Expert Reply:
A brake controller wiring harness is not available for the 1997 Chevy K 1500 pickup. You will need to hardwire in a brake controller using 3 parts: a brake controller, a 4 and 7 way installation kit, and a 4-Way trailer wiring harness.
If your truck already has a 4-Way trailer connector then you will not need to add one. But if it does not have any trailer wiring you will need to first install # 118315. I have linked installation instructions for you.
Next you will need a 4 and 7 way installation kit # ETBC7. This provides the 7-Way trailer connector and all of the wiring and accessories needed to wire in a brake controller. I have included some links that explain the ETBC7 installation for you.
And last you will need the brake controller itself. I recommend the Tekonsha P2 # 90885 because it is easy to set up, easy to use, and it is reliable. I have included a link to the installation details for you.
