When using the # 3016 to install a Tekonsha or Draw-Tite brake controller on your 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500, you're looking for the 2 plugs on the left hand side and you will install the controller adapter in the upper one; there should be a larger long one on the bottom and one directly above it where you'll plug in. I've attached a photo of this which you should compare to yours, as well as an installation video that shows this process.

If your fuse box looks differently and can provide a photo I'm happy to look and see if we can determine where to plug in.
