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.
Yes, the T-One T-Connector is designed for Ford Transit vehicles. The installation instructions are specific to this application and include taillight connector integration on both driver and passenger sides.
The kit includes: the T-One T-Connector with yellow and green wire ends, a 4-flat connector, a black box module, a 15 amp fuse holder with fuse, yellow butt connectors, a white eyelet and screw for grounding, double-sided tape for module mounting, and cable ties for harness securing. A bracket or electrical box for the 4-flat connector is not included.
Required tools are: trim panel remover, drill with 3/32" bit, Phillips head screwdriver, test probe, and flat screwdriver. A 15mm socket or wrench is also needed to remove the nut from the positive battery post (Option 1 in step 7).
The manual provides two options in step 7. Option 1 allows you to access the positive battery post without disconnecting the battery. Option 2 requires disconnecting the vehicle's negative (-) battery cable. You may choose either approach, though Option 2 is safer for electrical work.
On the driver's side, locate the vehicle's taillight wiring harness connector. Insert the T-One T-Connector end with the yellow wire between the vehicle wiring connectors and lock into place, ensuring the locking tabs are fully engaged (step 3). Repeat this process on the passenger's side using the T-One T-Connector end with the green wire (step 5). Ensure all connector surfaces are clean and free of dirt before connecting.
Yes, one 3/32" hole must be drilled on the driver's side near the taillight connectors to secure the white ground wire with an eyelet and screw (step 6). Before drilling, verify what is behind the surface to avoid damage to the vehicle or personal injury. Do not drill into any exposed surfaces.
The T-One T-Connector uses a 15 amp fuse. The fuse is installed into the fuse holder after the black 12 gauge power wire is connected to the black box module (step 10). The fuse holder is provided with the kit.
In step 7, access the positive (+) 12V battery post using a 15mm socket or wrench to remove the nut. In step 8, 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 gauge wire using the yellow butt connector provided. In step 9, route the black wire from the engine compartment to the rear driver's side and connect it to the black power wire on the T-One T-Connector's black box using another yellow butt connector.
The T-One T-Connector uses four wire colors: yellow wire (driver's side taillight connector), green wire (passenger's side taillight connector and routed under the vehicle), black wire (12V power from battery to the black box module), and white wire (ground connection to vehicle frame). The 4-flat connector provides the trailer signal output.
Route the harness containing the green wire and 4-flat connector down the opening behind the taillight on the driver's side, then underneath and to the center of the vehicle (step 4). Route the harness containing the green wire underneath the vehicle and up through the opening behind the passenger's side taillight. Route all wires carefully to avoid hot pipes, heat shields, the fuel tank, and any points that may pinch or break the wire.
On the driver's side, mount the black box using the double-sided tape provided (step 11). Mount the module so that the epoxy side is pointed toward the ground to prevent water buildup. Secure the remainder of the harness with the cable ties provided, being careful to avoid areas that would cut or pinch the wire.
Mount the 4-flat connector end in an accessible location using a bracket or electrical box (not included with the kit). The specific location depends on your vehicle and towing setup, but it should be easily accessible for trailer connection.
After installation is complete, test and verify the installation with a test light or by connecting an actual trailer (step 10 warning). For the initial test, reset the vehicle electrical system by temporarily removing the key from the ignition. All connections must be complete for the trailer tow harness to function properly.
Do not exceed the lower of two ratings: the towing manufacturer rating stated in your vehicle owner's manual, or the specific amperage rating stated on the T-One T-Connector product itself. Overloading circuits can cause fires.
Always wear safety glasses and use all safety precautions during installation. Before drilling, verify what is behind any surface to avoid damage to the vehicle or personal injury. Do not drill into exposed surfaces. Route all wires carefully to avoid hot pipes, heat shields, the fuel tank, and pinch points. Read and follow all warnings and instructions printed on the tow vehicle's battery.
Yes, you must remove the taillights on both the driver and passenger sides of the vehicle (step 1). Open the rear door, remove the screws, and carefully pull the taillight away from the vehicle, being careful not to damage the alignment pins. After installation, reinstall the taillight housing assemblies, positioning the vehicle wiring harness between the housing and the vehicle body (step 12).
The T-One T-Connector is designed for Ford Transit vehicles.
No, the bracket or electrical box for the 4-flat connector is not included and must be purchased separately.
The T-One T-Connector uses a 15 amp fuse, which is provided in the kit.
The manual provides two options: you can access the positive battery post without disconnecting (Option 1), or disconnect the negative battery cable (Option 2). Either approach is acceptable.
The black box is mounted on the driver's side using double-sided tape provided, with the epoxy side pointed toward the ground to prevent water buildup.
First, verify that all connections are complete, as incomplete connections will prevent the trailer tow harness from functioning properly. Reset the vehicle electrical system by temporarily removing the key from the ignition. Test the installation with a test light or by connecting a trailer. Check that the 15 amp fuse is properly installed in the fuse holder, the black power wire is securely connected to the black box module, and both the yellow and green connector ends are fully inserted into the taillight connectors with locking tabs engaged.
The module must be mounted with the epoxy side pointed toward the ground to prevent water buildup. If water is accumulating, remount the module using the double-sided tape provided, ensuring the epoxy side faces downward.
Ensure that all connector surfaces are clean and free of dirt before connecting (step 2). Carefully insert the T-One connector ends between the vehicle wiring connectors and lock into place, being careful not to damage the locking tabs. Ensure connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place (step 3). If the connectors still do not fully insert, check that you are using the correct connector end (yellow for driver's side, green for passenger's side) and that the locking tabs are not bent or damaged.
