• Red Wire Pin Location on Hopkins Brake Controller Harness for Chevy/GMC Trucks
  
• The red wire is not supposed to be in the block on the harness when it is packaged. Hopkins leaves this last wire out so that the same part can be used for multiple model years. The end user needs to determine which slot it belongs in before the brake controller is hooked up. The pin location for a 2006 is different than for a 2002. For your 2006 model, the red wire should be in pin location D as shown in Fig. 4 of the directions that were shipped with the harness. Since you had inserted the

• Hopkins Impulse Brake Controller Wiring Harness Recommendation for 2010 Chevy Silverado 1500
  
• You can use the Hopkins Plug-in Simple Brake Wiring Adapter, # HM47795, but you will need to clip off the vehicle side connector (larger brown square plug) and hardwire the wires to your 2010 Chevy Silverado. The 2010 Silverado does not have a port to plug the brake controller adapter into, but it does have a bundle of brake controller wires under the dash. The bundle will be below the steering column, to the left of the brake pedal, tied together with tape. The tape may have the tow package

• Hopkins Brake Controller Wired and Installed but no Power on a 2009 GMC Sierra
  
• There are some wires in the engine bay that need to be connected to complete the system. They provide power to the unit. There are a couple of wires, one is usually red and tucked on the side of the power distribution box, the other is usually black and can be found under the brake master cylinder. They need to be connected to the power posts on the power distribution box. I have added a link to an FAQ article we have that walks through the process, with photos.

• Will Hopkins Brake Control Wiring Adapter # HM47795 Fit a 2007 Chevy With the Factory Tow Package
  
• In 2007, Chevrolet stopped putting a plug on their factory brake control wiring, so you will not be able to install a brake controller by plugging it in. Instead, you have a factory wiring harness bundled underneath your dash. The wire colors should be red with a black tracer, white, light blue with a white tracer, dark blue. You may also have an orange wire for a center high mount stop lamp function, but this would not be used for a brake controller installation. If you already have a p

• Brake Wire Location For the Hopkins Agility Plug In Wiring on a 2001 Chevrolet Tahoe Z71
  
• The first thing you should do is make sure that the red wire on the Plug-in Simple Brake Wiring Adapter, item # HM47795, is connected to the correct port in the connector. For your 2001 Chevy Tahoe Z71 you will need to insert the red wire into slot A. This slot is the top left slot, with the blue locking tab up and the connector facing away from you, see photo at right. If your brake controller comes on when the headlights are turned on you definitely have the red wire in the wrong location.

• What Do I Need to Install a Brake Controller on my 1992 Chevy Silverado
  
• The 1992 Chevy C/K Series 1500 did not come with a port for a brake controller. Instead, you will need to hard wire the brake controller by first installing a 4-Way, # 118315, and then installing a 7 and 4 Way Installation Kit, # ETBC7. If the Truck already has a 4-Way, then you will not need the 118315. I have included a link to the installation details and a video below showing installation of an ETBC7 kit. If your truck already has a functioning 7-Way, you can use a length of wire # 10-1-1

• Installation of Brake Controller on a 1999 GMC Yukon
  
• The 1999 GMC Yukon will not have a brake controller plug-in port under the dash. To install a brake controller on your vehicle you will need to hardwire the brake controller with the Brake Controller 7 and 4 Way Installation Kit, part # ETBC7. To install the # ETBC7 kit you will need to have a 4-Way connector at the rear of your vehicle. If you need to install a 4-Way connector you can use the Tow Ready T-One Wiring Harness, part # 118319.

• How Could I Add Length to the Hopkins Plug-in Simple Brake Wiring Adapter, part # HM47795
  
• At this time we do not offer a Hopkins Plug-In Simple Brake Wiring Harness that would be longer in length than the # HM47795 that you referenced. You could add length to the wires by cutting them and then using quick splice Connector, part # 564, to splice in as much length of wires that you would desire.

• How to Wire a CHMSL on a Cap/Camper Shell on a 2010 Chevy Silverado 1500
  
• Yes, the orange wire that you found in the bundle of wires near the brake pedal is the correct wire to use as the power wire for the light on your canopy. You are also correct about the white wire being the ground wire. You will also have to connect the two wires under your hood so your tow package will be functional before the center high mount stop light will function on your 2010 Chevy 1500. I attached an FAQ article on how this is done for you to check out.

• Location of a Dedicated Brake Light Wire for a Camper Shell on a 2009 GMC Sierra Duramax 3500
  
• You can find a dedicated brake light wire under the dash, below the steering column to the left and above the brake pedal. This wire is normally used for a brake controller. There will actually be a bundle of wires held together with white tape. The tape should have the functions of the wires on it. The wire you need is most likely a light blue wire. Test it with a circuit tester, like # 3808, to be sure it is the correct wire. It should show ONLY show a signal when the brake pedal is pressed.

• Brake Controller Wiring Harness Port and Installing a 7-Way Trailer Connector, 2001 Chevy Silverado
  
• I can help you with the parts you will need and where to install them.

Starting with a brake controller, you will want to plug in the wiring harness under the dash behind an electrical junction box cover to the left of the brake pedal. The brake controller wiring harness will plug into the empty spot on the top row, second from the lef

• Will Hopkins Plug-in Simple Brake Controller Wiring Harness # HM47795 fit a 2009 Chevy Traverse
  
• There are brake controller wiring harnesses available that will fit a 2009 Chevy Traverse with a factory tow package, but I spoke with Hopkins and they stated that wiring harness # HM47795 will not fit. For a wiring harness and brake controller that will fit, I recommend the Tekonsha P2 and Wiring Harness, # 90885-3026P. It is one of our best selling brake controllers because it is easy to set up and easy to use. I have included a link to the installation details for you to view.

• No Power to the Brake Controller Wires Under the Dash on 2010 Chevrolet Silverado
  
• General Motors quit offering the plug-in type connectors on 2007 and newer full size trucks and SUVs with a factory tow package. These models have four (possibly five) blunt cut wires under the left side of the instrument panel to the left of the steering column. The wires can be identified by a white label and the color of the wires. The wire colors are (1) Red/Black wire, (1) White wire, (1) Light Blue/White wire and (1) Dark Blue wire and possibly (1) Orange wire. There are two wires under

• Troubleshooting Bizarre Trailer Brake and Tail Light Behavior on a 2005 Chevy Avalanche
  
• It sounds like there are some major wiring issues on your truck and trailer. Everything you described implies that all of the circuits have the wrong wires run to them either on the trailer or your truck. It sounds like the brake output circuit on the trailer is connected to the reverse light circuit, center pole in the 7-Way trailer side connector and that is why the trailer brakes lock when your 2009 Chevy Avalanche is shifted into reverse. It also sounds like there are other wiring issues

• A plug-in brake controller wiring harness is not available for the 2005 Chevy Colorado.
