Install your electric brake controller quickly and easily with this custom wiring adapter. Simply plug one end of the adapter into your brake controller and then plug the other end into the built-in harness beneath your vehicle's dash.
Features:
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.

Install your electric brake controller quickly and easily with this custom wiring adapter. Simply plug one end of the adapter into your brake controller and then plug the other end into the built-in harness beneath your vehicle's dash.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.
Peggy C - 10/14/2020I 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.
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.
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.
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.
Vern - 05/06/2021We 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.
jim a - 06/08/2016I ordered trailer brake controller and connector wire at 4:30 PM and it was on my doorstep at 2:30 PM the next day I I am amazed how fast they got it to me dealt with Justin. He was very Knowledgeable and polite . I will definitely be dealing with them for any of my future needs
Armand - 03/01/2021I 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.
Holo - 11/30/2017Hello, 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.
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.
Easy to install and easy to use! I had to adjust the controller to find the "sweet spot" and once I did that it has been smooth sailing.
Ken J - 08/18/2021This wiring adaptor for my Honda Ridgeline was exactly what was needed to make things simple to hook up my Brake controller. Plug -n-play as they say.
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.
Works as it should on 2011 Honda pilot. Etrailer is great for figuring out what you need and how to install.
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.
Patrick B - 08/24/2015So much easier to plug it in and go than trying to match the different color coded wires from the manufacturer and the brake controller.
Ed worked with to assure that the right pig tail matched my vehicle and brake controller and that it arrived on time. Many thanks for this rather frustrating journey.
I was surprised at the high quality of this adapter, especially the abrasion-resistant shroud around the wires. Installing it as so much easier than splicing the wires of the OEM connector from Honda.
Hugh - 09/28/2020Used it many times with a dual axel flat bed trailer to transport my John Deere 4200 with my Honda Ridgeline. Never a problem, the push button adjustment worked well and easy to us. Made for safe transport empty or fully loaded. Good product at a Good price.
Wiring Adapter fit perfectly and everything is working as it should. Always a pleasure to work with this company.
Perfect fit for 2021 Honda Ridgeline
Plug and play in 2018 Ridgeline RTLE with the cable provided by etrailer. Nice size to be used manually but not take up too much space.
Works great with my Honda Ridgeline and 3500 pound trailer. Completely plug and play.
Very well made with good connectors and wiring best of all it's plug and play. Shipping very timely well packaged well done etrailer.com. This was installed with Tekonsha controller and was basically find the factory connector under the dash and plug the wiring into it. Then into the controller.
Perfect. As advertised. Happy to order again from etrailer.
