Can The Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Replace A Kelsey Energize Brake Controller In A 1996 Chevy K2500

Question:
Hi, I just ordered the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite trailer brake controller for my 1996 GMC K2500 Suburban, to replace the Kelsey unit that is currently installed. Will I be able to hook the Redarc up to the existing wiring harness for the Kelsey? Thanks Michael Matzko

Hello Michael. The Kelsey Energize brake controller will use the same 4 wire connection at the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite # RED44FR. So, it will be a simple matter of disconnecting the old controller and wiring in the new controller with the 4 wires that should be color coded (red to red, black to black ect...).
