• How to Install a Brake Controller on a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  To install a brake controller on your 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT 4x4, you will just need the vehicle specific plug-in adapter. These adapters are usually brand specific.

I've attached an installation video of this setup on a 2017 Silverado for you to check out. If you are undecided on a brake controller...

  You are on the right track. To install the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller # RED44FR in your 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 will require you to use the install harness part # 3016-S which is very similar to the # 3016 except it doesn't have the Tekonsha specific connector.

• Where is the Wiring Harness Located For a Brake Controller On a 2016 GMC Sierra 1500
  There is existing wiring under the dash on your 2016 GMC Sierra 1500. Your truck comes with a pre-wired factory tow package which means it is set up to easily install a brake controller.

• Brake Controller Recommendation for a 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 LTZ
  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. For a model that takes up very little space I recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite # RED44FR. Unlike most other controllers the interface with the Tow-Pro Elite is just a little knob that, once installed, looks like an OEM knob.

• Install Harness Recommendation for Redarc Tow-Pro Elite in 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500
  The easiest solution to install the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller # RED44FR you referenced in your 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 is going to be with the install harness part # 331-TPH-010 which plugs directly into the controller and into the port under the dash of your truck without any splicing required. If you instead went with the # 3016-S you'd actually match the wires color for color to the brake controller not the truck and then plug the connector in on your truck instead.

• 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. Another option you have would be the Redarc Tow Pro Elite part # RED44FR which basically only requires you to mount a small knob on your interior that controls the controller and the brain of it mounts out of sight. I attached a picture of what the knob looks like for you to check out as well.

• Brake Controller for a 2016 Chevy Silverado with a Clean Installation Look
  I do have an alternate solution for you to have a clean-looking brake controller installation but if you are wanting to install an OEM controller on your 2016 Chevy Silverado then you would need to speak with a Chevy dealer for information about that as we only carry aftermarket controllers.

• Is there a Brake Controller that Fits in the Dash Pocket on a 2015 Chevy Silverado
  If you were to use the PowerTrac # 39523 it does have all of its controls at the front where they would be accessible. Since this is a time delay control it doesn't have to be mounted in any specific orientation. This controller is 3 inches wide, 5 inches long, and 1-1/4 inches tall. If you can tell me the amount of space in the pocket on your 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500 I can determine if something else might work better. In addition to the brake controller the only other part you will...
