It ties your electric brake controller into the truck's factory tow wiring with no cutting and no splicing, and it bundles in a converter and a 7-way adapter so your trailer plug is ready to go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you tow with a 2013 Ram 1500 and you're adding an electric trailer brake controller, this is the harness that makes the job simple. The Tekonsha 30231-P plugs straight into the factory connector, so you skip the test light, the splices, and the guesswork. Match the plugs, tuck the wiring, and you're done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's what's in the kit. A plug-in wiring adapter, a converter, and a 7-way adapter, all packed together on a clamshell card. Tekonsha lists this as a 2-plug design, and it includes the 3023-P and 30232-P components. The 7-way adapter gets the trailer connector wired for lights and brakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy plug-in instead of hard-wired? Two reasons. First, it's faster. A hard-wire job on a modern truck can eat an afternoon once you're chasing wires behind the dash. This drops in. Second, it's cleaner and reversible. Nothing gets cut, so if you sell the truck or move the controller later, you just unplug it. That matters for keeping a factory harness intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis adapter is vehicle-specific to the 2013 Ram 1500, so check your truck and model year before you buy. It pairs with Tekonsha electric brake controllers, which is what most folks are running when they tow a boat trailer, a utility trailer, or a travel trailer with electric brakes. If your setup uses a Tekonsha proportional or time-based controller, this harness gives it the connection point it needs. Get the controller mounted, plug this in, and you've got smooth, responsive trailer braking without an afternoon spent under the dash with a wiring diagram.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne housekeeping note. Tekonsha has rolled this part into a new number, 30234-P. It's the same job, just an updated catalog number, so don't let the two designations throw you. And that's the whole story. It's a straightforward piece of towing gear that saves you an afternoon and keeps your truck's wiring the way the factory built it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug-in connection for the 2013 Ram 1500 factory tow wiring, no cutting or splicing required\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncludes a converter as part of the plug-in assembly for a clean tie-in to the truck\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e7-way adapter included, so the trailer connector is ready for lights and electric brakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-plug design bundling the 3023-P and 30232-P components\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt to pair with Tekonsha electric trailer brake controllers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClamshell-packaged kit with the parts needed for the wiring connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVehicle-specific fitment keeps the install fast and fully reversible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Tekonsha reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat vehicle does the Tekonsha 30231-P fit?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's a vehicle-specific brake control wiring adapter for the 2013 Ram 1500.
