Parts Needed To Install A Tekonsha Prodigy P3 In A 2023 Chevy Silverado 2500

Question

Question:

hey whats up I was given a Tekonsha P3 brake controller. They gave me just the controller itself no wiring or plug of any kind. I guess thats why I got such a good deal hah. Anyway I have a 2023 Chevy 2500 and I want to put this thing in there. I did locate and rectangular plug under the dash that I believe is for a brake controller. Do you have a plug that I can use?

Yes we have exactly what you need. All you will need is part # 3064-P. This will plug in to the back of the P3 controller # 90195, and the other end will plug in to the plug you found under the dash. It really is that easy. If all you have is the control box itself, you may want to get a new bracket # TK5906. This will have everything you need to securely mount the controller.
