Trailer Brake Controller Installation in 2016 Chevrolet Colorado with Factory-Installed 7-Way
Question:
My 2016 Chev Colorado LT has factory installed trailer wiring. Is there a two plug harness available for Tekonsha P3 or Curt Reflex or Triflex? Chev web site shows one for Curt Triflex. Thanks.

For the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado with factory-installed 7-way we do not have quick-connect wiring adapters for trailer brake controllers such as the Prodigy P2 # 90885. In your truck there is no plug present under the dash, but the needed wires are already run. You will connect the brake controller wiring with the vehicle wiring already present under the dash.
You can refer to the linked article and installation video to see the install process.
In a separate email I also sent a tech bulletin from Cequent/Tekonsha that covers controller installation in your truck and the wiring of the 7-way.
