#41 of 199 Re: where to hook electric brake controller on a 2007 silverado NBS [paisan] by chrmdome Mar 30, 2007 (4:13 pm)
Replying to: paisan (Mar 29, 2007 7:06 pm) Sir:   The " emergency " switch is actually a small lever on the bottom of the unit. The unit is in easy reach of my left hand..with the right hand on the wheel I would not even loose sight of the road. The unit is level with the bottom of the dash ... no problem, it's not down in the foot well.   Chromedome Replies to this message: paisan (Mar 30, 2007 4:41 pm)

#43 of 199 2005 F250 Brake Controller Wiring Connector by dee004 Apr 02, 2007 (1:05 pm)
I have an 05 F250 Super Duty CC 6.0L. Does anybody know where the connector is under the dash to hook my controller to? I received the connector with the truck and wired it to my new Prodigy controller but can't find the connector under the dash. Thanks Don dee004rogers.com

Replying to: chrmdome (Mar 16, 2007 7:22 pm) Chromedome,   Thanks for the info on the 2007 Silverado brake controller wiring, VERY HELPFUL, I found all the wires as you stated including an orange one under the dash, in that same wiring harness, does the on/off light work on your controller when you apply the brakes without that orange wire being hooked up?

Replying to: stockdragrace (Apr 05, 2007 3:58 pm) Greetings;   I have a Prodigy. The Prodigy has only 4 wires and does not use the orange wire. If I understand the Chevy wiring description, the orange wire is not used. The Prodigy goes on when you move the vehicle and turn on the engine and remains on until the power saver mode kicks in.... at rest , the Prodigy does not have any light display on its screen..until you start the vehicle and then it goes on automatically from movement, it is not wired through the ignition switch.   Chromedome Replies to this message: jklingel8 (May 01, 2007 7:38 pm) bdrainy (Mar 23, 2007 1:04 am) bdrainy (Mar 20, 2007 12:55 pm) geo9 (Mar 21, 2007 8:05 am) bdrainy (Mar 21, 2007 10:07 am) and 1 more... leonchin (Mar 23, 2007 1:04 am)
#46 of 199 Trailer brake on 07 GMC by triki_dick Apr 30, 2007 (4:55 am)
I found this post!! GREAT!!   Questions, you say fuses 65 + 70.... My GMC has a fuse in 65 and 70 is empty.   Also, the power from thats under the brake booster, I only find 1 red/black wire. I asume this is correct, but I want to 100% make sure.   And, where do I hook up the red/black wire. Is it on the front of the under/hood fuse box? Because you talk about small post,big post. Is there a difference.

Replying to: chrmdome (Apr 06, 2007 4:21 pm) I have an 07 Classic, and the wiring was a cake-walk; pigtail in glovebox, plug into harness at floor, and wire to Prodigy. The small "unused" wire is for illuminating the brake controller, which the Prodigy does not need. Keep the wire handy (and well insulated from grounding out) in case you need to illuminate anything, like the knuckle heads at GM who decided to not pre-wire the trucks any more. IDIOTS, I say, even if some folks were screwing the wiring up.
