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 2009-2013 Toyota Corolla Tekonsha Plug & Play T-Connector Adapter Trailer Wiring 118459 (Part #TK118459) is designed to fit the 2009-2013 Toyota Corolla.
The 2009-2013 Toyota Corolla Tekonsha Plug & Play T-Connector Adapter Trailer Wiring 118459 (Part #TK118459) fits the following vehicles: 2009-2013 Toyota Corolla. Always verify your specific year, make, and model before ordering.
The 2009-2013 Toyota Corolla Tekonsha Plug & Play T-Connector Adapter Trailer Wiring 118459 (Part #TK118459) Drilling is required for installation. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Yes, this T-Connector is designed for the Toyota Corolla. The manual does not specify which model years are compatible, so contact the manufacturer or check the product packaging to confirm your specific year and generation.
The T-Connector is a trailer wiring adapter that connects between your vehicle's existing taillight wiring harness and a 4-flat trailer connector. It allows you to plug a trailer into your vehicle's electrical system without permanently modifying the factory wiring.
Required tools are: trim panel remover, 10 mm socket and ratchet or 10 mm wrench, drill with 3/32" drill bit, 1/4" socket, wire crimpers, wire cutters, Phillips head screwdriver, and test probe.
The kit includes a yellow fuse holder with a 10 amp fuse, a yellow butt connector, a T-Connector harness with yellow and green wires, a black converter box with double-sided tape, and a 4-flat connector for storage in the trunk when not in use.
Yes. You must disconnect and isolate the vehicle's negative (-) battery terminal before beginning installation. Reconnect it only after all wiring connections are complete and the 10 amp fuse is installed in the fuse holder.
Wear safety glasses during installation. Read and follow all vehicle warnings and installation instructions before beginning. Read and follow all warnings and cautions printed on the tow vehicle's battery. Ensure all connector surfaces are clean and free of dirt before connecting.
Open the trunk and remove the threshold panel and floor coverings. Partially remove the corner felt trunk liner on both sides to expose the vehicle's taillight wiring harness.
Behind each taillight, separate the vehicle's wiring connectors carefully without breaking the locking tabs. Plug the T-Connector harness (yellow wire on driver's side, green wire on passenger's side) between the vehicle's mating connectors. Ensure all connector surfaces are clean and free of dirt.
Locate the existing ground stud in the vehicle. Loosen the nut, place the T-Connector white wire with ring terminal on the stud, and retighten the nut. Verify that all existing ground connections remain attached.
Route the black 12 gauge wire out of the engine compartment either along the exterior frame through a grommet or through the interior following existing wiring to the rear of the vehicle. Route carefully to avoid hot pipes, heat shields, fuel tank, or any points that may pinch or break the wire.
The yellow fuse holder is a safety device that protects the circuit. If not already removed, 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 gauge wire using the yellow butt connector provided.
Install a 10 amp fuse in the fuse holder. This fuse protects the circuit from overload.
From inside the trunk, connect the black 12 gauge wire and the red wire from the T-Connector black box using the supplied yellow butt connector.
On the driver's side, locate a flat surface in an out-of-the-way place and mount the T-Connector's black converter box using the double-sided tape provided.
Test and verify 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-Connector to function properly.
Do not exceed the lower of the towing manufacturer rating or: maximum stop/turn light 1 per side (2.1 amps); maximum tail lights (4.2 amps). Overloading the circuit can cause fires. Read your vehicle's owner's manual and instruction sheet for additional information.
Store the 4-flat connector in the trunk area when not in use.
Yes. After installation is complete, replace the trunk threshold panel, floor coverings, and felt trunk liner that were removed during installation.
Yes, this T-Connector is designed for the Toyota Corolla. Confirm your specific model year with the manufacturer.
You need: trim panel remover, 10 mm socket/ratchet or wrench, drill with 3/32" bit, 1/4" socket, wire crimpers, wire cutters, Phillips screwdriver, and test probe.
A 10 amp fuse is installed in the yellow fuse holder provided with the kit.
Do not exceed: 1 stop/turn light per side (2.1 amps) or maximum tail lights (4.2 amps). Overloading can cause fires.
Mount the black converter box on the driver's side in an out-of-the-way location using the double-sided tape provided.
Verify that all connections are complete. Check that the 10 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 problem persists, check that all connector surfaces are clean and free of dirt, and that the locking tabs on the connectors are fully engaged.
