Installing A Brake Controller In 2012 Chevy Suburban With Factory Tow Package

Question

Question:

I had a Tekonsha P3 90195 brake controller in my 2007 Suburban and pulled it out before I sold it. However, I left the harness I had wired in the vehicle. So I need to wire a new harness into my 2012 Chevy Suburban has the factory 7 pin wiring so I can use the brake controller. Im having a hard time finding the harness I need separate from a whole new controller. Can you help? Thanks-

In the 2012 Chevy Suburban, no plug is present under the dash, but the needed wires are already run. You will connect the brake controller wiring with the vehicle wiring already present under the dash. For your Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Brake Controller # 90195, you just need the Replacement Brake Control Plug-In Harness for Tekonsha and Draw-Tite Brake Controller 12" Long # 20127. I've attached and article to help.
