    Hey everyone, I just got my truck and want to install a Tow Pro brake controller -- probably the Liberty version. I've looked around and can't quite figure out the right wire harness to get. Is there one that works, or do you have to get one for another type of unit, and splice wires?

    Any info would be much appreciated!

    I just installed the tow pro liberty a few weeks ago. You need the tph-15 harness, and the tpsi-002 button insert. If you choose the Liberty over the elite you should know that only the elite model comes with a universal harness you can splice in to. The Liberty doesn't include any harness, just buy the custom harness I listed to go with it and it plugs right in.

    Thank you very much to both of you!!! I’m so glad to know there is a solution where there are plugs at both end — will save a lot of time with no splicing!
