Okay guys. I am as stupid about electrical wiring as you can get. If there was an "Brake Controller for Dummies". I would buy it. I need your help.
I purchased a Prodigy brake controller for my truck and I'm trying to install it, but the colours don't match. I knew that going in, but I figured I would be able to decipher it. Well I can't. Here's what the instructions from the harness in the glove box says:
Wire it just like the harness says, but forget about the Red/Blue - Trailer Brake Controller Illumination, it isn't used on the Prodigy....great controller, I have one.
"Red/Green" - on the harness goes to "Red - Stoplight" on the Prodogy.
"Black - Brake Controller Ground (-)" on the harness goes to "White - Ground" on the Prodogy.
"Red - Fused Trailer Brake Controller Battery Feed (B+)" on the harness goes to "Black - +12 Volts" on the Prodogy.
"Brown/White - Trailer Brake Controller Switched Output" on the harness goes to "Blue - Trailer Brakes" on the Prodogy.
You won't be using the "Red/Blue - Trailer Brake Controller Illumination" on the harness so, just cap it off using elec. tape.
Thanks! I knew you guys would come through. I only had to wait 10 minutes for the answer and it only took me 5 more minutes to install. I'm on my way out to take pictures. Thanks again!
You should have the connector tucked up under the dash above the parking brake pedal. I just installed the Prodigy this morning in mine using the Nissan pigtail, and it took about 10 minutes to do everything. I think all Titans have the connector.
I am also having trouble installing my Prodigy. I have the wires lined up correctly:
Nissan --------- Prodigy
Harness -------- Harness
Red ---------- Black
Red/Green ----- Red
Black ---------- White
Brown/White --- Blue
I get no power to the controller. The (Red - Black) wire should have 12V, but it has 0. The (Red/Green - Red) wire has voltage when I hit the brakes. Does anyone know which fuse would control the (Red - Black) wire? Or does anyone have another suggestion?
I'm afraid that I don't know what you are refering to. I have a 2005 SE CC with the Big Tow, Off-Road, and Convenience packages. This is my first aftermarket add on. Someone who drives a Chevy told me that he had the same problem. He looked under the hood and there wasn't a fuse. He said that it came from the factory that way. From reading other posts I was under the impression that this install was literaly a plug and play (yes I know that you have to set the Prodigy up for the truck/trailer combo). Another thing, I didn't have the trailer hooked up when I was installing the controller. I don't think that this should make a difference.
There are two towing relays located in the relay panel just behind the battery. If you have big tow they should be there already.
I'm suggesting that the relay may have gone bad if you don't see any other options or suggestions.
Why not buy the adapter from Teconsha and be done with it? No wiring issues at all, plug and play.
They had one for the Expedition I traded in and they have one for the Titan now. No direct wiring needed.
Yeah, you should get one. Give your dealer a call and have them get you one. Start with your sales person, they'll usually hook you up on stuff like that.
I have a very very early Titan. Mine didn't come with the harness, but after giving Nissan a hard time about it, I got one RIGHT AWAY and I understand that all BT models come with one now.
My SE KC came with one. But I found it in the oddest place...in the door pocket in the back door on the driver's side. I would have thought it would be in the glove box or in the console compartment. Go figure.
The nissan harness and the diagram in the Prodigy instructions did not match for me. I when to Prodigy web site ane printed out the correct wiring instructions.
