It appears you are connecting your tow vehicle wiring to a 6-way connection like the RoadMaster 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Kit # RM-146. Making these connections is not difficult and I've attached a video and photo as well as linked an article to assist with these connections.

You won't use the blue brake controller output location, but I do recommend connecting the 12V power using the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-156-25 to maintain your battery while towing.

No sweat! You'll just need to install a 12-volt outlet kit, part #RM-9332. The socket would be located under the dash, so you can easily locate it to plug in the Patriot. The outlet would wire directly to the vehicle's battery. Each time you…
