Electric trailer brake controller install
 
:)Has anyone installed an electric brake controller in a JK?:?: It’s not that I cannot do it I’m Looking for a good place to mount the controller and connect the wiring. There’s no sense in reinventing the wheel:hmm: if someone has done this, Thanks for any help pictures:photo: are very helpful. All my wiring to the rear and 7 way wiring is done just need to do the controller.
THANKS :thumbsup::2thumbs:

I'll post a better picture later...but if you look in the side view mirror reflection you can see where it's mounted on the dash. I struggled with where to mount it as well and this spot works out pretty well and is nice and accessible when driving.

:)Pix is good I'm headed out to the shop now to hold it up and see, The one that I have has a cup type holder so it can be removed when not in use.

it is always such a pain to add things in wranglers. I still can't decide on a CB location.

I used a 2-pin clip for the 2 brake connections, and a 12Vdc cigarette plug for power. When in use, I set it under the E-brake (nice and flat, doesn't move, fits perfectly). When not in use, it's sittin in the trailer :)

Works perfectly, and I didn't have to drill any holes in anything.

I like the way you think, After looking it needs to set near level and all the good places it sticks way out:naw: and then there's the wires, when not inuse they can be tucked under the console.:thumbsup:
