Trailer Connector for 2013 Chevy Silverado Compatible w/ Surge Brake Equipped Trailer
Question:
Is there a wiring harness that I can plug in for the surge brakes on the boat trailer?

Expert Reply:
The 7-way trailer connector on your 2013 Silverado should already be tied into the reverse lamp circuit. The center pin in the 7-way trailer connector should show voltage when the truck is shifted into reverse. If you don't already have a 7-way, you can easily install one using part # PK11916 which would install in the knockout to the left of the rear license plate as shown in the video I've linked for you. If the trailer has a 5-way connector, you can use an adapter like part # A75TB .
