Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 1997 Chevrolet C/K Series Pickup

Today in this 1997 Chevrolet CK series pickup, we're going to install the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake controller, part number 90195. Now to help us with our install, we're also going to use part number ETBC7. This is Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controllers. This is what the P3 Brake Controller looks like installed in the typical location. The main thing about our brake controller here is it's a proportional brake controller. That means it has sensors on the inside that can tell how hard you're hitting your brake, and it'll match how hard you're hitting your brake and send that proportionately to your trailer out back. Now the insides of our brake controller are automatically leveling. more

Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 1996 Chevrolet C/K Series Pickup

Today on our 1996 Chevy CK Pickup truck, we'll be installing the ETB C7 in junction with the Tekonsha Progigy P3 Brake Controller which is part number 90195. We will first begin by picking a location where we're going to mount our 7-way trailer plug. In this case because the trailer hitch comes out so far, we're going to go ahead and drill two small holes in the underside of the bumper to mount our bracket. Once we have the holes drilled, we'll go ahead and use the supplied screws and nuts to attach the bracket to the lower bumper. Next we'll go ahead and take some of the wire looms supplied with the kit and put it over the wires coming out of the back of the 7-way. Then we'll go ahead and feed the 7-way onto the bracket and attach it with the supplied screws and nuts. Next, we're going to go ahead and make the 4-way connection with the 4-way that's already on the vehicle and because this vehicle already had a 4-way on it, we've already gone ahead and tested it to make sure that everything is working properly. You want to make sure when making your connection of the two 4-ways that you use some dielectric grease on the connection before pushing them together. more
