• Brake Controller Recommendation for 1999 Chevy Silverado
  
• The correct brake controller harness for your 1999 Chevy Silverado is the part # 3025-P. Which for an economically priced brake controller that will still work great the best option is the Tekonsha Voyager part # 39510 as it is a proportional controller. Proportional means that it can sense the amount of braking your truck will be doing and will apply the same intensity to the trailer's brakes.

• Where Is Brake Controller Install Harness for 2001 Chevy Silverado 3500
  
• While it looks like you are pretty close to finding the correct port for installing a brake controller in your 2001 Chevy Silverado I attached a picture of where the install harness does plug in using a harness like the part # 3025-P.

• How to Install a Brake Controller on a 2002 Chevy Avalanche
  
• To install a brake controller, like the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195, on your 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche you will simply need the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter # 3025-P. The adapter will connect to a port that is in the electric junction box which is beneath your driver side dash (see attached pictures). If you do not have a brake controller already I highly recommend the P3 due to how easy it is to install and use. You will also need to install the Hopkins Replacement Custom Multi-Tow...

• Can Factory Brake Controller of 2007 GMC Sierra 2500HD be Bypassed without Dash Codes
  
• If you bypass the factory brake controller in your 2007 GMC Sierra 2500HD properly you would not have any error codes appear on the dash display. You also would not have to have the computer of the truck reprogrammed in any way which means you don't have to make a special trip to a dealer. To see exactly how to do this check out the help article I linked on this page. It will walk you through the entire process. It's basically a few wiring connections that need to be made under the dash...

• Parts Needed To Use Brake Controller With 2002 Cadillac Escalade To Tow Trailer
  
• I am happy to help you setup your vehicle to tow a trailer with brakes however the Draw-Tite Activator Trailer Brake Controller # 5100 is only the brake controller to power the brakes on your trailer. The 2002 Cadillac Escalade will still need a 7-way plug on the vehicle to connect to the trailer. If the Cadillac has a factory package, you can use Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package part # C55774 to plug right into the factory towing harness. If the Cadillac...

• Installing a 7-way Trailer Connector for an Electric Brake Controller on a 2001 Chevrolet Silverado
  
• The wires for a 7-way connector should be under the rear of your 2001 Chevrolet Silverado already. Use a circuit tester, like # 40376, and test the wires for their function. Then you can install a 7-way like # PK11898. Or if you wish to keep the 4-way and add a 7-way use # 37185. Then you can install an electric brake controller like the Prodigy P3 # 90195 using the wiring adapter # 3025-P.

• No Power on Red Brake Controller Wire when Brake Pedal Pressed on a 2013 Toyota Tundra
  
• The wiring harness you should be using on your 2013 Toyota Tundra is # 3040-P. While it is unlikely it is wired incorrectly it is possible. You can use your test light to test the connector on the vehicle (where 3040-P plugs into) and see if it has power when you step on the brake pedal. If it does then check to see if the red wire is connected in the corresponding location in the harness. If not you can move it. If there is no power then there is something amiss on the vehicle side...

• How Does Auto-Leveling Capability Simplify Installation of a Trailer Brake Controller
  
• The Tekonsha Voyager Proportional Trailer Brake Controller # 39510 will install in a 2002 GMC Sierra (if it is equipped with a factory 7-way) using quick-connect wiring adapter # 3025-P, which plugs in under the dash as shown in the linked video at the 4:54 mark. A brake controller that offers automatic leveling, such as the Prodigy P3 # 90195, does not require that the mounting position be exactly straight in order for it to operate properly. The Voyager does require that it is mounted...

• Hitch and Brake Controller for 2000 GMC Sierra 3500 Pickup
  
• The 2000 model year was a split year for GMC pickups so checking hitch fits can be tricky. Curt Class V hitch # C15400 fits only the cab-and-chassis versions from 2001 forward; it does not fit your 2000 GMC Sierra 3500 pickup. If your 2000 Sierra pickup has a 10-inch deep-drop bumper you can use Curt Class V hitch # C15317. If it has a standard or step bumper you can use Class V hitch # C15325. If your Sierra has a factory 7-way you can install a trailer brake controller like the...

• Hardwired Brake Controller Installation in 2001 GMC SIerra 1500
  
• You will need to test each of those six wires at the brake light switch, with a tester like # 40376, to find the one wire that goes hot ONLY when the brake pedal is pressed and not at any other time or with any other vehicle function activated. This wire delivers the brake signal that tells the controller to generate output and it connects to the controller's red input wire. On your truck this is likely to be a white wire. We show that there should be a brake controller connection port...

• Brake Controller Installation on a 1999 Chevy C3500 Pickup Truck
  
• On a 1999 Chevy C3500 there will NOT be a brake controller port to plug in a brake controller. The brake controller has to be hardwired into the truck. Chevy did not start putting in a port until they switched the trucks from C or K to Silverado. Prior to that Silverado was just a trim option. I have included a link to a video that will help. It shows installation on a 1996 C/K series truck. Installation will be basically identical on your 1999 model. If your truck already has a 7-Way...

• Trailer Brake Controller Wiring Harness for a 2001 Chevy Suburban 2500
  
• If your 2001 Chevy Suburban 2500 came with a factory installed 7-Way trailer connector then you can use brake controller wiring harness # 3025-P with the P2 controller # 90885. There may be some additional connections you will need to make under the hood to make everything fully functional. I have included a link to an FAQ article that will help. If your Suburban did not come with the factory 7-Way you will need to add one using # 30955. The connector to plug this 7-Way into is located...

• Installing an Electric Trailer Brake Controller on a 2001 Chevy Silverado
  
• On the 2001 Chevy Silverado, there should be a port, located in the electrical junction box on the driver side to the left of the brake pedal. Inside, you will need the port second from the left on the top row. You would use brake controller wiring harness # 3025-P. One end plugs into the Tekonsha Prodigy P2, # 90885, and the other end plugs into that port. There may also be some connections that will need to be made to make the brake controller and 7-Way trailer connector fully functional....

• Brake Controller and Wiring Adapter for a 2002 Chevy Suburban
  
• Although your friends Suburban might be equipped with the factory tow package, the package did not include a brake controller like it sometimes does in later models. A controller will need to be installed. Not to worry, though. Installing a controller will be simple. If he does not already have a controller, I would recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P2, part # 90885. The wiring adapter, part # 3025-P will also be needed. One end of the adapter would plug into the rear of the P2, the other...

• Will a Brake Controller Work with a Factory Installed 6-Way Trailer Connector on a Chevy Silverado
  
• A factory 6-Way is certainly not all that common but it will have a brake output circuit and plugging in a brake controller will work. But there may be some connections that you will need to make under the hood to make everything fully functional. I have included a link to our FAQ article that covers the under hood connections that you will need to perform if they are not completed already. Please note that on a 6-Way trailer connector there are 2 ways that it could be wired. The center...

• Installing a Brake Controller on a 2001 GMC Sierra 1500 with Factory 7-Way Trailer Connector
  
• Since your 2001 GMC Sierra came with a factory installed 7-way trailer connector, GM should have already completed the connections under the hood at the fuse box. However, we have found that GM did not complete the wiring on all trucks, even if they came with the factory trailer wiring. If you plug in your brake controller using a plug-in style wiring harness, like part # 3025-P for Tekonsha brake controllers, and the brake controller does not power on, then the wiring under the hood...

• There are some connections under the hood that will need to be made to complete the installation of the Tekonsha P2 Brake Controller # 90885 with Wiring Harness, # 3025-P. Once you have plugged in the # 3025-P harness into the port to the left of the brake pedal, you can make the connections under the hood. Locate the power distribution box. There will be a bracket on the driver side near the windshield that will need to be removed. Remove the bracket and power distribution box cover....

• Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Only Works with Manual Override on a 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
  
• It sounds like there is an issue with the stop light switch connection on the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90195 in your 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD. The most common problem that causes this connection issue is a blown Center High Mounted Stop Lamp (CHMSL) fuse which is in the engine bay fuse block. If you are using a hard wire harness then check your connection to the stop light switch wire attached to the cold side of the brake pedal or the one that only gets...

• No Power on Brake Controller Red Wire
  
• What is the year, make, and model of the vehicle? The red brake controller wire should only be getting power when you step on the brake pedal. If you are not getting any power on that wire with the brake pedal depressed then you may have it attached to the wrong brake switch wire (if it is hardwired into the vehicle), the red wire is in the wrong location in the plug (if it is a plug in application) or you have a blown stop light or CHMSL fuse. I would need to know the year, make, and...

• Recommended Brake Controller and Wiring Adapter for a 2001 Chevy Tahoe
  
• If the trailer has electric brakes, you will need a brake controller to actuate them. GM didn't start offering a factory brake controller until a few years later. I would recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P2, part # 90885. The Prodigy P2 is one of our best selling brake controllers, because it is very easy to operate. You will also need the Brake Controller Wiring Adapter, part # 3025-P that would allow the controller to plug into the port located in the junction box under the dash. We...

• Need a 7-Way Trailer Connector for 2000 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Without Factory 7-Way
  
• Thank you for submitting a photo of your vehicle wiring. Your 2000 Chevrolet Silverado pickup should have a trailer wiring harness at the rear bumper. This harness is often tucked in behind the spare tire or zip-tied to other wiring or to the vehicle frame to keep it out of harms way until needed. Please note that in 2000 Chevrolet produced both C/K series and Silverado pickups. The harness may be terminated with a round plug that would fit into the back of the Pollak 7- and 4-way connector...

• Recommended Electric Brake Controller for a 2000 GMC Sierra 2500 Towing a Tandem Axle Travel Trailer
  
• The # 90885 Tekonsha P2 brake controller would actually be a great choice for your 2000 GMC Sierra. This unit is proportional, and works for up to 8 trailer brakes. You may have received a factory pigtail with your truck, usually stashed in the glove compartment. If so, you would only need the brake controller itself, as you would use this factory wiring, connected to the pigtail included with the P2, to plug the brake controller into your vehicle. The factory wiring might not match...

• Parts Needed to Add Electric Brakes to Trailer with 3,500 Pound Axles
  
• To answer your last question first the trailer has been towed with no brakes so even if you only add brakes to one axle it will be an improvement. Based on your measurements I'm thinking your inner bearings are # L68149 (1.378 inch diameter) and outer bearings are # L44649 (1.063 inch diameter). Very close to what you have but you'll want to double check like you mentioned. If these bearings are correct the hub and drum assembly for your trailer is # AKHD-545-35-K. If they're not...

You will also need the Brake Controller Wiring Adpater, part # 3015-P. One end of the Adapter plugs into the Prodigy, the other end plugs into the installation port located on the firewall behind the emergency brake pedal. For your convenience, I will provide a link to our GM Truck Brake Controller Install Guide. This...

• Ease of Installation of a Weight Distribution System with Sway Control on a Jayco 22FB Trailer
  
• Installing a weight distribution system with sway control, like the Reese Strait-Line Weight Distribution systems is not all that difficult. I actually feel that if you installed it yourself you would have a better working knowledge of the system and how to properly set it up and use it, because your trailer weight and the weight behind the rear axle in your tow vehicle may change over time and the system will need adjustment. The proper weight distribution system should be selected...

• Trailer Brake Controller Wiring Harness for a 2003 Chevy Silverado
  
• It sounds as if you might have the wrong wiring adapter. The wiring adapter for the 2002 and 2003 Silverado will fit either vehicle, but the order in which the pins are wired is different. Therefore if you have the incorrect one, it will still plug in, but will not work correctly. For the 2003, you would need part # 3015-P, not the 3025-P which is for the 2002. This can easily be verified by using a circuit tester like part # 40376 on the red wire exiting the rear of the controller....
