Hard to get right connector and right seals/ plugs for new connector, then buy module, and finally pay dealer to program. LimeQuat Help

I doubt Jeremy can help with this as his specialty is PCM tuning and retrofitting.
It might be possible to program it out but you would need two things: a Tech 2 and an SPS subscription. A dealer might be able to do this too. To check before shelling out any money, enter your VIN here and see if there is an option for the trailer brake.
Another option is to fix it. Might be able to find one in a yard.

It is not a common thing on Tahoe. The pick-up connector is different the fix is probably $300 or more. If they had protected the connector it would be easier. Oh and the connector is no longer offered.

That connector is to add after market controller. Mine came with factory integrated controller. Different scenario.the control module is on the frame rail and uses a 47 pin connector. The connector is no longer available.
Understood... But the idea here was to suggest an alternative way around the OEM Factory RPO issue and install the After-Market Brake Controller instead as a Work-Around that would produce the same restorative results... and not dissuade potential buyers from taking the truck off of your hands at the Highest Possible Dollar. This assumes of course, that an After-Market Unit would not cost you too much.
