  We have the brake controller install harness part # 3016-S which will plug into the port under the dash of your 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500 and will give you 4 blunt cut wires you can then wire to your brake controller.

  For your 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 I recommend the P3 brake controller # 90195.

• Wiring Harness for Installing Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Brake Controller in 2016 Chevy Silverado 2500
  The Redarc # RED44FR Tow-Pro Elite you mentioned includes a wiring pigtail that ends in bare wires, as shown in its product description photo.

  We do not carry the factory brake controller for your 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 but we have numerous aftermarket options that have proven to be far superior to the factory controllers.

Unlike most other controllers the interface with the Tow-Pro Elite is just a little knob that, once installed, looks like an OEM knob. And to plug this controller into the factory brake controller port use # 3016-S....

• What Position Can the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller 90195 Mount In
  As long as the P3 part # 90195 squarely faces the rear of your vehicle it can be at any angle. I attached pictures that show how it will need to be orientated.

• Troubleshooting 2015 GMC Factory Brake Controller Issue

• Should I Use The Pigtail 3016-P or 3016-S When Adding a Tekonsha Primus IQ To a 2022 Chevy Tahoe
  To connect the Tekonsha Primus IQ Trailer Brake Controller # TK90160 on your 2022 Chevrolet Tahoe you will want to use the 3016-P Pigtail # 3016. This pigtail will have connectors on both ends while the Pigtail # 3016-S will only have the factory connector. If you use this connector you will have to wire it to the universal pigtail which comes with the Primus IQ. This creates an additional failure point on the harness which can fail.

• Where to Install Brake Controller on a 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500
  The best place to mount a brake controller like the Tekonsha Voyager # 39510 is under the driver's side dash in a place so that it is within easy reach in the even that you need to activate the manual override. Technically it could be mounted to the floor but since that will be a little out of reach I recommend to the right of your dash under the steering wheel as you can see from the attached photo. This helps to keep it out of the way especially when getting in and out of your vehicle....
