Trailer brakes installed

Thought others would like to see where I mounted my brake controller. Works fine and doesn't interfere with my legs. I'm 6'0"also.

I wanted to keep the little pockets open for switches in the future.

 

Nice but I also saw pics from another thread that put it in the little pocket above that. The guy removed the inner insert and was able to make it fit. This also avoided having to drill holes in the dash. But as long as it works and doesn't get in the way im game.

 

Looks good but Prodigy P2's are supposed to be mounted flat, level. That's how their proporsional controller works

 

Not according to the instructions that came with it.

It wasn't level in my other truck and was fine.

 

Yeah but I want to put a switch panel there in the future.

 

Here you go.

 

They just have to be oriented to the direction of travel and +\- 20° from level.

 

Again, no. 360° as per Tekonsha manual.

Unless you meant level side to side.

 

What you all are thinking of is level side to side and with the direction of travel, which mine is.

 

20° from level, meaning side to side or horizontal. We're just talking about degrees in different planes. I have mine mounted in the same spot in my 2nd gen.

 

Yup I got ya!

 

That's not true.
According to the install manual:
The Prodigy P2 can be mounted from 0 degrees to 360 degrees vertically in the direction of travel. (See Diagram for Mounting the Prodigy P2).

 

Cool thanks. Learned something new

 

You forgot to read the rest of the posts. It's all good though.

 

They type faster than I do...

 

On my phone?

 

I took my 17 TRD OR, with towing package to the rv trailer dealer to have brakes installed and had a problem. The controller would work from the base unit, but would not work when you applied the brakes. Anyone else heard of this problem
