Expert Reply:
The best way to find the cold side brake switch wire in your 2017 Chevrolet Colorado is to simply test the wires using a circuit tester like # PTW2993. You will want to find the wire that only has power when the brakes are applied in the vehicle.
Depending on what you are installing, you may also be able to use the bundle of wires that should be located behind the dash, to the left of the emergency brake pedal. This bundle is typically used for installing a brake controller. Looking at an installation video on a 2015 Chevrolet Colorado, which I have attached for you to review, it looks like the wire you are looking for is going to be white with a light blue stripe. Because manufacturers often change the factory wire colors, I still recommend testing these wires to ensure you get the correct one.
