i own a 2011 chevy 3500 with integrated brake controller.The controller does not work with my hydraulic brake system on my trailer. Do you have any recommendation what i could use to make it work. Thanks

Expert Reply:
The easiest solution is to bypass the factory brake controller and install an aftermarket controller that is compatible with electric over hydraulic braking systems. We actually have an FAQ article that covers the process which I have linked for you.
For a brake controller that is compatible with electric over hydraulic braking systems, I recommend the Tekonsha P2, # 90885. This is one of our most popular controllers, in part because it can be sued with electric or electric over hydraulic braking systems.
