Assuming your Sprinter has the factory tow package with the 7-way at the rear bumper, in addition to the
# RED24FR Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller, you'll also need the # 3063-P wiring harness and the # 331-TPH-017. The connector to install the controller is located under the driver's seat as shown in the provided photo.

If the Sprinter doesn't have the factory 7-way, you can install one using part # TK22115, you'll also need the # 331-TPH-017 adapter mentioned above.

Yes, the Tekonsha 7-way kit part #TK22115 is exactly what you need. It is a 7-way kit designed to fit your 2015 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter that did not have the factory connector. This is what you'd need for a new install that didn't have any…

Answer 12

You can hard-wire in a brake controller, and it seems that there are not a lot of the Sprinter 3500 models that are pre-wired, at least from what I've seen in my research. I have not seen any reports that this isn't possible, and we even have…
