Installation Instructions for Electric Trailer Brake Control Wiring Adapter
Part Number: 301500
Tools Required:
- None
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: Locate the Vehicle’s Electric Junction Box
- Find the black Electric Junction Box inside the vehicle:
- Under the dashboard, left of the steering column, just above the carpet.
- Remove the cover of the Electric Junction Box.
- Locate the connection point for the electric trailer brakes in the top row, second slot from the left.
Step 2: Plug the Brake Control Adapter into the Vehicle Connector
- Plug the brake control adapter into the mating connection point inside the Electric Junction Box.
- Use a circuit tester to verify that battery (+) power is supplied to the adapter.
NOTE:
- Not all vehicles are pre-wired with complete power connections to the battery and/or wiring for electric trailer brakes.
- If power is already supplied, skip to Step 4.
Step 3: Add Power Supply (If Required)
For vehicles with no power supply:
-
Use an Electric Brake Control Wiring Kit and route all wires as described in the wiring kit instructions or as follows:
A. Vehicle Brake Control Feed Wire (Blue):
- Open the vehicle’s hood and locate the black Electrical Center Box on the driver’s side.
- Remove the cover to access the blue brake control feed wire.
- This step may require temporarily removing the vehicle’s support brace.
B. Vehicle Battery (+) Power Supply Wire (Red):
- Locate the red battery (+) power supply wire in the Electrical Center Box.
- Connect the wiring and ensure an in-line fuse or circuit breaker is installed.
- Reinstall the Electrical Center Box cover, lid, and support brace.
Step 4: Connect the Brake Controller
- Plug the brake control adapter into the vehicle’s brake control harness connector.
- Follow the brake control manufacturer’s instructions for wiring and mounting the unit.
Warnings:
- Complete the installation following the brake control manufacturer’s instructions.
- Mount the brake controller securely as directed.
- Perform all test procedures outlined in the brake controller manual.
- Do NOT overload the circuit:
- Maximum capacity: 4 axles / 8 brakes (24 amps)
- Always follow the vehicle manufacturer’s towing and load limits.
Wiring Overview:
- Blue Wire: Brake control feed wire (output to trailer brakes)
- Red Wire: Battery (+) power supply
- Ground: Connects brake controller to vehicle ground
- Stop Lamp Switch (Input): Vehicle braking signal to the brake controller
Final Notes:
- Periodically inspect the connections for tightness and wear.
- Ensure all wires are properly routed away from sharp edges, heat sources, and pinch points.
- Consult the vehicle owner’s manual for additional information regarding towing and electrical connections.

Installation and Operation Instructions for Voyager Electronic Brake Control
Specifications:
- Compatible with 2, 4, 6, and 8 brake applications.
- Uses an inertial sensor for proportional braking.
Tools Required:
- Drill with a 1/8” bit.
-
6 x 3/8” screws.
- Screwdriver or wrench.
Safety Notes:
- Avoid mounting or operating RF-generating devices (e.g., cell phones, two-way radios) closer than 12 inches to the brake control.
- Reversing the connection to a breakaway battery will damage the brake control.
- Disconnect the trailer plug before testing a breakaway switch to prevent damage.
- The level adjustment is critical for proper braking response.
- Always adhere to the vehicle's Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR).
- This unit is designed for electric trailer brakes only.
Hardware List:
- Voyager brake control unit.
- Mounting bracket.
- Screws for mounting.
Installation Instructions:
Mounting the Brake Control:
- Select a Mounting Location:
- Ensure a flat, solid surface between -20° nose down and 70° nose up.
- Avoid any area with potential interference or unstable mounting.
- Attach the Mounting Bracket:
- Use the provided #6 x 3/8” screws to securely mount the bracket.
- Avoid over-tightening or using longer screws to prevent damage.
- Install the Brake Control:
- Attach the control to the bracket and adjust its position.
- Tighten the screws snugly to secure the unit.
Leveling the Sensor:
- Connect the trailer to the tow vehicle. The bi-colored light should glow green.
- Turn the Power Knob to maximum (clockwise).
- Press and hold the brake pedal.
- Adjust the Level Knob:
- Turn it counter-clockwise until the light changes from green to red.
- Slowly turn it clockwise until an orange light is visible.
- Light Settings:
- Dim orange: Normal setting.
- Bright orange: Aggressive braking.
- Dim red: More aggressive braking.
Adjusting Power to Trailer Brakes:
- Connect the trailer to the tow vehicle.
- Turn the Power Knob to the 12 o’clock position.
- Drive at 25 mph on a dry, level surface.
- Apply the Manual Slide Knob:
- If trailer brakes lock up, decrease power (turn counter-clockwise).
- If braking is insufficient, increase power (turn clockwise).
- Repeat until the braking is smooth and sufficient without wheel lock-up.
Fine-Tuning:
- Make several slow stops to assess braking response.
- If brakes grab too much, reduce aggressiveness by turning the Level Knob clockwise.
- If braking is delayed, increase aggressiveness by turning the Level Knob counter-clockwise.
Maintenance:
- Regularly inspect connections and ensure wires are secure.
- Adjust brakes after the first 200 miles of use and every 3,000 miles thereafter.
- Keep the unit clean and free from debris.
Troubleshooting Guide:
Issue | Probable Cause | Solution |
---|---|---|
No green light when connected. | Corrosion or loose ground/power wires. | Inspect and clean connections. |
No red light with manual knob. | Low power or short on brake wire. | Increase power or inspect wiring. |
Brakes lock up. | Power set too high. | Reduce the power setting. |
Delayed braking. | Improper sensor leveling. | Re-level the sensor. |
