Expert Reply:
The trailer wiring harness part # 118508 that you referenced has been confirmed as a fit for your 2014 Chevy Cruze, but it will only provide the taillight functions for a trailer. To activate the trailer brakes you will need two more things.
First you will need the part # ETBC7 to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. This comes with everything needed for the install.
Next you will need a brake controller. For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes.
