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 2009-2009 Dodge Journey Tekonsha Plug & Play T-Connector Adapter Trailer Wiring 118474 (Part #TK118474) Drilling is required for installation. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
The T-Connector is a trailer tow harness for a Dodge Journey that allows you to connect a trailer to your vehicle's electrical system. It taps into the vehicle's taillight wiring and battery to provide power for trailer lights. The system includes a T-Connector with a black box, a 4-Flat connector for the trailer, wiring harness, fuse holder, and mounting hardware.
Yes, this T-Connector is designed specifically for the Dodge Journey. The manual confirms it is compatible with this vehicle model.
You will need: a trim panel remover, a drill with a 3/32" drill bit, a 1/4" socket, a Phillips head screwdriver, and a test probe. These tools are required to remove taillight trim, drill the ground wire hole, and test the installation.
The kit includes: T-Connector ends with yellow, brown, red, and green wires; a 4-Flat connector; a black box; a harness with green wire; a yellow fuse holder with 10 amp fuse; a white ground wire with eyelet; a screw for the ground wire; yellow butt connectors; double-sided tape; and cable ties. A bracket or electrical box for mounting the 4-Flat connector is not included.
Yes. You must disconnect the vehicle's negative (-) battery cable before connecting the power wiring in step 7. After all connections are complete and the fuse is installed, you reconnect the negative battery cable in step 9.
Yes. You must remove both the right and left taillight assemblies by removing the two clips holding each taillight in place and carefully prying the housing away from the vehicle. This is the first step of the installation process.
On the driver's side, locate the taillight wiring harness and separate the connector carefully without breaking the locking tabs. Insert the T-Connector end with the yellow wire between the vehicle wiring connectors and lock into place. Then insert the T-Connector end with the brown and red wire between the vehicle wiring connectors and lock into place. Ensure all connector surfaces are clean and connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. Repeat this process on the passenger's side using the T-Connector containing the green wire.
Route the harness containing the green wire and the 4-Flat connector down the opening behind the taillight on the driver's side. Route the 4-Flat harness underneath and to the center of the vehicle. Route the harness containing the green wire underneath the vehicle and up through the opening behind the passenger's side taillight. Route all wires 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 on the driver's side near the taillight connectors to secure the white ground wire with the eyelet and screw provided. Before drilling, verify what is behind the surface to avoid damage to the vehicle or personal injury. Do not drill into any exposed surfaces.
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.
First, disconnect the vehicle's negative (-) battery cable. Remove the fuse from the yellow fuse holder if not already removed. Cut the fuse holder wire, attach the ring terminal, and secure it to the vehicle's positive (+) battery cable. Connect the other end of the fuse holder to the black 12 gauge wire using the yellow butt connector provided. Route the black wire out of the engine compartment to the rear driver's side of the vehicle. Connect the other end of the black 12 gauge wire to the red power wire located on the T-Connector's black box using the yellow butt connector provided. Finally, reconnect the vehicle's negative (-) battery cable and install the 10 amp fuse into the fuse holder.
Install a 10 amp fuse into the yellow fuse holder. This fuse protects the circuit and must be installed after all other connections are complete.
The T-Connector system uses the following wire colors: yellow wire (driver's side taillight connection), brown and red wires (driver's side taillight connection), green wire (passenger's side taillight connection and 4-Flat routing), white wire (ground connection), and black 12 gauge wire (battery power connection). Yellow butt connectors are used to join the black wire to the fuse holder and to the red power wire on the black box.
Mount the T-Connector black box on the driver's side using the double-sided tape provided. Secure the remainder of the T-Connector harness with the cable ties provided to prevent damage or rattling, being careful to avoid any areas that would cut or pinch the wire.
Mount the 4-Flat connector end in an accessible location with a bracket or electrical box. Note that a bracket or electrical box is not included with the T-Connector kit and must be obtained separately.
Do not exceed the lower of the towing manufacturer rating or: maximum stop/turn light of 1 per side (2.1 amps) and maximum tail lights of 5.6 amps. Overloading the circuit can cause fires. Consult your vehicle's owner's manual and instruction sheet for additional information.
Route the wires carefully to avoid hot pipes, heat shields, the fuel tank, or any other points that may pinch or break the wire. Before drilling any holes, verify what is behind the surface to avoid damage to the vehicle or personal injury. Do not drill into any exposed surfaces. Wear safety glasses and use all safety precautions during installation.
All connections must be complete for the T-Connector to function properly. Test and verify the 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.
Reinstall the taillight housing assemblies, positioning the vehicle wiring harness between the housing and the vehicle body. This ensures the harness is properly protected and the taillights function correctly.
Yes, the T-Connector (118474-037) is designed specifically for the Dodge Journey.
You need: trim panel remover, drill with 3/32" bit, 1/4" socket, Phillips screwdriver, and test probe.
Yes, you must drill one 3/32" hole on the driver's side to secure the ground wire. Verify what is behind the surface before drilling and do not drill into exposed surfaces.
Yes, disconnect the vehicle's negative (-) battery cable before connecting the power wiring. Reconnect it after all connections are complete and the 10 amp fuse is installed.
The T-Connector uses a 10 amp fuse in the yellow fuse holder provided.
