Brake Controller Installation and Recommendation for a 2014 Chevy Suburban

Question:

I have a 2014 Chevrolet Suburban with the built-in 7-way connector. Under the hood I have sited but not installed the two wires by the circuit breaker box for the brakes. 1. Do I have a bundle underneath the drivers side of console that I have to butt-connect the brake controller to? 2. Im looking for a reliable in-expensive brake controller so I can tow my horse trailer 3. Im good with electronics to hooking up the brake controller is not an issue, but I would prefer a plug-in type over using butt-connectors 4. Horse trailer is two horse, dual axle, with front axle having electric drum brakes Thank you

To install a brake controller in your 2014 Chevy Suburban you will need to connect the wires of the controller to the 4 wires under the dash of your vehicle. You will also need to make the connections under the hood of the vehicle as well.

For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes.

I attached an install video and help article for you to check out as well.
