Help Removing Wiring Box Cover On 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500 For Installing Tekonsha Brake Controller
Question:
Hey, just about to order a trailer controller from you guys. Really have appreciated your website and the guidance from it. I was attempting to locate the connection port in my 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500, full size cab, short bed... I found the electrical junction box behind emergency brake but I cant get the cover off of it for the life of me. Its like theres a stud of some sort in the middle of it. I tried to pry the cover off of the stud in case there was a screw hidden behind it and I cant even get that off. Whats the trick? I really dont want to break something in the process if I can help it. Thanks for your thoughts.
