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-One® Connector is a T-shaped wiring harness that integrates a vehicle's taillight wiring with trailer towing circuits. It connects between the vehicle's existing taillight connectors on both the driver and passenger sides, allowing the vehicle's electrical system to control trailer lights. The connector includes a black box-module that houses the integration electronics and must be mounted in a flat, out-of-the-way location to prevent damage or rattling.
The manual does not specify which vehicles are compatible with this connector. The installation instructions show a Hyundai Sonata as an example, but do not state whether the product is universal or model-specific. Before purchasing, contact the manufacturer or check the product fitment database to confirm compatibility with your vehicle. The connector requires accessible taillight wiring harnesses on both driver and passenger sides that match the T-Connector ends.
Required tools are: 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, and test-probe. These tools are needed to remove interior panels, disconnect and reconnect taillight connectors, drill the grounding hole, crimp and cut wires, and test the installation.
The kit includes: two T-Connector ends (one with yellow wire for driver side, one with green wire for passenger side), a black 12 ga. power wire, a white ground wire with eyelet and screw, a yellow fuse holder with 15 amp fuse, a yellow butt connector, cable ties, and a 4-Flat connector for storage in the trunk when not in use.
Yes. You must disconnect the vehicle's negative (−) battery cable before connecting the black 12 ga. power wire to the positive (+) battery terminal. This is a critical safety step to prevent electrical shock or short circuits. After all connections are made, reconnect the negative battery cable and install the 15 amp fuse into the fuse holder.
You must open the trunk, temporarily remove the rear threshold plate, and partially remove the felt trunk liner behind the taillights to access the taillight wiring harnesses on both sides. After installation, all panels, clips, and carpet must be replaced carefully to avoid cutting or pinching the wires.
On the driver side, insert the T-Connector end with the yellow wire between the vehicle's taillight wiring connectors and lock into place, being careful not to damage the locking tabs. Route the T-Connector end with the green wire to the passenger side behind the panels and along the threshold, then plug it between the mating plugs on the passenger side taillight socket and vehicle wiring harness. Ensure all connector surfaces are clean and free of dirt before connecting, and verify that connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place.
Yes, drilling is required. You must drill a single 3/32" hole in a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as the vehicle's frame or crossmember. Do not drill into the vehicle floor or bed. Before drilling, clean dirt and rustproofing from the area and verify what is behind the surface to avoid damage to the vehicle or personal injury. Do not drill into any exposed surfaces. The white ground wire is secured to this hole using the eyelet and screw provided.
Route the black 12 ga. power wire along the exterior frame or follow existing wiring along the thresholds into the engine compartment up to the battery. Avoid areas that may pinch or break the wire. If routing through a grommet and along the exterior of the vehicle, carefully avoid hot pipes, heat shields, the fuel tank, or any other points that may pinch or break the wire. The wire must reach the vehicle's positive (+) battery terminal where it connects via the yellow fuse holder.
The T-One® Connector uses a 15 amp fuse. The fuse is housed in a yellow fuse holder provided with the kit. After disconnecting the vehicle's negative battery cable, attach the ring terminal from the fuse holder to the vehicle's positive (+) battery cable. Connect the other end of the fuse holder to the black 12 ga. power wire using the yellow butt connector provided. After all connections are complete, reconnect the negative battery cable and install the 15 amp fuse into the fuse holder.
The T-Connector uses four wire colours: yellow wire (driver side taillight connection), green wire (passenger side taillight connection), black 12 ga. wire (power from battery), and white wire (ground connection to vehicle frame or crossmember). Each wire has a specific function in the taillight integration circuit.
Mount the black box-module on a flat surface in an out-of-the-way location to prevent damage or rattling. The module should be secured in a place where it will not be disturbed during normal vehicle use or trunk access.
Secure the remainder of the T-Connector harness with the cable ties provided to prevent damage or rattling. Be careful to avoid any areas that would pinch, cut, or melt the wire. After securing the harness, replace all carpet, clips, and panels that were removed during installation, taking care not to cut or pinch the wires.
After installation is complete, test and verify the installation with a test light or trailer. For the initial test, reset the vehicle electrical system by temporarily removing the key from the ignition. All connections must be complete for the T-One® Connector to function properly. If using a test light, probe the trailer connector pins to verify that the correct circuits are active.
The manual states that you must not exceed the lower of the towing manufacturer's rating (including in your vehicle owner's manual) or the specific amperage ratings stated on the product. The connector uses a 15 amp fuse. Overloading circuits can cause fires. Always read the vehicle's owner's manual and the T-Connector instruction sheet for additional information on amperage limits.
Always 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 exposed surfaces. When routing the power wire, avoid hot pipes, heat shields, the fuel tank, and any areas that may pinch or break the wire. Read and follow all warnings printed on the vehicle's battery before connecting to the battery terminals. Disconnect the negative battery cable before connecting to the positive terminal.
Store the 4-Flat connector in the trunk area when not in use. This protects it from damage and keeps it accessible for future use.
The manual does not specify which vehicles are compatible. Contact the manufacturer or check a fitment database with your vehicle's year, make, and model. The connector requires accessible taillight wiring harnesses on both driver and passenger sides.
You need: trim panel remover, 10 mm socket/ratchet or wrench, drill with 3/32" bit, 1/4" socket, wire crimpers, wire cutters, Phillips screwdriver, and test-probe.
Yes, you must disconnect the negative battery cable before connecting the power wire to the positive battery terminal. Reconnect it after all connections are complete and the fuse is installed.
Yes, you must drill one 3/32" hole in the vehicle's frame or crossmember for the ground wire. Do not drill into the floor or bed. Always verify what is behind the surface before drilling.
The T-One® Connector uses a 15 amp fuse in the yellow fuse holder provided with the kit.
Do not exceed the lower of the towing manufacturer's rating or the specific amperage ratings stated on the product. Overloading circuits can cause fires.
Verify that all connections are complete. Check that the yellow T-Connector end is fully inserted and locked on the driver side, the green T-Connector end is fully inserted and locked on the passenger side, the white ground wire is securely attached to the frame or crossmember with the eyelet and screw, the black power wire is connected to the vehicle's positive battery terminal via the yellow fuse holder, and the 15 amp fuse is installed in the fuse holder. Reset the vehicle electrical system by temporarily removing the ignition key. Test with a test light or trailer to verify proper operation.
Ensure that all connector surfaces are clean and free of dirt before connecting. Verify that you are inserting the connectors fully between the vehicle's taillight wiring connectors. Be careful not to damage the locking tabs during insertion. If the connectors still do not lock, the locking tabs may be damaged or the connectors may not be compatible with your vehicle's taillight connectors.
