It sounds like you are talking about the tow package wires under your 1996 Chevy pickup. The orange or red wire is for 12 volt power to the 7-Way trailer connector. It powers 12 volt accessories on the trailer and/or provides a maintenance charge to a trailer battery. It connects to the back of the truck 7-Way at the 11 oclock position.
The blue wire is output for electric trailer brakes. It connects to the back of the truck 7-Way in the 7 oclock position.
