Hey! I just installed a brake controller in my 2006 Tunda (First gen). My brake adapter was taped to the wall of the left side behind and to the left of the parking brake.
I bought the adapter on amazon and that Tekonsha brake controller and it works great. I did have to ground one of the wires (You'll see... it's a black one with a loop at the end) I just unscrewed a bare bolt to the frame down there and put it on there. No big deal.
The hardest part was there was almost no room to move down there.
It's plug n play, so good luck! Be sure to test it out before you go on the road! Much different with a brake controller.
Sorry, I should have clarified. I am referring to electric trailer brakes, controlled by a brake controller installed in the tow vehicle.
Example
The actual brake itself is a electric drum brake operated by an electromagnet, but I was more curious how the brake controller changes the amount of braking. If it is done via changing the voltage applied to the magnet, could this be replicated in a homemade controller?
I just put in a Tekonsha P3 and really like it. Mounted under the steering wheel by the center vent. Longest part of the install was running the wires to the trailer connection.
