Installing Curt Venturer Brake Controller on 2002 GMC Envoy w/ Factory Tow Package
Question:
Hi, Last year I bought a Curt Venturer electronic brake controller for my 2013 Ram 1500. I just bought my son a 2002 GMC Envoy which has a towing package with a 7 pin connector. From what ive read they come pre wired for an electronic brake controller. If I just buy the wiring harness for 2002 Envoy can I use the same brake controller from the Ram? Thank you for your time.

You can certainly move the brake controller to your son's 2002 Envoy.
Unlike your Ram, the Envoy doesn't have a connector under the dash. There are bare tow package wires that you'd simply wire the brake controller to. I'd recommend using a Curt universal quick disconnect, part # C51515 and wiring it directly to the tow package wiring, which would allow you to easily remove the controller and swap it back and forth between the vehicles if you wish. The wires would connect color for color. You'd also need a mounting bracket for your son's vehicle, part # C51114.
I've linked you to a video showing a different controller being installed on a 2004 Envoy. The procedure would be identical for your vehicle.
