Key Features & Benefits

This cable's job is to connect your trailer brake controller – that’s the box you use inside your truck to adjust the brakes on your trailer – to your vehicle’s computer. It sends information back and forth. Specifically, it transmits data related to brake activation, diagnostic information, and allows you to adjust settings on the controller using software. It’s a data link, basically. Think of it like this: your trailer brake controller is the brain, and this USB cable is a nerve. It lets the controller “talk” to the vehicle’s computer to understand when you’re hitting the brakes and how hard. This communication is what allows the trailer brakes to work smoothly and in sync with your truck’s brakes. It’s how the controller knows what you want it to do.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Without this cable functioning properly, your trailer brake controller won't be able to communicate with the vehicle. You might get error messages, the controller might not adjust the trailer brakes correctly, or it might not work at all. That’s a big safety issue, obviously. You’ll notice if it's bad, usually by the controller not responding, or constantly showing an error. It’s a relatively inexpensive part, but replacing it can save you from a potentially dangerous situation. You can usually find these pretty easily - a good place to check is Fixparts Online, they’ve got a good selection.
