What's going on guys,
I have a 1999 Chevy Silverado 2500, ECSB, 4x4. I just picked up a Tekonsha Prodigy Trailer Brake Controller for it. The truck has the factory heavy duty towing package and is pre-wired for a brake controller. All I should have to do to install it is plug the harness into the slot under the dash and put a 40 amp fuse into the electrical box under the hood correct?
The reason I am asking is because I went to a local truck accessory store (they sell truck accessories, camper shells, and small trailers) who performs brake controller installs and he told me I would have to un-bolt the electrical box under the hood and physically connect the wires for the 40 amp fuse. If the truck is pre-wired from the factory, why in the world would I have to remove the electrical box to connect wires for it?
Somebody with some technical experience please help me here. Much appreciated.
Semper Fidelis,
Adam
