VE Commodore Brake Controller

I have fitted prodigys to many VE's. Apart from the mandatory trailer plug wiring module (use a genuine kit, not HR), there are no issues with connecting a 4 wire brake controller. Blue to pin 5, red to pin 6, black to battery + via a circuit breaker, white to battery neg. DO NOT connect into the brake light switch like some people suggest, run the blue and red either to the trailer base plug or to the 2 pin plug that is available out of the module (behind the drivers side panel in the boot). There is plenty of room behind the battery compartment to mount a circuit breaker, the panel is double skinned. All wires can easily be concealed under the drivers side kick panels and then up under the dash.

Dunaruna,

Thanks for the advice, I'm going to give it a go this weekend.

One thing I forgot to ask in my original post was is it also possible to fit an Anderson plug to power the caravan battery while under way. Obviously, no power should be generated through this wire when the engine is not running.

Yep, no problem with fitting an anderson plug circuit. There are 2 ways you can use to protect the car battery, a 50 amp relay that is excited by ignition hot or a voltage sensing relay. I prefer the latter and I prefer to use BEP brand but there are plenty of choices on the market. I usually fit a 12.5v cutout.

If you are searching for an ignition hot wire, there is one in the battery compartment, it is taped up (not used) in the loom about 6" above the negative terminal. I don't know what it's purpose is in the scheme of things so I'm hesitant to suggest you use it.
