Brake Controller Installation – 2005 Dodge Durango – etrailer.com

Today we are going to do our install on a 2005 Dodge Durango with the tow package from the factory, and we are going to install Part Number 90185, the Tekonsha Prodigy brake controller. And we are also going to install the accompanying brake control harness for the Dodge tow package, and that is Part Number 3020P. To begin our install, we will start with the bracketry to hold our brake controller. And that is actually pretty easy. There is already an existing screw underneath the dash, and we are going to use that. We use a torx bit and we are going to go ahead and take that down. Then we run our bracket right back through it, and we are going to overlap so it will sandwich the plastic back up there like it was originally.

Since the bracket is in place now, we can move it back and forth as we need it. Line it up straight and hold the brake controller against it to make sure it is facing the right way. Then we go ahead and temporarily mount our brake controller. This way you can move it left or right to make sure it is facing directly forward. Then once you have it set the way you want it, go ahead and take down the brake controller and then install the other screw. We are not using the screws that came with the brake controller this time. We are using a self-tapping screw because it is going to go right through the plastic and it is going to go right into the piece of metal back here. So we need a self-tapping screw to attach to that. All right, we have our brake controller, before we install it for the last time, and we will go ahead and install the wire harness. It just clips into the back. This other half plugs underneath the dash into a port along the firewall. We will show you that later. We will go ahead and install this.

What we have highlighted here is the port we need to plug in and it is the blue port with the four blades in there. This is located right behind the parking brake pedal along the side of the body here. And then there is this junction box right here for the wire that goes from the inside to the outside of the vehicle. And the blue port is right next to it, and that is the one we need to use. The next thing we are going to do is go ahead and zip-tie the wires to the harness underneath to keep it out of the way. Okay, that is it. Pretty easy install. We covered Part Number 90185 from Tekonsha, the Prodigy brake controller, and its accompanying harness, 3020-P, also from Tekonsha.
