The purple/white brake light switch wire is going to be located under inside the dash above the brake pedal. This will require you to remove portions of the dash to gain access and install the Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-88400.

I've attached a video where Connor will help walk you through this installation.
