Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Only Works with Manual Override on a 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
Question:
I bought it for a 05 gas engine and now have it installed on a 02 diesel but the plug was the same.

Expert Reply:
It sounds like there is an issue with the stop light switch connection on the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90195 in your 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD. The most common problem that causes this connection issue is a blown Center High Mounted Stop Lamp (CHMSL) fuse which is in the engine bay fuse block. If you are using a hard wire harness then check your connection to the stop light switch wire attached to the cold side of the brake pedal or the one that only gets power while the brake pedal is depressed.
