Tekonsha 3026-P Brake Control Wiring Adapter
Tekonsha 3026-P Brake Control Wiring Adapter — Product description
The Tekonsha 3026-P is the plug-in wiring adapter that lets you drop a brake controller into a 2008 Buick Enclave, GMC Acadia, or Saturn Outlook without cutting a single wire. Two plugs, one keyed connector, done in minutes.
If you're adding a Tekonsha brake controller to a 2008 Buick Enclave, GMC Acadia, or Saturn Outlook, this is the connector that saves you from ever touching a wire. The 3026-P is a plug-in adapter that mates straight to the factory brake-control connector already tucked under your dash. That turns the whole install from an afternoon of splicing into a five-minute plug.
Here's how it works. These GM crossovers came pre-wired for a brake controller from the factory. Somewhere behind the lower dash panel there's a sealed connector waiting for you. The 3026-P plugs into that connector on one end and into your Tekonsha controller's pigtail on the other. Two plugs, no separate adapter harness, no test light, no guessing which wire does what.
It works with the full Tekonsha brake control lineup, so whatever controller you've picked, this adapter speaks its language. You get clean signal on the brake output, ground, stoplight, and battery lines, all through one keyed connector that can't go in backward.
Why bother with the plug-in route instead of hardwiring? Because hardwiring means finding four wires, matching them right, and hoping you didn't nick the insulation. Get it wrong and your trailer brakes either drag or don't grab when you need them. The 3026-P takes that risk off the table. It's the difference between towing with confidence and second-guessing every stop down a grade.
This is the genuine Tekonsha part, packaged in a clamshell, so what you order is exactly what shows up. No loose ends, no mystery pigtails to sort out.
One thing to check before you order: make sure your vehicle actually has the factory tow-package wiring. Most Enclave, Acadia, and Outlook models from that year came with it, but a base trim without the tow prep won't have the connector to plug into. If you're not sure, send us your VIN and we'll confirm the fit for you.

Frequently asked questions
How does this adapter hook up a Tekonsha brake controller?
It plugs into the factory brake-control connector under the dash on one end and into your Tekonsha controller's pigtail on the other. No wire cutting, no test light, no splicing. Two plugs and you're wired in.
Do I still need this if my vehicle already has a 7-pin connector at the hitch?
Yes. A 7-pin connector at the back is for the trailer plug. It doesn't power a brake controller on its own. This adapter connects the controller to the vehicle's dedicated brake-control wiring up front.
Which vehicles does the 3026-P fit?
It's built for the 2008 Buick Enclave, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook that came with the factory tow-package wiring. If your trim didn't come tow-prepped, the connector won't be there to plug into. Send us your VIN if you want us to check.
Will it work with any Tekonsha brake controller?
It's made for the full Tekonsha brake control lineup, so whichever Tekonsha controller you run, this adapter matches it.
Where is the brake controller connector in these vehicles?
It's a sealed connector tucked behind the lower dash panel on the driver's side, put there at the factory for exactly this purpose. Once you find it, the 3026-P plugs right in.
