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 2009-2019 Ford Flex Tekonsha Plug & Play T-Connector Adapter Trailer Wiring 118472 (Part #TK118472) fits 2009-2019 Ford Flex models. The 2019 model year is the last year covered by this part number. For newer models, check for an updated version.
The 2009-2019 Ford Flex Tekonsha Plug & Play T-Connector Adapter Trailer Wiring 118472 (Part #TK118472) Drilling is required for installation. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
The T-Connector is a wiring harness that allows you to connect trailer lighting to your vehicle's taillight system. It uses a 4-Flat connector to interface with a trailer, and includes color-coded T-Connector ends (yellow and green wires) that splice into your vehicle's existing taillight wiring on both driver and passenger sides. The white wire provides a ground connection to the vehicle frame.
Yes, the T-Connector 118472-037 is designed for the Ford Flex. The installation instructions are specific to this vehicle model.
You will need: a drill with a 3/32" drill bit, a Phillips head screwdriver, and a 10mm socket and ratchet or 10mm wrench. These tools are required to remove the taillight housings and drill the grounding hole.
The T-Connector includes: two T-Connector ends (one with yellow wire, one with green wire), a 4-Flat connector, a white ground wire with an eyelet and screw, and cable ties for securing the harness. A bracket for mounting the 4-Flat connector is not included and must be sourced separately.
The manual does not specify whether the battery must be disconnected. Consult your vehicle's owner's manual or contact the manufacturer for guidance on electrical safety before beginning installation.
Open the rear door and remove both taillight housing assemblies by removing the two bolts securing each light and carefully prying the housing away from the vehicle. Be careful not to break the alignment tabs. Once removed, you can access and disconnect the vehicle wiring harness from the taillight socket.
On the driver's side, disconnect the vehicle wiring harness from the taillight socket. Plug the T-Connector end with the yellow wire in between the mating plugs on the driver's side taillight socket and vehicle wiring harness. This creates a splice that allows the trailer wiring to tap into the vehicle's taillight circuit.
On the driver's side, route the T-Connector end with the green wire and the 4-Flat connector wire down through the opening between the vehicle bumper and body. Route the green wire end to the passenger's side and route the 4-Flat underneath the bumper. Then route the green wire end up through the opening on the passenger side. Route all wiring carefully to avoid hot pipes, heat shields, the fuel tank, or any points that may pinch or break the wire.
Route the T-Connector end with the green wire up through the opening on the passenger side, being careful to avoid areas that could damage wiring. Repeat the same connection procedure as step 2: disconnect the vehicle wiring harness from the taillight socket and plug the green wire T-Connector end in between the mating plugs on the passenger's side taillight socket and vehicle wiring harness.
Yes, drilling is required. You must drill a 3/32" hole in the vehicle frame or cross member to secure the white ground wire. Do not drill into the vehicle floor or bed. Before drilling, verify what is behind the surface to avoid damage to the vehicle or personal injury, and do not drill into any exposed surfaces.
Locate a suitable grounding point near the connector on the vehicle's frame or cross member. Do not drill into the vehicle floor or bed. Clean dirt and rustproofing from the area before drilling the 3/32" hole. The white ground wire is then secured to this hole using the eyelet and screw provided.
The drill bit size is 3/32". This hole is drilled into the vehicle frame or cross member to secure the white ground wire using the eyelet and screw provided.
The T-Connector has three main wires: yellow wire (driver's side taillight connection), green wire (passenger's side taillight connection), and white wire (ground connection to vehicle frame). The 4-Flat connector carries the trailer lighting signals. All connections must be complete for the T-Connector to function properly.
The 4-Flat connector is the interface that connects to your trailer's wiring harness. It carries the trailer lighting signals (stop, turn, and tail light circuits) from your vehicle to the trailer. The 4-Flat connector must be mounted in a suitable location under the vehicle; a bracket is not included and must be sourced separately.
The maximum amperage is 7.5 amps for stop/turn lights and 7.5 amps for tail lights. Do not exceed the lower of your towing manufacturer's rating or these limits. Overloading the circuit can cause fires.
Wear safety glasses during installation. Before drilling, verify what is behind any surface to avoid damage to the vehicle or personal injury. Route wiring carefully to avoid hot pipes, heat shields, the fuel tank, or any points that may pinch or break the wire. Do not drill into the vehicle floor, bed, or exposed surfaces. All connections must be complete before use.
After installation is complete, test and verify the installation with a test light or by connecting an actual trailer. All connections must be complete for the T-Connector to function properly. Consult your vehicle's owner's manual and instruction sheet for additional information.
After reinstalling the taillight housing assemblies, secure the remainder of the T-Connector harness with the cable ties provided. This prevents damage or rattling. Be careful to avoid any areas that would cut or pinch the wire.
You need a drill with 3/32" bit, Phillips head screwdriver, and 10mm socket/ratchet or wrench.
