asked by: Joe
Expert Reply:
The Tekonsha Voyager Trailer Brake Controller part # 39510 when used with the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers part # 3015-P on a 2006 GMC Sierra will receive power from the vehicle's power distribution center. I first recommend you test the black wire on the adapter harness with the brake controller unplugged. If you do get power then the issue is with the brake controller and it will need to be replaced. The Tekonsha Primus IQ Trailer Brake Controller part # TK90160 is a great upgrade for this that will use the same plug as before.
If you don't have power on the black wire for the adapter harness then odds are you just have a blown fuse or bad connection with the ring terminal for the brake controller power on the power distribution center so be sure to look these over.
