To install the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller in your 2015 Chevrolet Express Van you will want to use the included universal pigtail wiring harness, # 20127, to hardwire install the brake controller.

Based on my research, even the 2015 Express Vans that have a factory 7-way do not have a brake controller port under the dash for a custom brake controller wiring harness.

If your van has the factory 7-way at the rear of the vehicle, there should be a blue brake output wire that is ran from the back of the vehicle to the front under the dash, near the emergency brake pedal. This blue wire will connect to the blue wire on the brake controller pigtail.

Some models will have the other wiring needed to connect the brake controller taped up and tucked under the driver's side floor mat, toward the firewall.

If this bundle of wires is not available in your van, you will want to splice the red wire from the brake controller pigtail to the wire at the back of the brake pedal that only has signal when the pedal is pressed. The black wire on the controller pigtail will need to be routed to a circuit breaker and then to the vehicle battery's positive terminal. The white wire will need to be grounded at the battery's negative terminal. You can use the # 5506 kit to make these connections to the battery.

If your Chevrolet Express Van does not have the factory 7-way, you will want to use an # ETBC7 kit to install the brake controller and a 7-way connector at the back of the van. I have attached a help article that will outline the installation process.
