If your truck is going to have the pig tail harness needed to install the # 3024-P harness it will be right above the where your right foot would be covered in a foam tape.

Sometimes, these harnesses do not end up in the same exact location on every vehicle of the same model. The connector may be hidden and you may have to do a bit of searching to find the right connector. We have had pickups in for installations where the brake controller harness connector was hidden out of sight up under the dash.

If not you could hardwire the controller with the # 5506. Since you have a 7-Way you will only need a few more components to complete a brake controller install on your vehicle.

Next, for a wiring kit to install the brake controller and the 7-way adapter you would want the Wiring Kit for 2 and 4 Brake Electric Brake Controllers # 5506. This will provide the power source and ground for the wiring for the brake controller. You will need to test the wires from the brake pedal switch of your vehicle to find a circuit that has voltage when the brakes are applied and none when not applied. This will be the circuit you will run the red wire to.

Finally you will need to run a length of 10 gauge wire (part # 10-1-1) from the brake output circuit of the controller to the brake output circuit of the 7-way (blue wire). The # 10-1-1 is sold by the foot so you will need to order a quantity of the amount of feet you will need.
