Brake Controller and Install Harness Recommendation for 2017 Chevy Traverse with Factory 7-Way
Question:
I have a 2017 Chevy Traverse with trailering package including 7 way and need a brake controller. The ones you list come with a wiring adapter. Where is the plug on the vehicle?? Owners manual says there are blunt cut wires under dash They are well hidden if they are there.

Expert Reply:
Since your 2017 Chevy Traverse has a factory 7-way you actually will want the install harness part # 3026-P which plugs into the port under your dash. If you check out the picture I attached you'll see exactly where to find the port.
For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes. This will be the last brake controller you buy. It can easily be transferred to future vehicles as well.
