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 2015-2019 Lincoln MKC Tekonsha Plug & Play T-Connector Adapter Trailer Wiring 118284 (Part #TK118284) fits 2015-2019 Lincoln MKC models. The 2019 model year is the last year covered by this part number. For newer models, check for an updated version.
The 2015-2019 Lincoln MKC Tekonsha Plug & Play T-Connector Adapter Trailer Wiring 118284 (Part #TK118284) Drilling is required for installation. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
The T-One® Connector is a vehicle wiring harness system that integrates with your vehicle's electrical system to enable trailer lighting functions. It connects to the vehicle's factory wiring harness and provides a 4-flat connector outlet for trailer use. The system includes a black box connector unit, wiring harnesses with scotch lock connectors, a fuse holder with 15 amp fuse, grounding hardware, and cable ties for secure routing.
The manual documents installation for the 2017 Lincoln MKC. The wire colors referenced (grey/brown stripe, blue/grey stripe on driver's side; violet/orange stripe on passenger's side) are specific to this model. Before purchasing, verify your vehicle model and year match the documented application, or contact the manufacturer to confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle.
You will need: trim panel remover, drill with 3/32" drill bit, wire crimpers, wire cutters, Phillips head screwdriver, and test probe. These tools are required to access the vehicle's wiring, expose harness connections, drill the grounding hole, and verify electrical connections during installation.
The kit includes: T-One® Connector black box unit, yellow and brown wire harnesses with scotch lock connectors, green wire harness, white grounding wire with eyelet and screw, black 12 ga. power wire, yellow fuse holder with 15 amp fuse, yellow butt connector, double-sided tape, and cable ties. All fasteners and connectors needed for installation are provided.
Yes. You must disconnect the vehicle's negative (-) battery cable before making the final power connection to the battery. This is done in Step 12 before attaching the fuse holder ring terminal to the positive battery cable. After all connections are complete and the 15 amp fuse is installed, you reconnect the negative battery cable in Step 14.
You must partially remove the plastic threshold cover, side panels, air compressor, and cargo trays from the rear cargo area to access the vehicle's wiring harness. These items should be set aside during installation and reinstalled in Step 15. Take care not to pinch or cut wires when reinstalling.
On the driver's side, plug the yellow wire harness into the scotch lock on the grey/brown stripe wire, and plug the brown wire harness into the scotch lock on the blue/grey stripe wire. On the passenger's side, plug the green wire harness into the scotch lock on the violet/orange stripe wire. Ensure all connectors are fully inserted. Note: wire colors are specific to the 2017 Lincoln MKC; verify your vehicle's wire colors before connecting.
Mount the black box on the driver's side using the double-sided tape provided. Secure the remainder of the harness with cable ties to prevent damage or rattling, being careful to avoid areas that would cut or pinch the wire.
Drilling is required only for the grounding connection. You must locate a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as an existing ground stud. If no existing stud is available, drill a 3/32" hole and secure the white grounding wire using the eyelet and screw provided. Do not drill into the vehicle floor or bed. Before drilling, verify what is behind the surface to avoid damage to the vehicle or personal injury.
Use a 3/32" drill bit to create the grounding hole. Before drilling, clean dirt and rustproofing from the area and verify what is behind the surface to avoid damage.
Locate the black 12 ga. power wire from the T-One® Connector box on the driver's side. Route the black wire along the exterior frame or follow existing wiring along the thresholds into the engine compartment up to the battery. Avoid areas that may pinch or break the wire. If routing through a grommet and along the exterior, carefully avoid hot pipes, heat shields, fuel tank, or other points that may pinch or break the wire.
The system uses a 15 amp fuse. The fuse holder is provided with the kit. Install the 15 amp fuse into the fuse holder after reconnecting the vehicle's negative battery cable in Step 14. Do not exceed this amperage rating.
After disconnecting the vehicle's negative battery cable, remove the fuse from the yellow fuse holder if not already removed. Cut the fuse holder wire and attach the ring terminal to the vehicle's positive (+) battery cable. Connect the other end of the fuse holder to the black 12 ga. wire using the yellow butt connector provided. Reinstall the nut on the battery stud. Install the 15 amp fuse into the fuse holder after reconnecting the negative battery cable.
The T-One® Connector harness includes: yellow wire (connects to grey/brown stripe vehicle wire on driver's side), brown wire (connects to blue/grey stripe vehicle wire on driver's side), green wire (connects to violet/orange stripe vehicle wire on passenger's side), white wire (grounding), and black 12 ga. wire (power). Note: these wire colors are specific to the 2017 Lincoln MKC; your vehicle may use different colors.
Always wear safety glasses and follow all safety precautions during installation. When untaping the vehicle's wire harness, be careful not to nick or cut any exposed wires. When probing wires, do not probe across two wires or across vehicle structure. Before drilling, verify what is behind any surface to avoid damage to the vehicle or personal injury. Do not drill into vehicle floor, bed, or exposed surfaces. Avoid hot pipes, heat shields, and fuel tank when routing the power wire. Do not exceed the product's amperage ratings, as overloading circuits can cause fires.
After installation is complete, test and verify the installation with a test light or trailer. For the initial test, reset the vehicle's electrical system by temporarily removing the key from the ignition. All connections must be complete for the T-One® Connector to function properly. Verify that all wires are properly connected and secured before testing.
After installation: (1) Reconnect the vehicle's negative battery cable. (2) Install the 15 amp fuse into the fuse holder. (3) Reinstall all plastic trim panels, threshold, storage covers, floor covering, and other items removed during installation, being careful not to pinch or cut wires. (4) Route the 4-flat connector through the driver's side trim panel into the side storage compartment and store it there when not in use. (5) Test the system with a test light or trailer and reset the vehicle electrical system by temporarily removing the ignition key.
Do 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. The system uses a 15 amp fuse. Overloading circuits can cause fires. Consult your vehicle's owner's manual and the product documentation for the specific amperage limits applicable to your vehicle.
Route the T-One® Connector end with the green wire to the passenger's side behind the panels and along the threshold. Secure the harness with cable ties provided to prevent damage or rattling, being careful to avoid areas that would cut or pinch the wire.
Route the 4-flat connector through the driver's side trim panel into the side storage compartment and store it there when not in use.
You need: trim panel remover, drill with 3/32" bit, wire crimpers, wire cutters, Phillips screwdriver, and test probe.
Yes, disconnect the negative battery cable before making the final power connection in Step 12. Reconnect it after installing the 15 amp fuse in Step 14.
Route the black 12 ga. power wire from the T-One® box to the battery. Attach the ring terminal to the positive battery cable using the fuse holder, then connect the fuse holder to the black wire with the yellow butt connector. Install the 15 amp fuse after reconnecting the negative cable.
Verify that all connections are complete and properly seated. Check that: (1) the yellow and brown wire harnesses are fully inserted into the scotch locks on the driver's side wires, (2) the green wire harness is fully inserted into the scotch lock on the passenger's side wire, (3) the grounding wire is securely attached, (4) the power wire is properly connected to the battery with the ring terminal and fuse holder, (5) the 15 amp fuse is installed in the fuse holder, and (6) the negative battery cable is reconnected. Reset the vehicle electrical system by temporarily removing the ignition key. Test with a test light or trailer.
A repeatedly blown fuse indicates an electrical overload or short circuit. Verify that: (1) you are not exceeding the product's amperage rating or the towing manufacturer's rating stated in your vehicle owner's manual, (2) all wire connections are properly made and not touching vehicle structure or each other, (3) the grounding wire is securely attached to a proper ground point, and (4) no wires are pinched, cut, or damaged. If the fuse continues to blow after verifying these items, there may be a wiring fault; do not reinstall the fuse and contact the manufacturer.
