Question:

I have a 2015 chevy traverse. It doesnt have a tow package but it is prewired with the plug as shown in your video. Will this activate my trailers brakes?

If your 2015 Chevy Traverse has the factory 7-way you would just need the correct brake controller harness to activate a brake controller to allow you to be able to activate the trailer's brakes. For that you would need the part # 3026-P.

This adapter plugs into the 6-pin connector on your vehicle's built-in brake control wiring harness. The harness is located underneath the dash, to the left of the steering column, taped to another harness near the emergency brake pedal.

For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes.
