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.

Required tools: safety glasses, Phillips screwdriver, wire stripper, wire crimper, 10 mm socket, ratchet, drill with 3/32" drill bit, and a test light. A fish wire is also recommended to help route the harness through tight spaces.
The hardware kit includes: Perma Seal Butt Connectors (yellow heat shrinkable), ring terminals, #8 screws, 15 amp fuse, fuse holder, double-sided tape, and 6" wire ties. Yellow heat shrinkable butt connectors are used to connect the black 12 gauge power wire to the fuse holder and to the module's black power wire.
Yes. You must locate the vehicle's battery, disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable before beginning installation. The negative cable is reconnected after the fuse holder is connected to the positive battery terminal.
The installation difficulty is rated as Intermediate. This rating is based on time and effort involved and may vary depending on installer expertise and vehicle condition. Installation times are listed on the Horizon Global website or in downloadable application guides.
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 any surface prior to drilling to avoid damage to the vehicle and personal injury. Do not drill into the vehicle floor, bed, or any exposed surfaces.
Locate a suitable grounding point near the black box, such as an existing ground stud. If drilling is necessary, drill a 3/32" hole and secure the white wire using the eyelet and screw provided. Clean dirt and rustproofing from the area before drilling. Do not drill into the vehicle floor or bed. Always verify what is behind the surface before drilling.
The fuse rating is 15 amps. The 15-amp fuse is installed into the fuse holder after the negative battery cable is reconnected. The fuse holder is connected to the positive battery terminal via a ring terminal.
The power wire is 12 gauge (12 ga.). This black 12 gauge wire is routed from the fuse holder at the positive battery terminal rearward along the frame rail to the black power wire on the T-One® Connector's black box.
The T-One® Connector has three colored wires: yellow (driver's side taillight connector), green (passenger's side taillight connector), and white (ground wire). The black power wire connects to the vehicle's positive battery terminal via the fuse holder. The black box module has a black power wire that connects to the 12 gauge power wire from the fuse holder.
Beginning from the front of the vehicle, route the black 12 gauge wire rearward along the frame rail, avoiding hot pipes, heat shields, the fuel tank, and any other points that may pinch or break the wire. If routing through a grommet and along the exterior of the vehicle, continue to avoid hot pipes, heat shields, fuel tank, and pinch points.
Yellow heat shrinkable butt connectors are used to connect the fuse holder to the black 12 gauge power wire and to connect the black 12 gauge power wire to the black power wire on the T-One® Connector's black box. Ring terminals are used to secure the fuse holder to the vehicle's positive battery terminal.
For vehicles with cargo trays (interior installation): Mount the black box using the double-sided tape provided on a suitable flat mounting point inside the vehicle. For vehicles without cargo trays (underneath installation): Mount the black box underneath the vehicle behind the rear bumper fascia using the double-sided tape provided. In both cases, clean the flat mount surface with a 50-50 mixture of rubbing alcohol and water before mounting. For underneath installation, ensure the epoxy side of the module points toward the ground to prevent water buildup.
1. On the driver's side, insert the T-One® Connector end containing the yellow wire between the vehicle and taillight connector. 2. On the passenger's side, insert the T-One® Connector end containing the green wire between the vehicle and taillight connectors. All connector surfaces must be clean and free of dirt. Be careful not to break any locking tabs when inserting or separating connectors.
1. Disconnect the vehicle's negative battery cable. 2. Cut the fuse holder wire and attach the ring terminal to the vehicle's positive battery terminal. 3. Connect the other end of the fuse holder to the black 12 gauge wire using a yellow heat shrinkable butt connector. 4. Reconnect the vehicle's negative battery cable. 5. Install the 15-amp fuse into the fuse holder.
After installation: 1. Reconnect the vehicle's negative battery cable and install the 15-amp fuse into the fuse holder. 2. Test and verify the installation with a test light or trailer. 3. For the initial test, reset the vehicle electrical system by temporarily removing the key from the ignition. 4. Reinstall any items removed during installation, being careful not to pinch or cut wires. 5. Route the 4-Flat harness through the driver's side panel and threshold into the storage compartment when not in use.
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 instructions printed on the vehicle's battery. Verify what is behind any surface prior to drilling to avoid damage to the vehicle and personal injury. Do not drill into the vehicle floor, bed, or exposed surfaces. Do not exceed the towing manufacturing rating or product amperage ratings.
If your vehicle is equipped with the Start/Stop option, do not connect the module power wire to the support battery. Only connect the module to the main vehicle battery. Failure to connect to the vehicle main battery may result in damage.
Do not exceed the lower of the towing manufacturing rating (including in your vehicle owner's manual) or the specific amperage ratings stated on the product. Overloading circuits can cause fires. Do not exceed stated product ratings.
Test and verify the 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-One® Connector to function properly.
Clean the 4-Way flat connector after each use. 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. Ensure the 4-Way flat harness does not get pinched in door latches, trailer connection points, or contact the road surface. Clean the connection and add dielectric grease (sold separately) to the terminal pins.
Check the following: 1. Ensure the T-One® Connector ends are fully inserted and locked in place. 2. Remove the module's power fuse for 10 seconds and repeat the test. 3. Check chassis grounds and ensure ring terminals are in full contact with the vehicle chassis. 4. Remove the module's power fuse.
Check the following: 1. Ensure the fuse is fully inserted into the fuse holder with no breaks. 2. Verify the fuse holder is connected properly to the positive post of the battery. 3. Remove the fuse for 10 seconds and repeat the test. 4. Ensure the module is connected to B+ (positive). 5. Using a tester or voltmeter, check for voltage on either side of the yellow butt connector near the module. 6. Remove the module power fuse for 10 seconds and repeat the test. 7. If installation may have activated circuit protection, start the vehicle and turn all functions off (tail/headlights, brake, and turns), then remove the module power fuse for 10 seconds and repeat the test.

The manual provides two installation methods: Method 1 (interior installation with cargo trays): The black box is mounted inside the vehicle using double-sided tape, and the harness is routed through the driver's side panel and threshold. Method 2 (underneath installation without cargo trays): The taillights are removed, the harness is routed underneath the vehicle through the bumper opening, and the black box is mounted underneath behind the rear bumper fascia. Both methods connect the same yellow and green wires to the driver's and passenger's side taillight connectors respectively.
The manual provides two installation methods. Method 1 does not require taillight removal—the connector is inserted between the vehicle and taillight connectors without removing the lights. Method 2 requires removing the taillights by disconnecting the wiring connectors and removing the mounting screws using a 10 mm socket or Phillips screwdriver. The method you use depends on your vehicle's configuration and accessibility.
