I am buying a dual axle trailer to tow my Kubota (with my 2008 Dodge 4 x 4 pickup Hemi) , and it will have one axle with electric brakes . I have a old Tekonsha Brake Controller I used in the 1980's to tow a travel trailer. I have saved and have not used it for almost 30 years , it has the typical four wires, one red, blue, white , black.
I see Tekonsha is still in the Brake Controller business (eg Prodigy units etc) All seem to still have those same four wires. Does anyone see anything risk in my buying the plug and play wiring harness for my Dodge and just joining the same colours together and then plugging it into my brake plug under the dash like the plug and play wiring harness will tell me ?
Although the brake controller is old , it has all the similar features and I remember how I set the brake sensitivity like before. A new unit in Canada is $140 , bucks plus plug and play wiring harness $29.
I figure what can wear out .......was dry in the garage where it was stored , it is solid state , only marking on it is Tekonsha 12-85...thoughts anyone , anyone still using a controller that old ???
