Tekonsha Prodigy Electronic Brake Cable Replacement for Damaged One Dragging on Road
Question:
I have a new RV with a Prodigy TK94FR brake control unit. On our first trip out, the cable to the auxillary power port on the vehicle came loose and fell to where it was brushing the road as we drove. The cable was abraded in half before we realized it at our next stop. Can this cable be replaced by the user? Or the factory? It is possible that I could put a new connector plug on the severed end since only about 2 feet of the cable was severed but I would rather have a new cable.

Easiest solution we can offer for replacing the 7-way and lead of your Prodigy RF part # TK94FR is to hardwire in the part # H20042 in place of the one you lost.
Or you could even cut the loom on both side of what you have, strip back the wiring, and then butt end connect all of the connections. For a set of ten butt connectors you'd then want the part # DW05745-10.
