Brake Controller Wiring for a 2006 Chevy Silverado Pickup

Question:

will this harness work with a Tekonsha voyager 9030 on a 2006 Chevy Silverodo, and can you tell me what color wires do I match up as the brake controller has wires and not a plug, so I have to splice the wires to the harness, so I need to know what colors brake controller go to what colors on harness

If your 2006 Chevrolet has the factory installed 7-way you will need an adapter to install the brake controller. The Tekonsha Voyager brake controller has the wires hard wired into the unit so the Tekonsha Wire Replacement for GM Vehicles, 2003 - 2006, part # 3015-p, would not be the easiest way to install the Voyager. An easier route would be to purchase the Universal Brake Control Wiring Adapter 2003 - 06 Chevrolet, GMC, Cadillac, part # 3015-S, and then wire it to the Voyager brake controller with the included butt connectors. When connecting the the wires to the adapter you will connect the like colors together.

If your truck does not have the factory installed 7-way connector then you will need to do some extra wiring, and purchase an installation kit, part number ETBC7, along with the Universal Brake Control Wiring Adapter 2003 - 06 Chevrolet, GMC, Cadillac, part # 3015-S, to complete the wiring and install the 7-way connector at the rear of your pickup.

We have a detailed installation instructions page on our web site for the Chevrolet and GMC 1999-2006 Pickups, and I have posted a link to it below along with links to the items mentioned above.
