Is Circuit Breaker Needed to Install Brake Controller in a 2013 GMC Sierra

Question

Question:

I have a 2013 GMC Sierra I would like to put your Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Control in truck. How do I know if I need the 9506P Circuit Breaker or with my trailer package will it already have the fuse? Is there any way to tell?

To install the Prodigy P2 brake controller part # 90885 will not require you to add any circuit breakers. All you need to do is attach the wires of the controller to the wires under the dash of your 2013 GMC Sierra and make a couple connections under the hood of your truck like what is shown in the install video and help article I attached.
