Installing an Electric Brake Controller in a 2018 Chevrolet Traverse with a Factory 7-Way Connector
Question:
The owners manual indicates there are 4 wires for a brake controller stubbed behind the side kick panel. I found them. One is black, one is blue, one is white with a blue stripe & one is red with a black stripe. Can you tell me which one I connect to which controller harness wire?

Expert Reply:
The Electric Brake Controller Adapter, part # 3026-P, is confirmed to fit the 2018 Chevrolet Traverse Limited. If you have a Limited model you should have the connector underneath your dashboard.
Since you don't have the connector under your dash instead of using the # 3026-P adapter you need our # 5506 wiring kit to install the Prodigy P3, part # 90195. The wiring kit includes everything to power a brake controller.
I've linked a video from when we installed our # ETBC7 kit on an older Traverse. This kit is just like the # 5506 except it also includes the 7-way trailer connector which you don't need. The video should be helpful by showing you how to use the # 5506 wiring kit.
