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 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.
The T-Connector is a trailer wiring adapter for the Chrysler 300 that allows you to connect a trailer to your vehicle's electrical system. It interfaces with your vehicle's taillight wiring harness and provides a connection point for trailer lights. The product includes a black box module, wiring harness with color-coded connectors (green, yellow, and white wires), a 4-flat connector for storage in the trunk when not in use, and all necessary hardware for installation.
Yes, this T-Connector is designed for the Chrysler 300. The installation instructions are specific to this vehicle model. If you have a different vehicle model or year, you should verify compatibility before purchasing, as the manual does not address other applications.
If your vehicle has an optional subwoofer unit on the passenger side, the cargo clip will not be present and the access panel will not be accessible unless you remove the subwoofer unit first. To remove it, use a Torx 30 driver to remove the one bolt holding the subwoofer unit in place. After removal, you can proceed with the T-Connector installation.
You will need: trim panel remover, 10 mm socket and ratchet or 10 mm wrench, drill with 3/32" drill bit, 1/4" socket, wire crimpers, wire cutters, Phillips head screwdriver, test probe, and Torx-15 driver. You will also need a Torx 30 driver if your vehicle has an optional subwoofer unit that needs to be removed.
The T-Connector package includes: a black box module, T-Connector harness with color-coded wires (green, yellow, and white), a 4-flat connector for storage, cable ties, double-sided tape, yellow butt connectors, a yellow fuse holder with a 15 amp fuse, a ring terminal, an eyelet, and a screw for grounding. All fasteners and connectors needed for installation are provided.
Yes. You must disconnect the vehicle's negative (-) battery cable before connecting the power wiring to the positive (+) battery terminal. After you have completed the power connections and installed the 15 amp fuse, you reconnect the negative battery cable. This is a critical safety step to prevent electrical shock and short circuits.
The battery is located inside the vehicle's trunk. You will access it from inside the trunk when connecting the black 12 gauge wire and the black wire from the T-Connector black box.
1. Open trunk and remove threshold panel; partially remove corner felt trunk liner on both sides to expose taillight wiring harness. Remove two Torx-25 screws and cargo loops. 2. Separate vehicle's wiring connectors on passenger side and attach T-Connector with green wire. 3. Route yellow wire connector down threshold to driver side and repeat connection. 4. Drill 3/32" hole for grounding point on driver's side and secure white wire with eyelet. 5. Connect black 12 gauge wire and black T-Connector wire to battery with yellow butt connector. 6. Disconnect negative battery cable, remove fuse from yellow fuse holder, cut fuse holder wire, attach ring terminal to positive battery cable, and connect fuse holder to black 12 gauge wire. 7. Reconnect negative battery cable and install 15 amp fuse. 8. Mount black box under trunk threshold with double-sided tape. 9. Secure harness with cable ties. 10. Replace carpet and panels.
Beginning on the passenger side, separate the vehicle's wiring connectors carefully without breaking the locking tabs. You will find connection points that match the ends of the T-Connector adapter. Ensure all connector surfaces are clean and free of dirt. Attach each end to the T-Connector containing the green wire, making sure connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. Then route the connector containing the yellow wire down the threshold to the driver side and repeat the connection process.
Yes, drilling is required. You must drill a 3/32" hole on the driver's side near the connectors to create a grounding point for the white wire. The white wire is then secured to this hole using an eyelet and the screw provided. Before drilling, verify what is behind the surface to avoid damage to the vehicle or personal injury, and do not drill into any exposed surfaces.
You need a 3/32" drill bit to create the grounding hole on the driver's side near the connectors.
The T-Connector uses a 15 amp fuse. This fuse is installed in the yellow fuse holder that is provided with the product and must be installed in step 7 after all other connections are complete.
The T-Connector uses a black 12 gauge (12 ga.) wire for the battery connection. This wire connects from the vehicle's battery to the black wire from the T-Connector black box using a yellow butt connector.
The T-Connector harness uses color-coded wires: green wire connects to the passenger-side taillight connector, yellow wire connects to the driver-side taillight connector, white wire is the ground connection (secured with an eyelet to a drilled hole on the driver's side), and black wires connect to the vehicle's battery (12 gauge wire from the battery and black wire from the T-Connector black box).
From inside the trunk, connect the black 12 gauge wire and the black wire from the T-Connector black box to the vehicle's battery using the supplied yellow butt connector. Then disconnect the vehicle's negative (-) battery cable. Remove the fuse from the yellow fuse holder (if not already removed), cut the fuse holder wire, attach the ring terminal, and secure it to the vehicle's positive (+) battery cable. Connect the other end of the fuse holder to the black 12 gauge wire using the yellow butt connector. Finally, reconnect the negative battery cable and install the 15 amp fuse into the fuse holder.
Mount the T-Connector black box near the center of the vehicle, below the trunk threshold. First, clean a flat area using a mixture of rubbing alcohol and water, then mount the black box using the double-sided tape provided.
Route the T-Connector harness carefully through the vehicle, pushing wiring between the vehicle body and carpet where applicable. Secure the remainder of the harness with the cable ties provided, being careful to avoid any areas that would pinch, cut, or melt the wire. Ensure wires are not pinched or cut when replacing carpet and other panels.
Always wear safety glasses during installation. Before drilling, verify what is behind any surface to avoid damage to the vehicle and personal injury. Do not drill into exposed surfaces. Read and follow all warnings and cautions printed on the tow vehicle's battery. Disconnect the negative battery cable before making power connections. Do not exceed the stated product ratings or the towing manufacturer rating, as overloading circuits can cause fires.
All connections must be complete for the T-Connector to function properly. Test and verify the installation with a test light or trailer once installed. For the initial test, reset the vehicle's electrical system by temporarily removing the key from the ignition. This ensures all connections are working correctly before using the T-Connector with a trailer.
Store the 4-flat connector in the trunk area when the T-Connector is not in use. This protects the connector from damage and keeps it readily accessible for when you need to connect a trailer.
The manual does not specify the maximum amperage rating for the T-Connector itself. However, the product uses a 15 amp fuse, and you must not exceed the lower of either the towing manufacturer's rating (including in your vehicle owner's manual) or the specific amperage ratings stated on the product. Refer to the product labeling and your vehicle's owner's manual for the exact amperage rating.
Yes, the T-Connector is designed specifically for the Chrysler 300. If you have an optional subwoofer unit on the passenger side, you will need to remove it first to access the installation area.
