7-Way Tester Recommendation for 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500
Updated 03/30/2025 | Published 10/17/2016
Question:
Do you have a emulator 7 way tester that would work on a 16 Silverado? I understand that the tekonsha 7 way may or may not work on this vehicle.

The 7-way tester part # C73NR would work on your 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500 for all circuits unless you have an integrated brake controller. That's pretty much the only circuit we have found that doesn't like to work with this tester on the newer Chevy trucks.

You indicate that the 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500 with an integrated brake controller is "pretty much the only circuit we have found that doesn't like to work with this (Curt) tester on the newer Chevy trucks." What 7 Pin Male Trailer Plug tester can read the electric brake system on a 2018 Silverado with integrated electric brake controller? Thanks
