Installation Instructions for Electric Trailer Brake Control Wiring Adapter
Part Number: 302000
Tools Required:
- None
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: Locate the Vehicle’s Electric Brake Control Harness Connector
- The electric brake control harness connector is located:
- Underneath the dashboard
- To the left of the steering column, near the emergency brake pedal.
- It is typically taped to another harness and will feature a 4-pin connector that matches the adapter’s connector.
Step 2: Connect the Adapter
- Plug the brake control adapter into the 4-pin connector on the vehicle’s brake control harness.
- Connect the opposite end of the adapter to the brake controller.
- Follow the brake control manufacturer’s installation instructions for wiring and mounting the unit.
CAUTION:
Plug the adapter into the brake controller before attaching it to the vehicle connector.
Step 3: Complete Installation and Testing
- Mount the brake controller as per the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Perform all test procedures recommended by the brake controller manufacturer to verify proper operation.
Safety Warnings:
- Do NOT overload the circuit:
- Maximum capacity: 4 axles / 8 brakes (24 amps).

- Always refer to the vehicle owner’s manual and the brake controller instructions for proper installation and operation.
Wiring Overview:
- Stop Lamp Switch to Brake Controller (Input): Provides braking signal to the brake controller.
- Fused Battery Feed: Supplies power to the brake controller.
- Trailer Brake Controller (Output): Sends braking signal to the trailer brakes.
- Ground: Connects the brake controller to vehicle ground.
Final Notes:

Installation Instructions for Electronic Brake Control
Part Number: N20191
Components of the Brake Control:
- A. Power Knob
- B. Boost Button
- C. Manual Slide Knob
- D. Connector (For Wiring Harness)
- E. Bracket Mounting Holes
- F. Two-Digit Power Display
- G. Dash Mounting Clip Attachment Locations
Tools Required:
- Phillips Screwdriver
- Drill (Optional)
-
6 x 3/8" Screws (Included)
Safety Notes:
- Do not mount or operate RF devices (e.g., cell phones) within 12 inches of the Brake Control.
- CAUTION: Reversing a connection to the breakaway battery can destroy the Brake Control.
- Disconnect the trailer plug before testing a breakaway switch.
- This Brake Control is designed for electric trailer brakes only.
- WARNING: Do not exceed the vehicle manufacturer’s GCWR (Gross Combined Weight Rating).
Mounting Instructions:
Traditional Bracket Mount:
- Secure the mounting bracket to a solid surface using the included #6 x 3/8” screws.
- Align the Brake Control with the mounting holes and tighten screws until snug.
- Adjust the Brake Control to obtain the correct mounting angle.
Dash Mounting Clip:
- Secure the dash clip to a solid surface with the included #6 x 3/8” screws.
- Attach the Brake Control:
- Slide the Brake Control into the dash clip until the rear slots engage with the tabs.
- Raise the front of the Brake Control and lock it into the clip.
- Ensure the Brake Control is mounted evenly in the same adjustment slot on both sides.
Wiring Instructions:
Use one of the two options to wire the Brake Control:
Option 1: Generic Wiring
- Connect the White Wire to vehicle ground.
- Connect the Black Wire to the battery positive terminal.
- Connect the Red Wire to the stoplight signal.
- Connect the Blue Wire to the trailer brakes.
Option 2: OEM Specific Wiring Harness
- Use a vehicle-specific Tekonsha harness (available separately). Plug the harness into the Brake Control connector and the vehicle's tow package connector.
Adjusting Brake Power:
- Connect the trailer to the tow vehicle.
- Turn on the engine and use the Manual Slide Knob to set the power display to 6.0.
- Drive the vehicle and trailer at 25 mph on a level, dry surface.
- Fully apply the Manual Slide Knob:
- If trailer brakes lock up: Turn the Power Knob down.
- If braking is insufficient: Turn the Power Knob up.
- Repeat until the power is just below wheel lock-up or provides sufficient braking.
Boost Feature:
The Boost Button increases the aggressiveness of trailer braking. There are three levels:
- b.1: Boost Level 1 – Starts at 13% power.
- b.2: Boost Level 2 – Starts at 25% power.
- b.3: Boost Level 3 – Starts higher for heavier loads.
To Activate Boost:
- Press the Boost Button to display the current level.
- Continue pressing to advance the Boost setting.
- The Boost level will display for 5 seconds and then return to the power display.
Troubleshooting:
Display Condition | Cause |
---|---|
Flashes 2 times per second | Short circuit or overload on the brake wire. |
No display with activation | Loss of power or ground connection. |
No braking | Power control set to 0. Check power knob. |
Upper two bars flash | Brake Control mounted at too high an angle. |
Lower two bars flash | Brake Control mounted at too low an angle. |
Blank display (15 minutes) | Power saving mode activated after inactivity. |
Final Checks:
- Ensure all wiring connections are secure.
- Verify that the Brake Control display reads power output when the brakes are applied.
- Perform multiple low-speed stops to confirm proper braking.
