Prodigy P2 90885 Brake Controller Installation in 2005 Chevrolet Express Van-Based Motorhome

Question:

I purchased the Tekonsha P2 brake controller and want to install it in my 2005 Chevrolet 3500 cutaway C Class motorhome with the 6L and 7pin trailer tow. Is there a plug and play cable available for this vehicle? Thanks.

If your van has a round plug with a cap inside the driver's side frame rail you can use part # 30955 to complete the 7-way installation. This combination 4-pole/7-way trailer socket will plug right in to the round U.S. Car Connector if present. The blue brake output wire will already be present; it runs from the 7-way up to the dash near the emergency brake pedal.

The blue vehicle wire connects to the blue wire on the P2. The white wire on the P2 is ground and connects to the battery negative terminal. The black wire on the controller pigtail is for 12V input power and should be connected to the battery positive terminal through a 30-amp breaker like # PK54530. The red wire on the controller connects to the wire on the cold side of the brake light switch; this is the wire that carries a signal ONLY when the brake pedal is pressed and at no other time.

There is no quick-install wiring adapter for brake controller installation in your 2005 Chevrolet Express Van.
