How to get Power to my 2014 Chevy Tahoe Brake controller.
Question:
I am trying to wire up the Prodigy P2 brake controller to my 2014 Tahoe. I have located the wiring under the dash, but after testing I dont seem to have any power to this wiring. Are there specific fuses that I can check or possibly replace to heat the connection up? Thank you.

There is an easy solution for you here! To get power to your Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller - part # 90885 You simply need to connect the two wires under the hood shown in the included video at the 3:42 minute mark. The first will provide power to your brake controller and the second is to get 12V power back to your 7-way. While the power to the 7-way isn't required it is nice to have available for a powered jack or other accessories.
Once connected if you still don't have power you'll need a 30-amp j case fuse that will go in the fuse location directly toward the rear of the Tahoe from where you connected the wire. In most cases these are already present but if not they are readily available.
