Expert Reply:

The wiring harness that you will want for your Prodigy brake controller and your 2005 Chevrolet Suburban Z71 is part # 3015-P. For a mounting bracket, you can use part # P7685. You can also use part # 7686, if you plan on removing the brake controller from the truck frequently.

I have attached an installation video of the Prodigy on a 2004 Suburban for you to check out. The installation will be the same on your 2005 model. The factory brake controller port is located under the driver's side dash to the left of the brake pedal. There will be a black plastic cover over the port.

The 2007 GMC Sierra Classic uses the same brake controller wiring harness as the 2006 GMC Sierra, #3015-P for a Tekonsha brake controller. The 2001 Chevy Tahoe uses a different harness, #3025-P or #3025-S. What you can do if you do not want to buy a…

Both the #3015-P and the part #3015-S will work just fine with your vehicle. The difference is that the #3015-P will plug directly into the back of the P-3 controller, while the 3015-S would need to be spliced into the bare leads that exit the rear…

You could use the brake controller part #3015-P on basically any brake controller out there but you'd have to cut off the black end of the harness and wire by color to the new controller. Normally it directly connects to Tekonsha and Draw Tite…
