Trailer Wiring Diagram and Installation Help - Towing 101

If your Prodigy P2 brake controller is flashing 00 and .c, it could indicate an error with the brake controller's connection to the trailer or the brake controller itself. Here are a few things to check:

1. Verify Connection: Check that the brake controller is properly connected to the trailer's electrical system. Make sure the trailer plug is firmly seated in the brake controller and the tow vehicle's connector. Ensure the pins and sockets are clean and free of corrosion.
2. Check Brake Controller Settings: Verify that the brake controller is properly set up for your specific trailer's weight and braking system. Refer to the brake controller manual for the recommended settings.
3. Check Trailer Brakes: Verify that the trailer's braking system is functioning properly. Check the brake drums and shoes for wear and damage, and make sure the brake adjustment is correct.
4. Check Wiring and Fuses: Check all wiring connections between the brake controller and the trailer, as well as the tow vehicle's wiring and fuses. Make sure all wiring connections are tight and secure, and that all fuses are intact.

If you have checked these items and are still experiencing issues, it may be necessary to take your vehicle and trailer to a certified mechanic or dealership for further diagnosis and repair. The hot brake smell from the car brakes could indicate that the trailer brakes are not functioning correctly and that the tow vehicle's brakes are doing most of the work, which can lead to overheating and brake fade.

Does your Durango have a trailer hitch/receiver and trailer wiring harness? Is it original equipment or aftermarket? Has your Check Engine or Service Engine Soon light come on recently? If so, read the error code(s) stored in the onboard computer. You may have a physical wiring problem or a circuitry problem. I think your Durango has relays (fuse-protected) associated with your brake lights. Check our owner's manual for the location of these relays and verify that they are working properly. If so, start checking the trailer wiring harness.

check for broken or loose wires in plug and what you plug it into. Check the wiring is correct.

Hi Frank,
I have a Durango 2000 and pull a 24 foot ski boot loaded with equipment. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't try towing anything without the trailer brakes connected. I purchased the Titan Trailer brakes setup and they've never failed me once. The hitch: just make sure you get the right towing capacity for your travel trailer. I have the 5.9 liter engine, which allows up to 6500 pounds of towing capacity. Your owners guide will explain how many based on engine size.
Good Luck, and happy traveling.

Are you installing a flat 4, or other connector? Before we go too much further, I can tell you how to splice wires to what etc, but are you aware that they sell an adapter plug, that you just plug in to your current wiring harness, like a "T" shape, and simply plug your trailer into it? Sure makes it easy, as well as removable if you want to remove it after.

They came with factory installed towing harnesses. No need to install aftermarket stuff. The harness is in the left(driver side} rear panel. All you need to do is plug it in.

Check fuses first. Then try http://www.etrailer.com/faq-wiring.aspx. This should help. Mike
