Yes, you can definitely install the Tekonsha P2 Brake Controller on your 2009 Hummer H3T yourself. The brake controller will have to be hard wired, and you will need a circuit tester, # PTW2993, to find the right connection to the stop light switch wire. There is no plug under the dash of the H3T for the brake controller. view full answer...
The Tekonsha Custom Wiring Adapter for Trailer Brake Controllers - Pigtail - GM # 3015-S does match color for color if you have 12V power getting to the adapter. If you do not, then they specify that the red and black are reversed for functions in step 3. If you have power then you skip step 3 and move to step 4 which is matching color for color. I've highlighted this part to assist in the attached photo.
The brake controller will have black for power input which will connect to the... view full answer...
To install the Tekonsha P2 Brake Controller # 90885, in your 2004 Hummer H1, you will need to do a little hardwiring, but since you already have a functioning 7-Way trailer connector, there will not be too much work involved to get it installed and ready to tow.
First, you will need enough wire # 10-1-1 to reach from the 7-Way trailer connector at the back of the H1 to the cab of the vehicle where you plan to mount the brake controller. This wire is sold in 1-foot increments. I recommend... view full answer...
The are four bolts you will use to install the Demco Classic Base Plate Kit # DM9518193 on your 2009 Hummer H3.
I have added a cut out from the linked installation instructions which detail this. Along with base plates there are a number of other things you will need to flat tow your 2009 Hummer H3, and to simplify I'll make a list for you.

Brake controllers can be used with virtually any vehicle so there are not many vehicle specific instructions out there.
Underneath your dash somewhere is a bundle of 4 or 5 wires Red, Light Blue, Black, Dark Blue and possibly Orange. The Orange wire will not be used. The bundle is usually taped up in one of three places underneath the dash. Sometimes it is next to the center console by the gas pedal, sometimes it is above the emergency foot brake by the door and other times it is behind... view full answer...
There is no plug under the dash to install a trailer brake controller like the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90195 on a 2007 Hummer H3, but for models with a factory trailer connector the wires should already be run for you. Therefore, you'd just need to use the included pigtail with the above controller and tie into them using the article below. view full answer...
Yes. you are correct! You will connect the Tekonsha # 3015-S to the brake controller wires on your RedArc Tow Pro Elite # RED44FR matching them color for color. You can then plug the end of the adapter into the brake controller port on your 2003 Hummer H2. view full answer...
Since your Hummer H3T came with a factory 7-Way, you will be able to find the tow package wiring under the dash of the vehicle. The wiring should be located to the right of the steering column, under the dash, behind the radio area. The wires should be labeled.
You will splice the brake controller wiring to these wires. On the brake controller, white is ground, black is 12 volt power, blue is output to the trailer brakes, and red is input from the brake switch stop light wire. If there... view full answer...
It's totally normal to splice on some extra wire to the 12 Volt Outlet Kit # RM-9332 to get it to the battery so I would just use some 16 AWG # 16-1-1 and a butt connector # DW05744-10 instead of using the extension # RM-9331. The extension would technically work but just splicing in more wire is a bit cleaner of a setup. view full answer...
There should be a sticker with the weight rating on your trailer hitch. Usually there are two ratings. Check to see if your trailer hitch has a weight rating with weight distribution and then let me know. view full answer...
Since the battery must be disconnected when flat towing your 2009 Hummer H2 an option is to use the Roadmaster Auto Battery Disconnect, part #RM-766. The disconnect is activated by the taillight circuit from the tow vehicle. When the tow vehicle taillights are on, the solenoid is activated and the Hummer battery is automatically disconnected. The power from the taillight circuit that is not needed to keep the solenoid open is then routed to the Hummer battery helping to maintain the charge... view full answer...
Yes, you are correct; your 2005 Hummer H2 will not have a large plate on the frame when installing the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX4102.
I have added a link to the instructions which detail this, but essentially these base plates are simply going to replace your existing tow hooks, like you mentioned. There are a number of other parts you'll need to flat tow your 2005 Hummer H2, and I'll recommend the parts you need.

If you don't have room installing the SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # SM99251 near the emergency brake pedal, I recommend trying lower to offer emergency brake pedal clearance. If it still won't work then it is recommended to install on the console side of the passenger seat in a similar way with the sticker facing the passenger and the switch facing the rear of the vehicle. If those areas will not work for your 2007 Hummer H3, then I recommend trying the console further... view full answer...
Absolutely, installing a brake controller on a vehicle such as your 2009 Hummer H3 is an extremely doable task even for the most novice installer. Since the brake controller wires are already pre-run, the task becomes even more simpler.
The wires for the brake controller are already pre-run under your drivers side dash panel. Once the panel is removed, you should see a cluster of 4 wires with blunt ends taped together. The pre-run wires will have the following functions; power, ground,... view full answer...
You should not need to disconnect the # RM-9332 when jumping the vehicle battery, but I do agree that the ground wire should be placed elsewhere. I typically use a self-tapping screw and shoot it right into some bare metal in the engine compartment. I typically try to run the wire along the outer edge of the engine compartment to keep it out of the way for whenever other maintenance needs to be done. view full answer...
Yes, the adapter you will need to install the Draw-Tite Activator IV Brake Controller on your 2003 Hummer H2 is the Universal Brake Control Wiring Adapter, part # 3015-S. You will need to match the corresponding colored wires to the color wires coming out of the brake controller. You will want to twist the exposed wire and connect each wire individually with the included butt connectors. Then, wrap each connection in electrical tape. The other end of the adapter will plug into the port... view full answer...
Draw-Tite 75382 fits the 2006-2010 Hummer H3. It does not require and drilling or fascia cutting. It will sit just below the rear bumper. I have added a link to the instructions for the hitch and an install video which will show you where the hitch sits and how to install it. view full answer...
I have attached the instructions that you are referring to for the Prodigy P2 # 90885 but they are no different than what you received with your unit. They are generic instructions and while we don't have exact instructions for your 2008 Hummer H3 (with the location of the wires or diagrams) I can still assist you with your installation.
If you have the factory 7-Way on your Hummer then you should find a bundle of wires up under the driver's side of your dash. You can test the wires with... view full answer...
The best way to determine what functions each of those wires on your 2008 Hummer H3 carries is to use a circuit tester like part # PTW2992 and check to see what each wire does. I tried looking up what functions they might carry but the only thing that seemed to be consistent is that the orange wire has constant 12V power to it. You can verify this by connecting the circuit tester to that wire and seeing if it has constant power or not.
The typical brake controller wiring pigtail has white,... view full answer...
Typically, the brake signal wire and 12V power wire should be in the same bundle of wires where you found the turn signal wires, ground, and running light wires. They may not be blue and black in color, but you can use a circuit tester, # PTW2993, to test for the functions of the wires. You can also use the circuit tester to test the functions of the bundle of wires you found under the dash for the brake controller. Another place the 12V power and brake signal wires may be located is along... view full answer...
