Expert Reply:
On a 2011 Chevy Equinox you cannot tap into the brake light switch to install a brake controller. You have to get the signal from the BCM (body control module). It is located up under the dash to the left of the brake pedal. There is a 26-pin connector. You need the wire in position 11. It should be a white wire.
I have included a picture that should help. I have also included a link to another answer page to the right that also has that picture.
