Hi there Ram owners. Today in your 2006 Ram 1500, we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install Tekonsha's Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller.Our customer has recently been hauling his Winnebago here, and you can see this big old trailer, and this is what he's been using to haul it here, this old impulse brake controller. He's been having a lot of issues with the brakes applying too hard, they're just abrupt, this is an old time-delay model. He just doesn't like the way it feels. He gets a lot of issues with the way it porpoises from applying a little bit too hard, especially just going around parking lots and things like that, it's even more noticeable.So we're going to get this old nasty wiring he's got and get this guy out of here, and get him something a little more modern that's going to smooth out his towing experience.Tekonsha's Prodigy P3 Brake Controller is a premium brake controller that has pretty much every option that you would want.

Everybody, it's Rob here at etrailer.com. Today, we'll be taking a look at the PrimusIQ Proportional Brake Controller by Tekonsha on our 2018 Dodge Grand Caravan. Now, whenever you're looking for a brake controller for your Caravan, obviously you're wanting to pull a trailer that has electric brakes on it. Now, our PrimusIQ, I like it because it's a proportional style brake controller. Now, what that means is, is that it's going to apply the brakes to our trailer at the same time and intensity that we apply the brakes in our caravan, opposed to the traditional style or older style brake controllers that we're a time delay. They had a preset amount of time that it would wait and it would apply the brakes to whatever setting you had. more

If we're going through traffic in the every day slowing down a little bit, the speed not slowing down, a gentle press on our brakes here are only going to activate that controller or will activate that controller at a slower, more smooth, and more comfortable rate. It's fully adjustable here on the top for our output. We can go all the way up to 9.9 and all the way down to 0.6 for our output going to our rear trailer. more

Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 2006 Dodge Sprinter

Today on our 2006 Dodge Sprinter van, we'll be installing the TrailerMate X10 Trailer Brake Controller for the 1 to 4 axle in a proportional style, part number TM75813. To begin with, we will need to find a suitable location to mount the brake controller inside the vehicle on the driver's side. We first began by checking to make sure that there was nothing behind the dash that would be interfered with if we drilled through to mount the bracket. You want to make sure that you mount the brake controller in a convenient location but yet it's easily accessible to the driver while they are still driving. In this particular vehicle, there was not a good place on the right-hand side of the steering wheel to mount the brake controller, so we had to go ahead and mount it on the left-hand side on the lower dash. With that done, we'll go ahead and take the 4 screws and mount the actual brake controller to the bracket. A tech tip for this particular brake controller, the screen can be a little difficult to read. more
