Installing the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 in a 2011 Dodge Durango

Yes, the Prodigy P3 # 90195 is compatible with your 2011 Dodge Durango. Since brake controllers are not vehicle specific it is just a matter of determining if you need any special wiring to make the installation easier.

If your Durango came with the factory trailer connector then you can use the Plug-In Adapter # TK93VR for a quick installation (see attached video).

If your Durango did not come with wiring then you will need to install the Tekonsha T-One # 118552 for the basic lighting functions on your trailer. You will then need to install the Universal Wiring Kit # ETBC7 which will plug into your 4-Way and then need some wiring run to your cab for the P3 and your battery to give you a fully functional 7-Way.

For your P3 to then activate the brakes you will need to splice in the included pigtail from the P3 to the following functions:

Blue - Brake Controller pin on 7-Way
Black - Battery for power
White - Ground
Red - COLD Side of Stop Light Switch (only gets hot when brake pedal is pressed)

I have attached a video of the ETBC7 being installed on a 2007 Durango that you can use as a reference. This video also includes the installation of the Prodigy P2 # 90885 which will install the exact same way as the P3.

The color wiring in the video for the Stop Light Switch may not be the same on your 2011 Durango so it is best to verify wire functions using a Circuit Tester # PTW2992.

I have also attached a helpful article on installing the ETBC7 kit and a brake controller from scratch if that is what you are needing to do.
