Is 10-Gauge Black Wire Included in ETBC7 Brake Controller Installation Kit
Question:
In the video they install a black wire to the 40 amp CB. Is this wire included in this kit? I dont see it referenced in the photos or parts list. Thank you!

The black wire shown in the videos for the # ETBC7 brake controller installation kit is actually one of the conductors inside the included length of grey duplex cable. This grey cable is also offered by itself as part # 10-2-1, sold by the foot. When doing a hardwired brake controller installation of a unit like the Prodigy P2 # 90885 some extra wire from inside this cable is used to make the 12V power connection to the controller through the included 40-amp circuit breaker.
You can also use other 10-gauge wire for this power feed if you like.
