Brake contoller wiring.....
 

I am assuming that my 2007 Silverado has been pre-wired for a aftermarket electric brake controller, right??? Can someone tell me where it might be? What the bundle of wires looks like? The truck has the trailer tow package. Thanks in advance , for the help!

Welcome to the forum!!! Your truck should be prewired, but I don't know what the cluster of wires look like. The junctionshould be behind the panel under the steering wheel.

Does your truck have a 7 prong trailer plug at the tail?

Go to this link. It gives very good instruction on the brake controller installation.

what brand did you go with mikey? and how much did it run you? ive been thinking of getting one but i dont want to spend a whole lot of money if i wont be using it every weekend you know?

this is what I bought, for the same reasons. Cheap, and it does what I want it to do. I know that there are MUCH better controllers out there, for more money; but THIS works for me. I tow a small enclosed, single axle trailer. The whole rig weighs@ 3600lbs. loaded; ready for the road.

My 2007 Silverado CC 4X4 LT2 was supposed to have the trailer towing package; it only has tow/haul mode. The unit does not have the ABS integrated brake trailer controller as a factory option. The unit does not have extenable mirrors either. I want to tow a travel trailer with the Silver, but want to tow it leagally and safely. I've checked on-line and found a Class IV hitch assembly as well as WD and anti sway set up. Also found an aftermarket trailer brake controller. Where do I hook into the wiring harness to install the brake controller?

The whole package to set up the Silverado 1500 for towingcomes to about $1000.00. That price does not include towing mirrors. Anyone have any idea about a decent looking set of mirrors? I don't want to look like the Clampetts dragging a TT down the road. Any feedback will be appreciated here or e-mail.

What is the difference in the Classic, HD and New Body Silverado?
