Expert Reply:
Typically the wire color you would be looking for on the brake switch of your 1998 GMC truck will be white. But you will need to use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to verify that the wire has 12 volts when the brakes are applied and none when released.
I attached an install video that shows a brake controller install in a similar truck as yours.
