• Installing an Electric Brake Controller in a 2007 Chevrolet Uplander with Tow Package
  From my research your 2007 Chevrolet Uplander does not have the wiring for a 7-way trailer connector or a brake controller already installed. So the # 3015-P will not work for you. In order to install a brake controller, like the Prodigy P2 # 90885 you'll need to hardwire it under your dash using our # ETBC7 kit. I've linked a video showing you this process on a 2006 Uplander. It's a different brake controller but the process will be the same. You'll also need a 4-way trailer connector...

  For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup.

• Prodigy P2 Brake Controller Showing N.C. When Connected to Electric Over Hydraulic Brakes
  N.C. means "no connection" which is most likely being caused by your P2 not being set into hydraulic mode.

First, Enter Reverse Mode by pressing the Boost Button for 5 seconds while the brake pedal is pressed until [ .r ] displayed. While continuing to have the brake pedal pressed, momentarily release the Boost Button for less...

The P3 also has the added advantage of being compatible with electric over hydraulic braking systems....

• Wiring a 2003 Chevrolet Kodiak C-5500 for a Brake Controller with Factory Style Wiring Harness
  When wiring the red brake switch wire on the brake controller you should use a circuit tester to determine the wire that goes hot only when the brake pedal is pressed. If you find a wire that has voltage on it before the brake pedal is pressed and then gets brighter when the brake pedal is pressed that is the wrong circuit and should not be used. If your Kodiak has the prewired connector under the dash for the Tekonsha Wire Replacement for GM Vehicles, 2003 - 2006, then this should be...
