Question:
One other question. Is there a Custom Brake Controller Wiring Adapter available for a 1999 GMC K1500 Suburban to use with the Tekonsha P3 Proportional Controller? Or, does the Suburban need to be hard-wired? Thank You.....

Expert Reply:
You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # 118315.
From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product as well.
For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller part # 90195. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup.
