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 cutting or splicing of wires to install. It is designed to plug directly into your electric brake controller for the simplest installation possible. Because there is no hardwiring, installation is not permanent. You can unplug and remove your brake controller at any time and securely stow it away.

This was long enough to route across from the emergency brake to the center console. Grounded white wire to a bolt under the dash with a 10mm nut. Easy

After 1 year of flawless use I am very pleased with this wiring harness for my 2016 Toyota 4Runner. The installation was super simple and easy; plug and play. I would definitely purchase again for another vehicle.

Plug and play! I've had the same brake controller on several vehicles...get the correct harnest for your vehicle and easy peezy! Advice: Plan on how you're going to route your wire harnest first before mounting brackets.

I haven't installed anything from my order just yet so i can't comment on the products just yet. I'm sure that these, like the others I've purchased over the years will do the job as advertised. This isn't my first time dealing with etrailer, so I'm not at all concerned with the job before me. Very few companies I've dealt with are as capable and competent as etrailer. Their customer service is second to none. Every employee I've spoken with has been well versed in the products as well as their uses and their installation. I highly recommend. Love these folks.

I have not installed the wiring harness yet but I found the connectors looks like it'll be a easy install a lot easier than a 2007 FJ cruiser installation.

2016 Toyota 4Runner
The wiring for the Tekonsha proportional brake control fit my 2016 4 Runner perfectly. Plus the videos that etrailer has showing where the plug in is under the dash made finding it a cinch.
Thank you so much etrailer- Anthony, one of their staff even sent me the links for the wiring and the brake controller videos so I wouldn't have to hunt for them. Amazing staff- very helpful. Thank you so much.

Thanks for asking. It means a lot that your company cares about products and service. Ive been very impressed with your company and the information that you provide. The brake controller works very well and is a very good product. Ive been very pleased with it. We went on a long trip from South Carolina to Montana. On the way we stopped by Mount Rushmore. Were going up a steep grade almost 10. Coming down it was nice that I could adjust the controller For more brake power. Thank you so much

Plugged in to 2016 4Runner TE and Tekonsha Voyager brake controller. Works great. Easy install. Be sure to connect white ground lug to a good metal grounded location. Simple to install and price is great.

I ordered this product from Etrailer ( 3041-P). It is made very well and the instructions for plugging it into my 4Runner were spot on. I needed to confirm of fit and availability and talked to there customer service Rep Christina. I was delivered to my house in just a day or two.

I would highly recommend this brake controller to anyone. Used it many times and is very easy to adjust based on weight of trailer being towed.

Worked fine for my 2015 4Runner. Installation of the wiring harness, especially the ground wire, a little difficult.

Installed on a 2016 SR5 4Runner. Plugged right in, white wire with pre-crimped terminal loop made it a snap. Super easy install.

Been a year, still working great.
by: Barbara F05/27/2017
Purchased Brake Controller and Wiring adapter. It was just as easy (or even easier) an installation than described. Dealer wanted about $150 to "wire" my brake installer. I noticed this product on-line and read reviews and decided to see if it really was what it said. It took my son around 10-15 minutes to get it mounted and ground. When plugged into trailer, it worked!!
When contacting Customer Service, I was very impressed.
by: Keith 07/15/2022
Quick delivery. Video for install made it super easy. Everything installed and ready to go in less than an hour. Haven't had a chance to tow with it yet, but did hook up trailer and it controlled as expected. Seems like a good economical solution. RV dealer wanted $300-400. This cost me right about $100 with controller + custom harness.

1997 Toyota 4Runner
Worked like a charm. Installed easily in 2014 4Runner & 1997 Chevy 2500. No problems, no hiccups, no glitches pulling a 7x20 12k flatbed. etrailer.com videos, specifically installation videos are very valuable and one reason I keep coming back to etrailer.com. The folks where I bought the trailer said I made a great choice with this controller. I couldn't agree more.

Just bought the cable that seamlessly integrates the Prodigy P2 brake controller to the factory wiring on my 2018 Toyota 4 Runner. A perfect fit that makes installation a breeze. Got quick delivery from etrailer.com.
by: Israel06/28/2021
Good unit, reliable. Display is hard to read and the form factor and mounting location results in a banged Knee from time to time. A longer wire harness would be good enabling a center console mount.
by: Tony 07/27/2021
Everything I have ever ordered from etrailer is top notch and their customer service is as good as it gets. I had delivery problems with the post office and an actual person from etrailer tracked the package and got the hiccup worked out. Can’t say enough good things about them.
by: Tostin06/16/2020
Plug and play just like it says. So easy that I installed this in a 2015 4Runner in the parking lot of our travel trailer dealer. Then used it to pull our R-pod home. Worked like it should. No complaints. Have always had great service from etrailer as well.
Thank you!

- Solution for Trailer Brake Controller Causing ABS Error Message on 2015 Toyota 4Runner The issue you described when using a brake controller isn't too uncommon on certain late model Toyota vehicles like your 2015 4Runner. These particular vehicles are more sensitive to the controller's red wire backfeeding to the stop light switch, which is what triggers the ABS error message. The only way to prevent this is to use the a diode with the harness and the Pigtail Harness # 7865 that you mentioned offers a perfect solution as it features a diode on the red wire. The Plug-In...
view full answer... - What Signals Are Carried on the Circuits of 7-Way Type Trailer WiringThe 7-way type trailer wiring format does include enough circuits for all the trailer lights, 12V auxiliary power for a trailer-mounted battery and for trailer brakes. On a 7-way socket the trailer brake signal is carried on the contact at the 5-o-clock position. Please refer to the linked photo of a 7-way vehicle socket that shows you which signals are carried on each of the pins. I also included an article that explains all the types of trailer wiring in common use. Having a 7-way on...

- Brake Controller and Install Harness Recommendation for 2018 Toyota 4RunnerFor your 2018 Toyota 4Runner the best brake controller I would recommend is 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. To install it in your 2018 4Runner only requires the install harness # 3041-P which is designed to fit your vehicle....
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Brake Controller and Ball Mount W/ 2" Hitch Ball For 2016 Toyota 4RunnerStarting with the trailer brake controller I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 as it is a top of the line proportional trailer brake controller that matches the braking intensity that you apply to your vehicles brakes to your trailer brakes. The P3 # 90195 also is our most popular trailer brake controller due to it being extremely reliable, the easy to read LCD screen, and the built in diagnostics that are easy to read and understand. To install the P3 # 90195 in your 2016 Toyota...

This is on a '17 4Runner but the grounding point will be the same for your 2019 Toyota 4Runner, under the dash. If you go to about the 3:45 mark of the video you can see this taking place, and you will be using the adapter's self-tapping screw.

- Brake Controller and Wiring Harness for a 2016 Toyota 4Runner with Factory Tow PackageSince your 2016 Toyota 4Runner already has the factory tow package and trailer connector then adding a brake controller will be easy. I recommend the Tekonsha P3 brake controller # 90195 because it has multiple presets for towing different trailers, a boost feature, works with electric over hydraulic and electric braking systems, and has easy to understand diagnostic messages. The only other part you will need is wiring harness # 3041-P to plug it directly into your 4Runner. I have linked...

The vehicle end of the harness will plug right into the factory port behind the dash of your Tacoma, but since the controller end won't match up to the Redarc unit, you will just need to cut off the plug and hardwire it to the controller's pigtail. The wiring from the Plug-In Harness matches up color by color to the Tow Pro's pigtail...

This is a plug and play harness that will connect behind your emergency brake. It is a separate part that is not included with the brake controller. I have linked an installation video below.
view full answer... - Why Does the Factory Brake Controller Wiring Harness for a Toyota 4Runner Have Five WiresThe reason your factory brake controller wiring harness has five wires is because one of them is for a backlight setting that is not needed on most brake controllers nowadays which includes the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90195. Therefore, you will only need to make four connections. Unfortunately, I do not have schematics for the factory brake controller wiring harness that came with your 2016 Toyota 4Runner but for the Prodigy P3 the functions are as follows: Black...

Just cut the brake controller end off the first harness and splice on the one from the second. You need a diode on the red wire to stop back feeding which is what is causing the error message...

view full answer... - Is 2016 Toyota 4Runner Pre Wired for a Brake ControllerIf it has the factory 7-way trailer connector, your 4Runner will indeed be pre-wired at the factory for a brake controller. The Tekonsha Primus, part # TK90160 you'd looked at is an excellent brake controller that would work very well for you. You'll also need the # 3041-P brake controller wiring adapter, which would plug into the factory connector as shown in the installation video I've linked for you.
view full answer... - Recommended Weight Distribution for 2016 Toyota 4Runner and Flagstaff Travel TrailerI can help you get a easy to use weight distribution for your 2016 Toyota 4Runner and Flagstaff Travel Trailer. To choose the right weight distribution it will be based on loaded tongue weight which is typically between 10-15% of the trailer gross weight and anything in addition to that loaded behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. With a weight of 5,350lbs max this can be anywhere from 418-802lbs of tongue weight. I have linked a Help Article on how to determine your loaded tongue weight....

We do offer the Adapter # 331-TPH-017 which will allow you to connect directly from the Tekonsha pigtail to the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Brake Controller # RED44FR without having to cut off the connector or splice any wiring. We also have the Mounting Panel # 331-TPSI-002 which will allow you to...

There isn't a controller out there more reliable and better performing that these. The Curt Triflex part # C24VV isn't a bad controller but it's just not quite the same. One aspect is the mounting flexibility is much more limited for the Curt. The Prodigies allow for 360 degrees of mounting rotation as long as the controller faces the rear, but the Curt has a much smaller range. We find too that the Curt controllers...

- Is The Tekonsha 3040-P Wiring Adapter Supposed To Have A Ground Strap Like The 3041-P? The Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter # 3040-P is supposed to have the additional ground strap for your 2019 Toyota Sequoia. This was something that was not always on the harness but was added some time ago as the factory wiring ground was insufficient. This will allow you to properly connect your Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Controller # 90195 to your Sequoia. While it will look similar to the Tekonsha # 3041-P they are not interchangeable as they terminals are different.
view full answer... - Brake Controller Installation on 2015 Toyota 4Runner Using Factory Pigtail HarnessA brake controller isn't a vehicle-specific piece of equipment, so just about any controller will work on any vehicle with a 12-volt electrical system. The Tekonsha Primus # TK90160 will work perfectly on your 4Runner. If by 'Factory harness' you mean the pigtail that was in the glove box when you purchased it, you can indeed wire it to the harness that exits the rear of the controller, but the wires on the Primus won't match color for color. You'd need to wire that up as follows: -Black/Red...
