- Brake Controller Wiring Harness for 2005 Chevy Trailblazer
- The part you were looking at, # 3015-S, will not work with your 2005 Chevy Trailblazer EXT.
If you have the factory 7-way towing wiring, the wires will be taped up under the dash to some other wiring with either a piece of white or blue tape. There will not be a connector on these wires, and they will need to be spliced to the brake controller wires. A circuit tester, part # PTW2993, will be needed to be sure the proper connections have been made and the vehicle wiring is functional.

- I looked through the owners manual for the 2009 GMC Canyon, but was unable to locate any fuses that were specific to trailer turn or brake lights. With that being said, I would check the REAR PRK LAMP fuse as this deals with the lights on the passenger side.
If this fuse is good, I suggest testing your wiring harness to see if there is power to the right side functions. If you do have power, you will need to check the wiring on the trailer as there is either a break in one or more of the...

- When the actuator fails to move the vehicle brake pedal there are a couple of things to check. First check that there is adequate tension on the cable that pulls the pedal. Adjust as needed according to the instructions (linked for reference).
If that is not the issue then it could be a lack of pressure in the system. To check this you will remove the actuator air line in order to check for pressure. If there is no pressure or very little pressure then look for anywhere in the line where...

- It sounds like you have some wiring issues with the Tekonsha Primus IQ Trailer Brake Controller part # TK90160. The clicking noise is caused by the brake controller turning itself off due to a short detected. Therefore, you will need to check each of the wires for the brake controller and how you have them ran as it sounds like you could have more than one issue. The red wire will go to the cold side of the brake pedal, the white wire will go to the negative battery terminal, the black...

- That definitely sounds like a weak ground that is causing your problem. You could check the condition of your hitch ball. Sometimes a rusty ball will affect how everything grounds on the trailer because the trailer also grounds through the ball to the frame of the vehicle. If the trailer has any type of folding coupler or dump function you might need to run a jumper wire to connect the two sections of the trailer.
It sounds like you installed the Tow Ready Wiring Harness # 118301.

- First thing you should do at this point is test the 4-way of the wiring harness with a circuit tester part # PTW2993 for voltage on all of the right pins when the taillight signals are being applied. Just like in the video I attached.
If the voltage checks out there but the trailer lights still don't function right then the problem is on the trailer wiring. That would mean that problem is either due to a ground issue or a short issue.
Make sure that the trailer side connector are clean...

- If the Curt Spectrum # C51170 isn't lighting up when a trailer is connected to your 2019 GMC Canyon, there will be a few things you need to check.
First, and this will sound obvious but it actually happens more than you would think, you will need to make sure all the plugs are fully seated and snapped together. A loose or incomplete connection can definitely cause it to not function.
With that out of the way, you will need to test the black wire going into the controller. This should...

- This is completely normal and doesn't indicate any type of problems with the installation. Because it's connected to a constant 12-volt power source and responds to the brake light switch, the LED on the Curt TriFlex Trailer Brake Controller # C24VV will remain illuminated without a trailer connected and for a short time after the vehicle is shut off.
After 15 or so minutes of inactivity, the brake controller goes into a 'sleep' mode and will reactivate next time the brake pedal is pressed....

- Lights will do all sorts of funny things if they do not have a proper ground. Some will work, some will work intermittently and some may not work at all. If you did not have the lights mounted to the trailer, the TL29BK Kits use stud-grounded lights, then the lights did not have a true ground. If you want to test them again, run a wire from the mounting studs on the lights to a good ground on the truck, usually the frame, or the ground post on the truck connector (white wire).

- This sounds like a ground issue. Ground problems normally show up when there is more draw on a system such as when you have the running lights on and then use another function like a turn signal or brake light but can show up any time. Some vehicles can overcome a weak ground which could be why it works with a different vehicle.
Make sure that the vehicle side and trailer side connectors are clean and free of corrosion inside and out. The main connector grounds should be attached to clean...

- The Curt hitch part # C13176 was designed to fit your 2019 GMC Canyon but what most likely happened in your situation is that the hitch was bent in shipping. If you can bend the hitch back and you don't see any creasing or paint flaking you'd be totally fine.
I attached a help article on this for you to check out as well.

- The Curt TriFlex Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 4 Axles - Proportional # C24VV should not flash output strength when you brake an a trailer isn't connected. There appears to be an issue with the brake output wire sensing a trailer connection. Normally this is due to corrosion and just cleaning up your connector helps. One of the things Curt Tech often suggests is unplugging the unit for 15 minutes and then reconnecting it so it reboots. This is normally the first step with a Curt Controller...

- The first thing you will want to do is test the 4-way of the # C55510 that you installed with a circuit tester like part # PTW2993. See the video I attached to see how this is done. This will tell you if the problem is on the vehicle side or trailer side of the wiring. You will want to reinstall the harness per the installation instructions and test the 4-way with the key on.
I would make sure you have the ground circuit attached to a clean metal surface that touches the vehicle frame....
