I broke down and ordered the P3 and 3016 connector. Does anyone have pics of where they installed theirs?

Bump.

 

Those looking for a factory harness to install an aftermarket brake controller...part # 23184088 $32.00.

Just to let those future trailering people out there know that I have just installed my P3 controller with p/n 23184088 harness. I've chosen the underdash spot between the e-brake pedal and the diagnostic plug assy. It's a tight fit but close to the firewall module where the harness fits into. I've also taken the time to make a large enough hole in the junction block cover and install a grommet. I took the wire ends out of the plug, threaded the wires through the cover/grommet and re-installed the wires in the plug, then plugged the whole works in. Again it's tight, but the cover is in, the harness feeds straight into the junction block and the P3 controller hangs nearby.

I hope to go out to my travel trailer storage in the next week or so to try the controller out. I've got my trailer on jack stands so I can get an assistant to spin the wheels of the trailer by hand to make sure brake action is all good.

So just as I promised, I will let you all know the outcome of my installation of the 23184088 harness and Tekonsha P3 controller. IT WENT WELL!

The $32.00 GM harness is THE way to go. Instructions that came with the harness are well written and simple to understand. I tested the system as mentioned above and it worked with no communication failures or check engine lights, etc.

If you have liitle or no experience dealing with late model North American vehicle harness' and electrical systems, than my advice to you is to buy the 23184088 harness, a brand name aftermarket controller and have your GM dealer install it.

 

Regards and happy trailering.

I've got mine plugged right in and it powers up just fine. I have not hooked up a trailer with brakes yet though.

They are suppose to provide this 1 time free of charge. I would hit your dealership up for a $32 refund.

GM has a bulletin out stating that you cannot add JL1 to a truck after the fact.

 

They also have a bulletin that says they will make and supply a harness at no charge, see your dealer about #PIT5228: Interim Aftermarket Trailer Brake Controller Harness - (Nov 12, 2013)

I dont have the factory installed Integrated Trailer Brake Control in my 2014 Silverado. I am thinking of getting the GM pigtail (23184088) and brake control. Does GM have all these items and if not what is the best brake control to install and where is the best place to install it in the truck so it is out of the way etc.? I dont do too much trailer hauling mainly light duty. Has anyone installed one and has photos how it looks in the truck?

Most of the trucks on the dealer lots with the trailer package does not have the factory installed Integrated Trailer Brake Control. Maybe the dealers are trying to keep the cost down but I feel it should be included to complete the package. The price is not too much anyways.

 

It appears a lot of people will have to put in their own trailer brake control so GM can now sell the harness etc. costing more money.

Too bad GM made it to where the stock one cant be retro'd into another truck. My controller is coming out tomorrow so I can put the cubby hole version of the dash cluster in. I would have never ordered the controller had it been my choice.

Why would you want to take it out to put a hole there? I think it looks "nicer" with it in.. More buttons, more fancy lol.. I haven't used mine yet, but will be as soon as I can find the trailer I like.. I have the air bags installed, the WDH bought, and the trailer I like gets sold out from under me... Oh by the way, I sat in a 15 LTZ Tahoe today and it too had the brake controller.. Also the Mylink and the screen in the cluster are updated and look a lot nicer/newer

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By tararebecca · Posted

      I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need.webcrimsNY

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By artistemorbidity · Posted

      I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
