Thanks for reaching out, Andy!

There is a box under the driver's side dash of your 2001 Chevy Silverado that you'll plug an adapter into, so you won't actually be splicing your wiring together.

For example, we have an install video of the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller w/ Custom Harness # TK88HR on a 2001 Silverado that I'm linking for you to check out (along with an article). If you have the tow package you just plug in the adapter, but if you don't have the tow package then you'll need to plug in the adapter and make some connections at the back of your truck as well as under the hood.

If you check out the video and article you'll get a complete picture of what this installation looks like.
