When installing a brake controller in a 2004 Chevy Silverado 2500HD with a harness like the Tekonsha part # 3015-P there are a few connections under the hood of the truck that need to be made to activate the brake controllers wiring.

I attached a help article below that covers how to make these connections as well as an install video that shows the process as well.
