You will need to use a circuit tester, like part # PTW2993, to test the wires under your dash. That is where your stoplight switch is located. We have a video of a 1993 Chevy Suburban being fitted with a brake controller. Start at the 7:20 time mark on the video and you can see where our installer locates the wire. You should find the wire in a similar location but use a circuit tester to verify.
