Since your 2005 Pontiac Vibe would not have came from the factory with a 7-way the one you have would be an aftermarket one. To connect to the blue wire of the connector will require you to run a 10 gauge wire back from the blue wire of the controller to the blue wire of the 7-way which would be the pin in the 5:00 position of the connector.
I attached an install video that shows a brake controller and 7-way being installed in a similar 2003 Pontiac Vibe as yours for you to check out to show you how the wire would get connected.
