Nice job on video. Had to do this to my 2012 Sierra. FYI the screws are not Allen head. They are T-30 torx. I realize this is an older video but hopefully others will benefit. Thanks

Great video. Thanks for sharing. One addition the may help some others; I have a 09' Sierra 1500 z71 crew cab SLT. On my truck, there was another large control box mount over the brake controller you are replacing. If you notice in the video, there are 3 additional slots, 2 just above and 1 just past the square opening. This is where the additional control box is mounted so all you can see is the wiring harness sticking out (barely). You can't really get to the screws to loosen it from the top so just use a regular 5/32 socket on the end of the 3 screws you see sticking out. Remember you are turning from the bottom so clockwise is to loosen. Loosen these up a bit and it will slide out of the slotted areas and you will see your prize. Everything else is spot on in the video. I did not need to replace the 30a fuse either. Worked like a charm. Again, well done on the video.

I was thinking to repase the trailer brake control but thanks to your tutoríal I found that the Problem was a simple fuse 😁

This is ONLY ONE of several possible issues,by far not the only one.Some have to have the brake controller switch itself replaced (easy to do) this module you are showing did NOT fix mine, I paid $28.00 for mine online and free shipping was an original OEM GM part. Some of theses Only need the harness connectors cleaned out with an air hose and use a small amount of dielectric grease in it and plug back in. There is a second larger box on some of the pickups, and this box you are repairing, on some models is difficult to locate since it is mounted above other boxes and hidden out of sight directly above the spare tire location and you use a TORX socket to get it out to replace it.If you are having the Service Trailer Brake warning light,Do a lot of research First there is more than one fix.Start with the cheapest thing first.Clean the plug connector and try that first then proceed to spend money if necessary. These parts are usually not returnable since they are electronic parts.

On my 08 Silverado 2500HD, the relay is mounted above the driver side rear tire on the frame rail. It takes a 10mm socket. You don't need to drop the spare tire to access it. Also, it DID NOT fix my "service trailer brake system." I guess I would advise people to go to their local parts store and get the error code before replacing parts, which I didn't do.

Landon Threet, I replaced both modules in the rear wheel well area. My code is still on, I haven't had mine "reflashed" yet but a friend of mine went through the same thing and his light went off after it was reflashed. I guess the bigger of the 2 modules needs to have the VIN number programmed into it with a GM tech 2 scanner to have the dash light go off.

Would this only be present on sierras with factory controller? I just installed an aftermarket controller on my 2012 and it keeps going to overload. Wondering if this might be the issue? I have checked basically the whole harness going to the 7 pin and replaced my brake lamp switch trying to find a short.
