Expert Reply:
Depending on your vehicle year make and model, I will be able to provide instructions for wiring the Tekonsha Voyager brake controller. I have included the instructions for the Voyager, an FAQ article that features a basic diagram near the middle of the document, and an article on wiring a brake controller from scratch.
The wires coming out of the Voyager attach as follows. The red wire attaches to the brake light switch wire that carriers a signal only when the brake pedal is pressed. You will need a circuit tester, like part # PTW2993, to test the wires. The black wire on the brake controller is the 12-volt hot lead. This wire routes first to a 20- or 30-amp circuit breaker, then to the positive terminal of the battery. The white wire is the ground, and it gets routed to the negative battery terminal. The blue wire runs back to the blue wire coming from the 7-Way connector or to the electric brake wire terminal inside a 7 or 6-Way connector. The circuit breaker needed will depend on how many brake axles are on your trailer. If you have one or two axles with brakes, use a 20-amp breaker, # 9506P, if your trailer has 3 or four axles with brakes use a 30-amp breaker, # 38630.
If you need further detailed instructions, I can help if you give me the year make and model of your vehicle.
