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-Connector is an electrical adapter that integrates trailer lighting into your vehicle's existing taillight wiring system. It allows you to connect a trailer's 4-flat connector to your vehicle's taillight circuit without permanently modifying the vehicle's wiring. The product includes a black box connector unit, harnesses with colour-coded wires (yellow and green), an eyelet, screw, double-sided tape, and cable ties.
The T-Connector is designed to work with vehicles that have a taillight wiring harness with a connection point near each taillight housing that matches the T-Connector's ends. The manual does not provide a specific vehicle compatibility list. You should verify that your vehicle's taillight connector matches the T-Connector ends before purchasing. Consult your vehicle's owner's manual or contact the manufacturer if you are unsure.
You need a screwdriver and a drill with a 3/32" drill bit. The screwdriver is used to remove and reinstall taillight housings. The drill is used to create a 3/32" hole for the ground wire connection on the vehicle frame or cross member.
The T-Connector includes: a black box connector unit, two harnesses with colour-coded wires (yellow and green), a 4-flat connector, an eyelet, a screw, double-sided tape, and cable ties. The eyelet and screw are used to secure the white ground wire to the vehicle frame.
Open the tailgate and carefully pry the taillight housings away from the vehicle body. Be careful not to break the alignment tabs during removal. These tabs help position the housing correctly when reinstalling.
On the driver's side, locate the vehicle's taillight wiring harness connector near the taillight housing. Separate this connector carefully without breaking the locking tabs. Ensure all connector surfaces are clean and free of dirt. Plug the T-Connector harness containing the yellow wire between the vehicle's mating connectors. Make sure the T-Connector is fully inserted with locking tabs in place. Repeat this process on the passenger's side using the T-Connector harness end with the green wire.
Beginning at the driver's side taillight pocket, route the harness containing the green wire and the 4-flat connector down through the opening between the vehicle bumper and body. Route the 4-flat harness to the center of the vehicle. Then route the harness containing the green wire underneath the vehicle and up through the opening between the bumper and body to the passenger's side taillight pocket. Route the wire carefully to avoid hot pipes, heat shields, the fuel tank, or any other points that may pinch or break the wire.
Yes. You must drill a 3/32" hole to secure the white ground wire. Before drilling, verify what is behind the surface to avoid damage to the vehicle or personal injury. Do not drill into the vehicle floor or bed, and do not drill into any exposed surfaces. Choose a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as the vehicle's frame or cross member.
Drill a 3/32" hole. This hole is used to secure the white ground wire using the eyelet and screw provided with the T-Connector.
Locate a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as 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 and securing the white wire with the eyelet and screw provided.
On the driver's side, mount the T-Connector black box using the double-sided tape provided. 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 cut or pinch the wire.
Reinstall the taillight housing assemblies, positioning the vehicle wiring harness between the housing and the vehicle body. Ensure the alignment tabs engage properly to secure the housings in place.
Do not exceed the lower of your towing manufacturer's rating or the following limits: maximum 1 stop/turn light per side at 2.1 amps, and maximum tail lights at 5 amps. Overloading the circuit can cause fires. Consult your vehicle's owner's manual and instruction sheet for additional information.
Route the wire carefully to avoid hot pipes, heat shields, the fuel tank, or any other points that may pinch or break the wire. Secure the harness with the cable ties provided to prevent damage or rattling. Avoid areas that would cut or pinch the wire.
All connections must be complete for the T-Connector to function properly. Test and verify the installation with a test light or by connecting a trailer once installed. This ensures all wiring is correctly connected and the system is functioning as intended.
Yes. All connector surfaces should be clean and free of dirt before connecting the T-Connector. This ensures proper electrical contact and reliable operation.
Clean dirt and rustproofing from the area where you will install the ground wire. This ensures a good electrical connection between the white ground wire and the vehicle frame or cross member.
