  • Parts Needed and How to Install a P2 Brake Controller on a 2013 GMC Savanna Van with Tow Package
  • On your 2013 GMC Savanna van with the factory 7-Way and tow package the blue output brake wire is already ran from the back of the vehicle to the front. It is located under the dash near the emergency brake pedal and will attach to the brake controller blue wire on the P2 # 90885. The other wires from the brake controller will also need to be hardwired in. The white wire is ground and will need to be attached to the negative battery terminal.

  • Installing Brake Controller On 2004 GMC Van
  • The 2004 GMC van will not have the connector under the dash like those found in GM trucks. If the van has the OE 7-way connector at the rear bumper, the blue brake output wire will be ran from the 7-way to the area near the emergency brake pedal and would connect to the blue wire on the brake controller. We do not offer a plug for the controller, so you would need to remove it. The remaining wires would need to be hardwired. The white wire would run to the negative battery terminal, the...

  • Stoplight Switch for Brake Controller Install on 2017 GMC Savana
  • I am not 100 percent certain which fuse you are referring to for installation of the Tekonsha Voyager Trailer Brake Controller # 39510 with Brake Control Plug-In Harness # 20127 though I took a look at an online copy of the owner's manual for a 2017 GMC Savana and the fuses are listed starting on page 248. Also keep in mind if you are looking for the cold side of the stop light switch it will only have voltage with a circuit tester like # PTW2979 when you press the brake pedal. I have...

  • Features Of The Fan-Tastic Vent Roof Vent
  • I am pleased to inform you that Fan-Tastic Vent Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan # FV802250 has a variable-speed fan that offers 3 speeds to boost or reduce airflow as needed. Since it's a fan and not an AC unit this unit just has 3 speeds instead of a thermostat. There is a small area on the device where the fuse is being held. Right next to the fuse area there is a hand knob to control the speed of the fan. The speeds are low, medium and high. Also under the vent there is a hand crank which opens...

  • 2014 GMC Savana Van Brake Controller Stoplight Circuit Location
  • The red wire from the brake controller will need to get run to the stoplight switch of the brake on your 2014 GMC Savana Van. You will want to use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to determine which wire on your BCM that will see voltage when the pedal is pressed and none when released. When we installed a brake controller on a similar van as yours we found the wire to be blue with a white stripe at the BCM located behind the dash on the passenger side.

  • Installation of Tekonsha PowerTrac Brake Controller 39523 in 2014 GMC Savana Van
  • Vehicle manufacturers can change a particular wire color without notice, sometimes even within a single vehicle production run. This is why we recommend always testing to confirm a wire's function. A circuit tester like # PTW2993 makes it easier to know you have the correct wire. The linked video illustrates use of a tester. The wire you're looking for is the one that carries a signal ONLY when the brake pedal is pressed and at no other time. This wire will connect to the red input wire...

  • Tips for Installing a Transmission Cooler On a 2006 GMC Savana Van with 5.3L Engine
  • We have several videos showing typical transmission cooler installation but none with your exact vehicle. However, since transmission coolers are not vehicle specific, installation is virtually the same on all vehicles. Some might require additional fitting and flaring lines, others do not. The fittings and the mounting locations are going to be what is different amongst different vehicles but otherwise the videos I have linked will be a good guide. I have also linked an FAQ article on...

  • Electric Brake Wire Location on a 2005 GMC Savana Van
  • The electric brake wire on the 2005 GMC Savana Van models would be connected in one of two ways. If your van came equipped with a factory 7-Way, then the blue brake wire is already ran from the 7-Way plug in the back of the vehicle and up into the cab. You would not make a connection in the rear of the vehicle. The wire would be located under the dash, near the emergency brake pedal. You will need to hard wire to install a brake controller, as the 2005 Savana vans should not have any...

  • Installation of the Lippert Components Bolt-On Shock Mount Kit # LC281281
  • I didn't get your photos, but I understand what you are asking and reached out to my tech contact at Lippert regarding your install of the Lippert Components Bolt-On Shock Mount Kit w/Heavy Duty Oil Shocks # LC281281. They said that inverting that top bracket may not allow the shock to fit properly so they can't advise to do that because they haven't tested it. Logically if the shock fits correctly in the bracket when inverted, it shouldn't be an issue but I can't give you a thumbs up...

  • In order to find the right shackle strap length to go with the Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalizer Kit # LC696740 on your 2014 Keystone Passport you will need to measure your current shackle straps. It is important to keep them the same length as the ones you currently have. See the diagram below which shows where to measure. I recommend upgrading to heavy duty shackle straps and wet bolts in addition to the Road Armor equalizer. If you have 2-1/4" shackle straps you could use the # MR46ZR...

  • Where Is The Fuse For The Brake Controller Power Wire On a GMC Savana Van
  • The brake controller power circuit on your 2017 GMC Savana Van is ran on a red/white wire that is under the dash, taped to three or four other wires with blunt cut ends. If this wire does not have power then you will need to connect the other end to the stud on your fuse box which can be seen in the attached photo.

  • Where Are the Wires To Install a Brake Controller On a 2017 GMC Savana Cutaway
  • The stop light switch wire on your 2017 GMC Savana Van should be located up under your dash, tapped to the three or four other wires that you need to install a brake controller; power, ground, and brake output. These wires have blunt cut ends and may or may not be labeled therefore you will need to test each wire prior to making connections.
