Expert Reply:

Yes we do! You can use the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter # 3016. This will allow you to plug the Tekonsha Primus # TK90160 directly into the factory brake control port in your 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500.

I have linked our install video for you below.

Thanks for the info. Ordered, received and installed. I have one question though. After installation and connecting your harness the controller display shows two red lights that stay on after the truck engine is turned off. Is this normal as I don’t want to risk discharging my battery. Thanks in advance!

@JohnE Yes the 2 red dots on the display is normal. So, without the trailer connected you should see (n.c) on the display for 15 seconds, then it will change to the 2 red dots. This is an indication that the controller is working correctly. The only cause for concern would be if you were seeing error codes on the display.
