In order to install a trailer brake controller on a 2002 GMC Safari you will need to hardwire it to the vehicle. First, you will need a 4-Way trailer connector, # 18252 if you do not already have one. I have included a link to a video showing a typical installation.
With the 4-Way installed you will then need to install a 4 and 7 Way Installation Kit, # ETBC7. The 4-Way plugs into the back and all of the wiring and circuit breakers are included to install the brake controller. It will provide a 7-Way and 4-Way connector at the rear.
I have included links to an FAQ article and a video showing a typical installation of an ETBC7 for you to view.
If you need a brake controller, I recommend the Tekonsha P2, # 90885. It is one of our best sellers because it is easy to set up and easy to use. I have included a link to the installation details for you.
