Trailer Brake Controller Specs:
Features:
A lot of controllers have come and gone over the years, but the P3 remains one of the most reliable. It might not have a ton of new-fangled features, but it always gets the job done. And we love how easy it is to customize, adjust, and save settings.
Installation Notes:
Some models do have the brake (blue) and hot lead (orange or red) wires already ran from under the hood to the end of the driver's side frame rail. However, these wires are hard to access and additional wire will still be needed. Part # 118283 is still recommended.
