  • Parts Needed to Install a 7-Way Trailer Connector and Brake Controller on a 2001 GMC Savana 2500
  • The brake controller and wiring options for a 2001 GMC Savana can be tricky. If you have a bundle of wires in the jack storage compartment, I would ask that you test them for function using a circuit tester like # PTW2993 and label them. If you find that you have 7 wires (left turn/brake, right turn/brake, running lights, 12-volt power, reverse lights, brake controller output, and ground) then you can use the Pollak 7- and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket, # HM40975 and Pigtail Wiring Harness,...

  • Replacement 10 Electric Brakes for 2010 Rockwood Roo M17 and Brake Controller Recommendations
  • Thank you for all of the details and photos! The brakes on your trailer are electric brakes. That oval piece towards the bottom is the brake magnet and is what ultimately controls the brake action. It's actually more cost-effective to replace the entire brake assemblies so I recommend using the 10" Electric Trailer Brake Kit # AKEBRK-35-SA which updates everything with your brakes. Since your wiring connections are outside you'll want to use protective butt connectors # DW05745-10 which...

  • Trailer Brake Controller Installation in 2014 GMC Savana Van
  • The 2014 GMC Savana does not have a brake controller installation port under the dash, but certainly one of the other connectors under the dash could easily resemble one. A brake controller wiring adapter will have 4 prongs that carry 12V power for the controller, the ground connection, a brake light switch input signal and a 4th that carries the controller output to the trailer connector on a blue wire. Brake controller installation will be hard-wired in your van. If your Savana has a...
