How Difficult is the Installation of a Prodigy P3 Brake Controller on a 2015 Chevy Colorado?
Question:
Hi, how difficult is it to install a Tekonsha Brake Controller on a 2015 Chevy Colorado that has the trailer package pre-installed? Is this something I can do or do I have to take it to a garage to get it done?

Expert Reply:
Installing a Tekonsha Brake Controller, such as the Prodigy P3, # 90195, on your Colorado can be accomplished without the use of any special tools, though you will need a circuit tester such as # PTW2992. The 2015 Chevy Colorado with trailer package will have the wiring for the brake controller already run, which you can access via the kick panel on the driver's side.
I have included a link to a full install of a Prodigy on a 2015 Colorado with factory 7-way which will show you every step in the process.
