First you will need to locate the brake controller wires in your 2022 Chevrolet Express van. One you have located the wires you will need to use a Test Light # PTW2993 to verify that the wiring is functioning properly. You should have a power wire, brake switch signal wire, ground wire and a wire going to the 7-way at the back of the vehicle. With all these functioning properly you will be able to connect a Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195. If they are not functioning you will need to contact your Chevrolet dealer to determine what all is required to get all the wires functioning properly.

For the trailer connector I recommend using the 7- and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket w/ Mounting Bracket # HM40975. This will give you a factory style connector with both a 4-way flat and 7-way blade connector. It will connect to the factory connector for the trailer wiring provision on your van.
