I will be glad to help you out with that. You have the Primus Brake Controller, part # TK90160 so that is taken care of.

If you have a 4-way connector on your vehicle you will need the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller, part # ETBC7. This will connect to your 4-way connector and with additional wiring give you both a 4-way and a 7-way connector. I have attached a link to an installation video that shows a brake controller and the # ETBC7 controller being installed on a Honda Odyssey.

If you do not have a 4-way connector at the back of your Odyssey, I recommend part # 118438. This is a T-One wiring harness that installs quickly and easily without splicing or cutting into the vehicle wiring.

If extra wire is needed I recommend part # 10-1-1. This is 10-gauge wire that is sold by the foot. If a ring terminal is needed I recommend part # DW05705-1, and for butt connectors that work with 10 or 12 gauge wire I recommend part # 05732-2(2 in each package).

Anytime you are working with electrical connectors I recommend using dielectric grease like part # 11755. This keeps dirt and moisture out of the connections and helps prevent corrosion.

That's a very good question, we tend to be extra cautious and say to use 10 gauge wire because that would be more than enough. When you get into longer trailers that will end up using a lot of wire the heavier gauge wire becomes more necessary.…

Answer 8

Either way is correct. It depends on if you want to keep the semi-style 7-Way (if you need to tow that type of trailer) or if you will never be towing a semi-trailer. If you need to keep the 7-Way semi active on the truck, then you would need to make…
