How To Install a Trailer Brake Controller On a 2021 Honda Ridgeline

Question

Question:

I bought a 2021 Honda Ridgeline. I would like to install a brake controller for a R-Pod trailer. I only have the pigtail that Honda provided. I would like to see what you offer and how easy/hard it is to install on my own? I would also like to know if there are additional fuses I would need and where they would be installed. Thanks

It's very easy to install a trailer brake controller on a 2021 Honda Ridgeline. I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90195 which comes with a harness that you could simply attach to the one that came with the vehicle. If you don't want to join any wires whatsoever then you can get the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers part # 3070-P for a complete plug-in-play install. There should be no other steps needed like fuses etc.
