Question:
I have a 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD with integrated trailer brake. The trailer brake module has went out and does not work. The GM bulletin proves this is a valid issue with GMC and Chevy Will an aftermarket brake controller bypass the integrated controller and allow my electric brakes to work? Thanks!

Expert Reply:
It sure will Trey. Installing the Redarc Tow-Pro Link Bluetooth Brake Controller item # RED57AR is going to allow you to bypass the ITB in your 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500. This brake controller plugs in directly behind your Silverado's 7-Way connector. It will communicate with the included remote and the Redarc app available on Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. This will provide you full control of your trailer's brakes.
You mentioned the GM bulletin, did you do the recall GM offered on those factory controllers?
