Will Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller Fit a 2017 Chevy Express Van

Question:

I have a 2017 chevy express 3500 LWB with the factory tow package have the brake controller wires under floor mat behind brake pedal and i was wondering why your site says the Redarc tow pro liberty with universal harness Item # RED52VR will not work? Even though your site has an install video on a 2022 express van.

The Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED52VR will work just fine for your 2017 Chevy Express Van. You'll just need to splice the wiring from the controller to the following functions:

Blue - 7-Way Output to Trailer
Black - 12V Power
White - Ground
Red - COLD Side of Stop Light Switch (only gets hot when brake pedal is pressed)

The wire that runs from the control box to the control dial is a standard ethernet cord so if you need that longer (since your wiring is under your driver's seat) you can just get an ethernet cord that's long enough for your application.

Our fitguide isn't always complete which is why you're seeing the fit message, but I've sent in a note to have this fixed for you.
