Brake Controller Question

antig24 · June 4, 2003

Our new truck I posted about a while ago came with a brake controller already installed. We have a brake controller on our old truck but would like to use the one on our new truck instead of adding our old trucks controller to our new truck since it's already installed on our new truck. The problem is that we know nothing about the controller on our new truck. We only know the name of the company who made it, which is Kelsey. There is no model name or number on the controller. I was wondering if any one knows anything about it like model or number and how to use it properly. Also behind the controller there is supposed to be 4 wires connected to the controller, but there's only 3. The other wire, which is black, is not connected to the controller. Does anyone know where it is supposed to connect to the controller? Here are some pictures of the controller:

Thanks

Not going to be tons of help right now but tomorrow I'll be able to help you. Our 97 PSD has that exact brake controller in it and since its a formans I don't drive it much and pull with it none. I'll try to identify how to use it as well as the wiring diagram for the back of it since we probably have the owners manual somewhere. As far was the factory GM wiring there should be a sticker somewhere on the wires that connect your brake controller to the power box. If not I would call GM up or a dealer and ask what colors need to be connected to what on the brake controller and then you can check from there.

I do know though that on some brake controllers you don't need all the wires to hook up. Some brake controllers need AUX. Power for lights or chimes they have have. You need a PWR, GROUND, PEDAL for a basic controller to work. My Prodigy uses all of the wires though.

So I'll check tomorrow and post again hopefully I can help you.

Thanks for the help.

One more question: Does anyone know where the stock circuit breaker is located under the hood (or is it somewhere else?) for the towing package or do you have to just put one on yourself?

Thanks!
