There is not a plug and play harness for the 2010 Silverado, so you will need to hardwire it. The wire colors could be, but not always, Red/Black, connects to the black wire on the brake controller. White, connects to white on the brake controller. Light Blue/White, connects to red on the brake controller. Dark blue, connects to the blue wire on the brake controller. If you also see an orange wire, it is not needed. To ensure proper function you will need to use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to confirm function. I've attached a couple articles with pictures to help.
If your truck does not have a factory 7-Way at the rear of the vehicle, you will also need Twist-in, 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector, # PK11916. I have included a video showing installation of this wiring harness below.
