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 a wiring harness adapter that allows you to connect a trailer to your Nissan NV200. It taps into the vehicle's existing taillight wiring to provide power for trailer lights. The system includes a T-Connector harness with color-coded wires (yellow, green, and white), a fuse holder with a 10 amp fuse, and a 4-Flat connector for the trailer.
Yes, the T-Connector (part number 118597-037) is designed for the Nissan NV200. The manual does not indicate compatibility with other vehicle models.
You will need: trim panel remover, 10 mm socket and ratchet or 10 mm wrench, drill with 3/32" bit, 1/4" socket, wire crimpers, wire cutters, Phillips head screwdriver, and a test probe. Safety glasses are also required.
The T-Connector kit includes: a T-Connector harness with yellow, green, and white wires; a black 12 gauge power wire; a yellow fuse holder with a 10 amp fuse; a yellow butt connector; an eyelet and screw for grounding; cable ties; and a 4-Flat connector for the trailer. The kit is designed to connect to your vehicle's existing taillight connectors.
Yes. You must disconnect the vehicle's negative (-) battery cable before connecting the fuse holder to the positive battery terminal. This is done in step 8. After all connections are complete, you reconnect the negative battery cable in step 9.
You must open the rear door and remove the access panel doors on both sides of the vehicle to reach the taillight wiring connectors. Several trim panel fasteners will need to be removed to access these panels. These panels and fasteners are reinstalled at the end of installation.
Yes. You must drill one 3/32" hole on the driver's side near the taillight connectors to secure the white ground wire with an eyelet and screw. Before drilling, verify what is behind the surface to avoid damage to the vehicle or personal injury. Do not drill into any exposed surfaces.
You must drill a 3/32" hole on the driver's side near the taillight connectors to secure the white ground wire with the eyelet and screw provided.
The T-Connector harness contains three main wires: the yellow wire connects to the driver's side taillight connector; the green wire routes across the vehicle to the passenger side taillight connector; and the white wire provides the ground connection. The black 12 gauge power wire connects to the vehicle's positive battery terminal through a fuse holder.
On the driver's side, plug the T-Connector harness with the yellow wire into the vehicle's taillight connectors. Route the end with the green wire up through the trim panel access hole, across the top threshold, and through the passenger side trim panel access hole. The manual suggests attaching the harness to fish wire and carefully pulling it toward the passenger side for easier installation. The black power wire routes either through a grommet along the exterior frame or follows existing wiring along the thresholds into the engine compartment to the battery.
The T-Connector uses a 10 amp fuse. This fuse is installed in the yellow fuse holder provided with the kit and protects the power circuit from the vehicle's positive battery terminal.
Disconnect the vehicle's negative (-) battery cable first. Locate the black 12 gauge power wire from the T-Connector box. Cut the wire from the yellow fuse holder, attach a ring terminal to it, and secure it to the vehicle's positive (+) battery terminal. Connect the other end of the fuse holder to the black 12 gauge wire using the yellow butt connector provided. Finally, reconnect the negative battery cable and install the 10 amp fuse into the fuse holder.
Locate a suitable grounding point on the driver's side near the taillight connectors. Drill a 3/32" hole and secure the white wire with the eyelet using the screw provided. Do not drill into any exposed surfaces. Before drilling, verify what is behind the surface to avoid damage.
Do not exceed the lower of your vehicle manufacturer's rating or the following limits: maximum 2 stop/turn lights per side (4.2 amps total) or maximum tail lights (7.5 amps). Overloading the circuit can cause fires. Consult your vehicle's owner's manual for additional information.
The module must be mounted so that the epoxy side points toward the ground to prevent water buildup inside the module.
Wear safety glasses during installation. Verify what is behind any surface before drilling to avoid damage to the vehicle or personal injury. Do not drill into exposed surfaces. When routing wires, avoid areas that could pinch, cut, or melt the wire. Be careful not to damage connector locking tabs. Read and follow all warnings on the vehicle battery. Do not exceed circuit load limits to prevent fires.
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. For the initial test, reset the vehicle's electrical system by temporarily removing the key from the ignition.
After installation, ensure all wires are secured with cable ties to prevent damage or rattling. Verify that no wires are pinched or cut during reinstallation of trim panels, thresholds, storage covers, and floor coverings. Test the system with a test light or trailer to confirm all lights function correctly. Ensure the module's epoxy side points toward the ground.
Store the 4-Flat connector in the rear cargo area of the vehicle when not in use.
Begin on the driver's side. Plug the T-Connector harness containing the yellow wire between the vehicle's mating connectors. Be careful not to damage the locking tabs and ensure the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. Then route the end with the green wire across to the passenger side.
Yes. You must disconnect the wire harness from the vehicle's taillight connectors before plugging in the T-Connector harness. The T-Connector plugs in between the vehicle's mating connectors.
Use the cable ties provided to secure the remainder of the T-Connector harness after installation. This prevents damage or rattling and helps avoid areas that could pinch, cut, or melt the wire.
Yes, the T-Connector (part 118597-037) is designed for the Nissan NV200.
Trim panel remover, 10 mm socket/ratchet or wrench, drill with 3/32" bit, 1/4" socket, wire crimpers, wire cutters, Phillips screwdriver, test probe, and safety glasses.
Yes, you must drill one 3/32" hole on the driver's side to secure the white ground wire. Verify what is behind the surface before drilling.
The T-Connector uses a 10 amp fuse installed in the yellow fuse holder provided.
Do not exceed 2 stop/turn lights per side (4.2 amps) or 7.5 amps for tail lights, whichever is lower than your vehicle manufacturer's rating. Overloading can cause fires.
Yes, disconnect the negative battery cable before connecting the fuse holder to the positive terminal in step 8. Reconnect it after all connections are complete in step 9.
Verify that all connections are complete. Test the installation with a test light or trailer. If the system still does not function, reset the vehicle's electrical system by temporarily removing the key from the ignition. Ensure the 10 amp fuse is installed in the fuse holder and is not blown. Check that all wire connections are secure and that the connector locking tabs are fully engaged.
The module must be mounted so that the epoxy side points toward the ground to prevent water buildup. If water is accumulating, remount the module with the epoxy side facing downward.
