8 brake assemblies)
- Compatible with electric brakes only
- Dimensions: 5" long x 3" wide x 1-1/2" tall
- Mounting: between -20 degrees and 70 degrees in the vertical plane
- 5-Year limited warranty
Power and Sensitivity Adjustment
Once the brake controller is installed, you can use the knob on the right side of the unit to adjust the gain (also known as output). Gain lets you set the maximum amount of power that will be applied to your trailer's brakes. You want to set it as high as you can without locking up the brakes. Typically, this setting is only readjusted when you experience changing road conditions or if you switch over from a heavy, loaded trailer to a much lighter, empty trailer, or vice versa.
You can fine-tune the gain by adjusting the sensitivity of the internal sensor using the knob on the left side. This 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. A high sensitivity level will get the braking power to your trailer brakes faster and with more intensity so that it doesn't push your tow vehicle forward.
LED Indicator
Keeping with its simple design, the Voyager will not overwhelm you with information. An LED indicator on the top of the unit lights up green to show that your trailer is securely connected to your tow vehicle. The LED indicator will change to red when the brakes on your trailer are activated.
During installation and setup, this light is also used to ensure that the Voyager will be able to function correctly. Proper leveling of the internal sensor is crucial to the operation of this brake controller. When the sensor is level, the LED will change to a shade of orange.
Simple Installation
The Voyager is designed to be mounted in your cab at a vertical angle that is between -20 degrees and 70 degrees. The brake controller needs to be horizontally level and parallel to the direction of travel in order to function properly.
To connect the Voyager, hardwire the included harness to your vehicle. For a plug-and-play installation, a vehicle-specific wiring adapter is available for select vehicles. One end of the custom adapter plugs into your vehicle, and the other end plugs into the controller - no hardwiring required.
Once the controller is mounted and connected, you must level the internal sensor. First, set the overall power to the maximum using the knob on the side of the controller. Then, while pressing the tow vehicle's brake pedal, adjust the level knob on the other side of the brake controller (this is the same knob that is used to fine-tune the power output) until the LED monitor is a shade of orange.
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, 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 Voyager 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 Voyager uses a pendulum system to sense 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.

I am very satisfied with the Voyager brake Controller I purchased. It is the easiest unit to adjust that I have ever owned. The controls are easy to adjust and it has worked well with my trailers.
by: Corey M.08/01/2020
etrailer makes the purchase easy. I have always used Tekonsha Voyagers, and on my new truck (2015 Silverado) I also wanted the convenience of having the plug and play wiring harness. etrailer had exactly what I needed and was very easy to find on the website. Installation was flawless and clean thanks to the good hardware supplied. Very excited to put some trailers behind the truck with the stopping power confidence that comes with the Voyager.

Exactly what I was looking for and needed ! It was delivered very quick . Actually I just ordered a complete wiring harness from you tonight . Your service and follow up is great

The Tekonsha Voyager trailer brake controller works well in my 99 Silverado 1500, which was easy to setup for my trailer. The option to allow for different settings of aggression for the trailer braking has allowed the stopping with different loads to be graceful with the turn of a knob. Decided to install the controller in CD storage with velcro for a nice look. Easy access when in place during use for easy observation and twicking during operation. The wife can assist with the twicking while I am driving. Excellent product!
by: Robert G07/15/2016
Completely plug and play installation and works flawlessly, very happy with this unit. I also ordered the exact harness for my 2005 f150 with tow package. Here are a couple of hints that may be helpful. My installation also required a 30 amp cartridge fuse to be installed in the fuse panel in location #105(electric trailer brakes) under the dash on the passenger side. I also installed a relay in location r05 (trailer tow battery charge) but I don't think this is needed for the controller to function. I still had the original trailer brake kit and it had the additional fuse panel instructions and the relay. The owners manual showed where the 30 amp fuse and relay plugs in. You cannot test this unit until a trailer with brakes is connected, ie the led will not light up until it senses a brake circuit.

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: Mark01/04/2020
This is my second Tekonsha; I had to replace my 10-year old one after I accidentally broke it.
This one is a bit of an upgrade, and is easily able to lock up the disc brakes on my 15,000 lb trailer. Adjusting it properly, I'm able to brake as though there were no trailer at all. Set it, and forget it. It doesn't get any easier than that.
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: 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: Alfie07/30/2020
Received this yesterday and was able to install it today. Instructions were very easy to follow and the only problem I had installing it was contorting myself to install the bracket. Once I got the bracket in place the rest was a piece of cake. Went for a test drive as the instructions suggested and did have to tweak it a little but it's doing exactly what I expect it to do. I'll be hauling a John Deere Tractor and wanted to make sure the brakes on the trailer worked.

Ram 2500
I installed the Curt gooseneck on my 1993 GMC 2 Wheel Dr. 2500 truck. All the components have tight tolerances. It took me eight hours. With a socket and the wrench. Laying on my back. I did have to cut the wheel well lip about 3/8 of an inch off because I could not get that front angle bar to slide in without hitting it, no way around it unless you lift the bed up and I wasn’t going to do that!!. You have to cut it.instructions do not state that. I’m very happy with the Hitch, it is definitely stout! I did have to make a notch on the outside brackets to go over my airbag bolt. I also had to remove the support bracket on the inside of the frame for the airbag and the crossmember for the spare tire to get the front angled bar in.
by: Jake 08/20/2021
This was an easy install on my 2019 GMC truck using the appropriate wiring adapter. Instructions for setting up the control were clear. After a few adjustments my trailer brakes worked as they should. Minor adjustments of the controller are needed from time to time, but overall the controller is reliable. Good value.

by: Douglas08/03/2023
As always, etrailer delivers. Part was on time and a perfect match for the brake controller. What you don't get from Amazon is the technical support on how to install or use the equipment purchased from etrailer. That's why I keep coming back!

My truck was stolen and wrecked. I was able to retrieve the Tekonsha Brake controller from under the Dash board before it was hauled to the salvage yard, but not the wire harness.

Still works perfectly after one year. Actually, I been using this Controller for well over a year. I just reinstalled it in my new truck a year ago.
by: Walter Calloway05/24/2015
The product was easy to install with the help of the F-250 adapter. I followed the direction and the product worked just as it was advertised from etrailer.com. If I had to give the Tekonsha Voyager Trailer Break Controller a star rating from 1-5, I would give it a 4.5.
by: Chad07/13/2021
Works as intended, but the plug on the back of the controller is a loose connection. Sometimes I would go to brake and find that I had no trailer brakes because the controller lost power. After a wiggle it would start to work again. I was able to shave the Molex plug a bit and now I don't have any problems with it.

Thank you for your review. I have not heard of that problem. I would have used some electrical tape.

Easy installation and seems to be a great product. I also used the harness for my 07 new body Silverado for a easy install. Videos are a great help as well . I will purchase all of my trailer and RV needs from ETrailer from now on.

- Since you already have the factory tow package in your 2015 Ford Transit T250, I recommend the Tekonsha Voyager # 39510 along with the harness # 20127 to give you your basic controller. This will need to be hardwired as your vehicle doesn't have the dash adapter. I recommend using a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to test wires for function before splicing.
If there are no brake controller output wires and 12V power lined under your dash, then to hardwire your controller you will need

- Any time that a brake controller works with the manual override but not the brake pedal that usually indicates a problem with the red wire connection or a blown stop light or CHMSL fuse (use the owner's manual to find the locations of fuses). You can use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to test the red wire going into the brake controller. It should show power when you step on the brake pedal.

- It sounds as if you have the red wire from the Voyager Brake Activator, item # 39510, attached to the cruise control wire that is connected to the brake pedal switch. This wire will need to be moved to a different brake pedal switch wire. My contact at Tekonsha shows that on the 2010 Toyota RAV4 the correct wire to connect to is a light blue wire.

- It sounds like you have some corrosion on your trailer connector that is shorting out the brake output circuit and causing it to have 12 volts continuously on that circuit.

- The first thing I would do is unplug the brake controller wiring harness # 22292 from your 2014 Ford F-150 and test each function on the truck's connector. Inspect both connectors and make sure no pins are bent, they're pretty fragile and this is relatively common.
If all of the pins look okay, and the functions coming from your truck check out, make sure the wires going into the back of the connectors match up with each other. We've seen it, on occasion, where a truck manufacturer

- Since your Tekonsha Voyager Trailer Brake Controller # 39510 is blinking orange there is one of two things going on.
The first is that the ground wire is not making a good connection causing the issue. You can check this by making sure your ground wire is securely connected to clean corrosion free metal.
The second is that the blue brake output wire has a short in it. Since you mentioned a fuse blew one time this would be my guess. You will need to check the blue brake output wire

- Trailer brake controllers, like the Tekonsha Voyager Trailer Brake Controller # 39510 are designed for 12v systems, however you can re-wire it to work on 24v systems.
I have attached a help article that will help you with the re-wire process, but you're going to need a Tekonsha 30 Amp Circuit Breaker # 7012A, and 10 Gauge Primary Wire # 10-1-1 to run power to your controller and the brake output wire to your 7-way.

- It sounds to me like you have the red wire coming from the Tekonsha Voyager, # 39510, connected to the wrong wire under your dash. The red wire needs to connect to the cold side of the brake light switch which will only show power when the brake pedal is pressed. Use a circuit tester like # PTW2993. This causes your trailer brakes to engage when the pedal is pressed, and not all the time.

view full answer... - Why Doesn't a Tekonsha Voyager Brake Controller Activate Trailer Brakes When Brake Pedal is Tapped
- Yes, the Tekonsha Voyager part # 39510 that you referenced senses braking from your tow vehicle with its internal accelerometer and will send a proportional amount of braking power back to your trailer brakes. Since you said you were traveling between 3-5 miles per hour and where only tapping the brakes the controller wouldn't go and strongly apply the trailer brakes. To test the system better you would want to travel a little faster and apply the brakes harder than just tapping them.

- If you have a circuit tester like the part # PTW2993 test the red wire of the brake controller for voltage when the brakes are applied. If there is voltage when you press the brakes then the brake controller is bad but if not then the issue is that you aren't getting a stoplight signal for the controller to allow the controller to know you are applying the brakes. Sometimes this issue is as simple as a blown third brake light fuse or just a bad connection to the vehicle wiring.
view full answer... - Brake Controller Harness For Tekonsha Primus Brake Controller For 2013 Chevy Silverado
- There isn't a plug-and-play wiring harness for any brake controller for a 2013 Chevy Silverado, even with the tow package. So while we do have a harness for your Primus brake controller, it is a splice-in harness:

view full answer... - 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.

- In order to install a brake controller and a 6-Way connector on a 2007 Ford Explorer that has a factory 4-Way you will need 2 items. First you will need the brake controller itself. I recommend the Tekonsha P2, # 90885, because it is one of our best selling controllers because it is easy to use and set up.
Then you will need installation kit # ETBC6. This kit is needed because all of the wiring is not ran to the back of an Explorer that has the 4-Way. I have included some links that
view full answer... - How to Find the Brake Switch Wire to Install a Brake Controller in a 2013 Ford Edge
- Traditionally (at least from 2004 to 2007) Ford has used a green wire on the brake switch to attach to the red wire on a brake controller. However, the only way to know for sure is to test the wires using a circuit tester like # PTW2993. Manufacturers can use any wire they want and if they run out of the normal color they use, they grab whatever is available to keep the assembly line moving.
To test the wire, use the circuit tester to probe the wires. You need the one that only shows

- You will need to hardwire in a brake controller on your 2013 Ford Edge.
First you will need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way. For that you will need an Brake Controller Installation Kit # ETBC7. This comes with everything you will need to install a fully functional 7-way and brake controller in your vehicle. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product for you to check out.

- Installing a brake controller on your 2001 Dodge 1500 Van is a hardwire installation. In addition to the brake controller and the wiring harness like # 20127, you may also need a 4 and 7 Way Installation kit, # ETBC7 depending on what type of trailer connector is on the van.
If the van already has a 7-Way trailer connector, you will need to add a brake controller installation kit, # 5506. On the back of the 7-Way connector, find the wire that is coming out of the 7:00 position. Cut the

- On the 2008 Chevy Colorado with a factory tow package, the wiring for a brake controller is located under the dash, to the left of the brake pedal. The wire bundle should have a white tag on it that also lists the functions of each wire. You will need to match the wires to the brake controller by function, not by color.
On the brake controller, white is ground, black is 12 volt power, blue goes out to the trailer connector, and red is in from the stop light circuit on the brake switch.

- For your Tekonsha Brake Controller, the custom wiring harness # 3026-P is not a confirmed fit for your 2018 model as it was for your 2011 model. At this time we don't have a confirmed fit from any of our manufacturers. It appears that Buick has changed their connector and the only fit at this time is hardwiring the brake controller. For that, you can use the Replacement Brake Control Plug-In Harness for Tekonsha and Draw-Tite Brake Controller 12" Long # 20127. I've attached a wiring

- If your trailer brakes are only working when you apply the manual override the issue is commonly the red wire - the stop light switch. Make sure it is connected to the circuit that that only sees voltage when the brakes are applied. The issue with not displaying numbers does make me think that the brake controller may have hit the fritz and need to be replaced though, and this would be true if the numbers never display, even when using the manual override.
For your 2011 GMC Sierra a

- It sounds like your Grand Caravan is wired like the Jeep Grand Cherokee. I have confirmed this by speaking with my contact at Tekonsha. He tells me that the wire you located is indeed the brake control output circuit. This wire would be ran through the firewall and would connect to the blue wire on the brake controller.
To complete the installation, you will connect the white wire of the controller pigtail # 20127 to the negative battery terminal, the black controller wire to the positive
