Hayes Energize III+ Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500- Video
Hi, Matt with etrailer. Today we're gonna be talking about the Hayes Energize III brake controller on the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. How a brake controller works is when you have a trailer with electric brakes, this control is gonna send a signal from up here back to your trailer to letting you know to stop. So today we have a proportional one. So how that works is if you press down either light or hard it's gonna match that on your trailer as well. The energize III brake controller is gonna be great for hauling those trailers with one to three axles. more

Now, today, we have a time delayed one, so that's not gonna be like our proportional brake controllers. How it differs is a proportional brake controller, when you press down on the brakes, if you press down hard, it's gonna press down hard on your trailer's, and if you press down light, it's gonna press down light on your trailer brakes. While this is gonna work a little bit differently, and it's not gonna provide you as smooth of a ride. more

Hey guys, Kevin here with etrailer and today I'm gonna be showing you how to install the Tucson DirecLink Trailer Brake Controller here on our 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500. Up top here you can see it's going to revert back to our brake sensitivity and there's gonna be 20 different sensitivity levels, depending on if your trailer is above or below 10,000 pounds gross vehicle weight rating, so you can easily adjust that up and down. (button beeping) And then also we can go to the side here and that's gonna give us our low speed brake. So essentially if you're going at a low speed, you don't have to worry about the brakes fully actuating. This is basically just gonna kind of get you a more smoother braking power whenever you're driving through the city or maybe you're hitting a whole lot of stop lights and you don't really wanna have it slam on the brakes every single time, you can adjust this, get a little bit lower, and then we also have our max brake limit. And so right now I got that just said at 20%, but obviously you could change that as well. more

We have ours hooked up to a trailer right now, and when you're hooked up, you see you get an icon of a truck towing a trailer and it shows your current power output going towards your brakes. Since this is a proportional brake controller and we're in park right now, when I step on my brake pedal, we don't get any power being applied because we're not actually moving. There is no false application of the brakes. You have to be moving in a forward direction with your brakes applied.This brake controller will allow you to tow a trailer up to four axles controlling four sets of electric trailer brakes. This break controller will also allow you to control electric-over-hydraulic brakes without any modifications required to the trailer or your brake controller. more

Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 90885- Video
Today on our 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, we're going to install the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller, part number 90885. We're also going to be using the Tekonsha Plug-in Wiring Adapter. That part number is 3016. Here's what the P2 is going to look like when you get it installed in your vehicle. This is a proportional breaking system, so this is going to take the inertia from your vehicle and translate that into breaking power using the accelerometer located inside. So on very quick and abrupt stops, where we're really trying to stop quickly, this is going to go right up to our maximum power rapidly and deliver that braking to us when we need it in an emergency. When we're in city streets and just slowly on and off the brakes just trying to maintain speed, this is going to do it much more gradually, reducing the heat build-up in our brakes and also only using what we need at that time. The "C" here is going to indicate that we've got a trailer connected, so if you see a "DC" come up, it means you've got a disconnect situation. more

Now the Voyager from Tekonsha is a great brake controller that uses a proportional system to deliver whatever power that you're inputting here at the brake pedal, to the rear of the vehicle. So if we get an aggressive emergency stop, and you really stand on it, this is going to provide more power to the rear. If we're in the everyday traffic to where we're just placing our foot on there just to slow down a little bit, the Voyager realizes that, and it'll slow it down gradually. We've got an adjustment here on the left, that's going to be for our output, or the amount of braking force going to our trailer. more
