Expert Reply:
It sounds to me like the 12 volt wire you found attached to the stub at the power distribution box under the hood on your 2012 Chevrolet Silverado is the 12 volt power wire for the 7-Way trailer connector at the rear of the truck.
The power wire for the brake controller should be located between the power distribution box and the fender well. I recently took a photo of these wire locations on a 2012 Suburban that should help you locate your brake controller power wire, see link.
