Trailer Brake controller install in a 2006 Chevy Express Van
(other models may be similair)
Please
visit my general install page for overall instructions
Brake contoller will have 4 wires to connect. (I quote Tekonsha wire
colors, but many brands are the same)
Blue wire will run to the back of the
truck, and connect to the Blue (brake) terminal on the trailer plug
(drill a hole in the firewall and run the wire under the truck)
White wire is to frame ground. (find a
scew under the dash)
Red Wire taps into stop light switch (see pitctures below)
Black wire is battery feed, hook to stud
in fuse panel under dash (through that same hole you drilled for the
blue wire)
Tap into this wire with a side tap
(scotch lock) for the brake light feed (red wire)
Stub below is power feed for brake
controller, fuse that powers it is empty in picture, and circled
