The 2006 Chevy Silverado is an excellent truck for hauling and towing, but without a properly installed trailer brake controller, it can be dangerous. Installation of a trailer brake controller in the 2006 Silverado is essential for safe towing. With this guide, you can install your own trailer brake controller on the 2006 Chevy Silverado quickly and easily.
To begin the installation, remove the negative cable from the battery and locate the driver’s side kick panel. Next, attach the mounting hardware that is included with the brake controller. Place the brake controller in one of two locations. If it is mounted near the steering wheel, the wiring harness should be routed through the bottom part of the steering column. If the brake controller is located elsewhere in the cab, the wiring can be run along or behind the dash panel.
Once the mounting and wiring is complete, connect the ground wire to the mounting bracket of the brake controller. Use the included adhesive ties to secure the wiring to the frame of the truck. Connect the black wire from the brake controller to the blue wire leading to the trailer lights. Finally, reconnect the negative cable to the battery and test the brake controller to make sure it is working properly.
Installing a trailer brake controller in the 2006 Chevy Silverado requires minimal tools and no special technical skills. Following the steps outlined in this guide will ensure that your trailer brake controller is correctly installed and functioning properly so that you can haul with confidence.
