I was wondering if anyone knew if i had to install a electric brake control unit for a trailor that has electric brakes.

The former owner of the trailer said i needed to install one somewhere inside the cab, and there should be a harness or wires i connect it to.

I was under the assumtion that the wiring harness we have on the Escalade was complete for all trailors.

Please help and advise, and thanks in advance!

On my Denali (which is the same as the Escalade), there was a small harness that came with the truck. It is the electric trailer brake harness. From what I recall, all you need is to have it installed and you're ready to go.
