Built-In Controls on the Syncronizer
Power Output Control
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 left of the module to change your settings.
Red Indicator Light
The red LED indicator light illuminates when the trailer brakes are applied. This light glows brighter as the power output to the trailer brakes increases.
Slide-Bar Manual Override
The Hayes Syncronizer 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, so long as you can still easily access the controller and manual override.
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 Hayes Syncronizer 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 Syncronizer. 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.
81725 Hayes Synchronizer Electric Brake Controller - Time Based
Custom Wiring Adapter for Hayes Brake Controllers - Dual Plug
part number: HA81787-HBC
Install your Hayes electric trailer brake controller quickly and easily with this custom wiring adapter. One end plugs into the controller, and the other plugs into the built-in port beneath your vehicle's dash.
Features:
- Plug-in wiring adapter allows for quick, simple installation of your electric trailer brake controller
- No cutting or splicing required
- Custom connector end plugs into the built-in port beneath the dash of your vehicle
- Opposite end plugs into the back of your electric brake controller
- Compatible with time-delayed and proportional brake controllers from Hayes
- Made in the USA
Installation of Hayes Brake Controller Adapter
To install your Hayes electric brake controller, you need to connect the wiring of the controller to your vehicle. Certain auto manufacturers offer pre-wired options, typically known as tow packages, in which the wiring is run for you from the dash to the trailer connector on the back of your vehicle. Usually when this is done, a port is installed at your dash so that you can easily plug in a brake controller.
This adapter plugs into the 4-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.
No hardwiring is required to install this adapter. After you plug it into the factory port, you simply plug the other end of the adapter directly into your electric trailer brake controller. Because there are no wires to connect, installation is not permanent. You can unplug and remove your brake controller at any time to transfer it to another vehicle or securely stow it away.

Great price, no delay as it came the same day as promised. Feel very comfortable dealing with etrailer !

Super easy to install and the additional information they provided for my specific vehicle made it possible for me to have every piece necessary for a seamless installation.
by: Lawrence 09/07/2023
Splicing the wires was no problem. Instructions were good. The only recommendation that I will give is that you trash all screws with flat screw driver heads. I also opted for bolts, nuts & washers for attaching the bracket.
by: Ed09/13/2023
I think it will be a good brake controller, I have not had a time delayed on before.

Installation was simple and straightforward. Took less than 30 minutes from start to finish.
by: Bob P.04/10/2016
Original supplied item was defective, however Hayes customer service immediately sent another unit and it works great. With the addition of a small removable slip in bracket for the console of my 2012 GMC 1500 Crew Cab and the wiring adapter, I can simply plug and play when I need the controller as opposed to a permanent installation that I have in my other pickup.

Looks good!
by: Dylan 04/10/2021
Works well. I like the delayed brake activation, it seems to be a smoother transition. The custom harness makes installing this controller easy and FAST. Love buying Made in the USA products and etrailer.com has a lot of them.
by: Frank 11/16/2019
easy to install. Brakes tested good to trailer. I used self taping screws to mount brackets, rather than the bolts and nuts that it came with.It was to difficult to get my hands in position to use bolts and nuts (no big deal).
by: Nick 04/24/2023
Fit perfectly. Followed instructions and it works as it should. Great product at a great price.

This is the 2nd one of these I’ve bought. I like the time delay application to the brakes. Always will try to buy products made in the USA. The price went up since I bought this same controller 1 1/2 years ago.

Do you have a question about this Trailer Brake Controller?
- Troubleshooting Cruise Control Not Working After Brake Controller Install
- Sounds like you connected the red (stoplight switch circuit) wire to the wrong circuit on your truck. When the cruise control on a vehicle starts acting up that is a tell-tale sign that the wrong circuit is being used for the red wire.
What you want to do is use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to test the wires near the brake pedal to find the circuit that only sees 12 volts when the brakes are applied and none when the brakes are released. Correcting this should take care of both

view full answer... - Is it Normal for Brake Controller Light to Stay On When Not in Use
- Brake controllers don't have an off switch and are designed to go into a sleep mode after 15 minutes or so of inactivity. It sounds like your controller is wired up correctly in your 2009 Chevy Silverado and the controller just hasn't gone to sleep yet. You wouldn't want to just unplug it as that will cause it to lose it's user settings.

view full answer... - Will Hayes Sincronizer Trailer Brake Controller Fit on a Honda Goldwing Motorcycle
- Yes, the Hayes Syncronizer Trailer Brake Controller # HA81725 is a good choice with your Honda Goldwing.
A time delayed controller is a better choice on a motorcycle because of the limited space for installation. A proportional controller has more limitations as to how they can be mounted which will be an issue on a bike. Also, the leaning of a motorcycle while turning will tilt the controller and a proportional controller cannot function this way.

- The display on the Hayes Syncronizer Trailer Brake Controller # HA81725 should illuminate both when you press the brake pedal and when you use the manual override lever. If it does not light up when you press the brake pedal then either there is a problem wit the red wire's connection to the brake light circuit or you have the power set so low that the display does not light up.
The controller will apply full power with the manual lever but with the brake pedal it will illuminate only

- We have several choices that would be a fit for you, I'd recommend the Curt Class III receiver hitch, part # 13055. The hitch has a respectable 600 lb tongue weight/ 6000 lb towing capacity, so it'd be the perfect choice. The hitch is pretty simple to install, with no drilling required.
For a trailer wiring harness, use part # 118551.

view full answer... - Why Is My Hayes Brake Controller Only Getting 10v At the Brakes
- The Hayes Syncronizer Trailer Brake Controller # HA81725 requires 12v to operate properly so since you're only getting 10v at the brakes that leads me to believe there is a wiring issue somewhere.
You're going to need to go through your wiring, testing incrementally for voltage while looking for any damaged or exposed wires.
If that's all good, I'd double check the wire is 10 gauge # 10-1-1 because smaller wire can cause also voltage drop. It's also a good idea to check your ground
