Question:
Can I replace the factory installed trailer brake controlle on 2016 Silverado 2500hd with the Redarc
asked by: Edward L
Expert Reply:
Yes, the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller part # RED44FR or the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller part # RED24FR can both be used to replace the factory brake controller on a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 using the Redarc Plug-and-Play Wiring Harness for Tow-Pro Trailer Brake Controllers part # 331-TPH-010. That said, you'd need to cut the blue brake output wire from the harness where it would normally plug into the vehicle side brake controller plug and run this to the rear trailer connector manually. This will bypass the factory controller.
