Expert Reply:
The correct size circuit breaker for the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90195 installed on your 2011 Chevrolet Silverado will vary depending on the number of braked axles your trailer has. Since you only have one braked axle then you are going to want to use a 20 amp circuit part # 9506P.
The black 12 volt wire from the brake controller will need to be attached to the silver "AUX" terminal on the circuit breaker and the copper "BAT" terminal will need to be attached to the battery 6" away from the positive terminal. You can use ring terminals like part # 44-5310A to make the connections.
