Parts Needed to Install Brake Controller in 2015 GMC Savana Van with 4-way
Updated 12/05/2016 | Published 12/04/2016 >
Question:
Looking to add a trailer brake controller. I already installed your 4 wire light system. How would I know if my 2015 GMC Savana base model has a direct plug in for a controller? Rather not cut wires if I dont have to. Thanks.

Expert Reply:
If you had to install a 4-way trailer wiring harness on your 2015 GMC Savana for trailer wiring you would not have the brake controller wiring port under the dash and would need to hardwire the controller in.
For converting the 4-way to a 7-way and installing the brake controller we have the part # ETBC7 which comes with everything needed to install the controller.
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. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes.
