Trailer brake controler

[sbwrench]

What kind of electric brake control are you using? I have a 2006 Jeep Unlimted Rubicon with a Mopar accesory trailer tow wire harness and need a electric brake control now. The harness is a 7 way rv plug and has a blue wire for the electric brakes.

El Cheapo from Northern Tool and I am very happy with it. It installs in all positions and adjusts very easily.

For my use it is perfect, I recommend it.

I'm looking at the Tekonsha P3. Just a little bit better than the Prodige. The main thing I'm interested is I need to mount it close to a 70° angle, the Prodige's limit. I'm worried that if I then drive down a steep hill, it will be past it's max tilt range. I'm worried that if I then drive down a steep hill, it will be past it's max tilt range. The P3 is good for 180 degrees.

Tekonsha Prodigy, awesome controller ,,,,,,,,,,,

The Prodigy is really the standard most others are judged by.

I used to have a proportional style controller from draw-tite, and the prodigy is 100,000X better for most driving conditions. You never really know it's on until you have to stop and you don't have it on (my trailer harness came unplugged one time).

Thanks for the links. Has anybody wired one up in a Jeep?

eTrailer is a great company to buy from. You can get everything you need and diagrams too.

There is not really any wiring to do. When you purchase your controller, ask for the adapter to fit Chrysler vehicles. It is a simple plug that will mate to a plug that's under your dash. Once you're controller is plugged in, the blue wire in your 7 way is live.

Yeah, as long as you have the adapter in your jeep, it's super easy. I didn't have it in my old ranger, and it took a couple of hours to hook up, but it still wasn't that bad. If you don't have one of those plugs, let me know and I"ll upload a wiring diagram that I had from when I did my install.

Did your TJ have the factory plug stashed under the dash?
