Parts Needed to Add a Fully Functioning 7-Way on a 2007 Chrysler Aspen
Question:
I have a 2007 Chrysler Aspen without the trailer towing package. I have a Class 3 hitch, but need to get a 7-way for my trailer with brakes. I have a Tecumseh brake controller from another vehicle. Im not finding the proper kit on your site.

To add a fully functioning 7-Way to your 2007 Chrysler Aspen, which will allow you to use your Tekonsha brake controller, you first need a 4-Way flat. If you do not already have one then I recommend installing the Tekonsha T-One # 118390 which T's into the existing wiring on your Aspen. Once installed, this kit will draw power from your battery which prevents the wiring on your trailer from affecting the wiring on your Aspen.
Once you have a 4-Way installed you need to install the Universal Wiring Kit # ETBC7. This includes all of the wiring and parts needed for the 7-Way to be fully functional. I have attached an installation video of this kit being installed on a 2008 Aspen along with the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 # 90885 brake controller. No matter what Tekonsha brake controller you have it will install the exact same way so this video demonstrates exactly what you need to do.
I have attached a few helpful articles for you to reference as well.
