Tekonsha is a leading manufacturer of electronic trailer brake controllers, pioneering the category in the 1970s. The lineup spans proportional units such as the Prodigy P3 and Prodigy iD, time-delayed controllers, the wireless Prodigy RF, plus vehicle-specific wiring harnesses, adapters and trailer brake components engineered for smooth, predictable stopping at any speed.
Tekonsha Engineering Company began in 1964 building RV steps and mirrors. Within a few years it had found its real calling, and by the 1970s Tekonsha was pioneering the manufacture of electronic trailer brake controllers, the product category that still defines the brand. More than half a century later it remains the reference name in trailer braking and is part of the Horizon Global group alongside Reese, Draw-Tite, Fulton, Bulldog and Wesbar.
A brake controller is the component that tells a trailer's electric brakes how hard to work and when, and getting that right is the difference between a controlled stop and a shove from behind. Tekonsha builds both major types. Proportional controllers use an internal accelerometer to sense how quickly the tow vehicle is slowing and apply trailer braking to match, so light braking stays light and hard braking is immediate. Time-delayed controllers ramp to a preset output over a fixed interval, a simpler and more economical approach that suits occasional towing.
The current brake controller range covers most of that ground. The Prodigy iD pairs with a phone through Tekonsha's EDGE technology for setup and monitoring, the P3 offers storable settings for multiple trailers and a trilingual colour LED display, the Prodigy P2 adds a dimmable display and boost mode for heavier loads, and the Voyager keeps operation simple and dependable. The Prodigy RF mounts to the trailer itself and controls wirelessly, which suits rental fleets and drivers who swap tow vehicles.
Installation is supported by vehicle-specific brake control harnesses that plug into a factory connector rather than requiring cut-and-splice wiring, along with mounting brackets and adapters. Matched controller bundles pair a unit with the correct harness. Products are tested to meet and often exceed published industry standards.

The T-Connector is a taillight wiring integration harness that allows you to connect trailer lighting to your vehicle's factory taillight system. It uses T-shaped connectors to tap into the vehicle's existing taillight wiring (yellow, brown, and green wires for stop/turn and tail lights) and routes power through a converter box to a 4-flat trailer connector, which is stored in the driver-side storage compartment when not in use.
The manual does not specify vehicle make, model, year, bed length, or cab style. Contact the manufacturer or your retailer to confirm fitment for your specific vehicle before purchasing.
You will need: a trim panel remover, a Phillips head screwdriver, a drill with a 3/32" drill bit, a 10 mm wrench, and a 12 mm wrench.
The T-Connector kit includes: T-shaped connectors with yellow, brown, and green wires; a black converter box; a white wire with eyelet and screw for grounding; a 12 ga. black power wire; a yellow fuse holder with a 10 amp fuse; a yellow butt connector; cable ties; and double-sided tape for mounting the converter box.
Yes. You must disconnect the vehicle's negative (-) battery cable before connecting the power wire to the positive (+) battery terminal. Reconnect the negative cable only after the fuse holder is fully connected and the 10 amp fuse is installed.
You must temporarily remove the rear threshold plate, privacy screen, storage covers, and floor covering. You also need to partially remove the rear interior trim panels on both the driver and passenger sides of the vehicle to access the taillight wiring harness. Set all items aside carefully to avoid damage.
Locate the taillight wiring harness that has a connection point on the rear of the taillight assembly. The manual notes that there are several similar connection points in the rear of the vehicle, so verify you are connecting to the correct harness before separating the connector. Ensure all connector surfaces are clean and free of dirt before connecting.
On the driver's side, attach each end of the T-Connectors containing the yellow and brown wires to the separated taillight connector. Ensure the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. Then route the T-Connector containing the green wire below the threshold cover to the passenger's side taillight housing and repeat the connection process using the T-Connector ends with the green wire.
Mount the black converter box on the driver's side of the vehicle in a flat, out-of-the-way location using the double-sided tape provided. The box should be positioned so it does not interfere with vehicle operation or interior access.
Yes. You must drill a 3/32" hole to secure the white ground wire. Before drilling, verify what is behind the surface to avoid damage to the vehicle or personal injury. Do not drill into the vehicle floor, bed, or any exposed surfaces. The hole should be drilled at a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as the vehicle's frame or crossmember.
The drill bit size is 3/32".
Drill the 3/32" hole at a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as the vehicle's frame or crossmember. Do not drill into the vehicle floor or bed. Clean dirt and rustproofing from the area before drilling.
The T-Connector uses four wire colors: yellow (stop/turn light), brown (stop/turn light), green (tail light), and white (ground). The yellow and brown wires connect to the driver's side taillight harness, the green wire routes to the passenger's side taillight harness, and the white wire is grounded to the vehicle frame or crossmember.
Locate the red 12 ga. power wire from the T-Connector box on the driver's side. Attach the black 12 ga. wire provided to this red wire. Route the black wire either through a grommet and along the exterior frame, or follow existing wiring along the thresholds into the engine compartment up to the battery. Disconnect the vehicle's negative battery cable, cut the fuse holder wire, attach the ring terminal to the vehicle's positive (+) battery cable, and connect the other end of the fuse holder to the black 12 ga. wire using the yellow butt connector provided.
The fuse rating is 10 amps. The fuse is installed in the yellow fuse holder provided with the kit.
The power wire is 12 ga. (12 gauge). This includes both the red power wire from the T-Connector box and the black wire that connects to the vehicle battery.
You have two options: (1) route the black wire through a grommet and along the exterior frame, or (2) follow the existing wiring along the thresholds into the engine compartment up to the battery. Either way, avoid areas that may pinch or break the wire. If routing through a grommet and along the exterior, be careful to avoid hot pipes, heat shields, the fuel tank, or any other points that may pinch or break the wire.
The 4-flat connector is routed through the driver's side trim panel into the side storage compartment and stored there when not in use. When in use, pull the 4-flat through the door and close the door carefully to avoid pinching the harness in the door latch.
Do not exceed the lower of your towing manufacturer's rating or: maximum 1 stop/turn light per side at 2.1 amps each, or maximum tail lights at 4.2 amps total. Overloading the circuit can cause fires.
Wear safety glasses during installation. Before drilling, verify what is behind any surface to avoid damage to the vehicle or personal injury. Do not drill into the vehicle floor, bed, or exposed surfaces. When routing the power wire, avoid hot pipes, heat shields, and the fuel tank. Be careful not to pinch the harness in the door latch. Ensure all connections are complete and properly secured before testing. Do not exceed the circuit capacity to avoid fire risk.
After installation is complete, test and verify the installation with a test light or by connecting an actual trailer. All connections must be complete for the T-Connector to function properly. Ensure the 10 amp fuse is installed in the fuse holder and the vehicle's negative battery cable is reconnected.
After reinstalling the plastic trim panels, threshold, storage covers, floor covering, and other items removed during installation, verify that no wires have been pinched or cut. Ensure the 4-flat connector is properly routed through the driver's side trim panel into the storage compartment and that the door closes without pinching the harness.
The manual does not specify vehicle compatibility. Contact the manufacturer or retailer with your vehicle's make, model, and year to confirm fitment before purchasing.
Yes, disconnect the negative battery cable before connecting the power wire to the positive terminal. Reconnect only after the fuse holder is fully connected and the 10 amp fuse is installed.
The fuse rating is 10 amps, installed in the yellow fuse holder provided.
The manual states that all connections must be complete for the T-Connector to function properly. Verify: (1) the T-Connectors are fully inserted into the taillight harness with locking tabs in place, (2) the ground wire is securely attached to the vehicle frame or crossmember, (3) the power wire is properly connected to the vehicle's positive battery terminal through the fuse holder, (4) the 10 amp fuse is installed in the fuse holder, (5) the negative battery cable is reconnected, and (6) all connector surfaces are clean and free of dirt. Test with a test light or trailer to verify proper operation.
The BRAKE mate is a trailer brake control system that allows you to control trailer brakes from your vehicle. It connects to your vehicle's electrical system and includes a brake control unit that mounts under the dash, circuit breakers for power management, and a prewired connector that attaches to your trailer.
The manual does not specify which vehicle makes, models, or years are compatible with the BRAKE mate. Contact Cequent Towing Products technical service at (888) 521-0510 or consult a fitment database to confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle.
Yes. Step 4 of the installation instructions requires connecting the 4-pole flat connector to the vehicle's connector, which means your vehicle must already have a 4-pole flat connector. If your vehicle does not have one, the BRAKE mate cannot be installed using these instructions.
The kit includes: 1 prewired connector, 1 heavy duty flasher, 1 20 amp circuit breaker, 1 40 amp circuit breaker, 5 #10 G-ring connectors, 2 3/8" G-ring connectors, 5 Scotch locks, 8 self-tapping screws, and 6 wire tie straps.
The manual does not specify required tools. However, based on the installation steps, you will likely need a drill (to create a firewall hole if one does not exist), wire strippers, a screwdriver (for self-tapping screws), and possibly a crimper or pliers for ring connectors. Contact technical service at (888) 521-0510 for a complete tool list.
The manual does not specify whether the battery must be disconnected before installation. Contact Cequent Towing Products technical service at (888) 521-0510 for safety guidance before beginning work.
Mount the bracket for the round connector on the bumper if that is where you intend to install it. Some hitches have built-in brackets, so check your hitch first before mounting a separate bracket.
Mount the brake control unit under the dash onto something firm. The unit must be securely fastened to a solid surface.
Mount the 2 circuit breakers (20 amp and 40 amp) end to end on the firewall within reach of the BLUE/BLACK cable. Secure them with the self-tapping screws supplied in the kit.
You may need to drill a hole through the firewall to run the BLUE/BLACK 2-strand wire from the engine bay into the cab. Look for an existing spot first; if none is available, drill a hole and seal it with a rubber grommet or silicone to prevent water and debris from entering the cab.
Some hitch brackets may need to be cut to allow the various connectors to pass through. Check your specific hitch bracket during installation; if it blocks connector passage, you will need to cut it.
Yes. In step 9, you must cut the black wire to create two open ends. These ends are then fitted with ring connectors and attached to the 40 amp and 20 amp circuit breakers respectively.
WHITE = ground wire; BLUE/BLACK = 2-strand power and trailer brake wire (runs from rear connector to front of vehicle and through firewall); RED = power wire from brake control unit; BLUE = trailer brake wire from brake control unit; GREEN = wire from brake control unit to brake switch.
Connect the WHITE ground wire to the frame of the vehicle. This provides the ground connection for the system.
Run the BLUE/BLACK 2-strand wire along the frame rail to the front of the vehicle, avoiding the exhaust, axles, and brake cables. Secure it with the plastic tie straps supplied. Then run it up the firewall, avoiding the steering mechanism, and secure it with ties.
Split the BLUE/BLACK 2-strand wire down the middle. Connect the RED (power) wire of the brake control unit to the BLACK wire using a Scotch lock. Connect the BLUE (trailer brake) wire of the brake control unit to the BLUE wire using a Scotch lock. Connect the WHITE wire of the brake control unit to the ground on the vehicle body. Connect the GREEN wire of the brake control unit to the inactive side of the brake switch.
Run a heavy gauge wire from the battery or equivalent power source to the battery side of either circuit breaker. Attach a #10 G-ring connector to one end of the wire. Then split a wire off this main wire to the 20 amp breaker using a Scotch lock and attach a #10 G-ring connector to the end of this wire. Alternatively, you can run a jumper between the two breakers.
The circuit breakers protect the electrical system. The 40 amp breaker is connected to the auxiliary side of the wire going to the rear connector. The 20 amp breaker is connected to the auxiliary side of the wire going through the firewall to the brake control unit.
The heavy duty flasher is a replacement turn signal flasher. If your turn signals blink too fast after installation, replace your vehicle's original turn signal flasher with the one supplied in the kit.
After attaching the round connector with self-tapping screws, test the connector for: running lights, brake lights, turn signals, and hot wire (power). Note that the brake control output cannot be tested unless a trailer is connected to the connector.
If the turn signals are blinking too fast after installation, replace the turn signal flasher with the heavy duty flasher supplied in the BRAKE mate kit.
After drilling a hole through the firewall to run the BLUE/BLACK wire into the cab, seal the hole with a rubber grommet or silicone to prevent water and debris from entering the vehicle.
When running the BLUE/BLACK 2-strand wire along the frame rail and up the firewall, avoid the exhaust, axles, brake cables, and steering mechanism. These components can damage the wire or be damaged by it. Secure the wire with the supplied plastic tie straps.
Your vehicle must have a 4-pole flat connector. Contact Cequent Towing Products at (888) 521-0510 or check a fitment database to confirm compatibility with your specific make, model, and year.
The kit includes a prewired connector, brake control unit, 20 amp and 40 amp circuit breakers, 5 #10 G-ring connectors, 2 3/8" G-ring connectors, 5 Scotch locks, 8 self-tapping screws, 6 wire tie straps, and a heavy duty flasher.
You may need to drill a hole through the firewall to run the brake wire into the cab if an existing hole is not available. The hole must be sealed with a rubber grommet or silicone.
Connect WHITE (ground) to frame, RED (power) to BLACK wire, BLUE (trailer brake) to BLUE wire, GREEN to brake switch, and run BLUE/BLACK from rear connector through firewall to brake control unit.
Test for running lights, brake lights, turn signals, and hot wire (power). Brake control output cannot be tested without a trailer connected. If turn signals blink too fast, replace the flasher with the one supplied.
Avoid routing the BLUE/BLACK wire near the exhaust, axles, brake cables, or steering mechanism. Secure all wires with the supplied plastic tie straps.
