Expert Reply:
In most cases, the wires under the dash for a brake controller on the Chevrolet Express Van's are not active even with the factory tow package. This can be be debunked by testing which is what you would need to do to verify function anyhow as we don't have access to vehicle specific wiring diagrams. Therefore, in order to install the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller part # RED44FR on a 2021 Chevrolet Express Van you'll also likely need the Wiring Kit for 2, 4, 6, and 8 Brake Electric Trailer Brake Controllers part # 5506. In other words, you have to run your own power, ground, and output wires for the controller.
