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-One® T-Connector is a trailer lighting harness that provides a 4-way flat connector for towing. It connects to your vehicle's factory 6-pin connector and includes a module with integrated lighting control.
The hardware kit includes: one 15 Amp fuse, double-sided tape, cable ties (8.5"), plastic trim panel removal tools, Phillips screwdriver, safety glasses, and a test light. You will also need to have a trim panel remover tool available.
Yes. You must locate the vehicle's battery, disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable before beginning installation. This is a critical safety step to prevent serious injury and damage to the vehicle's electrical system.
The vehicle's white 6-pin connector is located behind the upper trim panel on the driver's side of the rear interior. You access it by opening the hatch, removing the rear threshold, cargo net and cargo cover, and carefully pulling back the upper trim panel on the driver's side.
Gently pull back the upper trim panel on the driver's side to reveal the vehicle's white 6-pin connector. Insert the T-One® T-Connector harness into the vehicle's white 6-pin housing and lock it in place.
Mount the black box module on a flat surface inside the vehicle that is out of the way, to prevent damage or rattling. Clean the mounting surface with a 50-50 mixture of rubbing alcohol and water before applying the supplied double-sided tape to the flat side of the black box.
On the driver's side, locate the existing ground stud. Loosen the bolt, place the screw eyelet on the stud, and re-tighten the bolt. Ensure all existing ground connections remain attached and torque the existing ground screw to the manufacturer's torque specifications.
The manual states that the existing ground screw must be torqued to the manufacturer's torque specifications, but the specific torque value is not provided in this installation manual. Contact Horizon Global technical support at 800-632-3290 or TechnicalSupport@horizonglobal.com for the exact torque value.
For 2017–2022 models (all styles), locate the interior fuse compartment under the steering column. Remove the fuse compartment cover and lid, then locate fuse location 37. If not already installed, insert the 15 Amp fuse from the included hardware kit. Note: This fuse location is not available on all models.
For 2023 and current models (all styles), locate the interior fuse compartment under the steering column. Remove the fuse compartment cover and lid, then locate fuse location 17. If not already installed, insert the 15 Amp fuse from the included hardware kit. Note: This fuse location is not available on all models.
A 15 Amp fuse is required. This fuse is included in the hardware kit. Do not use a fuse with a higher amperage rating, as replacing a fuse that exceeds the product fuse amperage rating and the vehicle fuse amperage rating could result in damage to the vehicle and other attached accessories.
Secure the remainder of the T-One® T-Connector harness with the cable ties provided. Be careful to avoid any areas that would pinch, cut, or melt the wire. This prevents damage and rattling during vehicle operation.
When the 4-flat harness is not in use, store it in an out-of-the-way area in the rear cargo compartment to prevent damage and tangling.
Always wear safety glasses during installation. Do not touch the negative battery terminal to the positive battery terminal, as serious injury and damage to the vehicle's electrical system can occur. Read and follow all warnings and cautions printed on the vehicle's battery. Ensure all connections are complete before testing. Do not exceed the stated product ratings or the towing manufacturing rating in your vehicle's owner's manual.
If your vehicle is equipped with the Start/Stop option, do not connect the module power wire to the support battery. Connect the module only to the main vehicle battery. Failure to connect to the main vehicle battery may result in damage to the module.
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. All connections must be complete for the T-One® T-Connector to function properly.
Perform a pre-trip inspection of the 4-way flat harness to ensure no damage to terminals and connection points for proper lighting connection and operation. Clean the 4-way flat connector after each use. Clean the connection and add dielectric grease (sold separately) to the terminal pins. Ensure the 4-way flat harness does not get pinched in door latches, trailer connection points, or contact the road surface.
First, ensure the T-One® Connector ends are fully inserted and locked in place. Remove the module's power fuse for 10 seconds and repeat the test. Check chassis grounds and ensure ring terminals are in full contact with the vehicle chassis. If the problem persists, remove the module's power fuse again.
The installation may have activated circuit protection. Start the vehicle and turn off all functions: tail (headlights), brake, and turns. Remove the module's power fuse for 10 seconds and repeat the test. Ensure the fuse is fully inserted into the fuse holder with no breaks. Verify the fuse holder is connected properly to the positive post of the battery. Using a tester or voltmeter, check for voltage on either side of the yellow butt connector near the module. Remove the module power fuse for 10 seconds and repeat the test.

The manual does not describe any drilling as part of the standard installation procedure. The installation involves connecting to the factory 6-pin connector, mounting the module with double-sided tape, and securing the harness with cable ties.
A 15 Amp fuse is required and is included in the hardware kit. Do not exceed this rating.
Connect the module only to the main vehicle battery, not the support battery. Failure to do so may result in damage.
Perform pre-trip inspections of the harness, clean the 4-way flat connector after each use, add dielectric grease to terminal pins, and ensure the harness is not pinched or in contact with the road.
Cause: The T-One® Connector ends may not be fully inserted and locked, or there may be a ground connection issue. Fix: Ensure the connector ends are fully inserted and locked in place. Check that ring terminals are in full contact with the vehicle chassis. Remove the module's power fuse for 10 seconds and repeat the test.
Cause: Circuit protection may have been activated, the fuse may not be fully inserted, the fuse may be broken, or the module may not be connected to B+ (positive battery). Fix: Start the vehicle and turn off all functions (tail, brake, turns). Ensure the fuse is fully inserted with no breaks and is properly connected to the positive battery post. Check for voltage on either side of the yellow butt connector near the module using a tester or voltmeter. Remove the module power fuse for 10 seconds and repeat the test.
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.
