Do Power Wires for Brake Controller Install on a 1998 GMC Suburban Run to Battery or Fuse Block
Question:
Hi, looking over my 98 GMC Suburban I see that one of the two power posts on the fuse block already has a connection of some sort secured there. The kit instructs attaching one wire to each of the fuse block posts. I was wondering if it is ok to have more than one wire on one post? Thanks!

For the 1998 GMC Suburban the wiring under the hood is not for the brake controller. You would need to use the part # ETBC7 and all of it's components to install the brake controller. You would not wire to the fuse block. Instead you would wire to the battery directly.
Check out the install video that shows the kit being installed on a similar Suburban.
