Expert Reply:
I did some research on this controller for your 2006 Chevrolet Silverado, and there are no features available that will turn the Curt TriFlex Brake Controller, part # C24VV off. The best way to temporarily disable the controller when you intend to back up is to unplug the trailer. If you were to unplug the controller, it would have to be reset when it is plugged back in. I spoke with my contact at Curt and they strongly advised against doing this because if someone failed to reconnect the controller you would not have the trailer brakes available when needed while towing.
The Curt Custom Wiring Adapter, part # C51352 makes installing your brake controller very simple by plugging one end into the electric junction box beneath the dash of your Silverado and the other end plugs into the brake controller.
