Trailer breaking

[weekend worrior]

Just bought 2011 sierra 1500 and need to add a brake control. Found the control but not a wiring harness to fit. Anyone know where to find the harness with the correct plug adapter for 2011 Sierra 1500??

That should have come with the brake controller but from what I found out there is no plug in adapters to be found, its has to be direct wired. If your truck already has the HD trailering pkg the owners manual will tell you where to find the wire leads but not how to connect them. I had mine installed by a RV/AC Delco service center and I did not have to worry about those things. I have a Prodigy brake controller.

the wires are tape under the hood just below the master cylinder if you have the tow package.(you can't miss them)

from your owners manual page starting on page 9-116
Your vehicle may or may not have these depending on how it is optioned out.

Electric Brake Control Wiring
Provisions
These wiring provisions are
included with the vehicle as part
of the trailer wiring package. These
provisions are for an electric brake
controller. The instrument panel
contains blunt cut wires behind the
steering column for the trailer brake
controller. The harness contains the
following wires:
. Dark Blue: Brake Signal to
Trailer Connector
. Red/Black: Battery
. Light Blue/White: Brake Switch
. White: Ground
The harness should be installed by
your dealer or a qualified service
center.

If the vehicle is equipped with an
Integrated Trailer Brake Control
(ITBC) System, the blunt cuts
exist, but are not connected further
in the harness. If an aftermarket
trailer brake controller is installed,
the ITBC must be disconnected.
Do not power both ITBC and
aftermarket controllers to control
the trailer brakes at the same time.
