Tekonsha Trailer Brake Controller Install

[revrnd]

I just installed my P3 into my '11 following some great instructions. They're a bit hard to find, so here's the link:

The only difference I found during my install & the instructions is that the red/black wire from under the master cylinder & the 40 amp fuse were already installed from the factory.

Awesome! Take a picture of where you mounted the P3!

I agree, pics, or this thread is just freakin' stupid.

I guess you guys will have to call me stupid. I didn't have the proper screws to mount it towards the center of the dash. Right now it's more or less between the bottom of the steering column & above the accelerator. IMO it's not as accessible as I would like.

 

When I move it to the proper position, I'll post pics.

I just did the same install today. Those instructions are wonderful. The only question I have is, does it stay on all the time, or does it have a power save feature?

[revrnd]

There is a power save feature. It'll shut off after about 15 minutes.

I mounted my P3 just to the right of the steering column, almost under the ashtray. I also unplug the contoller and keep it under the jump seat when not in use. Figure out of sight, out of mind of thieves...

Yes those instructions are great, and they also work well explaining how to hook up trailer power to the rear.

Those instructions are great. I used them to install mine a few months ago.
