Product Details

Universal Primus™ Electronic Proportional Brake Control by Tekonsha®. Unlike timed brake controls that deliver the same power under all braking conditions, Brake Controls use Proportional Technology that senses the type of braking event, and applies appropriate power to the trailer brakes.

Installation

State laws vary: you may very well legally tow a trailer weighing as much as 10,000 lbs without trailer brakes in some states. Frankly, that's a terrible idea, regardless of the legality. Other states have laws that require brakes on a trailer weighing only 1,000 lbs. If your trailer has electric brakes installed, the smartest, safest path is to make them operational. For that, you'll need a trailer brake controller. This black box either gradually applies the trailer brakes as you slow down, or actually senses the deceleration rate and proportionally increases the braking action. On most modern tow-rated vehicles, it's an easy wiring job, calling for nothing more than plugging into the wiring harness underdash and near the hitch.

Play safe, and avoid equipment tickets and, oh yeah, accidents, by installing a brake control system.

No As Simple
This controller only works PROVIDING! that your 7 way bargman plug coming off the tow vehicle is setup for a brake controller. I currently run a Jeep, installed the 7 way plug to a 4 way plug off the tow vehicle. I need to have at least 12 volts running to the controller for the module to work. So, I'm stuck with a $300 door stop. Not sure how to proceed.

So Easy
This made installing my brake controller so easy! It took only about 10 minutes with this plug and saved me over $60.00. I called around to different garages and they wanted any where from $60.00 to $180.00 to install my brake controller. With this plug I was able to do it myself and from start to finish I'm sure it was no more than 10 minutes.

Tekonsha® 90885 Brake Controller
I purchased this to use in my 2015 4Runner. I works flawlessly. Installation was a snap. I also purchased the 4Runner specific Tekonsha® 3040 2-Plug Brake Control Wiring Adapter. The hardest past of this was deciding where to mount the Controller. I decided on screwing it (screws provided) to the bottom of the dash nearly under the steering column. There is a bit of a return in the molder plastic that's about 3/4" wide. I mounted the "U" shaped bracket (included) at that point and installed the controller. I can easily reach the manual lever if need be. I can't easily see the controller's digital readout however, once set, there's no need. I was concerned I would hit it with my foot getting in and out but not once have I even been careful and have never bumped it in that location. Set up was easy with clear instructions.

Tekonsha® 3040 Brake Control Wire Adpt.
I purchased this adapter to ease my installation of the Tekonsha® 90885 Prodigy™ P2 Electronic Brake Control. Not wanting to cut and splice wires in my new 4Runner, I was happy to find that CARiD had this in stock. Installation was a snap. Once I found the pre-wired female connector that Toyota puts into their 4Runners now, all I had to do was plug this adapter into my vehicle and plug the other end into the brake controller and I was all set. No cutting, no splicing, plus, everything worked!
