Today on our 2011 Chevy Silverado, well be installing the Tekonsha brake controller 90195. So, our first step will be to locate the manufacturers wiring that will be connecting our brake controller wiring. Here above the brake pedal is the manufacturers wiring outside of any wiring loom. Youll notice therell be five wires as in orange, which we will not be using, the dark blue which will be our brake signal that will go to our seven poll, a light blue wire which will be the brake pedal signal, a red wire with a black tracer which will our power wire and then a white wire which will be our ground. Ill go ahead and cut some of the excess length off, as we will not need at all. Now well go ahead and strip back each one and a butt connector.
Now with that done we can go ahead and start connecting them to our pigtail that will route to our brake controller. Again, we will have the dark from the manufacturer to the dark blue on our brake controller pigtail. Then well connect the two grounds, which will both be white also. Next, connect our manufacturers blue wire with the red wire to our brake controller pigtail. Then well take the red wire, the black tracer from the manufacturers side and connect it with the black wire, which will be our power wire to our brake controller.
Now to clean up my install link Im going to go ahead and take some black electric tape and wrap up our new wiring harness. Now lets go ahead and set that aside and mount the brake controller. Well be using the self-tapping screws provided with our install kit. With that, done we can go ahead and mount the brake controller in out brake with the screws provided with our install kit. With that, done we will now go ahead and take our brake controller lead and plug it into the back of the brake controller.
Next, we will need to move under the hood of the vehicle. There are several poly wires that will need to be connected. The first is located on the main wiring harness that leads down underneath the break master cylinder and brake booster. Its a red wire that is taped to the outside of the wiring harness. Next, well go ahead and remove the cover in our fuse box.
Between our fuse box and the fender-well theres another power wire that will need to be cut away from the manufacturers harness. Holding these two up you can see the ring terminal sizes are slightly different. They will be attaching to each of these posts like this. Now lets go ahead and attach our terminals and tighten them down. With that, done I will go ahead and take a couple of zip ties to secure my wiring. Now we can go ahead and reinstall the fuse box cover. With that, that will complete the installation of our Tekonsha brake controller part number 90195 on our 2011 Chevy Silverado.
