Installation of Tekonsha Brake Controller Adapter

This adapter plugs into the connector beneath your vehicle's dashboard. To reach the connector, remove the driver's-side kick panel. Once you have removed the panel, you will see the gray, 4-pin connector that mates with the adapter.


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.

Fits Hyundai Santa Cruz. Easy plug and play installation. Paired it with a P3 brake controller. Nice setup, works perfectly.

This was a very easy installation of the hitch, wiring harness and trailer brake. Less than 2 hours with some help from my wife. All of the electrical was plug-n-play. I'm sure doing it myself (with help from [online]) saved me a lot of money.

  • Where is Brake Controller Install Harness on 2022 Hyundai Palisade
    According to Tekonsha who makes the brake controller install harness part # TK78VR that fits your 2022 Hyundai Palisade the brake controller install harness is behind the drivers side kick panel near where you left foot would be if you were driving. There will be a 4-pin connector that mates with the brake controller harness taped to another harness.

  • How to Disconnect Prodigy P3 Brake Controller From a 2020 Hyundai Palisade
    Yes, the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 can be transferred from your 2020 Hyundai Palisade to a different tow vehicle fairly easily actually. If your Palisade came with a trailer tow package then the Prodigy P3 would have been connected using the Plug-In Wiring Adapter # TK78VR, and if it didn't have the tow package then there would be a simple splice-in connector instead. You just have to reach up and behind your controller (see attached) to disconnect the black clip which is included whether...

  • Recommended Plug In Brake Controller Adapter for a 2021 Kia Telluride w/ the Factory Tow Package
    The plug in adapter Item # 3032-P you referenced is not but I have one that is. The correct adapter to connect the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller item # 90195 to your 2021 Kia Telluride is the Tekonsha item # TK78VR. The connector you're looking for in your Kia is located behind the driver's side kick panel, just to the left of where the driver's left foot would be when driving.

  • Best Low Profile Trailer Brake Controller For a 2022 Hyundai Palisade
    For your 2022 Hyundai Palisade I recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED24FR. This controller has a small control knob that mounts on your dash where you find it most convenient. The main unit will mount behind the dash out of sight. It is a proportional controller so once you have it set to the trailer you are pulling, the controller will automatically adjust power for light and heavy braking.

  • Wiring Harness For Installing Tekonsha 90195 P3 Brake Controller-2022 Kia Telluride w/ Tow Package
    We sure do! You'll want to use the Tekonsha 3081-P, which we offer as part # TK78VR. The connector is located behind the driver's side kick panel, just to the left of where the driver's left foot would be when driving. In case you're not familiar with the operation of the Prodigy P3, I've linked to a video that explains it for you.

  • Recommended Trailer Brake Controller For a 2022 Hyundai Palisade With Factory 7-Way
    I recommend installing the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED24FR on your 2023 Hyundai Palisade. This brake controller uses a small control knob mounted on your dash to adjust the brakes. The large portion of the controller is hidden behind the dash unlike other controllers which place the entire controller on the dash. You will be able to connect this to your factory wiring using the Tekonsha Harness # TK78VR with Adapter # 331-TPH-017 for a plug and play installation.

  • Does the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller Draw Power When the Vehicle is Off?
    Yes, it would. The Prodigy P3 Brake Controller item # 90195 is never really off it just goes into sleep mode. When in sleep mode it's drawing milliamps of power which would take your Kia sitting idle for months to drain your battery. I have the P2 item # 90885 installed in a truck that sits for weeks at a time outside in the cold during the winter and have never had a starting issue. If you are concerned it is really simple to unplug the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter item # TK78VR when...

  • How Does Curt 7-Way Kit for 2021 Hyundai Palisade Connect to Brake Controller Wiring
    Your 2021 Hyundai Palisade has brake controller wiring that runs from the port under the dash back to the plug that the Curt 7-way kit part # C68JR plugs into. That is why this kit that fits your vehicle does not have any wiring that runs from the front to the back. Once installed you could use an install harness like the part # TK78VR to install a controller like the Brake EVN # TK63VR and you'd be set.

  • What Wiring and Brake Controller do You Recommend for My 2022 Hyundai Palisade?
    For a great 4-way and 7-way setup for your 2022 Hyundai Palisade, I recommend the T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector - 4-Way # CU94FR and the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controllers - 7-Way # ETBC7. With the 4-way installed first and the 7-way installed second, you prep your vehicle for brake controller functionality. If you need a brake controller, I recommend the Tekonsha Voyager # 39510 or the Curt Echo # C51180. Both of these controllers...

  • Recommended Trailer Wiring And Brake Controller For 2022 Hyundai Palisade
    The first thing you need is the 4-way wiring harness, Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector, part # CU94FR. Once this is installed your trailer will mirror the brake lights, signal lights, and running lights of your 2022 Hyundai Palisade. This wiring harness does not require any wire splicing. The next piece will allow your trailer to mirror the reverse lights on your tow vehicle, power the brake controller, and provide a 12V hot lead. The Universal...

  • Parts Needed to Install Brake Controller and 7-Way 2023 Hyundai Palisade
    If you are missing the tow package to install a brake controller would be more involved on your 23 Palisade. You can still use the P2 and the install harness that plugs in under dash but you'd need to also install a 4-way part # C43FV and convert to 7-way with # ETBC7. In the owners manual of your Palisade will have the connections and fuses that need to be installed. For a hitch the etrailer # e95ZR would be a really great option that is mostly hidden and has great towing capacities.

  • Best Brake Controller and Towing Set Up for a 2019 Kia Telluride
    I would be happy to help you find a brake controller and set up your 2020 Kia Telluride to safely tow your trailer. I recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller item # RED24FR. The Liberty is a proportional brake controller that activates your trailers brakes when your Telluride decelerates. It also has a unique installation method where the main portion of the brake controller is installed behind your dash and the only visible portion is the control knob. If your Telluride...

  • Parts Needed To Install Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Trailer Brake Controller on 2024 Kia Telluride
    To install the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED24FR on your 2024 Kia Telluride with the factory tow package I recommend the following parts. First you will need the Tekonsha Pigtail # TK78VR to plug in under the dash on your Telluride. Then you can use the Adapter # 331-TPH-017 to plug and play directly to the Redarc Liberty. This means you will not have to splice into any wiring to install the controller.

    Welcome back! It looks like your 2021 Palisade has the Stealth Hitch w/ Towing Kit item # 391HYUNPALIS19T. Already having the 7-way connector gives you plenty of options. The best brake controller is going to be the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty item # RED24FR. This is a proportional brake controller that activates your trailer's brakes when your Palisade decelerates.
