Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 2005 Chevrolet TrailBlazer

Today we're working on a 2005 Chevy TrailBlazer. We're going to install the Tekonsha P-3 Brake Controller, product number 90195. Our first step is to remove the lower kick panel. There are several fasteners that will have to be removed. Ok, with our kick panel lowered we need to locate the manufacturer's wiring that we're going to connect to. This white tag is the indicator that we're looking for and then you can see the taped off ends here taped up to the manufacturer's harness.

Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer

Today on this 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer with factory installed tow package we are going to be installing the Tekonsha P3 brake controller part number 90195. The first thing I want to note before we do our installation is what exactly the factory 7-pole looks like on the back of the Trailblazer that is going to indicate whether or not this vehicle has the wires underneath the dash to hook the brake controller into. Looking at the rear bumper area here you can see the factory installed 7-pole is kind of underneath mounted at an angle and again it is mounted to the factory hitch as well. On the lid itself there is the GM logo printed on it, that is a kind of cut and dry indicator right there as well. If you have the factory 7-pole you will have the wires under the dash to hook your brake controller to, if you do not you are likely going to have to do a manual hardwire of the brake controller and you will need to purchase some other components. 00:50

Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer

Today on this 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer we are going to install the Prodigy P2 brake controller part number 90885. The first step is to get access to the wire harness itself. There is a plastic trim panel right here along this edge that goes toward the front of the vehicle. There are two screws here and here that we have to remove so you can take it down and out of the way to get to the wire harness. From here it should just unsnap. Over here on the far left is the wires for the brake controller. They are taped up so you will probably have to pull them out a little and we have our four wires. 00:43

Chevrolet Trailblazer Brake Controller Questions and Answers

• Display of the Draw-Tite Activator II Brake Controller When Not Connected to a Trailer
  
• The Draw-Tite Activator II Brake Controller, # 5500, will not display numbers under any function when the trailer is not connected. You should only see a single decimal on the display. Check out the video that I made showing you how the brake controller should function without a trailer connected. If you do not have any signal on the display, then there could be an electrical issue that is preventing power from reaching the brake controller. If this is the case, I would recommend using a cir

• Trailer Brake Controller Installation on a 2008 Chevy Trailblazer with Factory Tow Package Wiring
  
• We actually have a video of the Tekonsha P2, # 90885, being installed on a 2006 Chevy TrailBlazer that has the same wire colors as your 2008. They have found that the dark blue wire will connect to the brake controller blue wire for output to the 7-Way trailer connector. The orange wire should be the 12 volt power from the battery. You can use a circuit tester like # 3808 to be sure. It connects to the brake controller black wire. It provides power for the controller. The light blue wire

• Troubleshooting a Tekonsha Primus Brake Controller Displaying 0.0 and Not Braking
  
• It sounds like there might be some other fuses that could have blown, or there are some shorts on your brake controller/7-way circuits. It is hard to know exactly where the problem lies, but the first thing I would check would be to test the manual override lever when the trailer is connected and see if it will apply the trailer brakes. If it does have voltage then I would check to make sure brake switch circuit (red wire) sees voltage when the brakes are applied. If not, then you have locate

• How Does Prodigy RF Electronic Brake Controller # 90250 Know When To Send Power To Trailer Brake
  
• If you have a newer Trailblazer with the tow package there should be a total of 2 wires that you will need to connect; both wires should be red/black with eyelets on the end. One wire is located between the fuse box and driver side fender, the other should be located under the brake master cylinder. On the driver side, remove the fuse box cover, there will be 2 threaded studs that are different sizes, the wires which have different sized eyelets will connect to the corresponding studs using M6 N

• What is Needed to Install Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller on a 2008 Chevrolet Trailblazer
  
• Since your Trailblazer has the factory installed towing package, you will need no additional parts to install your Tekonsha Prodigy P2. The brake controller would wire directly to the tow package wiring located under the dash, which can be accessed by lowering the panel directly below the steering column. The tow package wires are taped to the wiring harness to the left. The red and white tow package wire attaches to the black wire on the the brake controller, the black tow package wire atta
