HELP! Wiring brake controller

[nhproxr]

I'm trying to connect an electric brake controller on a '98 Yukon and I'm having some trouble. Does anyone have a tips on where I can make the connection to the cold side of the stoplight switch???? It is way up above the steering column and with all the d**n wiring under the dash I can't see it at all. Is there anywhere else this wire comes out into the open where I can make the connection???

I wish I could tell you exactly what to do. There is a courtesty panel on the lower left side of the brake pedal. One of those you can push a connector in to to get the feed for the brake switch. I found that out by finding a product manual for a brake controller of a different brand of my own. I think it was a Tekonsha, but I looked at their website and they've changed it all now.

 

If you keep looking, there is a very easy solution. I'll try to look at my panel later to see which one it is.

It can be frustrating. You can find the wire down at the brake pedal at the stop light switch. It's better to go into the correct slot on the convience center. Either download directions from your controller manufacturer or go to the Prodigy- Tekonsha web site , they have detailed directions there. The 1998 is different from other model years

 

on edit here is the info on the convience center

 

1998-1999 GM Trucks, Suburbans, and Tahoes

1. Locate the convenience center at the firewall just

under the emergency brake pedal.

2. At the bottom of the convenience center locate the

bottom row of cavities marked:

• DRK GRN (Rectangular Shaped)

• NAT (Square Shaped)

3. Inside the small square cavity (NAT) are two male

spade terminals. The spade terminal on the right is

the Stoplight Feed (A).

4. Connect an INSULATED 1/8” female spade

terminal to the brake control’s RED (stoplight) wire.

5. Connect the female spade terminal to the male

terminal specified in STEP 3.
