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.

Yes, the 2017-2024 Jeep Compass Tekonsha Plug & Play T-Connector Adapter Trailer Wiring 118752 (Part #TK118752) is designed to fit the 2017-2024 Jeep Compass.
The 2017-2024 Jeep Compass Tekonsha Plug & Play T-Connector Adapter Trailer Wiring 118752 (Part #TK118752) Drilling is required for installation. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
The T-Connector 118752-037 is a wiring harness that integrates trailer lighting into your Jeep Compass's factory taillight system. It allows you to connect a trailer to your vehicle's electrical system by intercepting the taillight wiring on both the driver and passenger sides and routing power through a black control module mounted inside the vehicle. The connector includes a fuse holder and ground wire for safe operation.
Yes, the T-Connector 118752-037 is designed specifically for the Jeep Compass. No other vehicle compatibility is stated in the manual.
You will need: trim panel remover, 10mm socket and ratchet or 10mm wrench, Torx 30 driver, drill with 3/32" drill bit, wire crimpers, wire cutters, Phillips head screwdriver, and test probe. These tools are required to remove taillight assemblies, disconnect and reconnect wiring, drill the ground hole, and test the installation.
The kit includes: T-Connector harness with yellow, brown, green, and white wires; black control module; double-sided tape for module mounting; cable ties; white wire eyelet and screw for grounding; yellow fuse holder with 15 amp fuse; yellow butt connector; and ring terminal for battery connection.
Yes. You must disconnect the vehicle's negative (-) battery cable before connecting the fuse holder to the positive (+) battery cable in step 10. After all wiring is complete and the 15 amp fuse is installed in the fuse holder, you reconnect the negative battery cable.
On the driver's side, locate the vehicle's taillight wiring harness connector. Separate the connector carefully without breaking the locking tabs. Insert the T-Connector end with the yellow wire between the vehicle's wiring connectors and lock it into place, ensuring the locking tabs are fully engaged. Repeat this process on the passenger's side using the T-Connector end with the green wire. Ensure all connector surfaces are clean and free of dirt before connecting.
Mount the black control module on the driver's side of the vehicle using the double-sided tape provided. The module must be mounted with the epoxy side pointed toward the ground to prevent water buildup. After mounting, secure the remainder of the T-Connector harness with the cable ties provided to prevent damage, rattling, or pinching of wires.
Yes, drilling is required. You must drill a 3/32" hole to secure the white ground wire using the eyelet and screw provided. However, you may use an existing ground stud near the connector instead of drilling. Before drilling, verify what is behind the surface to avoid damage to the vehicle or personal injury. Do not drill into the vehicle floor, bed, or any exposed surfaces.
On the driver's side, route the T-Connector end with yellow and brown wires behind the fascia supports, following the existing wire harness to the taillight pocket. Route the harness containing the green wire underneath the vehicle and up through the opening between the vehicle bumper and body to the passenger's side taillight pocket. Route the black 12 ga. wire from the front of the vehicle rearward along the frame rail. Avoid hot pipes, heat shields, fuel tank, and any points that may pinch or break the wire. Secure all harness sections with cable ties to prevent damage or rattling.
The yellow fuse holder with 15 amp fuse protects the electrical circuit. After disconnecting the vehicle's negative battery cable, you remove the fuse from the yellow fuse holder, cut the fuse holder wire, attach the ring terminal to the vehicle's positive (+) battery cable, and connect the other end of the fuse holder to the black 12 ga. wire using the yellow butt connector provided. The 15 amp fuse is then installed into the fuse holder. This setup protects against circuit overload and fire hazard.
The T-Connector uses: yellow wire (driver's side taillight connection), brown wire (routed with yellow on driver's side), green wire (passenger's side taillight connection), white wire (ground connection), and black 12 ga. wire (positive battery connection via fuse holder). The yellow and green wires connect to the vehicle's taillight harness; the white wire grounds to an existing stud or drilled hole; the black wire connects to the positive battery terminal through the fuse holder.
Locate a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as an existing ground stud. If no suitable stud exists, drill a 3/32" hole and secure the white wire using the eyelet and screw provided. Before drilling, clean dirt and rustproofing from the area and verify what is behind the surface to avoid damage. Do not drill into the vehicle floor or bed.
1. Disconnect the vehicle's negative (-) battery cable. 2. Remove the fuse from the yellow fuse holder. 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 ga. wire using the yellow butt connector. 5. Reconnect the vehicle's negative (-) battery cable. 6. Install the 15 amp fuse into the fuse holder. After installation, reset the vehicle electrical system by temporarily removing the ignition key.
After installation is complete, test and verify the installation with a test light or by connecting an actual trailer. 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. Use a test probe to verify proper electrical function at the taillight connections.
The manual specifies a 15 amp fuse for the T-Connector circuit. You must not exceed the lower of the towing manufacturer's rating (including in your vehicle owner's manual) or the specific amperage ratings stated on the product. Overloading circuits can cause fires. Refer to your vehicle's owner's manual and the product documentation for the complete amperage specifications.
Always wear safety glasses during installation. Before drilling, verify what is behind any surface to avoid damage to the vehicle or personal injury. Do not drill into the vehicle floor, bed, or exposed surfaces. When routing wires, avoid hot pipes, heat shields, fuel tank, and any points that may pinch or break the wire. Secure all harness sections with cable ties to prevent damage, rattling, cutting, or melting of wires. Read and follow all warnings printed on the vehicle battery. Do not exceed the product's amperage ratings.
Open the tailgate and remove the vehicle's taillight assemblies by removing the two T30 Torx head bolts on each side. After installing the T-Connector, reinstall the taillight housing assemblies, positioning the vehicle wiring harness between the housing and the vehicle body.
Route the 4-flat harness underneath and to the center of the vehicle. Mount the 4-flat end in an accessible location with a bracket or electrical box (not included). The manual does not specify the exact location, so choose a position that is convenient for connecting a trailer and protected from weather and damage.
During installation, you may need to remove plastic trim panels, threshold, storage covers, floor covering, and other items to access the wiring harness. After completing the T-Connector installation, reinstall all these items carefully, being sure not to pinch or cut the wires.
Yes. All connector surfaces should be clean and free of dirt before connecting the T-Connector to the vehicle's taillight wiring harness. This ensures proper electrical contact and prevents connection issues.
Verify that all connections are complete and properly seated. Check that the locking tabs on all connectors are fully engaged. Ensure the 15 amp fuse is installed in the fuse holder. Test the installation with a test light or trailer. Reset the vehicle electrical system by temporarily removing the ignition key. If the issue persists, verify that the white ground wire is properly connected to a clean ground point and that the black wire is securely connected to the positive battery terminal through the fuse holder.
The black control module must be mounted with the epoxy side pointed toward the ground to prevent water buildup. If water is accumulating, remount the module to ensure the epoxy side is facing downward. Verify that the double-sided tape is securing the module firmly in this orientation.
If wires are pinched, cut, or melted, the T-Connector will not function properly and may create a fire hazard. Secure all harness sections with the cable ties provided, routing them away from hot pipes, heat shields, fuel tank, and any sharp edges or pinch points. If damage has already occurred, the affected wire section must be repaired or replaced before the system can be safely used.
