Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 2004 Ford F-250 Super Duty- Video

Today on this 2004 Ford F-250 Super Duty we're going to show you the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller, part number 90195. To help us with our install of our brake controller we're also going to use a Tekonsha Plugin Wiring Adapter, part number 3035-P, this part is designed to work with the factory tow package port underneath the dash of your vehicle. This is what the P3 Brake Controller looks like once installed in typical application in our truck. With this part number you get obviously the brake controller and the bracket to hold it up into place. This style brake controller is a proportional brake controller which means it automatically adjusts the trailer's braking based on deceleration of the tow vehicle and total amount of power is set by the user. We have ours relatively flat, but this also has automatic leveling built inside of it and in fact you can mount it in a vertical position, or flat, or anywhere in between. more

Today on our 2004 Ford F250, we'll be installing the Curt Venture trailer brake controller for 1 to 3 axles and the time delay, part #C51110. We'll also be using the Curt custom wiring adapter for trailer brake controllers with the dual plug in, part #C%1322. Now we'll go ahead and go through a few of the functions of the Curt Venture trailer brake controller has. There is a manual override which is a slide on the front of the brake controller and a knob on the back left side is your sync adjustment which allows you to adjust how aggresively the brakes come on when activated. As you can see here when you slide the manual override and you adjust the sync setting it goes from 1 to 8 bars. Now we'll go ahead and begin our install. To begin with, we need to go ahead and remove this panel right here underneath the steering wheel. To remove the panel here, we'll turn the four mounting locations about 90 degrees and they will pop out. more

We'll begin here by removing this cover right here. To do this, there's four little tabs that we'll twist and they'll pop out, and then we'll be able to remove the whole cover.

Now we'll go ahead and route our plug up from the underside here, and we'll go ahead and line it up with our gray factory plug. Once we're lined up, we'll go ahead and firmly push it in place, making sure that the little locking tab on the side here secures on the locking edge. more
