Should Light Be On Display of PowerTrac Brake Controller without Trailer Connected

Question:

2004 Chevy avalanche I bought the controller with the plug and play harness and installed it per instructions. Should I have a light on without trailer being connected or is there something under the hood that needs to be hooked up. It came with factory tow package

If your 2004 Chevy Avalanche came equipped with the factory 7-Way connector installing your PowerTrac Brake Controller # 39523 should indeed just be a matter of plugging it into the factory port behind the dash using the Plug-In Adapter # 3015-P. No other connections need to be made.

With the PowerTrac installed and a trailer not connected there won't be a light displayed on the controller, so what you're getting is normal. I simply recommend connecting your trailer to make sure the green light indicating a connection shows up on the display.

If not just let me know and I will be happy to look into this further.
