Troubleshooting No Power To Blue Wire Pressing Brake Pedal For Tekonsha Voyager On 2021 Silverado
Question:
I have the Tekonsha Voyager on a 2021 Chevy Silverado. Used the pigtail that come with the truck and spliced into the controller box. When the controller is plugged in, I get constant power on the black wire, and the light on the controller is on. I get power to red when I push the break pedal. But I never get any power on the blue wire. Unless I am reading it wrong, this should be the wire to the brakes. Is this correct?

Expert Reply:
As the Tekonsha Voyager # 39510 is a proportional trailer brake controller you will need to be moving with a trailer connected to get power output on the blue brake wire of the controller. If you are sitting still pressing on the brake pedal it will not send any power through the blue wire since it does not sense the vehicle coming to a stop.
We do offer the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter # 3064-P for your 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 which will allow you to connect directly from your truck to the Tekonsha Voyager without having wires spliced together if you are worried about the connections.
