Brake Controller Installation on a 1999 Chevy C3500 Pickup Truck

Question:

This is the board I am supposed to plug this wire into but its not the same as the board you have pictured. What is the correct cable i need for this truck?

On a 1999 Chevy C3500 there will NOT be a brake controller port to plug in a brake controller. The brake controller has to be hardwired into the truck. Chevy did not start putting in a port until they switched the trucks from C or K to Silverado. Prior to that Silverado was just a trim option.

I have included a link to a video that will help. It shows installation on a 1996 C/K series truck. Installation will be basically identical on your 1999 model.

If your truck already has a 7-Way connector you would only need installation kit # 5506 to install the controller.
