Installation of Tekonsha Brake Controller Adapter
This adapter plugs into the 4-pin connector on your vehicle's built-in brake control wiring harness. The harness is located underneath the dash, to the left of the steering column, taped to another harness near the emergency brake pedal.
To install your electric brake controller you need to connect the wiring of the controller to your vehicle. Certain manufacturers offer pre-wired options, typically known as tow packages, wherein these wires are run for you from the dash to the trailer connector on the back of your vehicle. Often, a brake controller wiring harness is included with your tow package. This harness plugs into a port beneath your dash and connects to the four wires of the brake controller. If, however, you have a brake controller with a plug in place of the four loose wires, you can use the Tekonsha adapter.
This adapter requires no hardwiring. It is designed to plug directly into your electric brake controller for the simplest installation possible. Because there are no wires to connect, installation is not permanent. You can unplug and remove your brake controller at any time and securely stow it away.

Super easy install. I used the adapter cable for my 22 Ridgeline and had the controller installed and operational in 20 minutes. I highly recommend the TEKONSHA PRODIGY P3 this works real well with the 7x14 COVERED WAGON we just bought. ETRAILER is the got to source for what you need for any trailer.

Honda Ridgeline
Well made cable. I finally went to the dealer to locate the in car cable connector. Turns out it was just above and slightly behind the OBD port. The P3 and this cable work well together. Still waiting for the trailer to arrive..

Perfect length and fit in my 2022 Honda Ridgeline. I carefully cut a hole at the back of the pocket just above the transmission controls, and with one end plugged into the truck, the other end was just long enough to plug into the controller before mounting it. I appreciate the nylon loom over the wires x a little extra protection when dragging the wires over metal brackets.

2017 Honda Ridgeline
We found this product through a search for info on how to install a brake controller on our 2017 Honda Ridgeline. We had a Draw-Tite Activator IV Controller but struggled to hook it up until we watched your online video and discovered the existence of this Tekonsha adapter (3070-P) which was literally plug and play. We chose to install our controller in the same location as in the video but did not want to cut a hole in the panel. The wires tucked easily out of the way without cutting the hole. We towed yesterday and the trailer brakes/controller worked perfectly. Never could have done this without your video and this adapter. The picture shows our controller installed. You can’t really see the adapter since much of it is tucked under the dash.
Comments
One year later we are still towing with a perfectly working brake controller thanks to this plug and play adapter! No issues!

Honda Ridgeline
We have a Honda Ridgeline and this part plugged into the factory plug that was under the dash by the emergency brake petal switch. It was difficult to get to, but success was achieved. This was needed for our camper trailer. This made it easy, no hard wiring, just ordered the part for the Ridgeline and then plug and go. The brake controller plugged into the other end and now I am a happy camper. It worked, I blew a fuse while installing, must have touched something? No problem though, replaced it and was all was good.

After one year, it is nice to not even think about it. I love products that work correctly. Gives one peace of mind. This is a great product. . thanks etrailer and Tekonsha for being wonderful companies. . . jim

2017 Honda Ridgeline
I gave this a 4 star just because I haven't been able to hook up the trailer yet. The Primus IQ brake controller light is on so I'm assuming it will be fine. The harness arrived in good time.
I was able to hook it up in my 2017 Honda Ridgeline in about 20 minutes. The longest part was finding the connection! It was above and left of the parking brake. A headlamp really helped. It's very tight in there so I could use only one hand and did a lot of it by feel. In the picture you need to follow the red wire to the connection.
The brake controller I mounted on the plastic in front of my right knee.
Comments
Update - Everything worked fine. We went on several trips with our trailer and no problems at all.

2017 Honda Ridgeline
Hello, as requested I have attached some pics of the brake controller after installation on my 2017 Honda Ridgeline.
I have a lease vehicle so I did not want to drill any holes in the vehicle to mount or run wires. So what I did was install the mount bracket upside down and place a strong commercial velcro patch to the brake controller mount and to the tray area that it is sitting on. Then I slipped the wire harness between the crack in the IP and the lower console and tucked it up behind the dash so it could not be seen. The velcro holds the brake controller quite secure. This way I can remove the controller and reuse in my next vehicle without leaving any permanent marks or holes to this one.
Anyway , just thought I would share…
As far as the controller. I am very happy with its operation and functions.

2016 Honda Pilot
Just bought a Prodigy 3 and on my first trip with our light weight [email protected] clamshell with electric brakes pulled with a 2016 Honda Pilot...very satisfied.
I installed a factory hitch and harness and the cable etrailor provided snapped right in. The trailer is under 2,000 lbs so I opted to bet the boost to zero. So far so good. The only issue is it seems to apply the brakes more firmly when going over rough pavement, otherwise the braking action is very smooth.
I didn't want to mount the controller bracket permanently so I bent an angle plate into a U shape and pop riveted it so it would hang in the lower trim panel.
by: Kris07/01/2020
Purchased this brake controller and the corresponding wiring harness and installed in my 2017 Ridgeline. Installation was easy. Factory plug is behind dash right above the parking brake. A little tight to get your hand in, but not too bad. I did not cut thru the plastic panel behind the controller like some installs. Cable is long enough and can be ran in the crack between the two plastic panels (See picture). Install turned out good and controller is easy to setup. Very happy with purchase.
by: Gary08/24/2020
I bought this to connect a Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller to the 2020 Honda Ridgeline factory trailer wiring harness. It's a perfect fit. I routed the wiring adapter through the space between the lower part of the dash and the upper part of the console. This prevented having to drill a 1" diameter hole in the back of the dash pocket to allow clearance for the adapter connector.
by: Dis03/01/2021
I installed the Primus Brake Controller in my 2020 Ridgeline RTL and it works great. The Tekonsha Plug-in Wiring Adapter was critical to make this location of the controller possible.
by: Chris 10/04/2022
Added this to my controller buy making it a perfectly easy, OEM like harness without needing to cut anything. Plenty of length and tucks away and ties in neatly under the dash.

This brake controller wiring adapter was a perfect fit to our 2016 Honda Pilot. The hardest part was finding the factory plug under the dash. It was well hidden among all the other wires and connectors down there. I had to lie on my back on the floor with my butt against the seat and my legs in the air in order to find the plug and connect the adapter to it. But it fit fine.
Comments
Great. I adjusted it on initial installation, and it still works fine.

Prodigy P3 and wiring adapter for my 2022 Ridgeline worked great. The installation video was very helpful. I fished a wire behind the dash first to assist in pulling the wiring adapter through.

I purchased the trailer tow hitch, wiring, and brake controller from etrailer and I am more than pleased with my experience. Etrailer’s website made it very easy to select the parts that I needed for my 2020 Honda Pilot and provided a video for my specific vehicle making installation simple. Etrailer provides an exceptional service.

Worked great and made the controller installation easy.

2012 Honda Pilot
Very simple to install. Highly recommend this product to everyone. If you have a brake controller, don't forget to put a 20amp fuse in the fusebox for the electric brakes.
Comments
Not all vehicles will need an added fuse, but some will. Best to check to the owners manual andor the vehicle specific instructions that come with the vehicle specific brake controller harnesses we carry.

This brake controller worked great for us. Was a little tricky getting it plugged in under the dash in such a tight space, but once that was done it worked great — no issues.

2014 Honda Ridgeline
Just bought the Tekonsha Primus IQ and installed it. Haven't used it yet, as I pick up my first travel trailer next week. Product is solid, packaged with ample, clear instructions, wiring and mounting hardware. Lower dash on my Honda Ridgeline slopes steeply so I fashioned an L-bracket from 14 ga. steel bar and secured to side of center stack (see photo). Nice and level. Wiring to my harness was a bear, just because of where my connector was buried; needed the YouTube videos. Price was much lower from etrailer than any RV dealer around here. Arrived in less than a week. Think I made a smart choice. If it works as advertised it will get a fifth star.
by: Jonathan04/19/2022
Some online research indicated that there WAS a factory installed connector under the dash of my 2019 Honda Pilot AWD for an aftermarket brake controller (despite the dealer's assurance to the contrary).
The Tekonsha plug-in adapter is truly plug and play!
by: MTF06/03/2022
Given the number of install videos etrailer provides, it is hard to not have a great install. I highly recommend you watch etrailer videos before doing your install on any of their products!
by: Vern05/05/2020
2012 Honda Ridgeline
The harness fit and functioned perfectly and I love the P3 controller. Heck, the only problem I had was finding the connector Honda had taped and stuffed way up under the dash. Successful installation though. Thank you.

Left this behind when I sold the truck to my brother. They still use the connector.

He said that it is approximately 32 inches long overall. The harness works with any Tekonsha, Draw-Tite, or Reese brake controller that accepts a plug in the back such as the P2 # 90885. If you have a brake controller (any brand) that has bare wires at the back then you can use # 3070-S which will be about the same length.

The problem with mounting the mounting pocket using the hook and loop stuff is that it's not a tight connection. It takes a certain amount of force to operate the manual braking switch located on the underside of the Prodigy P2, not a huge amount of force, but enough to dislodge the pocket from the hook and loop fastener. Say the pocket has come loose, and is no longer pointed in the direction of travel. This means that...

It would be nice if the fuse came with the kit but unfortunately it will have to purchased separately. However, if you install the # 90885 with the # 3070-P and the controller isn't powering on the fuse is needed. It will be in the under hood fuse box.
