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 118849-037 is designed for the Ford Full Size Bronco.
Trim panel remover, 10mm socket and ratchet or 10mm wrench, drill with 3/32" bit, 1/4" socket, wire crimpers, wire cutters, Phillips head screwdriver, and test probe.
Yes. You must disconnect the vehicle's negative (-) battery cable before connecting the power wire to the positive battery terminal in step 9. Reconnect after the fuse is installed.
Yes. A 3/32" hole must be drilled to secure the white ground wire using the eyelet and screw provided. You must verify what is behind the surface before drilling to avoid damage to the vehicle or personal injury.
A 15 amp fuse must be installed in the yellow fuse holder provided with the T-Connector.
Do not exceed the lower of the towing manufacturer rating (including in your vehicle owner's manual) or the specific amperage ratings stated on the product. Overloading circuits can cause fires. Always wear safety glasses during installation.
Test and verify installation with a test light or trailer once installed. 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-Connector to function properly.
The T-One® T-Connector is a wiring harness that integrates with your vehicle's taillight connectors to provide a 4-Flat trailer connector. It allows you to connect a trailer to your Ford Full Size Bronco by tapping into the existing taillight wiring on both the driver and passenger sides.
The manual specifies this T-Connector is designed for the Ford Full Size Bronco. Installation on other vehicles is not supported by this manual.
No. You do not need to remove the entire taillight assembly. You only need to remove the protective covers next to each taillight by unscrewing 4 clips with a Phillips screwdriver and removing 2 10mm bolts on each side to access the taillight connectors.
Protective covers located next to each taillight (driver and passenger sides) are removed. Each cover is held in place by 4 clips (secured with Phillips screws) and 2 10mm bolts. These covers must be reinstalled at the end of installation.
On the driver side, insert the T-Connector end with the yellow wire between the vehicle's taillight wiring connectors and lock into place, ensuring the locking tabs are fully engaged. Repeat on the passenger side with the T-Connector end with the green wire. Ensure all connector surfaces are clean and free of dirt before connecting.
Mount the black box in the exposed area above and behind the taillight on a flat surface using the double-sided tape provided. The epoxy side of the module must point toward the ground to prevent water buildup.
The white ground wire is secured to a suitable grounding point near the connector (such as the vehicle's frame or crossmember) using an eyelet and screw provided. First, drill a 3/32" hole in a clean area (dirt and rustproofing removed), then secure the eyelet with the screw. Do not drill into the vehicle floor or bed.
Route the connector containing the green wire and 4-Flat down the opening between the bumper and body. Route the T-Connector end with green wire to the passenger side and route the 4-Flat underneath the bumper. Then route the T-Connector end with green wire up through the opening on the passenger side. Avoid hot pipes, heat shields, fuel tank, and pinch points. Mount the 4-Flat end in an accessible location with a bracket or electrical box (not included).
The T-Connector black box outputs a black 14 gauge power wire. This is connected to a black 12 gauge wire provided with the kit, which is then routed to the vehicle's battery. The 12 gauge wire connects to the positive battery terminal through a yellow fuse holder with a 15 amp fuse.
The black 12 gauge power wire is routed along the exterior frame or following existing wiring along the thresholds into the engine compartment up to the battery. Avoid areas that may pinch or break the wire, hot pipes, heat shields, and the fuel tank. The wire connects to the vehicle's positive (+) battery terminal through a ring terminal and yellow fuse holder with a 15 amp fuse.
The T-Connector includes a yellow butt connector (used to connect the fuse holder to the black 12 gauge power wire), a yellow fuse holder with a 15 amp fuse, a ring terminal (for the positive battery connection), an eyelet and screw (for the ground wire), double-sided tape (for mounting the black box), and cable ties (for securing the harness).
1. Disconnect the vehicle's negative (-) battery cable. 2. Remove the fuse from the yellow fuse holder if not already removed. 3. Cut the fuse holder wire and attach the ring terminal to the vehicle's positive (+) battery cable. 4. Connect the other end of the fuse holder to the black 12 gauge power wire using the yellow butt connector. 5. Reconnect the vehicle's negative (-) battery cable. 6. Install the 15 amp fuse into the fuse holder.
Avoid any hot pipes, heat shields, the fuel tank, and other points that may pinch or break the wire. Do not route wires through areas that could cut or melt them. Secure the harness with cable ties provided to prevent damage or rattling. When reinstalling protective covers and other removed items, be careful not to pinch or cut the wires.
Always wear safety glasses during installation. Follow all safety precautions during the installation process. Read and follow all warnings and cautions printed on the tow vehicle's battery before making any battery connections.
Verify that all connections are complete and secure. Test the installation with a test light or by connecting a trailer. For the initial test, reset the vehicle electrical system by temporarily removing the key from the ignition. Ensure the black box is mounted securely with the epoxy side pointing toward the ground, and all wires are secured with cable ties and not pinched or cut.
The manual does not specify ongoing maintenance requirements. However, periodically inspect the installation to ensure all connections remain secure, wires are not pinched or damaged, cable ties are intact, and the black box remains mounted securely with the epoxy side pointing toward the ground.
Verify that all connections are complete. Ensure the T-Connector ends with yellow and green wires are fully inserted into the vehicle's taillight connectors with locking tabs engaged. Check that the black box is properly mounted with the epoxy side pointing toward the ground. Verify the 15 amp fuse is installed in the fuse holder and the ring terminal is securely connected to the positive battery terminal. Test with a test light or trailer and reset the vehicle electrical system by temporarily removing the ignition key.
The black box is mounted with the epoxy side pointing upward instead of toward the ground. The epoxy side must point toward the ground to prevent water buildup. Remount the black box using the double-sided tape provided, ensuring the epoxy side faces downward.
Reroute the wires to avoid hot pipes, heat shields, the fuel tank, and other pinch points. Ensure the green wire and 4-Flat are routed down the opening between the bumper and body, with the 4-Flat underneath the bumper. Secure all wires with the cable ties provided to prevent movement and damage. Verify that protective covers are reinstalled without pinching the wires.
