The Pro Series Pilot trailer brake controller is a great option for those who tow light loads at all hours of the day and night, in all types of weather. Its dark, smokey lens makes it ideal for direct light applications, creating optimum visibility to read the large, two-digit display. The Pilot brake controller kit is a time-based controller that works by electronically connecting your vehicle and your trailer. When you hit the brakes in your tow vehicle, it generates an output signal that ramps up, or increases over a period of time, applying braking power to your trailer at a fixed rate. Its large, easy-to-read dual digit display shows power output and the aggressiveness with which the controller applies the brakes. The Pilot also has manual override to help you brake safely when an unexpected stop pops up. It features advanced internal circuit protection, real time diagnostics, short circuit protection, and loss of ground. Because the Pilot is time-based, it can be mounted in any direction. Plus, the Plug & Play feature allows for quick and easy connection with your vehicle’s wiring. The Pilot trailer brake controller works with 1-3 axle trailers, comes with all the mounting hardware needed for installation, and is backed by a limited 1-year warranty.

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 2017-2026 Chrysler Pacifica w/Factory 7-Way Pilot Trailer Time?Delay Brake Controller for Trailers with 1?3 Axles 80550 (Part #80550 70380) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
The 3082-037 adapter is designed for Jeep Wagoneer, Grand Wagoneer, Chrysler Pacifica with Factory 7-way, Chrysler Voyager with Factory 7-way, Durango with Factory Tow, and Jeep Grand Cherokee WK (all styles). If your vehicle is not on this list, this adapter is not compatible.
The 3082-037 is a wiring adapter that connects an electric trailer brake control unit to your vehicle's factory electric brake control harness. It allows you to integrate an aftermarket or replacement brake control with your vehicle's existing electrical system.
You will need a trim panel remover and wire crimpers. The trim panel remover is used to carefully remove the vehicle trim panel underneath the dash without damaging courtesy lamp wires. Wire crimpers are used to attach butt connectors to the adapter wires.
The manual does not specify whether butt connectors are included. The installation instructions state that you must use butt connectors to attach the adapter wires to the electric brake control wires, but it does not confirm whether they are supplied. Contact the manufacturer or check your package contents to confirm.
The electric brake control harness connector is located underneath the dash and to the left of the steering column. It is taped to another harness near the emergency brake pedal. You will be looking for a 4-pin connector that matches the one on the adapter.
Yes, but only for Chrysler Pacifica, Chrysler Voyager, Durango, and Jeep Grand Cherokee WK. For Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer, the connector is accessible without trim panel removal. When removing the trim panel, carefully avoid pulling on the courtesy lamp wires that are attached to it.
First, plug the brake control adapter into the mating receptacle on the backside of the brake control unit itself. Only after this is complete should you attach the adapter to the vehicle's electric brake control connector. This sequence prevents accidental damage or incorrect connections.
Yes. The adapter installation is only part of the complete setup. You must also follow the electric brake control manufacturer's installation instructions for mounting the unit and performing test procedures. The adapter simply provides the connection interface between your vehicle and the brake control unit.
The maximum rating is 24 amps, which supports a maximum of 4 axles and 8 brakes. You must not exceed the lower of your towing manufacturer's rating (as stated in your vehicle owner's manual) or this 24 amp limit. Overloading the circuit can cause fires.
Always wear safety glasses during installation. Read and follow all warnings and instructions included with the adapter and your brake control unit before beginning. Read all warnings and instructions printed on your vehicle's battery. Consult your vehicle owner's manual for additional information. Do not pull on courtesy lamp wires when removing trim panels.
Only if your vehicle is not equipped with an OEM trailer tow package. Vehicles without the factory tow package may require fuses and relays to complete the output and battery feed circuits. These are sold separately. Consult your vehicle owner's manual for the correct locations and specifications.
